System Info Specification

System Info is a Qtopia application. It displays system information about the device such as how much space is left and the software version.

Features

This application is a reporting tool and gathers system information from the device for presentation to the user. System Info provides the user with accurate information to determine if it is necessary to carry out maintenance on the device such as removing unwanted files or arranging for a firmware upgrade.

As well as the provision for selecting among the different information tabs, System Info gives the user the option of running the Clean-up Wizard enabling removal of unwanted files to recover space.

Software Information

The "Version" tab displays information about the firmware/software on the device: this includes the Qtopia name and icon accompanied by the current software version number and copyright statement. If updated Qtopia firmware is available to suit the device an upgrade may be appropriate.

System Information

After "Version" three other tabs - "Storage", "Memory" and "Data" - present information about resource usage on the device.

Storage

Clean-up Wizard

The Clean-up Wizard is invoked by clicking the button at the bottom of the "Storage" tab. Items for clean-up are broken into 3 catetories and a sequence of pages is displayed to the user depending on which categories the user selects. If any items are chosen for clean-up then the wizard will delete those items and report on recovered space.

At each page in the sequence a "Next" button is available once the page has been completed. Selecting the "Next" button displays the next page in the sequence, as listed below.

The pages in the Clean-up Wizard are:

Memory

Data

Note that if one file type is using a sufficiently large share then the other colors may not show and the bar may be all one color. For example if Free space is greater than 95% a solid purple bar will show.
