[App] Rockbox font convertor

[Kezza]

I think a GUI is worth the effort as it will make it easyer for people to use

Well there's a new version in the works... we just need to get bascule to uplaod his work - it allows for drag n drop with it prompting for filesize, as well as command line filesize entry - AND it supports as many files as you want (Or really, your PC can handle) all at once. IT looks like it ight be the final command line version, but I guess if the no-command line version is that important to you folks, it shall be done. The only problem is my main programming knowledge is in VB .NET, so the first version will be a tad bulky (Which is why i prefer the command line version) - ill prepare a couple of mockups later, so you guys can decide which you like best (And i'll hopefully have the ability to add multiple files to the queue - I ned to find how first)

So, in a summary:
- New version coming soon - likely the final version. It has all the features of the old ones, multiple file converting as well as command line use and drag 'n' drop, only problem is bascule forgot to upload it.
- GUI may be an option - I plan to make at least a VB .NET version.

sounds good, I have added a login and upload page to my site so you can upload new versions yourself

cool. i've signed up already. =D

There should be a new version soon. I finally have some time. It should alo end up a tad prettier than before. The titlebar will say "Rockbox Font Convertor" and the colours might be Rockbox colours... who knows. =D

I just need to update the help text and a tad of tidying up code and it'll be ready for mass consumption.

cool .... you will need to pm me when you upload it as I'm not to sure if I get an email when you upload it, and I have to move the file, fix the page links and pm you with the new link.

NEW VERSION!

...With a catch.

That's right, folks. There's a new version out and about. The only thing is, it's not available as a full zipped download. If you're a user of previosu versions this will be no problem as you have a tiny 4kb download ahead of you, however for first time users you'll need to get the old version and the new version now.

As for the plus side, the program now supports drag -n- drop properly, as well as the command line switches AND the help and ? arguments are all reinstated.

So if you want to download it, see the Wiki page linked in the first post on this thread.
