Fork of the Unit Converter application for Sailfish OS.

This application allows user to convert values from one unit type to another.

Supported unit categories:
Acceleration, angle, area, currency, data storage, data transfer, density, energy and work, flow, force, frequency, fuel consumption, length, magnetic field strength, magnetic flux density, mass, numbers, power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, torque and volume. Additional ruler.

Translations are only partial because values are used as reference in the code.

How do I display the ruler in inches instead of cm?

I didn't know Belgium switched to Imperial units :-)

But there is an option for that now in the Options menu.

Thanks for the app. Working good. Currencies update without problems. I am using it on an Xperia X10plus and the ruler measures 1cm what is really less than 6mm (in both directions). A calibration option would make it good for all devices. Also, the ticks on the long side do not reach the far edge, and their numbering stops even earlier. Another problem is that the ruler's yellow background disappears with focus and to make it reappear one has to go back to the main page and reselect ruler on the pulley menu. But all in all, great app, thanks for it!

I know about the background disappearing when the app loses focus. It looks like some weird SailfishOS bug to me, I can't explain it right now.
The ruler scaling was very hacky, making guesses about the PPI based on the resolution. But I just found out how to get the dots per inch on a device, so the scaling should be okay now on all devices running SailfishOS, no matter the size or PPI.

Yes, scaling is perfect now! A very big thank you!

Great app nevertheless!

Like I said, it work fine on my Jolla 1, Xperia X, Xperia XA2 and Jolla Tablet.

But for some reason, it does not work for everyone, see also https://github.com/a-dekker/Unit-Converter/issues/11

I have not been able to find the cause of why it does not work for some people.

OK, I guess I lack a required certificate (only 3 Entrust TLS instead of 4). No idea how to get the missing one as openrepos-certificatemanager is deprecated. (Xperia X & Jolla 1)

The second answer (Another less destructive...) fixes this and 2miich (Finnish ice hockey league from the Store). For me one of five Sailfish phones had the problem.

On my Jolla the RPM was downloaded to /home/.zypp-cache/... and the current version is 2018.2.24

It seems you have Chinese language issues with a lot of apps.

Try selecting a different variation of Chinese in the settings menu, and see if it helps.

Great app that comes in useful on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the currency converter has stopped working. When I put in an amount, "nan" shows up in the other currency values.

Yes, confirmed. Will look at it this weekend.

On Jolla C the scale of the ruler is distorted. The lines are nowhere near real mm because of the physical screen size (probably). The Jolla C screen is 110x62 mm.

Please, make it easier to change the value in the Favourites. It could function like the regular conversion screens without a special "Edit" command.

The ruler is only fitted for Jolla 1 and Xperia screen sizes. For the tablet it's already harder because of a different screen ratio. I will have another look at it.
But no plans to work on the favourites part at the moment.

Could someone tell (give a relevant tutorial link) how to translate this app? I can make a Russian translation.

As mentioned in the description: "Translations are only partial because values are used as reference in the code.".
Maybe it could be made fully translatable, but that would require more that a little rework.
For now it is partially translated to Dutch and French. You could download https://github.com/a-dekker/Unit-Converter/blob/master/translations/harb... and open it in Qt Linguist 5. Then you can choose your destination language and translate the translatable strings.
