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

Thanks -- I appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Larry, I get errors trying to extract the zip file you emailed me. I can open it up, but when I got to view/extract the file I get errors. I don't run windows so I'm not using the latest version of winzip, which  I have heard can cause some compatibility problems (WinZip 11 format, I think). I'm trying to find the right program, I run linux so if anyone can recommend something that'd be good. What would be better is if you could send me a .zip made from WinRAR, I'm sure that there are no issues with that program (don't worry it's free). Either that or just send me the .wps file.

EDIT: nevermind, got it to work ;) Turns out that Gnome's archive manager can handle the archive, still used to my kde apps

Larry, your wps is fixed, due to the nature of the problem, I thought it best to make a new archive, so
here is a link
 
The problem was that first, your cfg was referencing Applebox.wps (note the lowercase .wps) and the actual file was named Applebox.WPS. The way the parser works, the file needs to be named EXACTLY the same as it is referenced in the .cfg for it to be found by the parser. The second problem was that in the conditional for the hard disk activity, (%?h i think) there is a true value but not a false value.
(seen as this )   %?h< true
The parser requires that all conditionals have all values set to something (at least null (space)  ) and have them properly closed.
(like this ) %?h

This works on my local simulator so it should be OK on your player, I would remove the previous version from the player before I put the fixed one on there just to be safe.

THANKS so much for taking the time to do this.  The wps file is rather complicated to me, so even though I was able to make some changes to the original one myself, I don't think I would have been able to figure out all the things you fixed even by spending considerable time on it.

I'll give it a try and report back.

Thanks again,

Larry

evilg123,

Everything seems to work except for the battery level "icon display" in the UPPER right corner.  The battery "time remaining" readout displays correctly in the BOTTOM right corner, but there should also be an icon in the upper right that gives a graphic representation of the battery level, as well as the power and charging status.  This isn't displaying.

Also, you mentioned the hard drive activity indicator causing a problem, but I compared the old line to the new one, and the line I'm looking at is the same (i.e. "%?lh").  I'm therefore confused what was changed in this regard.

Thanks again for all your help,

Larry

UPDATE:  After a reboot, the "graphic" battery indicator was suddenely working again.  I posted about this, and when I looked back, it was once again missing.  Any idea what could be causing this "here one minute - gone the next" behavior for the graphic battery indicator?  This is the only thing I can see that is doing this.
