[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/pierogi/# Extras directory listing]

The latest versions can be found in the Devel repository and can be installed using the N900 Application Manager (HAM).

==Operation==
For general operating instructions please read
[http://pierogi.garage.maemo.org/ Pierogi Website]

===Filter By Device===

::'''''"Why does the filter by device, not bring up a compatible keyset"'''''
The filter by device feature is to try and utilize the compatible device data I've been slowly feeding in to Pierogi. It's going to take some time to build up a real database of what devices work with what keysets.

A list of the devices currently supported by Pierogi can be found on 
[http://wiki.maemo.org/Pierogi_Device_Compatibility_List Pierogi Device Compatibility List Wiki]

This is the data Pierogi uses to filter the keysets.

If you have a supported device, and don't see it on the list, please do go ahead and edit the Device Compatibility Wiki using the link above.

===Non-Audio/Visual Keysets===
''Non A/V information is for Pierogi pre-version 1.1.0''

At the moment there are a few keysets in Pierogi that are provided to control infra-red equipment other than Audio/Visual.
Due to the way Pierogi keysets are laid out, these buttons my have functions other than there label description.
A list of key mappings are:-

====Current Mapping of Air-Con Keysets====

'''''Samsung'''''
*"TIMER" -> Timer button
*"SLEEP" -> Sleep button
*"TEMP+" -> Volume Up button
*"TEMP-" -> Volume Down button
*"FAN" -> 1 button

*"HEAT" -> 3 button
*"FAN HIGH" -> 4 button

*"Zoom In" -> Up
*"Zoom Out" -> Down
*"Right" -> Right
*Left" -> Left
*"Snap" -> Select
*"Multi" -> Menu
*"Magnify" -> Guide
*"Display" -> DiscMenu

==Bugs==
When people find a keyset that works with their device.
I would like to know
*Do all the buttons work? 
*Are there missing buttons? 
*Are there buttons swapped around?

I'd love to hear about it when a keyset does not perform as expected.

If you have a supported device, and don't see it on the list, please do go ahead and edit the Wiki to add it!

== Requesting New Keysets ==

Pierogi's collection of keysets, while growing, is still far from complete.

If you have a device you would like to see supported by Pierogi, the easiest way to do so would be to add it to the [http://wiki.maemo.org/Pierogi_Device_Compatibility_List#New_Keyset_Requests 'New Keyset Requests' part of the Device Compatibility List].

You may also post a message containing the request on [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82243 talk.maemo.org Pierogi Thread]

=Versions/Change Log=

===1.1 (For a Few Pierogis More)===
'''1.1.24'' (Current Devel)'''''
* Added "Remote Flash" feature to Camera panel, allowing you to strobe the N900's flash LEDs in sync with the "open shutter" command to the remote camera.
* Made a first pass at keysets for Insignia.
'''1.1.23'''	
* Quick fix for an uninitialized variable causing havoc.
'''1.1.22'''
* Fixed a nasty bug causing favorite keysets to be forgotten.
* Pushed all QSettings setValue calls to the end of the program, significantly improving performance.
* Made a first pass at keysets for Comag, OpenBox, SilverCrest, and Xoro.
* Added several Sanyo projector keysets.
'''1.1.21'''	
* The favorites manager now remembers the most recent panel collection used with a given favorite. However, performance is taking a hit; may need to back this change out...
* Continuing to work on fixes for a new protocol for Strong.
* Added a keyset and panel for Sony Playstation 2/3.
'''1.1.20'''
* Just a quick update to get some keysets out of the way -- a Mitsubishi projector, several BenQ projectors, and a lot of cleanup of the Samsung TV Keysets.
'''1.1.19'''
* Made a first pass at keysets for Dune, MT-Logic, and Venturer, and significant fixes to the Epson keysets.
'''1.1.18'''
* Added an experimental keyset for Creative / Cambridge speaker systems.
'''1.1.17'''
* First attempt at a "stateful" air conditioner remote. I'm making it available for testing. The keyset is "Samsung Air Conditioner 2", and two new panels have been added to the air conditioner set.
* Fixed a protocol bug for a Strong keyset.
'''1.1.16'''
* Promoted the "power key search" up to the menu bar; this is intended to make it one of the primary mechanisms used to find a keyset.
* Made a first pass at keysets for Alpine, ILO, SagemCom, and Starhub; added new keysets to Strong and Technics.
'''1.1.15'''
* Added a new "Advanced Settings" panel, allowing control over carrier frequency and duty cycle values.
* Added a few more buttons to "input" panel, and put the "input" panel back on into the TV collection. The "adjust" panel was moved down into the Video Media collection. (I'm still trying to tweak these collections...)
* Made a first pass at keysets for Medi@link, Multichoice, and NEC, and added new keysets to ADB, LG, Mitsubishi, and Pioneer.
'''1.1.14'''
* Fixed a bug that allowed keysets to be deleted while a command was still running (causing all sorts of havoc). This might improve macro behavior.
* Made a first pass at keysets for Changhong, Frontech, and Sinotec, added a new Thomson keyset, and made a few fixes to ADB (I-Can).
'''1.1.13'''
* Found a new source of (possibly unreliable) keysets! Made a first pass at keysets for Crown Mustang, Hantarex, Keymat, Konka, and Wiwa. 
*Also added more keysets to ADB (I-Can), Sony, and Triax. Hopefully more to come...
* Made small fixes to the macros UI, and improved the cleanup of threads when Pierogi exits. Also made small fixes to a Cisco keyset and to LG timing.
'''1.1.12'''	
* Pushing up an initial implementation of Macros. For now, they don't do much, they don't work terribly well, and they are thoroughly undocumented, but at least they exist. :)
* Updates to keysets for Creative, Grundig, and RCA, and a bugfix to the RCA protocol.
'''1.1.11'''
* A handful of fixes and updates for the Power Search form 
* Some button interactions fixed (thanks sixwheeledbeast)
* Pioneer protocol sped up a bit, and an "edit keyset" button added to the panel.
* Removed the Triax testing keyset, it didn't work.
* First pass at keysets for Creative and Crown.
'''1.1.10'''
* Adding one more Triax keyset for testing. 
'''1.1.9'''
* Removing the buggy Deutche Telekom keyset/protocol!
* Added an automatic scan / pause feature to the "search for power button" panel.
'''1.1.8'''
* A first attempt at the long-asked-for "search for power button" function. Getting this in required more work on the memory management side of Pierogi, so beware of possible new subtle bugs...
* A new Camera Shutter panel has been added, for remote controls used with DSLR cameras.
* First pass at keysets for Deutsche Telekom, Emtec, Goodmans, Nikon, Olympus,and Pentax.
* Updated Canon keyset to use the new camera panel.
'''1.1.7'''
* A quick update to add a "show only favorites" button to the Select Keyset window. Hopefully this will make managing favorites easier. Also, renamed a variety of phrases to make them less misleading.
* Added a keyset and a panel for the iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner.
'''1.1.6'''
* A big change this time: the move to support true per-keyset editable config data. All favorites data has been moved into the keyset configs, and nicknames have been added. The favorites are now accessed with a pop-up menu.
* A new "audio" panel has been added.
* First pass at keysets for ADB (I-Can), Anitech, Blaupunkt, Lifetec, Medion, Sylvania, Triax, and Viewsonic.
* Many updates to existing keysets, too numerous to mention; mostly to support new audio panel buttons.
'''1.1.5'''
*The big change in this update is a move back to real tabbed windows. 
*I've finally figured out how to quickly customize the tab bar.
* First pass at keysets for Cisco, Gadmei, Loewe, Onkyo, Orion, Proview, Strong, Technisat, and Telefunken.
* New keysets added for Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, and Zenith.
'''1.1.4'''	
* Added the ability to search the keyset and device lists using the keyboard.
* Added a "default keyset" to the preferences page; so far, the only thing you can do with the default is use it for the volume control keys.

* Added a Grundig satellite receiver keyset and a Daewoo TV keyset.
* First pass at keyset for Lexuz.
'''1.1.3'''

* New window added for selecting keysets by device. "Device" filter removed from select keyset by name window.
* New Air Conditioner control panel added.
* New keysets added to Foxtel, Logitech, Sony, Western Digital.
* First pass at keysets for AOC, Arcam, Dell, Dick Smith Electronics, Dynex, Harman Kardon, Kathrein, Starsat, Viewsat.
* With the hope of extending the N900's range a bit, I'm setting all protocols to use a duty cycle of 50%, regardless of what the documentation says they should use. I hope this won't cause any problems.
* New versioning scheme -- new version name comes at the start of new work, rather than at the end.

===1.0 (A Fistful of Pierogis)===

'''1.0.0 ''(Current Extras) (Current Testing)'''''
