Current build manuals

(1/3) > >>

Datman:
I've realized now  ;D that manuals are very important for the various builds, because they may contain unique informations about a function implemented in THAT build.

I have installed r29005 and modified/adjusted/optimized all. After that I have had some little problems, so I simply replaced the build with a new one:  :o many problems for wrong codecs and wrong messages and functions!

Could be the build manual put INSIDE the build in a "Manual" folder, with the build number clearly in the filename?

I think there is no solution, but do you have any hint to avoid future problems when using experimental functions? Is RSSI (%tr) only a build function or it is already a stable function in the 3.7?

In this specific case: will I have problems with my .fms if I'll install a future 3.8 o similar official release?

Thanks
Gianluca

Ooops... Another question:

Can I use a simulator some days older than the build? I don't understand why if I copy the .rockbox folder from my Fuze player (working!) to the simdisk I read (my translation from Italian language): "E:\...\simdisk\.rockbox\codecs\mpa.codec is not a valid Windows image. Verify by the installation disk."

This means you didn't install the new build entirely, usually because you're using a broken unzip program, or stopped the install midway through resulting in a mix of new and old builds.

Manual == PDF instructions that tells you what all the things in rockbox do.  Is that what you're referring to?

Datman:
Yes. I'm referring to the .pdf manual.

saratoga:
Then sure, you can put it anywhere you want.  I usually just read it online.

My idea was to distribute the manual in a specific .rockbox folder, so that downloading any build there is already the manual inside, with a name like 37r29005manual.pdf
