From f133b6890906e93d39cdc1f4a4d4609d47589196 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Sokolovsky Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 13:20:35 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] WorldMap: Clarify description. Avoid tautology, make separate paragraphs fit better. Don't go too deep in technical details (like API levels; arguably, it's still too technical, but I for example treat this app as an API usage example, if we had multiple categories, it would have "Development" atatched). Mention ability to serve as a standalone image viewer (which may come as surprise to a user - suddenly, when clicking on a photo in a file manager, popup appears with something called "WorldMap" in it). --- metadata/com.sigseg.android.worldmap.txt | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/metadata/com.sigseg.android.worldmap.txt b/metadata/com.sigseg.android.worldmap.txt index 5871fe24a6..c9fd6f0fca 100644 --- a/metadata/com.sigseg.android.worldmap.txt +++ b/metadata/com.sigseg.android.worldmap.txt @@ -9,15 +9,15 @@ Description: WorldMap is a simple Android app that displays [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Physical_Political_World_Map.jpg a map] of the world taken from Wikimedia and allows the user to scroll around on it. -The map is from wikipedia and licensed as PD-USGOV; PD-USGOV-CIA-WF - more info +The map is licensed as PD-USGOV; PD-USGOV-CIA-WF - more info [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Physical_Political_World_Map.jpg here]) -The map itself is quite large (6480,3888), so it’s way too big to fit in +The map itself is quite large (6480x3888), so it’s way too big to fit in memory all at once (over 48MB).
