what I did was that I change all character code between 0xc0 and 0xff. That includes some but not all character with diacritics. You#re a lot more into that subject so can you provide me a list of character encoding for the characters you are using? I’ve got such a list from Sanford for translating traditional Chinese characters to simplified ones. Error checking was not possible but he just told me that it’ working for him.

Anyway, I’m glad that you like the application. Thanks for the kind words.

yes, downloading the images take very very long. Internally the ImageGetter uses 16 threads so 16 different images are downloaded at the same time. But the servers aren’t very fast. Maybe because the small 120px images aren’t in there caches.

You can stop the ImageGetter at any time and resume downloading later. What you’ve already downloaded is not downloaded again.

I also like the new “clear” button and the “random article” feature. Very nice!

yes, the old file are comatible. I even don’t have indexed the English edition again.

I assume you get the problems because of 1.1.4. Today I have the ability to check the software on 1.1.3. I was not able to do this in the last week. Maybe I should send you a new version before the next time so we can check if anything works fine.

But what you can do: First, on 1.1.3 an above the article file must go to “/private/var/mobile/Media/Wikipedia/en” (in your case). This is the same folder as “/var/mobile/Media/Wikipedia/en”. “var” is simply a link. to “/private/var”.

On 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 your logged in as “mobile” not as “root” anymore. So you have a different home folder. AFAIK you not have to change any rights anymore (as before).

You cannot run the server on port 80 on 1.1.3/1.1.4 without having root right. But you can run it on 8080 with no special rights.

Sorry for the hazzl!

Are the old articles.bin files (ie ones used with v0.52) compatible with v0.60?

I deleted my v0.52 files from /Applications/Wiki2Touch.app, copied over the new v0.60 files, set the owner, set the permissions, restarted my iPT, started the Wiki2Touch app, and launched the browser. The home page comes up properly, but when I enter a search term, nothing comes up. It’s as though it’s not seeing the articles.bin file or something. It IS seeing the articles.bin file found in /Applications/Wiki2Touch.app/daemon/xx/ because if I key in “A”, it displays the “Articles not found” article in the search results. Likewise, when I key in “H”, it displays the “Help” article in the search results. But keying in anything else results in nothing.

I also copied over the new language.config file into /var/root/Media/Wikipedia/en.

Do I need to re-build my articles.bin file?

thanks. The click to that button is simply a little bit of JavaScript. Maybe the Mobile Safari has some flaws here. Maybe not. BTW: I’m using 1.1.2.

so for the time until I’ve fixed it: Don’t hit that button twice
