TOPIC: recompile as iPad app?

Would it be possible to configure the app so that it will use the full iPad real-estate instead of simply doing the ugly magnify? There are many ways that this code could be extended to be more useful on an iPad, but simply fixing the appearance would improve the value of the app.

Also - is there any way to do a shared source (assigned Copyright for changes/patches) with members who are willing to do development?

Hey,

I've done a trial of making the source work as an ipad app.

The result was a bit mixed. A lot of the screens didn't make sensible use of the real-estate. As you suggested, some of the screens could be modified to work a lot better with the expanded resolution.

We've done some work on the next version (being tested now) so that it behaves well in both orientations. This is also a requirement for the i-pad.

I think we'll revisit the i-pad version soon. The first version will probably be just an expanded version of the same screens and then we'll gradually update them to work well with the i-pad.

We're a while off doing shared development at this point. We'll discuss it internally when everyone is back from holiday though.

Getting some help with testing would be more practical.

Whats the consensus - you were going to look into this after the holiday. I'm willing to beta if you have a provider profile.

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this one back to my attention. Its been crazy times this year with the earthquakes and such (I'm in Christchurch).

Work has been progressing though, you might notice the latest version behaves ok in either orientation. This is part of making an ipad enabled version.

We're also well into the dropbox development as well. Once that is a little more stable we'll be looking for some testers for sure.

Done in version 2.2 just released today. See http://www.trgtd.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=156
