i agree with miljbee ! :)

please keep putting performance before cosmetics, and also leave the more extensive or complex options to the standard app or other 3rd party apps, that can then be accessed through your lightweight and hopefully quick but most of all very finger friendly thumbcal... :)

all that most of us need is to be able to quikly and smoothly enter the main things about an appointment or task, with 1 thumb.

n i am open to corrections on this, but if you ask me the only things really necessary for that are:

the title, start and end dates, time/ all day indicators, alarm, and for tasks the completed checkbox. and possibly a recurrance option.

this should be quick to enter or edit, and on top of that a clear day/week/month overview is all thats needed. i think you have this covered now, and it looks great already!

my only wishes before i can make this my default agenda app (and finally give u a small token of my appreciation for your work and skill) are to speed up the scrolling, be able to open in day view, and to have a built in OPTION to replace the default today plug in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JamesAllen:
Keep It Clean and Simple

I have been using this since the earliest releases and find it very useful. I no longer use the built in calendar feature. I would strongly suggest a week view. As far as a Today Plugin goes, I gave up on the Today Home long ago in favor of Throttle Launcher. I have your icon on the Today Screen within the TL Today Plugin and that's all I need. Can't wait for your next release and a contribution will be forthcoming, I am sure.

Reminder Bug

I have a problem where if I have an appointment on the 1st of the month and I want to set a reminder a day ahead, it will not allow me to select the day in the previous month to set the reminder. Has anyone else seen this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.incredible:
Keep it simple

I agree with the last few post here. It's a great app. I use it quite well the way it is. If I want to add detail to an appointment or task I can easily select open in outlook. A couple things I would like to see...

-Week view with defautl to week view in settings.

-A "Now" button in both the start and stop time fields.

I'm looking forward to your next version(s) keep up the excellent work.

Ripping part of ThumbCal

Hi

I am using Thumbcal as my calendar and it's very good, but Sometime I just want to write a memo with reminder and the part of new appointment from ThumbCal is just perfect for this mission, so I was wondering if there is a way to rip the part of new appointment out of ThumbCal?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Hi, sorry for late answering. I'm a bit busy at the moment. But I am still working on ThumbCal, so don't be afraid.

To the "ripping" of the new appointment part: I am working on implementation of command line parameters. So in next release you will be able to start ThumbCal directly in "new appointment" mode, "new task" mode and so on...

I want to make it as compatible as possible to PocketOutlook. see here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...nOutlookMobileCommandLineLaunchParameters.asp

(e.g.: "ThumbCal.exe -new" launches ThumbCal in the new appointment form)

I just stopped using Thumbcal, since it happened to often that I delete an appointment by mistake. Also for recurring appointments it deletes the whole series without asking, not nice!

Please modify it such that it does ask for confirmation when deleting an appointment.

Hi S.l.i

One more small request - in outlook when you start new appointment the reminder is automatically set to 15 minutes.

It would be nice to have automatically reminder in ThumbCal too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daze81:
in version 0.5.1 there is something like that. in detail view you can open outlook by clicking on a appointment or task "open in outlook". ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zenoran:
wow just found this thread... very cool...

ack 12 pages... I'm wondering though, is there a way to have this integrate fully into wm??? it seems this is a cool stand-alone app but if you're launching anything from today screen and/or from sbp mobile shell it always goes into the pocket outlook calendar... is there a way to have it launch this instead?

sorry if it's posted somewhere in the mess of 12 pages...

In the next version of thumbcal can we have an option to filter appts on the calander in the same way as the MS calander does?

Great bit of software just what ive been looking for!

Great piece of software, i only have one wee request, which i think has been covered before, and that is the ability to alter the date of an appointment. I know i can go to POutlook and do it there, but it does rather defeat the point of a thumb friendly application.

Backup appointments, reminders and events

I have stored many many appointments, reminders and events across the entire year and many of them are monthly/yearly recurrent.

Where does ThumbCal v.0.5.1 store that data? I would like to make a backup of the file which contains all my inputs... is that an .xml .ini file (or other format) hidden somewhere? Where can I find it?

Anyone?

Cheers! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuifje_xda-developers:
feature suggestion

Hi,

I like the concept of thumbcal, but like other's i'd like more overview. So I support the request for a week view. However, i'd like to toss another idea:

instead of just marking the days with a appointments, consider the day element like the face of the clock, and indicate with 2 different background colours the free/busy time. An obvious problem is that there's 24 hours in a day, and only 12 hours in a clock face. What i thought: only display 12 hours (say from 8 in the morning till 8 in the evening, configurable of course), or make 2 concentric rings

see ya,

Kuifje

Everytime I Try And Install It Says Install Was Unsuccessfull. Any Suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
AFAIK ThumbCal uses the internal Database of the internal Calendar.

So you could backup your data e.g. with PIMbackup.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
i think SLI fell asleep :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tft:
will you release the source to this? this project is dead as it seems, last update was in march..

there are plenty of people including myself who would continue development of this app..

if not, let people know what is the status of this application is so people can move on and not sit here and wait until you get bored enough to decide to work on the app again..

if all these people posting asking for updates/features don't motivate you to continue development then i don't think anything will..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xxza:
yeah... icontact is really a good example...

we still haven't a good finger friendly calendar... ThumCal has a lot of potential...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Seems to be a pattern. ArcticCat, tene, and SLI all gave up on their finger-friendly calendars without a word. It's like a curse or something.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Guys, don't meet trouble halfway!

I started developing this app in march 08.

Since then I released 4 major versions and some bug fixes.

Now are 3 months gone. I mean, it is a good average and progress. I don't want to lament but I do that for free and I'm always looking to implement some of your ideas and suggestions. It takes a lot of my free time. I am very busy at work, my girlfriend wants to spend some time with me and by the way I am doing a distance study.

Anyway, I mentioned some postings before, that I am currently working on ThumbCal. THIS PROJECT IS NOT DEAD! But please understand, it's not just any WYSIWYG-click-clack-ready-thing. My donation button got clicked 8 times and is very very dusty, what doesn't mean, that I'm not motivated anymore. But approx. 17.000 downloads and wishes over wishes versus an 8 times clicked donation button...?

Thus, once again: I'm doing my best to get a new version ready soon.

I am currently fighting with some POOM Api problems and performance, especially if you have a lot of appointments/tasks.

To the source code thing: I don't want to make it open source. It took my time and nerves and should stay my little secret ;) .

So be patient, I will give an alert, if anything happens.

(I hope, you will understand this bad english... :rolleyes: )

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Hey man,

Thanks for your program. It really has the most potential of all the ones I've tried so far. I think for most of us, or at least me, it isn't about fast updates or demanding improvements. I mean we all know you are doing this on your own time and for free. It's just that when there's no response we're all left wondering whether you're reading these, or have just lost interest in the program and given up. So anyway, thanks for letting us know what's going on. Patiently waiting for the next release.

Common Concern

It's a common concern for most people here. That is, how much time and effort to put into testing a new application. The history of developers getting pretty far down the road and abandoning all work is pretty common. I have used your application since the beginning and it has served me well with no issues, and I continue to use it. I would have continued even if you did no further development. I am not sure I donated yet, I have donated to others and can't remember all of them. I will donate as soon as I get home, since I intend to keep using this nice application and should donate for the continued value it provides.

Further development will be most welcome.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
oh my god.. JamesAllen.. you almost made me cry :)

and i agree with everything said
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sushikidd:
hey s.l.i.

you made a few good points, and i also want to respond as so many others that you have done a great job and we all appreciate it very much. obviously we are waiting for updates and new releases becos we love this app. for me personally it is still not useful as my main calendar app mostly because of the speed and the edit problem, but i am still anxiously waiting for the next release.. ive planned all along to donate a fair contribution when the app reached the point of development where i can start using it a s my default calendar app. but kinda shocked by the low contributions so far in relation to the downloads, ive transferred just a very small very modest tip for your jar already, to keep your spirits up for now and i promise there will be a fatter one later on, when i can start using Thumbcal to replace the default wm6 calendar app.

for now i hope it will show some appreciation for work done so far and intention for more donations. hopefully everyone who has been following the development of this app will send u even just a few dollars at least per person already to somewhat financially and mentally encourage you and thank you..

we appreciate your work very much!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rwertz14:
First and foremost, I too want to thank you for your time and efforts that you have put into developing this application. I know once it reaches it's full potential it will be an awesome application. Keep up the good work.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noiseboyuk:
Hi s.l.i - this program has amazing potential. I may get in trouble for saying this, but personally I'd consider giving it the works, and making it a pay product! I've been really quite unhappy with every calender app I've tried, and yours really would clean up - with a bit more development, I'd happily pay for a full version. The basic interface is light years ahead of Informant, Fusion, Agenda One, Agendus etc.

I know a few others have made these points, but the two most important features to be implemented if you decide to expand are:

1 - Categories. Also a colour assign to the triangle in month view, and possibly a corner too? For example, four categories could have four colours each, and each on a different corner.

2 - Week view. This is the holy grail for me! IMHO, what would be ideal are 8 panes (perhaps the 8th could have date info for navigation) - a neat feature might be to have the day's number as a large shaded background rather than text which takes up valuable screen real estate. Then the first 2 or three appts visible on each day, and tapping the day takes you to day view. The same logical navigation you have in month view would complete it!

Like I say, I think what you have done already for nothing is outstanding. Personally I'd love for you to get this off the ground commercially, if it meant you could devote the time to do the above!

I'll include the skin.ini file in the zip file, maybe not all colors match,

but the ones I use do, so if they don't match in your opinion,

you can always adjust them (and share them :-) ).

The outlining isn't perfect, cause the buttons are smaller then the grid,

but it will do. Feel free to try it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sujinge9:
Just checked out your app since it was bundled with the death rom by shogun. I tried setting up an appointment, but it didn't alert me through a ring or anything. Also the set up for the alarm should be more streamlined by simply asking how many minutes beforehand should it alert you. I don't think there are many people who need to be alerted a day or so in advance.

Good stuff,

Thanks.
