I have found a problem though. e.g. If I set Media on the TX to open in landscape mode, when I open up an image it reverts to portrait. If I choose slideshow, it works fine. Also, if I call up Road Lingua from within PalmBible+, again it reverts to portrait mode, even if Road Lingua itself is set to Landscape mode. If that could be fixed, I would fork out the whole £2.74 Palmgear is asking

PinCushionQueen Oxidants happen. Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Seattle Posts: 1,437	This app is great!! You've done it again, Henk! :-D I do just have one question or perhaps it is a request... Is there a way to disable the 5-way control for a specific application? The 5-way control for the DIA and rotation on the fly is AWESOME, however, I need to disable it for a game that also uses the 5-way to navigate (The Quest - also awesome). If it is not disabled, The Quest crashes when hold down the 5-way (ie: to walk forward for a longer distance during gameplay). If there is already a way to disable the 5-way DIA/Rotate control on a per app basis, then please advise as to how to do this. If not, please consider adding this ability. Thanks!! __________________ Palm TX + 2 Gb UltraII SD When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life.

yorrick Registered User Join Date: May 2002 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 855	As what PinCushionQueen said - I'd love to disable the 5 way DIA rotate control. It can get annoying when you use the 5 way buttons within application and it gets over-ridden with DisplayManager __________________ The answer is 42! If you know the answer and the question at the same time, the universe will then be swallowed up and be replaced by something even more inexplicable!

At the moment you can only disable/enable it globally. __________________ Palm OS ® certified developer PalmPDF surely the best PDF Reader for Palm OS * 2Cool4U iPhone feeling on your Palm * OperaFrontEnd new experience with Oper Mini * PhoneDisconnect never forget a missed call or SMS http://www.metaviewsoft.de

Can hide dia and rotate with dpad, with some little annoyances. M. __________________ Tungsten T3/1400mAh (R.I.P :( Tapwave Zodiac 2) + SE K750i

MetaView PalmPDF Master Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Berlin Posts: 808	Ok, I've release 1.2 which allows to set the handling of the 5-way on a per-App base. For the next update I will see if I also can set the InputArea mode (graffiti, Text, Numbers) on a per-App base. When you install the update, it will either stay registered, if you registered the old version or you will get another 7 day test. @tosbsas: Well, it works fine on my TX: DisplayManager can control the DIA and the rotation for NetFront. Unfortunately, on my T3, NetFront and Picsel just reset when I try to launch them. Don't know why.
