Steve Brown: Thanks much for forwarding this on!
I grant the BitPim project and its developers full rights to
use my LG VX5300 BitPim code as they see fit.
The only reason I hadn't forwarded my hack myself is that I
am embarassed about how lame it was---I basically just
substituted 5300 for 8300 in all the strings in the source,
and it seems to work well enough. At the very least,
someone should play some games with classes and members to
avoid the code duplication.
Biggest bug I've noticed is that BitPim hangs during the
download of large numbers of "wallpapers": have to download
and delete some individually before I can batch-download the
rest. No idea whether 8300 users see the same thing, but it
sounds like not.
I'm eager to see 5300 support done properly in some future
release of BitPim---let me know how I can help!
