Sunrise and linux
Hi Laurens
Will sunrise work in linux if i use the commandline to convert documents. Document manipulation is not really needed but i want to use a linux box for scheduling downloads. thanks tovarish |

I might expand support to other platforms after the 1.0 release of my own product. (Most likely that would be Mac OS X.) |

gtk+ isn't slow, and there's no reason to use Motif unless you really want to (and again, it too isn't "dog slow"). Only a bad architect blames his hammer. Quote:

i dont see though why commandline updation of documents can't be done in linux. right now i have no problems with manipulation of an sdl in windows while i run a cronjob to download and convert in linux.
I dont need hotsync support and i am not using it in windows too. How much effort would it need to make a simple commandline version (like the one in windows) which just uses a .sdl file to download or update documents. I would really like to use my linux router to do this instead of my windows box. thanks tovarish |

The reason Sunrise is as actively developed as it is, is because there's a commercial incentive behind it. Now if I did expand support to other platforms, even with a simple command-line tool, there would be a reason for people NOT to choose my product. Namely: the freeware version supports Linux, while the commercial version does not. Hope you understand. |

well if thats the reason then its ok, its just that i only use the commandline version to update documents so i didnt see a difference in the platform support for that.
