[haiku-development] Re: Remembering window positions (pulkomandy)
For the rest of the windows in the system should I go through each
one-by-one and solve the problem this way, or is there a better way
that we could handle this in a common place like app_server?
If I do one by one this way I'll create a bunch of settings files in
home/config just for storing window positions... this seems less than
elegant to me. I'm hoping for a more thoughtful solution to this
problem.

[haiku-development] Re: Bluetooth and HID (Oliver Ruiz Dorantes)
Hello,
2013/3/16 X512 danger_mail@xxxxxxx
So it will be nice to have Bluetooth support. Any progress had been made
in this subject? Is it so hard to implement it myself? Unfortunately I
don't understand Bluetooth stack architecture and it's Haiku
implementation, so I don't know what to do. As I understand it's required
to redirect byte stream from Bluetooth (how to get it?) to HID driver.
Currently HID driver is hard-coded to USB and make it more general can

It's probably best to contact its developer Oliver Ruiz Dorantes
directly. AFAIK he's the only one with enough knowledge about Bluetooth,
and Haiku's implementation.

Thank you, Rene!
You are right. It was hardcoded in /etc/hosts. Sorry for the stupid question!
And thanks very much!!

Most applications already have a settings file, and it's usually not a
problem to add to that.
Another issue is that it doesn't make sense for many windows to store

This is essentially session management, which I believe Clemens has

the hard way, we should consider if some sort of partial and simple

[haiku-development] Remembering window positions (John Scipione)
Hi Haiku developers,
Something that irks me about Haiku is that, excluding a few instances
such as Tracker windows, when you close a window and reopen it, Haiku
doesn't remember the previous window position and so the application
centers the window on screen or puts it in the upper left hand corner
of the screen somewhere.
For Deskbar prefs I have gotten around this by stuffing the window
position into a BMessage and saving it to a file in the home/config

[haiku-development] Re: Aw: Re: hrev45320: Yet another non-obvious effect of -ftree-vrp optimization (Joseph Prostko)
I'm not particularly responding to any part of this conversation in
general, but wanted to thank everyone, like Pawel, for exploring this.
I also just noticed that the GCC 4.9 branch is in effect as of today,
so maybe I'll start looking at targeting GCC 4.8.0 for Haiku instead
of GCC 4.7.2. There are some dependency bugs that were afflicting us
(that I think are fixed in the 4.8 branch), so maybe that can be
leveraged to get our GCC up to date compared to 4.6.3. I'm not sure
if issues affecting ftree-vrp are addressed in a satisfactory way in
the 4.8 branch without looking further, but it's possible, I suppose.

[haiku-development] Bluetooth and HID (X512)
I have x86 based Acer W500 tablet PC and try to use Haiku on it. One of
most important problem is impossibility of using Bluetooth keyboard.
Without keyboard it's hard to do something useful. Onscreen keyboard is
also missing. Keymap preflet can be used as onscreen keyboard, but it
can input only to specific field. To input in another window it's
required to drag buttons to that window (that's very funny but not so
useful) or copy-paste text from sample input field.
So it will be nice to have Bluetooth support. Any progress had been made
