Why are you the only one that is fixing and improving the irex software
|
You are welcome to join
There are more people creating improvements for the DR if you look in this forum. I think that if there would have been sold a lot more units, more 'hobby developers' would have contributed. (Maybe the DR800 will do this?(if it will ever be sold
) I am mainly doing this to improve my linux programming skills and to improve my productivity on the DR.

You seem to have done more to ad to the software then irex itself?
|
That is not completely fair, they have invested a lot in creating an SDK that is easy to use, which is the basis for my development. Further if you count the lines that I am adding, they are only a fraction of the original code form iRex, and most of my code is copied from iRex code, and used for another purpose. I also have not done translations etc.
Then ofcourse there is the question, how much new functions are really usefull, where some more technical people would love to have a lot of extra features, others will get confused by them.

Also, why is that you can do what they should do in half the time?
|
That is the advantage of being a 'hobby developer'. I can put a disclaimer : 'limited tested' and 'install at your own risk', where iRex has to test all functions (and their combinations) in depth, which is time consuming (and thus expensive!).

By the way are you done with xjournal? Is it complete?
|
Well there still is the crash that happens when a full screen screen update (triggered by a button press) occurs at the same time as writing scribbles to the screen. Currently I am working on the recent-files/last opened document patches, so I do not have time to look at xournal. If you have remarks/want additions you can better ask them in the
message thread of xournal.
