[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peter-krueger@arcor.de:
so it would be nice to see the whole screen and i can choose time/name etc... first. what do you mean?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
I think what Peter is asking is for the New Appointment menu similar to how we compile a New Contact where you can pick and choose which field to update first.

However, I appreciate the complexity this would entail.... It would require a complete overhaul and change. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
I think it could be done via an additional setting.

The options would be:

1.: don't pop up any field

2.-n.: initially pop up subject (like now) or start time or ... or busy status or ...

suggestion

nice update!

i really use the calendar a lot to go to various weeks during the year. for this reason i suggest the following:

would it be possible to have the week number show somehow when you scroll in week view? perhaps similar to icontact where the letter of the alphabet appears when you scroll through the contacts list.

and also, to go to a certain week without scrolling, i.e. just by inputting the week number perhaps in dial format as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dino_Donis:
There seems to be a bug with Ver 1.4 but I think its always been there...

If you set up a recurring appointment say weekly...If you want to change just one occurrance then you are unable to change the date! i.e. click on the occurrance, then click EDIT then click on the Date...nothing happens...i have to revert back to Windows/Sense caledar to make the change.

I have an HTC HD2 with V1.66 WWE ROM.

Please fix this great app ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HTC_Clarky:
Bug is fixed. A new version (also with number 1.4.0) is ready to download.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
I can't find anywhere where it mentions either this bug fix or an update to what is v1.4.0 Final.

Can you give us links that specifically show this please. :)

The only thing I have noticed is that when I downloaded v1.4.0 Final last week that .cab file is 2,099KB and yet the latest v1.4.0 is smaller at only1,974KB.

Further, this is a lot smaller than Beta 13's 2,044KB and only 1KB larger than Beta 12's 1973KB.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dino_Donis:
Why would you not increment the version if a bug has been fixed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dino_Donis:
I can confirm that this bug has not been fixed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
Mmmmm... Not a good start.

What concerns me more though is that there is no mention of this 'unlisted' bug fix on ThumbCal's web site, it's a different size to v1.4.0 Final and as you mentioned previously, any bug fix would have some form of notation i.e v1.4.1 or v1.4.0 build ****.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HTC_Clarky:
You can read about this in ThumbCal - Forum at his website. There is a forum-theme about the beta-versions for 1.4.0. There you can read the description of the bug from other user and the answer from thumbcal-programmer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
I know about the Beta Testing section on the forum... I've been there often to check on the Beta Program.

The only reference I can find on this 'updated' bug-fix is where s.l.i. mentions the problem with the tasks and with the all day appointment has been fixed and has now left the Beta stage and is on general release.

I can't find no mention to the problem dino_Donis has with not being able to alter one date item from a recurring set of appointments..

I thought the fix altered the date span where if you have an all day appointment which covers just the single day ~ but if you edited this appointment it changes the span to cover two days.... that has rightly been fixed by s.l.i.

These two problems are not related..... Even dino_Donis confirm that this bug has not been fixed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HTC_Clarky:
Ok, sorry, I misunderstood dino_Donis problem. It´s right, this is really a bug.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
Thanks Clarky,

I was beginning to think I was going insane...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
:o:o:o Sorry for the confusion! Of course this bug will be fixed as soon as possible, by the weekend. (with an incremented version number ;) then)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
Many thanks s.l.i. Appreciated.

... and the incremented version number.... makes it easier to relate to what is happening. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HTC_Clarky:
Also many thanks in advance!

Version 1.4

Hello !

Is it just me or the lastest version only have 2 languages "english and german " ?

I can't find french any more !

Thank.

The other languages must be download on the website !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Yes, the other languages will be updated soon. Some languages are already updated by helpful ThumbCal'ers and are available on the website.

When releasing the next update all languages that are up to date will be within the installer again.

By the way, it's funny that the first four updated language files are from countries with red, white (and blue) flags :) --> http://thumbapps.com/web/pages/thumbcal/languages.php
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Update!

Version 1.4.1

- included following languages: Polish, French, Dutch, Russian

- fixed the problem with not selectable date when editing an exception of a recurrence series

- the auto start of search function can be configured with a registry value (HKLM/Software/ThumbApps/ThumbCal/SearchStartDelay -> it is a string value. With a value below 1 the search will not start automatically after typing a character. Values above 0 represent the delay in milli seconds. Sorry for not adding this parameter to the settings screen. The settings screen needs a bit clearance and will get it with an upcoming version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
Thanks s.l.i.

Appreciated...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dino_Donis:
I can confirm that recurring date edit bug is fixed...Thanks

However the Registry entry you mentioned for switching off/changing the start of search delay doesn't seem to exist! I think the path should be HKCU not HKLM??? The key SearchStartDelay isn't there by default - do we have to create it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Uuups, of course, it is HKCU instead of HKLM. It was a bit late yesterday... Thanks for pointing out that.

ThumbCal does not create the value. You need to create it manually.

As I mentioned, the settings screen will get some cleanup with categories by the next version. It seems a bit unordered at the moment.

Then this option will become editable also by the user.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] syrguy1969:
Sorry if this has been reviewed already, but I am a long time user (since it was free) but haven't upgraded in a LONG time (still on version 1.1.0). Is the reg code still the same, or do we need to purchase a new one for 1.4.1?

Fantastic app, I haven't even seen the WM calender on my phone before LOL!!!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
If you already bought a license for any version 1.x.x of ThumbCal, every update until version 2.x.x will be free. You don't need to pay again. Just install and be happy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] syrguy1969:
Cool!! Plan on it tonight, thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JueLue:
Hello!

Thank you for the new version!

I have the following problem: Everytime I call thumbcall, it starts a new task. So when pressing the thumbcall shortcut, going back to homescreen, pressing the shortcut again, thumbcall starts from the beginnin instead of just calling the running task.

I think in the older versions this did not happen.

Thumbcal 1.4.1, HTC Diamond 2

Thanks

JueLue
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
Seems to be working fine for me on an HD2 with stock ROM.

I start ThumbCal either by clicking on the shortcut or a calendar item already showing on the Home screen and the Green Logo appears launches the program which in turn then jumps to the ThumbCal window.

If I then later click on the ThumbCal shortcut again or on a Calendar appointment showing on the Home screen it automatically jumps straight to the ThumbCal application.... does not reload the program.

The only differences which to me are great is if I launch or re-click it displays one of the following:-

Click on the shortcut and it loads the Agenda view screen.

Click on an appointment stored on my Home screen and it loads the Month view screen. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JueLue:
This ist the behavior I was used to.

Don't now what happend. Every single program call leads to start an extra instance of the program now.

I will try to completely uninstall and then reinstall the program.

JueLue

Edit: I did the following:

Uninstall Thumbcal, reset, install Thumcall, reset, no success.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wolfkmann:
Love Thumbcal, just upgraded to 1.4.1!

On my phone (VX6800, stock WM 6.1) it can take 30-40 seconds to load. This gets very frustrating, when someone asks me about something for scheduling purposes, I have have to wait and wait for my calendar to open. Useful suggestions please.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roma:
Don't close ThumbCall. Just use the END key to get it out of focus. This way it's usable to you next time within the second. Don't mind about the few MB's memory it uses. Memory is there to be used ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
Agree.... I have this set to load on Start Up and it stays loaded all the time.

Much quicker and it does not interfere with anything else.... to be frank, by having it loaded means not only do you save time but avoid possible clashes or problems in closing/opening all the time. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
I open/close ThumbCal regularly and it take about 6 sec to fully load on my Fuze. It used to be loaded to Storage Card (which did take a few extra seconds) but since the new Beta's and 1.4.X, I have ThumbCal loaded in Main memory.

I only save the last 90 days of appointments to my phone and typically have about 20-25 active tasks. My pim.vol file is 2.64MB (lots of contacts). Don't know how big your file is but maybe that's why it's taking so long to load.

I would keep ThumbCal open all the time (uses about 2.4MB of system memory- maybe 2-3%) but don't want to corrupt anything should I have to soft reset because of some other freezeup.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dino_Donis:
I found another bug this time with V1.41

Here's how to reproduce it:-

Create a new appointment start date of Wed 31st Match 2010 at 19:00 then end date at Thurs 1st April 2010 at 08:00. Create a Title etc. Now if you save this without adding a category everything is well However if you add a category to it then the appointment disappears from ThumbCal!!!

If you going into another calendar app i.e. sense calendar on my HD2 then the appointment is there but not shown in Thumbcal!!!!

I have repeated this several times at it always shows up! It seems like something odd is going on when you span across months with a category assigned.....

Please take a look...Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hd2ly:
Termin disappears on 1st April ..

You are right but I think its explicable, it's a joke on 1st of April. ;-))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Actually, on my Fuze the appointment (set up exactly as you described) reappears each time I reopen ThumbCal and I can view it in Month, Week, Agenda or Day view, but if I go back into edit view it dissapears even if I don't change anything, until I close and reopen ThumbCal again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dino_Donis:
Is this bug going to be fixed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Of course! It will be fixed beside some other small changes by the end of the week, just in time for easter. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
Other small changes..... Now you have my full attention.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
Hi s.l.i, been using Thumbcal for a while and love it! Just one feature suggestion that would be really handy - is it possible to somehow import and display public holidays for any country? That's the only missing major feature imo.

Would be great if it was possible to see the public holiday calendar for say, UK, US and Australia in Thumbcal.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] momyc:
I got that through Outlook when I sync with my WinMo...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Same here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dino_Donis:
Would it be possible to include higher resolutions icons etc for the next build? On my HD2 with 800x480 screen the icons are very pixelated i.e. recurring appoinment & the ones on the editor page i.e. alarm, categories etc.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Smille123:
Hi all!

I´m using thumbcal since it´s beginning. All i miss is to autofill the categorie of the filtered view when i create an new appointment/task.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zimaia:
Hi,

Like many other users i also had tested a lot of calendar replacement for wm and ended in yours. Even if it is not so complete like others, like PI for example it is my choice and i'm overall happy.

But... because anything is perfect i miss some things in thumbcal.

- Option to completely remove taskbar (No wm or thumbcal taskbar)

- Use thumbcal as a plugin so i can integrate it in the UI software that i use. (wad2)

I don't know if other users have requested this situations because i didn't read all posts but considering the way UI's are going plugin is important.

Well, even if you will not implement this i will continue with thumbcal, that's for sure

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
While you are wailting you might want to consider Today Agenda as an alternative plugin. It's very customizable (colors-filtering) and easy to navigate. It's not 100% compatible with ThumbCal, but you can open TC from within Today Agenda.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2723505
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zimaia:
Thanks for the info :) Actually i know todayagenda but doesn't fit my needs because you can't remove the top left icon. So the way it shoes on screen it's not nice.

Let's hope for thumbcal.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aiiro:
task notes

I am a great fan of ThumbCal but one thing really bothers me and since I use the feature a lot, I would really appreciate if You could look into it cos it's kind of buggy ATM. The thing is that task notes do not correctly wrap text and the notes page is filled with empty lines (you can scroll down even if You have not entered a single character) instead of a blank page.

The other thing is, it would be really great if it would be possible to create link to files, especially to the files on Storage Card (mentioning it because of the space in the name). So far I have been unable to correctly do that (or I might just be an idiot).

Zimaia: actually there is an option to disable the left icon in TodayAgenda, I did it but I cannot remember how. It MUST be in the options somewhere cos I didn't hack anything, but I remember that it was hard to find (maybe cos of the wording of the option).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zimaia:
I find the option to hide the heather but the calendar icon still shoes in the first line creating an empty space all way in the left side of the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aiiro:
I know what You mean, I struggled with it too. Anyway, my TodayAgenda looks like this:

(so You see there is a way)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Interesting. The option is "General/Plug-in header: On/Off. When I turn it off, the entire line is hidden, including the icon. I usually leave it on cause I can't remember what day it is :confused:.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zimaia:
ok, find the issue!! :)

The anoing icon is related to enable or disable indent content on layout tab.

Turning this option off removes the icon!!

Now we are talking!! lol :):):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dino_Donis:
This thread seems to gone a bit off topic.....

I thought there was going to be an updated Thumbcal out just before Easter????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
:o Sorry for the delay. There are some more things that need to get fixed and the update will also introduce the ability to make links to local files in the notes field of an event.

But it is almost finished...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
Fantastic....thanks SLI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aiiro:
This is really FANTASTIC news!!! :)

Great!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:

Google Maps Conflict??

Whenever I set this app to be the default calendar I cannot save "contacts to address book" from Google Maps. I verified that the app is the cause by unchecking the option too use it as the default calendar and all was well. Not a deal breaker but I have to check back and forth each time I look up and want to save something from Google maps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hugocbp:
Is there a way to show tasks in task view in two lines?

There´s just too much wasted space in HD2 in taskview, but still it shows only a small parte of the tasks name...

Ive changed registry to change delta font to -8. It helped, but did not solved the problem.

I would really apreciate that, since at this moment I have to use Pocket Informant exclusively to see the full tasks list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xcln_z:
Greetings...

Is there a way for category icons to be used instead of just colored circles? This is the only thing that's stopping me from using this great app...

Tanx loads...

Hi SLI tiny problem with file links.

I use vito audio notes to record incoming calls. I tried to add a link to a calendar note and it's formated like this [storage Card\My Documents\My audio notes\Incoming\+48123456789 2010_04_12 10_34_38.mp3]

Thumbcaldoesn't open the file what's more it recognizes the bold part as a phone number and ask me if i want to call this number.Can this be fixed?

Thanks

Artur
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] papaslides:
SLI, if microsoft had people like you and Maximus Mobile working for them our windows mobile experience would be completely different. This app has changed my life and made WinMo usable for me. Thank you for the super fast turnaround on the feature request concerning the time wheel. Not sure if it was in the works already or if my request had anything to do with it, but it (new time wheel) is simply brilliant. Cheers!

Another suggestion I have (if you don't mind) is for streamlining the input process again.

When inputing a new appointment, in the subject and location fields. Rather than have an arrow that calls up your pre-set lists, what do you think about just auto-generating that list below the ok/cancel buttons? Save an entire screen.

With SPB Shell on HD2

Thanks

Been looking for a decent calendar for some time running it on my HTC HD2 with SPB shell and it works well, even got it to intergrate with the spb calendar widget, thanks again, just purchased a licence, looking forward to future updates

Does anyone know how to make direct shortcut on ACTIONSCREEN to make new appointment & new task? On previous version, this could simply be done by -new parameter. But the latest doesn't work anymore. TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cgil:
how can i download it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Do you mean like on something like Diamond Action Screen. Works fine for me.

App3 (calendar)

Param: calendar -new

Path: \windows\Action\ThumbCal.exe

Running latest version, v1.4.2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Click on the developer site link in the first post and download a trial. Even if you have never purchased a WinMo app, after a few days I think you will decide to keep this one. It's that good. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bmw2320:
I couldn't make it work. I couldn't find \windows\action\thumbcal.exe. Is this right? TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
When I first tried making this work, I could only get Action Screen to work if I loaded the EXE file for an app in the \windows folder. If I set a path to \Program Files or \Storage Card\Program Files, it would not work.

So a created a new folder in \windows\ labeled action. In that folder I load the following files;

-ThumbCal.exe

-lang.en.txt (for English language info)

-skin.Plain Black.zip (my preferred skin)

-TCLocations.txt

-TCSubjects.txt

With these loaded, pressing New Appointment or New Task, opens ThumbCal and goes directly to the new entry screen. If you don't load the skin, ThumbCal uses the default ThumbCal Black skin. And if you don't load TCLocations & TCSubjects, those options will be unpopulated (I use these a lot).

A little more work to copy/paste these files after each update, but until the recent run of new versions, it was not much of an issue.

I have used two other apps for notes (MyNote and Thumb Voice Notes) and these both work from \Program Files\----.EXE, but after multiple tries, I could never get ThumbCal to work, so this was my workaround.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bmw2320:
Thx for ur info, I'm gonna try it.

What is MyNote & Thumb Voice notes? Is this shareware? Could those be associated with Action screen to directly make new one? TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gykd1214:
thanks for ur share:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bmw2320:
Am I missing something? Cos I couldn't make it work. Btw, where is TCLocations file? Couldn't find it too
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
TCSubjects & TCLocations are templates you create in ThumbCal/Settings. If you never created any Locations (for assigning a location to an appointment) then maybe you don't have the file so don't worry about it.

This is the key where I make my changes:

HKLM\Software\HTC\BioTouch\\ActionScreen

These are the parameter lines:

App3 (calendar)

Param: calendar -new (leave alone)

Path: \windows\poutlook.exe change to \windows\Action\ThumbCal.exe

App4 (tasks)

Param: tasks -new (leave alone)

Path: \windows\poutlook.exe change to \windows\Action\ThumbCal.exe

If your running a different version of Action Screen your setup may be different. Sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
MyNote is Shareware and ThumbVoice Notes is on Marketplace. I don't use the Notes program (think it stinks) so I use these alternatives. Action Screen does not open New, but it does open the application. One more tap to create New note.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bmw2320:
Have followed your instructions without any results. In Param I have to input "calendar -new"?
