[quote=Gavin][quote=FreeDOS]Should work with older iPods too, same vCard format. Any planned release of this?

Also, does it work on SeaMonkey? I don't think I'd want to spend three hours compiling Firefox just to run it :P[/quote]

Yeah, actually I just might be finishing this one. I've been working on it off and on since I posted this thread and have been making steady, albeit slow progress. File input and output is mostly done, I've just about finished the vCard 3.0 format parser, and then I just need to do a little bit of formatting nd presentation before it's usable in a practical way.

Here is a another screenshot that doesn't really reflect the progress made programming, but it's coming along. I'm doing most of my coding during my Introduction to Programming visual basic course I have to take at school.. >_>. Yeah, it's a real brain burner. So naturally I have lots of free time. Also I am happy to report that all after installing XULRunner onto Windows, all the code I worked with developing on Linux functioned perfectly without any modification with the exception of a directory string which will soon be chosen by the user. They say that XULRunner currently isn't officially released, but so far it has seemed amazingly stable and easy to work with.

And as to the SeaMonkey question: almost positively yes. Because XULRunner is in effect the same exact framework that Firefox runs off of, the code needs little to no modification... In fact, the code itself doesn't need to be changed, if anything it would be a configuration file or two or a packaging arrangement. So even saying it's "highly portable" makes the process seem too complicated. I've never looked at internally or run Seamonkey, but I'm guessing Firefox isn't too different.

So as long as I don't get any crazy curveballs, I plan on releasing this for various mozilla-based applications and SeaMonkey will be one of them. I'm just looking forware to when XULRunner will be deployed officially..

Gavin Posts: 97/181	Last night.. (or was it two nights ago?) I randomly started to create a minial Contact manager for use with my iPod nano, because that functionality seemed to be missing from gtkpod (unless I just couldn't find it). Doing a bit of investigating I found that the iPod nano uses the narrowly deployed vCard 3.0 format (RFC 2425 and RFC 2426) so I figured the operation shouldn't be too difficult. Although since I have no idea or inclination to learn gui programming for linux, I chose the standalone Mozilla framework whose languages, architecture, and general API I am already somewhat framiliar with. This screenshot doesn't show much, the application currently has all the basic technical crap worked out however. Barring getting bored and dropping the project (which is a possibility) I might even finish this one and release it :\
