There are some very bothersome things about the Qt GUI that I haven't been able to fix:

1. Tooltips on every menu item
2. Menus don't refresh while the menu is open
3. When the system tray menu closes, it doesn't fire a detectable event.

testing tagging for client @JNazare

Upon attempting to launch the client on Windows, I receive the following output:

Unfortunately, following the whitelisting step suggested in the link does not seem to make the app appear either.
We could theoretically use a different GUI toolkit on Linux than other OSes, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

Maybe if we abstract out all of the logic?

Alternatively, given the limited functionality the application actually needs, we might want to just write native, non-python apps?

I'm planning to use http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html and http://pypi.python.org/pypi/appdirs/1.2.0 for this.

• mapclient.update_freq_slider_changed is broken
• mapclient.update_freq_changed doesn't convert the slider value into a usable value
• The value Settings.REFRESH_FREQ is never used to modify refresh frequency
• Labels aren't aligned with slider dividers

I just found out that the Dropbox GUI is written in wxPython, which implies that it is a lot better supported on the operating systems we want to support than I first thought. I'm going to investigate how it compares to Pyside in terms of how easy it is to do the things I couldn't get to work the way I wanted in PySide. If it is easier, we might want to switch.

When checked out, Get Wireless Strengths.exe has the execute permission disabled.

Once this is fixed, it should be moved into development, because the data structures will be much more useful than the existing ones.

When I'm trying to correct the location, it has me enter a name then click where on the map I am. After I click on the map it loads http://map.fwol.in/ui/undefined/ui/index.html , which doesn't exist.

Not sure if this is an issue or intentional, but when I click into the search bar it shows everyone until I start typing.

Windows MAC addresses are missing an element.
Example: 00:20:D8:2D:65 instead of 00:20:D8:2D:65:02

This means that Windows nearest bind search will never be able to use data generated on Mac OS X or Linux.
