Hi,
how to get icon with an Python application (3rd)?
I can, with ensymble, create a working sis-file.
The tool has option for icon creation, don't work
for me.
If I use some tool as "Inkscape" to creare an icon
svg- file, no success. I tried to use also svg2svgt- tool
no success, even Inkscape understands my effort
and tells correct file created.

How to get it to work?
(is it 64x64?)

An other question about 3rd py2sis current status.
To my understanding somebody tells it works but
again: I have problems. It creates always 2nd- style
pkg- file to py2sis/temp folder.

Any step by step guide available?
Do I need a mif-file then? How to create it if I have svg-file?
Why I ask about that, even ensymble works fine, is
that ensymble cannot put pyc, pyd files to RESOURES yet.


Thanks

Hi big_pig

I don't have solution for your icon issue since I haven't been through that yet.

About the 3rd edition py2sis: do you have both 2nd and 3rd edition installed on the same machine? I've had some similar problems and the solution was that the 2nd edition devices was by default when I tried to make a sis for 3rd edition.

So if it is the case just check which device is the default one in the command prompt:

...\>devices
S60_2nd_FP2:com.nokia.Series60 - default
S60_3rd_MR:com.nokia.s60

And then set the proper one

...\>devices -setdefault @S60_3rd_MR:com.nokia.s60
...\>devices
S60_2nd_FP2:com.nokia.Series60
S60_3rd_MR:com.nokia.s60 - default

That could solve your problem.

Then try again the py2sis.

Please, need help on svg conversion

About SVG icons: SVG files from Inkscape do not normally have the "viewBox"-attribute, causing icon rendering to fail. See this Forum Nokia Technical Library page (KIS000398) for details:

http://www.forum.nokia.com/document/..._attribute.htm

Also, current 3rd Edition phones cache icons and do not re-render them, even if an application is removed and reinstalled. The only way to see the new icon take effect is to restart the phone.

Using SVG2SVGT is not strictly necessary, although it does make the icon files smaller. I've succesfully taken SVG files from http://www.openclipart.org and used them as icons, without running them through SVG2SVGT. Converting SVG (or SVG-T) files into MIFs is done using the mifconv.exe tool from S60 3rd Edition SDK. Ensymble, however, uses SVGs (or SVG-Ts) directly, and converts them to MIFs internally.

Sweet cycke64!

Very nice, I saw once a screen shot of that application but I didn't have to to check what it was about and after I just forgot all about it

Big thanks! I was freaking out using other apps SVG icons for testing how to use ensymble, and my application always kept the default Python icon.. Something so simple as reboot.. Heh Thanks once again

What are the requirements on the SVG file to be displayed correctly in the phone?
I've been trying a few SVGs I find online but none worked, except the ones I find in public SVNs for other symbian apps..
Are there some characteristics I should check on the SVG before packing it? Because this trial and error takes quite some time, needing to reboot the phone (damn slow E65)

Check for the viewBox attribute, as explained above.

The link doesn't work for me.

Here is a working link
