| Author/Date | Linux Version |
| Lowspirit 11/06/2002 5:25pm | The highly anticipated Linux version, what is the progress? I've almost entirely managed to switch over to Linux, even tried KMail there for awhile, but as usual I quickly changed back to i.Scribe, which force me to boot into XP more then I really want to.
And, will it be available as some for of easily installed RPM for us challenged/lazy/stupid Linux users? |
| fReT 11/06/2002 11:05pm | It will initially be available as a zip, like the windows version. Just unzip somewhere and run.
As for progress I havn't had much time lately because a) I've been fixing the codepage stuff for the win32 version and b) I've started full time work again so I have no time... The whole installing Gentoo took time out of the schedule for a linux release, but it had to happen. Mandrake is slow and broken. But it's all back on track. As soon as the threading is sorted out I'll post an alpha. At the moment it crashes all the time when you do anything with threads. |

Easy and fully functional! M. |
| Lowspirit 12/06/2002 3:59pm | I think the simple .zip and run sounds good, i'll anxiously be keeping an eye out for it.
Some questions regarding the i.Scribe for Linux : 1. Will there be HTML view, and if yes, how? 2. Will toolbar graphic format stay the same, so I can use "skins" back and forth between OS's? 3. The .XML signature format... how will that work under Linux? I would hate to loose my witty random quote in my signature. 4. Will it be equally fast? (or dare I dream... faster?) |
| fReT 12/06/2002 6:20pm | Lowspirit:
1. Low priority, probably start a default browser window with a file name. 2. Toolbar format exactly the same... same files even. 3. XML signature stays the same. 4. It'll be reasonable. I know at the start there will be some issues with the XLib command buffer getting too full and updates lagging. But thats only my lack of knowledge and XLib's lameness. Other programs work around it so I'm sure I can too. Also thats only for full drag resizing of a window, which you don't do all the time. |

Just reeeally eager to get my hands on this linux port. |

| fReT 06/06/2004 8:16am | Andrew: There is a bug in the most recent public release. However I think I've fixed the problem in the developement build. I just need to release it. |
