Search for iOS as well. That should help some. Mike

One other odd thing I found, is that the explorer window has a "Folder Tasks" option where it has "Extract all files". Also Hmmm. Is this some sort of zip file? Mike goes travelling up the tree (probably like he should have at the beginning) and finds ... Yes, it would be something like that. Mystery solved. :sigh: Turns out it was finding it IN a zip file that was a backup of my Nokia Internet Tablet, which DOES indeed have a home/user/.FBReader directory in it. So. That mystery is solved! :-D Now I just need to figure out where the program is storing the config information when on a Windows box. Back to square one!

Thanks! I hadn't thought of that. So, I went looking. Nope. Learned some of where other apps are sticking stuff, so that's good. Weird thing is, I can't edit or drag & drop any of the files from the explorer window, but I CAN copy them (with the right-click) and then get to them. Very odd. When I search all of my drives for a 'fbreader' directory, it comes back with nothing. I thought that, maybe, there might be a Root or home or user node in the registry somewhere. No such luck. Searched for the FBReader and found where it seems it's storing some data, but not what I'm looking for. I'll keep poking at it and see what I can find. Mike

Hello everyone -- I have a multi-platform program that stores it's configuration files in the root/home/user directory (when on Linux/Mac), but I couldn't find it anywhere on Windows. So, I trust the handy-dandy search utility to find it for me and get the following directory: Root/home/user/.FBReader with the configuration files. I've been able to save a shortcut to the directory, but for the life of me, I can't figure out where the actual directory is on Windows. Anyone have any ideas of where this thing is? Thanks, Mike [edit] See my post below for complete answer -- short answer, it was in a ZIP file. [/edit]

Cool. I'll have to give it a go.

Hi Roger! One thing that my doctor suggests is to take it in with you on an appointment and have your blood pressure taken both ways and compare the results. That way you'll know (sort of) how close it is to being calibrated correctly. I keep forgetting to do that with mine. Got one coming up so, I'll try to remember to do that as well. -Mike

:-D You got me. I should read over what I write before I post.

Some cool apps are written in Python -- Mozy backup, lots of the Google apps, Eve (if I remember right -- MMORPG space multiplayer game) and others. Lots of neat libraries and such. Fun to program in. As to what it can do better than vb.net or c#, not totally sure, but that would be like asking the same of any language. The answer will depend on what you think and like of any of the languages. Check out Guido van Rossun's (creator of Python) site http://www.blogger.com/profile/12821714508588242516\[[^](http://www.blogger.com/profile/12821714508588242516 "New Window")]">Python blogs "History of Python" and Neopythonic for some interesting insights from him. -Mike

And now, after posting the above, things seem to be back to normal. :confused: Oh well. Still cool that we have a Python forum here. -Mike

Seems things are odd right now. I came in here, didn't see any posts, made the one above and then after posting, saw that there were two other posts ahead of mine. I replied to one of them (which seems to now be linked to this subject rather than the one I replied to) and now I only see this subject. Weird.

I agree. I would add that it has a LARGE library to chose from, so for many things, you don't need to write new components/libraries, but just find the one that fits. Also, from my point of view (C++ programmer) Python is just fun to code in. Not sure why, but have noted others say the same thing. -Mike

I didn't realize that we had a Python formum. :-D I'll have to start watching it, as Python is my second favorite language after C++. Later, Mike

BTW, if you need help setting up PC-Lint to do whole project analysis, let me know. It's pretty straightforward, but takes a bit of getting used to at first.

Thanks Anna. If I can convince work to buy PC-Lint (which I'd love to have access to) then I might give a yell. Out of curiousity, does Visual Lint do the same as PC-Lint? Do you need PC-Lint for Visual Lint to work? I didn't get much time to look at the website, so if it says, sorry. If it does the same thing, then I'll gun for Visual Lint, as it would help someone here in the CodeProject community. Even if it's an add-on, I'll still shoot for it. It looks like it would be quite helpful. If you don't ask, you'll never know! :-D [edit] As I was clicking away from the site, I saw the answer. Works with PC-Lint. I must be blind! Ok, so now to convince work to get PC-Lint and then work on them to get other useful tools (Visual Lint) to help later, if I can't get it all in one pass. [/edit] ResOrg looks interesting as well. I'll have to go back and look at the site and features later. Thanks for the reply and help. This is something I'm going to have to tackle fairly soon, so ... Mike

Thanks, I'll have to take a look at it.

If you've got more money than a cat deserves there are tools like Macabe and Coverity.

No, nothing like that. I'll probably have a hard time with convincing them to buy anything above $300 or so. :( What do you do though? Thanks for the link and suggestion. I'll certainly give it a look. Mike

Thanks, I'll check it out. Too bad it can't find unused resources. I wonder if any package is going to (that I might be able to convince work to buy)? Thanks again! Mike

Hi everyone! I was wondering if any of you know of decent tools that will analyze C++ code and point out unused code and/or resources. I've been tasked with finding all of the dialog resources in our application (more than 1200) and then try to figure out which of them are not being used (good possibility that a decent portion of them aren't used anymore). There is, of course, the hard way to do this, but I'm hoping that there are some sort of tools out there that would do this for me or, at least, make it less painful and tedious. Any pointers, tools, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Mike

I've got a N800 that got around Thanksgiving last year. I've really enjoyed using it. I mainly use it for a ebook reader and music player. WiFi connection for browsing is really good. I want to do some development work on it, but life has prevented me from finding time to do more than read a little on how to do that. Sometime soon, I hope. As a PIM, I've been trying OSSO that was ported to the N800 series and it's interesting. It's got a lot of what I'd like but is still missing some things. Oh well, nothings perfect. Definitely worth a look though. OS2008 works fine on mine. I've got a 4G and 8G memory cards, so don't have much worries about space. Mike

I've bought several books from Manning Press and read them on my computer. One of the reasons I like Manning is that they don't DRM the ebook. Also, if you only want the ebook, it's usually about half of the printed book. If you want both, it's the same price as the printed book (but only if you buy it through Manning). They also have (or used to, I haven't looked lately) where you could buy the ebook and then later, get the printed book for half off. Mike
