#include "pagestart.h"
<p>Users frequently ask why BitPim picks particular formats
or does particular actions on phones, especially since some
users think they are less efficient or even stupid. One
example would be using BMP as the image format for LG VX6000
phones instead of JPG which the phone appears to support.
<p>The reason is that the BitPim developers have thoroughly
investigated the actual details. Our goal is for things
to "just work". We thoroughly test our decisions and the
alternatives. This includes taking the phone beyond normal
usage limits (eg what happens if every field is filled in
for a phonebook, what happens if we preview an image in
all functionality of the phone such as wallpaper, sending
it, deleting it etc)
<p>If you think it could be done better, we would love to
know! However please make sure you thoroughly test your
suggestions against <b>all</b> the relevant functionality
of your phone, and that you do it with a wide variety
of examples. The BitPim developer code includes a test
data generator that may be help. Let us know if you
would like to work with that or need it extended.
<p>And the reason for the use of BMP instead of JPG
on the LG VX6000 is because although JPG images preview
fine, the phone doesn't set them correctly as wallpaper.
<p>It is usually preferable that you do your investigative
work using the BitPim source code. In many cases you can
just change one line of code. For example to make the LG VX6000
use jpg instead of bmp as the format, you can edit one
line near the bottom of URL(http://bitpim.org/pyxr/c/projects/bitpim/com_lgvx6000.py.html#0097,com_lgvx6000.py).
