Hi guys.@Klaus: thank you for that un-zipper; I look forward to learning all its features!
@Sarah: I now am installing Pocket Butterflies and note that there is a minor copy-and-paste problem: it is suggesting that I need the "Pocket-Birds data folder 'PBEdata'"... easily ignored!
Mike.
Hi Sarah,
I had a look at your program list and downloaded 3 of them Birds, Flowers and Butterflies (to test the unzip for Mike).
Unfortunately there were some trouble:
- at PPCWarez in the Bird thread, all 'rapidshare.de/files....' links point to an upload window and not to a download window ?
- in the Butterflies thread there is no Data folder only an update.
- in Wildflowers there is no data folder
I looked at the Bird program, very nice !
On my htc Touch HD, when displaying the big image, it is not alighend on top, needs to be moved upwards.
When displaying a big image an clicking on the next button the single image of the same bird is displayed. Clicking once again on the next butoon nothing change any more. One must go back to either the single bird or habitat image to see the next birds.
On the WVGA screen the buttons are not at the bottom. One suggestion, move the buttons on top of the screen, then all the space below is available for the pictures.
I have the same question as Mike, where do you get all the datat from ?
I'm shure that there will be quite some users interested in the source codes too.
Best regards.
Hi KlausHow do you load the images, depending on what control you load them you can get the width and height as parameters.
Did you have a look at agraham's Jpeg library.
Best regards.
Compared to many of you guys I certainly have nothing clever to offer code-wise but maybe it might be interesting for beginners to see how we do all the file handling, sound, text display and graphics. And splash screens etc.
This is very kind Klaus. Thanks for going to the trouble for me.Hi Sarah,
Attached a small sample program showing 2 means of getting the size of images.
One with the Jpeg library and a Jpeg object.
The other one with the ImageLibEx and a BitmapEx object.
Please don't worry, it is always interesting for any user to see other source codes as inspiration. And sometimes more skilled users could also give advices.
Best regards.

Hello Sarah and Klaus, I thought that I had been diligently monitoring this forum but had missed your useful contributions. (Then lost my reply somehow.)
I got the Butterflies zip OK on second go and it now works for me.
But trees came with only a CAB file and no data so it installed OK but cannot run. I'll have a 2nd go when Sarah posts some verified links.
The butterflies seem to have no search function and no list of common names unless I know the family. So I cannot look up, for example, Speckled Wood, easily. (Choosing that one because it was the £1M answer on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" a few years ago!). Otherwise it is a useful addition to my collection of science and nature pocket databases.
Thanks to both.
Mike.
