Hi s.l.i.

I still have problems with the apointment showing in ThumbCal. They are not imported correctly.

My regional settings: "Deutsch (Deutschland)"

Unfortunately after "installing" version 0.4.2 all the display is in a wrong font. All the dates the months and so on are in a font which only shows different squares, triangles, circles and so on. If I tap on a day I see the menu with the right font. Have you changed something in the font settings, because the behaviour changed slightly from vers 0.4 to 0.4.2?

I just set my device to regional settings: "English (USA)" and tried it again:

Now the apointment are shown. The dates are still in the wrong font, but the detail view uses the right font.:confused:

huibuh_1

EDIT: I tracked the wrong font down to a font I installed a while ago while playing with rltoday. The font is called Fnt_basicShape1. Unfortunately I can not delete this font from my device anymore. I tried it directly after a soft reset, but I only got an error message that the file may be in use......I was able to rename it, but it will still appear as teh standard font in ThumbCal. I have Total commander on my device and I also looked into the registry if there is any hind for this font, but none appears. How can I delete this font (without Hard-resetting my device)?

Thanks for your help (even if it is a little o.t.)

the config file must be in *.ini extension, you can edit them on your favorite text editor like Notepad, hope will help you.

Ok friends! A new test version is available under http://www.thumbapps.com/media/ThumbCal/ThumbCal_0.4.4_test.zip .

Please give it a try especially if you have the problems with not showing appointments.

@HuiBuh_1:

Yes I made some changes to the fonts because of some people reported problems with characters too. In 0.4 I ever used Tahoma for creating my fonts. Now I let the system decide which font fits best. But I did some changes to this section in 0.4.4 too so that you could test this behavior again...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Hi Zushikidd, sorry for the late reply, MozillaxoM is correct it is called Config.ini and the line you need to edit is 'animationSpeed=8' just reduce the number and try it until you are satisfied with the speed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HuiBuh_1:
Hi s.l.i.

direct after installing vers 0.4.4 the apointments do not show up anymore (but they did in version 0.4.2). Changed regional setting to "Deutsch (Deutschland)" and after reset still nothing. changed again back to English (USA) and still no apointments.:(

The font problem seems to be resolved ( at least at my device, I finally can read the dates and the month and everything else).:D

Hi s.l.i.

I just recognized another small bug: The time in the title bar is not updated. Mine stood for 4 minutes on 13:21.

huibuh_1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Hi, thank you for testing!

Have a new test version. :o CLICK

I think it should work now (displaying appointments) on all devices with every language.

The title bar time update couldn't work properly. I didn't set the timer for it correctly. But now it is fixed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guimau31:
Everything was OK until 0.4.5 :). On my french WM5, 0.4.5 doesn't show appointments !! 0.4.4 works fine
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sushikidd:
yes, thank you both for your speedy answer..not late at all dont worry.. :)

however, i found that reducing the animationspeed (default is set to 9 in my folder) doesnt help the sideways slide a lot.. it does slow down the popup menu a lot tho... hows this possible n what can i do abt it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laronov:
Hi,

in version 0.4.2 ( when I set english settings ) I see all events in details, BUT in 0.4.5 in details mode I can see just all day events:confused:

Also in version 0.4.5 ( with Hebrew setting ) just all day event showed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sushikidd:
dunno how but i cant seem to donate through paypal somehow..:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Ohhh I become desperate... :(

I have to try and test and try and test and ...

CU
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mozillaxom:
Just my opinion:

-ThumbCal V.0.4.2: Amazing, Everything (appointment,event,etc) works fine like charm i'm current using it,there is no bug, and so faster.

-ThumbCal V.0.4.4: Everything (appointment,event,etc) works OK, but too slow

-ThumbCal V.0.4.5: Everything (appointment,event,etc) works OK, but too slow, please speed up again.

I realy like with this application, can't waiting for final release

Cheers

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pencilcase:
the app actually looks kinda good, the only question i have right now is if i sync multiple calendars would you be able to implement a feature to show only selected ones? I havent found this question answered yet, so sorry if i missed anything ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Also try reducing the formSlideSpeed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bambu456:
problem entering text...

This is a great app. Thank you for it. only problem I'm having is when I try to enter an appointment or task. The text is not showing up, instead everything comes up as a ?. Is that cause your still developing this app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
I noticed this as well but reduced the animation speed a bit more and its good again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] curious george:
Upgrade requests

Would you consider:

Up/Down slide minimize.

"Today" button

View Changer: List/Week/Month

Bug?????

When i bring up the context menu(ie new appointment etc) it actually says

"context.Today", "context. NewAppointment", etc

Thanks,

New faaaster version for testing: ThumbCal 0.4.6 test available. It should be faster then all the others before and includes some minor fixes.

If this is a stable release, for first I make an installer and declare as the official new version.

Week view will come with one of next versions.

Up/Down slide minimize: I don't know, should we setup a poll or should make it configurable...?

What do you mean with today button?

Your contect menu behavior sounds like a missing language file...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Thanks s.l.i., every version worked fine for me but faaaster is always better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SephZero:
hello, i've just tried out the 0.4.6 version and i found a bug (i think) when i open a day where i've written an appointment before..it show me it..but i can't return to the main page of the app..it seems to freeze there..

it is happened with 0.4 too
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Swipe your finger to the left and you'll get back to the main screen.

It is undocumented and I will have to make a small howto one day...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] curious george:
I am using English. It said on you download site that I didn't need an additional language file if I was using English. What do I need to do?

Today Button-A button that appears at the top of every page that immediately takes you to the current date.

If up/down; down/up; left/right; right/left slide action are customizable then great, if not I definately vote for minimize. It is not that often that I need to go back a year. You could always add a context menu button that allows to go back a year.

Speaking of that, what do you think of a context button choice that allows a person to put in a date they want to go to and then jumps them to that date?

Thanks,

Curious G
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Hi s.l.i. would you consider D-Pad navigation setup the same as your gestures?

right/left for month, up/down for year and maybe center button for close.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
If you only downloaded one of the test versions here and never installed the v0.4, you will not have any language file on your device. The test version only was an exe file. You need to install it with the cab installer downloadable on my site. (now 0.4.7). Try it.

The idea of a date input for quick jumping is good. I already thought about such an option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mozillaxom:
Thanks man, i already trying to reduced the animation speed, and now working fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JueLue:
Hello!

I like your ThumbCal very much!

One thing - I don't know whether it was mentioned before:

When you have an appointment that lasts for more than one day - for example 2 Weeks it is shown as a thin green line in the overview. I think that is a good solution.

But if you select a day in the middle of the period (by taping on it) you only get the "today/new appointment..." menue. I think in this case the screen with the appointment should open.

Another "nice to have" would be a quickjump option.

My suggestion: when tapping on the month a screen should pop up where you can a month to jump to.

But these are all minor things and I know, it is in an early stage so I say again: Very nice app., go on working...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pokey:
Unfortunately the new 0.4.7 is worse for me than 0.4. In 0.4.7 all the "large" - month haedings etc simply show up as '?' characters, in 0.4 this only happened in the 'New' function. Also 'T-Mobile' (my mobile provider) on the taskbar is showing in Greek font.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Hi, what language has your device? Do you have any additional fonts installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] queer~dude:
hi there

just wonder the newest release - ThumbCal 0.4.7 can replace the default Calendar?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laronov:
Hi,

In version 0.4.7 in detail mode I still see just "All Day" events.

Ver 0.4.2 work ok ( i see all types of events in detail mode ):(

I also get the goofy characters. I have the Segoeui Font installed on my ATT Tilt (U.S.A.) running a home cooked 6.1 ROM. Version 0.4 displays the fonts correctly.

0.4.7 works on my french WM5 but i just can see the all day appointments :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] totovideo:
Fantastic calendar

But I don't find any way to edit events? Is it a bug or a restriction?

same here, i think there is no menu "Edit", but all event working fine to me.

Hi. Just tried the new version 0.4.7 - it is working very well on my Trinity WM6.

Unfortunately the week-numbers have disappeared in this version. Is there a setting that I need to change, to get them back?

Steen

NB: The bug I described previously is gone (After canceling a new task - you couldn't scroll to a new month)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deedee:
another case of not seeing details for appointments or week numbers. Trinity WM5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sbp:
Sorry

Found out that you need to change a setting in the config.ini file in order to have week-numbers again

[config]

formSlideSpeed=0.9

useWindowsTaskBar=0

showWeekNumber=1 change 0 to 1

language=lang.en.txt

animationSpeed=8

skin=skin.thumbcalblack.ini

Excellent, excellent, app!

s.l.i.:

This is fantastic software. Keep up the good work. I've been using 0.47 on my U.S. AT&T Tilt and everything works great. Much faster than .40! Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] curious george:
@s.l.i.-When I moved from the .exe version to the .4.7 .cab version I lost the ability to see hourly appointments in the day/detail view. All I can see now are the multi day/all day events.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Curious G
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MDANavymom:
I am using 04.7 and I too can not edit appointments. Also there is an alarm symbol in new appointments but I can't get it to do anything. Have others gotten this to work? Otherwise is really working great, tweaked the speed and all is good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Matthy_47:
Hi s.l.i.

again, very good work, but I still look forward to the following improvements:

- edit mode to modify the selected entry

- in the app. listings of a day I often have more than one line per event, so the timeline is overwritten.

- I still have to wait for 3 sec. or more .till the month page moves, or going back from detail- to the month view

- in detail view different colors for the 1 day or more events would be nice.

Thanks again for your work!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
Due date / start date

I don't know if this is a bug or not:

If there is no start date on a task, but a due date, it never shows up.

Would it be possible to have all tasks show on the due date or if possible from the start date until the due date?

When the start date is different than due date, it only shows on the start date, so it's easy to forget.

Additionally is it possible to show all overdue tasks on today?

Maybe have options:

1) show tasks on due date or start date

2) show overdue on today

3) show tasks with start date different than due date on all the dates.

Another request: Would it be possible to have today be the default screen at start up - maybe with the use of a paramter for the exe file?

Otherwise I really like this great calendar!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
Hi s.l.i.,

Thank you for this fantastic piece of art!

It's something that I was looking for, desperate for my Universal.

I just want to ask you for a couple of thinks, if it is possible:

First, when we add an appointment or a task, we can write only one line, but most of the times it's not enough and it would be better if we could write in more lines.

The second is that it would be very nice if we could see (maybe as an option in the popup menu), all the undated tasks that we have, and to have the option to add a new undated task, too.

Waiting for your new release.....:eek:

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluemetalaxe:
okay, this is great, i use the friendly iphone look.

It works fast on htc touchcruise with 400mhz. scrolling needs ca. 1 second. first starting ca. 1,5 seconds :D

Sometimes i have little problemes with scrolling, because touching a day.well done. dont make everythink they want from you, because i like the fast an clean usability.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sushikidd:
hi s.l.i.,

well, following the helpful advice of the guys here ive set formslidespeed to 8 now and animationspeed to 0.5, but still changing the months and going back from day view to month view is very slow...

what are the ideal settings for these and why do they need to be tweaked in the first place?

by the way, IMHO using a finger slide for these (getting out of day view, and scrolling through months) is not the best way.. a tap would be much quicker and more comfortable..

also, any comment yet on starting from a today view and getting linked through from the device today screen to Thumbapp?

furthermore, i vote for keeping the app functions simple, more or less as it is now, and with a link to the ms pocketoutlook calendar in case more extensive or complicated info needs to be added... after all im guessing your intention for it was to be a quick n easy solution for those pressed moments that we dont have time or opportunity to whip out the stylus isnt it? ;)

this is really a great app, hope it keeps getting better.. thanks very much and great work so far! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sushikidd:
oh i found a little bug..

after adding a new task, the day for which that task was set cannot be opened... the other dates still open as normal..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mindo:
Easy little Feature Request

s.l.i.:

Have you thought about adding a confirmation dialog box for the 'delete' command? As it is right now it seems like it would be easy to accidentally delete an item without even realizing it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
looks good and now my appointments show up on my 6.1 rom. but, have one problem. when you click on on the appointments that show on the calendar, it takes you to the actual event. but, theres no way to get back out of the detail screen and back to the calendar itself. or am i missing something?

nevermind, im an idiot! read the instructions :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kcguy:
Great work

Just loaded up v 0.4.7 and what a difference! Everything seems to work now. I,ve added and deleted appointments and all are displayed as they should be. This is quite a contribution you have made, my friend! The only request that I have is the ability to use your ThumbCal as a today plugin to replace TodayAgenda. If that were also possible, it would be perfect.

I tried ver 0.4.7 and all the characters come up as a ? or an 8. I went back to 0.4.0 and still get the ? and 8's only when i try to add a new appointment. Still a great app but what can I do to fix.

I'm using a AT&T tilt
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheChampJT:
I like it, I think you should continue, it would match well with themes from other apps. Will there be other colors available?

Hi, I installed the 0.4.7 into my Kaiser and Wizard. However, I don't know why the reponse time in my Wizard is a lot faster than my Kaiser. My Wizard have wm6, but my Kaiser is wm6.1. I don't know if it is the reason why the speed is different.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pi3ch:
Installed 0.4.7 I can not see my appointment any more (I did not have problem with 0.4)! even those I created with thumbcal itself. Only my all day appointment are shown.

Also here is FARSI translation of Thumbcal (it's RIGHT-TO-LEFT Language)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dustin5:
Just downloaded 4.7...... Heres what I noticed...

* Cannot see appointment details unless they are marked for all day

* Cannot edit appointments or tasks once created

* I understand how to create skins and have already made one to match my current theme but the skin.ini file doesnt allow me to edit the color of the current day on the daybar within the calender screen..... The red does not match my theme......

Otherwise....exactly what I have been looking for.... keep working at it!

Bug, all day appointments show over two days

It would make a lot more sense if the all day indicator stopped after the last day actually containing the appointment. So for a one day, all day appointment only that day would have a marking. Currently also the next day is indicated as being booked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NiteStalker:
Very nice app

I like the look and feel of ThumbCal. Though there are 3 major issues that I hope you might be able to address;

1) Can not edit/change appointments.

2) Needs an option setting to become the default calendar. (i.e. If you touch the calendar today plugin, or the calendar softkey, thumbcal should come up).

3) If the appointment is a PM time the little green triangle should show in the bottom right of the day on the calendar.

You have done an excellent job so far, I will be keeping an eye on your progress. When it gets to the point that fills my needs, and I replace the default calendar with it, I will make the appropriate donations.

If you need more clarification on (2) above, a contact manager I have come to value has accomplished the default option, its called "Finger Friendly Friends (FFF)" and if you play wih the demo version, you will see what I meen.

Love how well this gets along with my thumb once I remembered to put it in the FTouchFlo exclusions list :)

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in here, if I have an appointment with a two line description ending at 2:00 (not sure if time matters) and another starting at 2:30 the 2:30 appointment will be drawn over the time for the appointment ending at 2:00.

Thanks again for a great calendar,

New theme

Hi guys,

This theme was designed to go with the theme I use for the rest of my plugin screens. If you want to change the color of any of the items, text, selected text, indicators etc. simply modify my colors in the skin.ini. To install, simply extract the zip, copy the thumbcalblack.ini, which is the skin file and the ThumbCalBgP.png to your ThumbCal folder. Either rename the originals, before you copy these to the folder, or let it overwrite the originals.

Also report on 1.47

On a GSM Touch, all appointments show (allday and timed)

Quicker than 1.4

Minimise works fine

Looking forward to the next release

I agree with a few of the pots here about not making it too heavy. As long as we can do 80% of the stuff the normal calendar does, that should cover most people's use.

Another FR: In the details screen, can we go ahead and back a day with a finger swipe and back to the calendar view by pressing the "minimise" area in the corner instead?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acc0101:
I am looking forward to the next release with today plugin capability
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pi3ch:
You can do it by yourself! :)

Just use an registry editor on your pda and go to:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai

open :MSCALENDAR key and edit "1" value with the exact path of Thumbcall e.g. "\Program Files\ThumbApp\ThumbCal\Thumbcal.exe"

Not your default calendar is Thumbcal!

note: You can do this work to replace all of your default applications.

Problem with fonts

As you can see from the attached image, the date is showing up with question marks. I have installed and changed the system fonts with the myriad.ttf and calibri.ttf via cab installers from xda-dev. There have been registry changes due to this.

Anyway, trying to make a long story short (yeah I know... too late), does anyone know a quick fix for this?
