Trying to figure out exactly how the new rockbox build broke my wps screen.

The new build seems to have thrown a wrench in the works for me when it comes to my wps screen.  I basically reverse engineered my wps screen from an existing one, and it's been working great for a year or two now.  It doesn't work, however, with the newer build I just installed, and I have no idea what it is in my wps that the new build doesn't like.  Trying to figure this out is going to be extremely complicated since this stuff is very complicated and foreign to me.

Is there some documentation that shows which aspects of the new wps format have changed compared to the old one so that I don't have to essentially start from scratch?  It took me quite a while to figure this stuff out before, and I had the luxury of a wps screen that already worked.  Now, the "base" screen I'm using doesn't even work anymore, so I have no idea where to look for where the problem might be occurring.

Thanks,

Larry

The WPS parser is now more picky code that would be wrong but not critical used to not break a WPS, but now it will. (I actually prefer this, because as a WPS author I like to know if I missed a < character or something)

You could try running the theme on a simulator by running it with the  --debugwps option, but as it seems you are a little lacking in WPS code knowledge I doubt that the output would be of use to you. If you want, I will try to fix the wps for you, just PM me the .wps file, or post it here.

Thanks evil,

I'm sending you the file.

I noticed that at least some of the syntax is changed, such as the clock.  How "much" of it is changed is what I honestly don't know.  Thanks for any help you might be able to offer in getting this to work again.

Thanks again,

Larry

As far as I know, changes in RTC code will not break the WPS, but I will fix that too ;)

Angyman:
Most WPS just have to be fixed in these areas:

Clock Syntax - See the wiki
Conditionals - no more blank spaces before the "
