Now in a pub connected with my Athena so cant be online (my friends would kill me)but tell me the problem(here or by mail to herrero.daniel@gmail.com, my direct push mail) and Tomorrow I will try to fix it. Or maybe later at home. Dont worry too much about VGA dialogs because I must do some tunning in these kind of dialogs for VGA. Tomorrow I go Santander (North of Spain) for 4 days) but I will try to publish tomorrow a new version. This version will include too an option to export data to XML, so you will be able to see all the records (places, lacs, cells, schedules and actions). Later you will can change them and import again.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
icons are cutted into popups.. also with 2 lines popup the first one is ok (full size buttons) the second line is half... the buttons size is 111x111 px...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
SkizZo - I this the same app just with updated skins? Meaning I could just update the Skins Sub-Folder?

I will probably just wait for Dani's updates tomorrow as they will include the skins too plus bug fixes.

Great job guys...this is going to be an awesome product. So many cool ideas to make the phone do what it does best...automation...

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
yes, just substitute files into PDA...

For Daniel: I've made time limits buttons of 55x55 px for the qvga version... but they appears cutted.. also the cancel_32.png image isn't called (appears question.png)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok. Now travelling. Tonight or tomorrow I will take a look at this. As you know I ve to do some changes in dialog manager to leave room for the big vga buttons. Now with your vga skin I can develop and test.....:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
don't worry, just add to your list ;)... i've also noticed that sometimes the pressed state for "no change" sometimes works & sometimes not... as all buttons have problems with pressed statesl

...here are the files that occurs to relase the newest build ;)

don't replace it... doesn't change anything.. wait for the last build

...edit.. Daniel!!! today "Luna Rossa" has won over "Desafio Espanol" eheh ...do you follow Valencia regattas (sailing boats..) ?? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Today bad weather here in Santander. Downloading your zip and building....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Time dialog fixed. I Hope next post will be to publish the new version:D

4 digits cell list fixed too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
ok, so update the skin files with this one ! (pressed images WHITE, not YELLOW) and fixed some bugs on butt_place.png button.

..go to eat :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
downloading....

one thing. You forgot to include <button id="cancel_small" autolocate="no" border="no" text="no" transparent="no"> tag for dialogs whith little buttons....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I miss too cancel_32_ov.png....

lanscape view doesnt specify rgb for layout image in place button. Changed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Version V0.9.0.22(2007-04-29)

1) Cell list showed only 4 digits. Fixed.

2) Memory and speed improvements in skin engine.

3) New SkizZO skin.

4) Square, QVGA and VGA

Greetings

VGA

QVGA

SQUARE
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
Good work guy!!

Perhaps i've seen into the square screenshot that the overlay into main button is wrong... due to the cx&cy settings; also i've forget the Signal image into the background... overwrited yours .xml & fixing it :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
same for you. Skin is fantastic :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
...done... into my todo list:

- Add a background to white void parts leaved by the bar (when it's cutted).. i hope a B/N bar like the coloured, so seems that the bar loose the color :D

- include two little squares near the bars which will contains the percentage of the signal/battery

...other things you've had noticed..

in YOURS todolist (eheh requests are unlimited!):

- Font/position of the text into centered big button

- Change text from "Locked mode/Unlocked Mode" to Lock OK / Lock OFF (so the space avaiable is enough)

- Re-format the places schedule so that the place image isn't overlayed by program text areas..

- Center all the popups images.. (change also its background to blue..)

...and a question 4 you: Where appears the small cancel button?? i've seen that before, cancel32.png, was called into time limit choice.... but now appears the "big cancel button" (due to the new sizes of the limits button)... so i hope it's unnecessary if it isn't used anywhere...

and.... i hope time limits button, now, can be done better (bacause of their bigger size)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe ok,added :)

small cancell button appears in several dialogs like choosing images, choose place to lock, assign cell to place...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
ok, fixing it... but:

into QVGA its size is 32x32

into SQUARE & VGA?? (i means the images showed near this button.. so the small cancel button is the same size)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Same for three resolutions.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
SkizZO Skin v2 is ready :p

-Fixed little graphics bugs..

-changed the time limit images

-added a background to percentage bars

-added cancel_32_ov.png

-added frames for text percentages

For the last version of CommMgrPro.. close the app, delete your resolution dir under Themes\SkizZO folder & copy the new one. Overwriting is not good because if i delete/change the name to some images you'll have it unused into the dir.

Ps: Note the clock into the image :D :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Cool - now that I have the SQUARE screens working, I can see some things that I have questions about. Most notably is the ACTIONS tab. What would the ON VIBRATE box be for? And I guess I could ask the same for On AC too.

Now that the CELLID display is fixed, I should be able to handle my leaving WORK place correctly and swap bands appropriately.

Have asked about this feature yet? Call forwarding. I would love to through this device into CALL FORWARDING when my work place is encountered(or by timeframe to turn off)..more so by triggering the place event.

Thanks.

Some more suggestions:

7) In the new skinz, there is not more hospital zone icon. Just a little man with a needle. I miss it as I work in several hospitals.

8) The progrma freezes when trying to change an icon for a profile. Once you have selected you new icon, it will not let you back to the main CommMgrPro control panel. Cancel, save, and ok do nothing... I have to kill the CommMgrPro process andf then restart the program.

8) EDIT Well it does not do it anymore... but it did do it.

Thanks,

Ron
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
The hospital icon is still there...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
NIce SkizZO. Downloading now. Today I come back home so work in cmp continues.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

On vibrate: If you select this option then device will vibrate when entering in that place/schedule.

On AC Max Power. If you select this option then when the device is plugged in AC then:

bluetooth goes on

wifi goes on

band switch to 3G

speaker ON...

Very soon user will be able to select actions individually when plugged AC.

Call forwarding will be implemented very soon. I ve been developing skin engine for three weeks but It is almost finished :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Did you get the error again?. My main pourpose is to find bugs and fix errors....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lokmeup:
Unfortunately no. It did not give an error code. It just refused to go back to the main screen. I thought that my info might not be of any use without one. Sorry.

but when it does throw one what info do you need? all of the dispayed info?

Ron
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lokmeup:
it is doing it right now. it won't get out of the edit place window. no error code, it just won't go back to the main screen with ok, cancel, or save.

If you want me to do something let me know. I will try not kill the process, incase you want me to do something.

Ron
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Dont worry. It seems the dialog lost the focus and you cant go back. I can fix adding a close button. This isnt a crash or hang but logical error where popup dialog looses focus so you cant close it...

Thanks :)

ps: If you know how to repeat the situation please tell me. If I can repeat the issue in my test devices then I will fix the problem quickly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Not sure if this has been asked either...But are there any plans to create a Today Skin for some of the CMP info? CELLID, Profile(Place), Signal, etc???? It would also be easier for one hand operation to be able to go to CMP. With the tiny "TASKBAR" icon, it can be quite tedious.

An oddity of the Palm 750 is that the power key depress basically backs you out of the application to the Today screen and the second press actually kills the power(StandBy). This prevents me from simply powering down from CMP and have CMP visibile when coming out of StandBy.

Thanks.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Sure. The first version of today plugin was done weeks ago but was disabled because some user noticed some problem. These users installed too pocket plus so I dont know if really there is a problem with the plugin. Anyway, with skin engine almost finished now I have time to take this feature again. I want to allow the user to select which items need in the plugin. By now all are showed.

Dani

PS: In my case I ve remapped standard classical CommMgr button to CMP so pressing that hardware button then CMP appears...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
...however profile switching based on a Location into a determined time frame doesn't work for me...

At the university i've add a time frame from 8.30 to 13.30 with "vibrate" mode.. but at 8.31 CMP still show "university-default" and not "University-Lesson"...

No way to change the profile... also if at 8.31 i close & re-open CMP, it always sets to university-default.

I am beginning to think that there are errors in my database... (all ok with errors check)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
In that case the are a problem in your database, sure. Now I ve to go out but can you send me your database? I will look for a problem in it. Very soon will be ready the utilities for export/import to/from XML so you will be able to see/edit all the data. (places, lacs, cells, schedules, actions....).

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
University place is "mezzocannone"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Interesting...My plans are to create a TIMEFRAME just like this for work. I need an EXTRA action to take place between certain hours whilst I am at work. Same scenerio as yours above. I will play through this scenerio just to see what I get. I may be a bug(feature)!:D

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
I may be a bug(feature)! ... cosa significa??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I dont know. :)

SkizZO did you send it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well It should work. I ve defined several timeframes for the same place. For example, at home I ve defined two timeframes: Day and Night. At night schedule volume is mute, connections are disabled and bluetooth is OFF. But at day schedule all is ON and I ve set to play a mp3 file so I use it like alarm....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well. It seems no errors. Simply It isnt configured as you want. I ve dumped your database (It is possible using the debug tool of www.commmgrpro.com) but simply take a look at this:

So that timeframe is created for mezzocannone.

Buuut, there is bug. When there is 24 hours timeframe created you SHOULDT be able to create a timeframe inside. First you should decrease the default timeframe. Because of it you always will be in default schedule. Now fixing....

By now it works if you define, for example, two timeframes in this way

When I do the fix then cmp wont let you define the timeschedule if you dont reduce "default schedule" before...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Would it be too much to ask for CMP to do the math...for instance, if I have a 24hour default and then I add a 5 hour timeframe in the "middle", can CMP split the other into frame A= 0hr to (middle -1) and B = (middle + 1) to 24hr. Sorry - the programmer/analyst came out in me.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe. Yes. It was the initial idea and finally I will try it but It isnt simple. If there are several timeframes then It can be complicated because one timeframe may be divided in two and It introduces much complexity. I suppose then actions should be copied to the new secods schedule....

In a few minutes version 23 will be out. Its identical to 22 but It checks the periods doesnt intersect. In fact V22 does too, but default 24 hour frame is an special case and CMP thinks there isnt intersection....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
Sorry, i hope i've wasted your time... The configuration is well, the (second) university place is OrtoBotanico... i've verified the "malfunction" this morning on that location... (not mezzocannone)

However tomorrow i will go to mezzocannone (second university place)... now i'll set a time frame and tomorrow i will see...

today in the morning, into ortobotanico location, the "Lesson" time isn't switched at 8.31 AM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Fixed. Uploading new version now
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Version V0.9.0.23(2007-05-02) out.

1)Fixed a schedule problem. Now if you try to enter a new time frame and It intersects with other then CMP doesnt allow it.

Please if you have set more than one time frame (with previous version) and one of theme covers all day (from 00:00 to 00:00) then edit it and reduce it to leave room for the other.

For example. If there is one default (00:00 - 00:00) and other (10:00 to 12:00) modify default to (12:00 to 10:00). In this way default schedule covers 24 hourse minus 10:00 to 12:00.

So if you created new time schedules for same place (other than default) please edit default schedule to leave room. Remember that time schedules shoulnt intersect.

For example, If you have a default time 24 h frame(from 00:00 to 00:00) and you need to create other time schedule (from 20:00 to 22:00) then edit default time frame and change times to (from 22:00 to 20:00). So finally you get:

update glitch

1. When I press check for updates from menu soft key with no connection available program gets caught in a loop and hangs device.

2. In v22, it told me there was an update avail (yesterday). I did not even look at the version before pressing update/install, and it installed v 21.

3. Check for update does not seem to be working in v 21. I hope it did not carry through into v23. I will manually dl

4. PIE cannot dl your cabs, it presents them as text. Is there a setting I can change, or a setting on your website to see them differently so that pie will dl rather than open? I remember reading something about that somewhere...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
well when uploaded 22 I didnt update version number in server. Now It is set to 23. Anyway I ve to change the process because now there are 3 versions (qvga,vga...). Rigth now It doest work in your device? Just tested here and worked.

Download cab using Pocket Internet explorer is posible using opera. Because of a strange reason PIE treats cabs as html and tries to open them. Here cmp isnt related because they are hosted in a USA hosting web server(www.register.com).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I certainly understand...the complexity could be quite great if you are having to deal with numerous timeframes.

Now on to my next thing that I notice. Being that I use the SQUARE skin with my 750, I noticed that the skin does NOT show the power level or signal strength anylonger. It appears there is room to show the appropriate value below the graphic. With the Palm Device, the battery is more precise than my Cingular 8525 which rounded to nearest 10 percent.

Thanks.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
On editing Timeframes, I also noticed I could not add a timeframe with in the default 24hr frame and then delete the 24 hour. CMP kept deleting my recently added frame. I had to edit the existing one and then add the new one which is what I wanted to do anyways. Just found it odd that I couldn't delete the default though.

--Mickey

Note: Disregard. I was apparently posting(or lack there of) when you explained what I was commenting on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mthomas:
update glitch

sorry double post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Your are right. The same thing for qvga and vga. SkizZO left a empty square that I ve to fill with the number :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well. By now I ve added the most common situation. This is: when you want to create a new time frame that is completly inside other time frame (for example, default 24 hour). In this case the existing time frame is splitted in two frames (optionally) copying the actions and leaving room for the new time frame. This is the sequence:

This feature is finished but I will wait to finish import/export xml to create a new version (V0.9.0.24).

Fixed too a problem when trying to delete two time frame consecutives....

Dani

ps: Finally I ve upgraded cabs installer with this update, keeping version number (23). I think It is a usefull feature and I dont know when will be ready import/export xml feature....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Weird things today....I was not able to run my ActiveSync on Work XP Laptop today. So naturally I upgraded the AS to the latest version as I had passed up the last two releases. Still wouldn't connect and each time AS on the Palm 750 would lock up. I rebooted each time to be sure. Well I started stopping some things that were running and after I stopped CMP, the thing would start synching. Not sure why that would be.

What is even weirder, I noticed that CMP had started itself twice today after I had EXITed it.

Maybe I am losing my marbles or something. I will have to retry tomorrow when I have more time but I just thought this was really strange.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
first issue is really strange,sure. please report if you can repeat it because cmp doesnt manage actyvesync connections.

Second thing isnt strange if there is a time notification to execute. for exaMple:

1)if you are inside a schedule (windows will notify cmp on end time) and close cmp

2) you have done something (bt on....) with time limit and cllose cmp.

In these cases windows notifies cmp about the end event and if cmp isnt launched then windows starts it. Its he standard behaviour in windows time notifications. maybe intereresting to disdabled it?.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Any idea when you might re-implement the Today Skin?

Well that makes sense about CMP restarting. Perhaps I am not losing it.

As far as the synch issue, I will report back on my findings. I am going to go try on my Vista laptop in a few.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
tomorrow send me a email and I will send you a semi official version of pluggin (testing it these days). maybe you would like to help me :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Will do...Another interesting thing is that once my 750 sits for a while(sleeping), I can come back and turn on. The ICON on my today screen no longer will bring up CMP. When I go and try to restart CMP(knowing no other way to get back to CMP), I just locked up.

Which by the way my VISTA laptop wouldn't synch so I rebooted and stopped CMP. I was able to synch. Then I restarted CMP and was still able to synch. But then I waited...going back to the above paragraph on the not being able to bring up CMP.

Something is hokey. I may go back to the previous version to see if I can recreate over there.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well. If you kill CMP process then CMP hasnt time to remove tray icon and It stays there until soft reset. If you start cmp again you will see a second tray icon and that works. Programs are have the responsabilitity to put AND remove their tray icons....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
SkizZO I ve added in skin.xml the possibility to set coordenates for texts in place button.

<!-- Place button (Big centered button)-->

..........

and I ve modified the layouts to support it (specially square and vga):

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Last night I left CMP disabled(EXITED and it stayed that way at least until I retired for the evening) and my problems went away. I still haven't re-installed the previous version of CMP so I don't know if my problem started occuring with the current version or what. I will probably do that today to help isolate if it is indeed with the latest features.

Wish I had a utility to see oif the processor is being starved which might indicate that the a process is consuming all resources. I don't have a lot running, especially with so many re-boots so this seems like a reasonable thought.

Will let you know as to what I find if relevant.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
There is a very usefull called TaskManager. Its free and shows cpu % per process. CMP is almost always at 0%. MIckey, latest version only has a modification in schedules management and Its very unlikely the source of your sync problems with vista.... Always that I had problem trying to sync with vista (with my job device, no cmp installed) was because of DHCP server windows (in Pc, not pda). So I suggest you keep latest version. Maybe ConnectionManager.exe in the device had a problem. If you cant sync, then exits cmp and then you can sync please tell my because that would be very strange :eek:

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Version V0.9.0.24(2007-05-04)

1) Improvements in skin engine.

2) When the user disable connections now can enable them again using panel control. (before had to go settings)

When the user disabled the connections in main pannel then had to go to settings to enable them again. Now can be enabled selecting "Connection On" or "Connections off" button....
