memory conditions can occur very ofen.
I'm never buying a 64MB PDA again...
So, I'm thinking about the restoring feature for 1.3.3 - it should not
be much complicated to do it. For the begining, I'm considering full
dialog restore. Example: If you are in URL rewriting dialog, pRSSreader
should restore 3 windows (main window, Site Properties Window and URL
rewritting window). For now, I can not say if I could go further in
restoring and my stand is that dialog restoring should be sufficient
enough for most of users.
Well the case where I notice this is reading an article then I power
the PDA off or it goes to sleep. Then a reminder wakes the device,
and the act of that closes pRSSr. So I'm only in the main window I
guess. Not sure if that answers your question.
Does anyone know if the competitiors do any session restoring? Which and
how?
Don't know.
Any further comments on session restoring? Any wishes before I start to
implement it?
We're talking about a feature that basically should be transparent.
It should "just work" and the user should not have to think about it.
