Panoramas

Microsoft ICE is an excellent tool for panoramas:





Give it a try. The quality is much better than most smartphone panorama apps, since it is stitched in full resolution. Simply make some pictures and add them to Microsoft ICE on your PC. Everything is done automatically, with only a few artifacts, depending on your pictures.

It also works great with games:

Blackberry Webworks Error

So I tried getting a Blackberry Webworks application for a playbook to package my html5 app and always got this error:


out: Error loading: C:\Program Files (x86)\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWork
s SDK for TabletOS 2.2.0.5\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll

out: [INFO]                     Packaging the bar file

error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Temp\widget
Gen.5953573461355327252589.tmp\particleClock.swf (Das System kann die angegebene
 Datei nicht finden)

error:  at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at net.rim.tumbler.file.FileManager.copyFile(FileManager.java:481)
        at net.rim.tumbler.airpackager.AirPackager.run(AirPackager.java:232)
        at net.rim.tumbler.WidgetPackager.go(WidgetPackager.java:152)
        at net.rim.tumbler.WidgetPackager.main(WidgetPackager.java:77)

out: [ERROR]                    Air Packager exception occurred

On the BB support forum I read that it is a problem with the msvcr71.dll. Some suggests putting it in the System32 folder, or even place the whole BB bbwp folder there.
Since nothing of this worked I found a solution:

Open the bbwp.properties found in "[C:\Program Files (x86)\Research In Motion]\BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for TabletOS 2.2.0.5\bbwp\bin", or where ever you installed it, and change the Java tag to your JRE:


For example:
<java>C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7</java>

While you are at it, you can also set the path to your debug token.

For example:
<debug_token>C:\Users\Patrick\Local Settings\Application Data\Research In Motion\debugtoken.bar</debug_token>

I hope this information helps someone someday.
Mfg Pat
