Two hints:
- I made some new screenshots to reflect the new theme (I sent them on
wednesday to you by mail), can you please upload them too? Screenshots
are probably very important to attract new users. Thus, we should not
use outdated pictures there... --> http://ankidroid.googlecode.com/files/market-screenshots.tar.gz
- the english market description still contains some old parts which
are probably superfluous (first three lines). Maybe we should drop
them?

Cheers!

Norbert

Thanks Norbert!
I just updated the screenshots. I have left one from Wisam because it
has an attractive image, and sound.

I am checking the market on my phone right now can can't find the
first 3 lines you are talking about... it just says "Memorize anything
with AnkiDroid! AnkiDroid lets you ..." just like in
marketdescription.txt
Which are those 3 lines?

Cheers!
Nicolas Raoul

for me, it shows:

The first two lines are old lines. Strange, that they do not appear
for you...

The first two lines are the "Promo Text", limited to 80 characters.
Searching the Internet does not give a very clear answer what is a
good promo text... how should we use it?

So this appears on the search result page, right? Can it be localised?
Strange, that it's only shown in the english version.

It appears on the website, for all languages I tried (en,ja,fr) but
not on my phone's Market app.
It can be localized, just like title, description, changes.

Today, my friends, is a great day! I will raise my cup to you all
this evening :-)

BTW, how many of you have suspicions that Norbert is a machine or at
least a bunch of coders under one alias? The amount of work he has
put into this release is simply stunning. Thank you, nobnago!

@Trurlo: thanks for the flowers... I'm glad, you like the new
features...

@Nicolas: in German, there is no promo text. Instead, the beginning of
the normal description is shown. Problably, if there is no promo text,
the first lines of the normal description are used? If yes, we could
just drop the promo text, the first description lines suit very
well...

"hide AnkiDroid folder from Android's media scanner"

How to do that? I don;t see it in AnkiDroid.

You don't have to do anything. AnkiDroid creates a ".nomedia" file in
the deck folder if it is not there. This file tells the Android media
scanner to skip this folder.
