Dekko as click?

UKPhil

was never officially released. Just some folks picked it up off a launchpad blueprint.

Oh I see, I thought it was released. So if that is the case I just have the latest official release

Some Good News!!! Just wanted to let everyone know my interest is coming back (Canonical just landing us in the (some expletive here) really put me off for a while) .

Anyway I'm going to start working on getting the latest Dekko into the openstore for the legacy devices. It's going to take a few weeks at least to get there and it will most likely only have a subset of the current features as it is going to require a bit of a rework of the code. But you will be able to do all the basic mail management tasks.

Does anyone here have any objection to it being an unconfined app?

Once i've got some of the details ironed out I will set up a better location for discussing Dekko's features and plans going forward. As I will need as much input/ideas as possible. I don't think spamming the ubports forum is the right place for this.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This is good news!

Probably not a bad idea. For productivity apps like Dekko, confinement isn't really handy. Being able to just send files from the file-system sounds really handy

@DanChapman
First of all, thank you very much for the wonderful work you have done.
If I can express my opinion, a solution to what you ask may be insert on OpenStore two separate packages: the "old" DEKKO (I still use version 0.6.20) and the new package with limited functions.
In this way it will be possible for us to choose what App install, according to our needs.

In the recent restructuring of the project a new website has arisen, which you can find here. You will find links to the issue tracker, forum etc... so if you have any ideas, feature requests or want to get involved then head on over.

@DanChapman Wonderful !!

@DanChapman
i have a crush on.....dekko now so awesome :0)

A question for Dan,

I am using now ubport touch 15.04(r9), Dekko is v. 0.6.20

So the story started after i did flash my phone, and i had to install dekko all over again, so after i did install it again, i did choose the offline option and since then dekko keep on crashing, so i did uninstall and install again, the problem is still there.

So any chance to wipe dekko completely out and install it all over again? The uninstall option don't delete the email settings.

Regards and great to have you back working on dekko.

@bq4.5 You just need to delete the ~/.cache/dekko.dekkoproject, ~/.config/dekko.dekkoproject and ~/.local/share/dekko.dekkoproject directories to reset to default.

And thanks!

Hi Dan, thanks for the quick answer, the problem is fixed thanks.

Another question, when the next update will come? and for reporting bugs or ideas, you want us to do it here or in the new dekko website?

@DanChapman Thank you Dan for such a wonderful program! My Meizu Pro 5 is my only phone and I rely on Dekko daily for my emails. I am looking forward for the click package for version 2...

Meanwhile I installed version 0.9.4 and then I uninstalled it because it didn't help me send emails. After that I reinstalled version 0.6.20. Now I would need help with this: everytime I restart my phone I still have Dekko 0.9.4 and I have to uninstall it again and reinstall 0.6.20. How can I permanently remove 0.9.4?

Again, a big thank you!

guru

From where I can get the 0.9.x version? The Ubuntu Store on my BQ E4.5 sill running Canonicals last OTA shows only 0.6.20. Thanks.

DanChapman

@mihael uninstalling the click should be enough to remove it. You should also wipe the directories mentioned in this thread before reinstalling 0.6.x

If that doesn't work then it's possibly a bug in the click tools :-S

DanChapman

@guru that 0.9.x click has never been released, is not supported and was never suggested that it worked. I would advise not to install it as it was only created to test specific features about a year ago and was not intended for use by users. But it seems to keep going around.

mihael

@DanChapman Thank you very much for your reply, I really appreciate the time you take in developing this and then in answering questions like this. It must be a click error then.

guru

Dan,

Your Dekko app is for me one of the most used applications. I really like it and it helps me to monitor during the day in moments when I can not use my FreeBSD netbook/laptop my mails or answer them.

Said this, there is one important thing I'm missing in Dekko: A threaded view of the mails and the ability to remove a full thread on one click. I'm subscribed to a lot of technical mailing-list, esp. *@freebsd.org, openssl, gcc, ... and normally I do not read all incoming mails and decide based on the Subject: if some thread matters me or if I can help on some question/discussion. I did an analysis of my yesterday incoming mails: tech-list: 166, private-matters:3, SPAM:18, sent/bcc: 1, others:2. And most of the 166 I just deleted (by sliding right and pushing the red button). You see from where the request come of deleting full threads. I do not need this picture of the sender, I switched this avatar off (already for security reasons to not being monitored) and it just shows the letter(s) of the sender. This space of 8x8mm for me is just wasted space on the display. Maybe it could be used for threading, I don't know the API behind Dekkos UI and how much it would cost or if it is possible at all.

Having said all this (which is no critic, only a Change Request), I want to thank you for this great application and your work!
