Hello everyone,

Here is another fabulous Qt + QtQuick project, Dukto. It allows fast WiFi file transfer to any other device that is running Dukto. Playbook joins a growing list of platforms that support Dukto including Windows, Linux, Mac, Symbian and Meego.
While the portrait orientation and Metro styling may not suit the Playbook, it is consistent with its representation on other platforms. I hope you all enjoy it.

It has been submitted to App World and you’ll likely see it available soon.
For now, you can side-load it. Download

Dingleberry 3.0 has been released for Mac/Windows.

Well today was a progressive one.

There were some bugs in the N9 version that required UI changes. I have moved the tiles off the edge so it doesn’t interfere with swiping. While I am able to prevent swiping, I felt it was better to keep the N9′s natural gestures. As on other platforms, there is still an exit button in the top corner should you prefer it.

Another glitch in the N9 version was with the vibrate function. Apparently this does not work with QtQuick yet, so it will have to wait.

After my bug fixing spree, I submitted the latest version to the Nokia Store for Harmattan and to the App World for BBX (Playbook).

I hope you enjoy the game.

As always, if you have an issue on your platform, feel free to comment on here or email me to quickly resolve the issue. I check these every day and have plenty of free time to fix what ails you.

Playbook Connect

What is this?
This app is to aid developers and interested users get easy access to their Playbook via SSH.

The app is entirely standalone and does not require Java or the Playbook SDK installed to enable SSH.

It is written in Qt and is able to run on: Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, BSD, QNX, Symbian, Android and iOS.

How does it work?
1. Simply extract the provided package anywhere on your system. Then run ‘Connect’.
2. Then enter your Playbook’s IP and password in the fields provided. It will remember these for you.
3. Now press ‘Connect’ and it will run an SSH server on your Playbook for you.
4. Now press ‘SSH Terminal’ and it will open up an SSH connection to your Playbook.

That’s it. I have made it as simple as possible in this initial client.

Where can I get it?
I am providing Windows and Symbian binaries only at this stage. If you want this to run on your phone or another OS, simply request it here and I will provide it if there is interest. Some things need to be changed (such as SSH client) on other platforms.

PlaybookConnect v0.1 (Windows) [9.2MB]
