Version 4.2 released!

After testing this release out on multiple devices, resolutions, roms and emulators it seems to be working well for me. Please let me know what you guys think.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mtcerio:
Great release! Thanks!

Hey cRaCKwHoRe,

That was fast, since your previous post! Thank you so much for your work!

Great release! The .cab file is so much smaller, and the scrolling issue seems to be solved for me!

Thanks again,

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mylostblog:
It'a a great App!! Can you make it portable?? Save the settings in a file instead of the registry..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
I suppose I could make it work either way. Gimme a few ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] barbapappa_86:
Good to see your back Cracky :) Gonna try this one out asap!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] anssibragge:
I tried the 4.0 and 4.1....

Well, the GUI was not very intuitive, sorry.

Then I realised, that I don't do any shopping myself anyway.... ;)

My wife handles everything related to grocery store shopping, I only make some suggestions time to time..

So, well, have fun ppl with it, I just don't have the need.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
No worries, it's not for everyone. As far as intuitive- I'm not sure how much easier it gets than typing in an input box and pressing enter or "+"... :p

Scrolling Issue in 4.2

Dearest cRaCK,

I have once again jumped on your newest release with much anticipation and trust that some of the "issues" have been resolved, but alas, they still seem to be there, so let me regale you with my list of ills (well, one really, but it sounds just so much more impressive when you make it a list, dont you think?):

Open a Master List and scroll down to select something from other than the first page - on selection, the list scrolls back to the top <- this is a major PITA (Pain in the Arse) as when trying to select a full list you are spending most of your life re-scrolling

The About screen still shows v4.0 (not really an issue, but as said before, its far more impressive when multiple issues are found)

Keep up the great work as this is one of those apps that will change the world and bring hope & joy to all mankind (a tad over the top? Possibly, but whatever it takes).

Chat soon Mr wHoRe!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GoodGets:
Great release, thank you crackwhore for your continued support on this app. However, I believe there's a problem with the latest version (4.2) and deleting items. After I've entered an item, then select and hold, then select delete - it deletes the item just fine, but then the app freezes, and I get an Error screen (an unexpected error has occurred in shppoing cart.exe. When I select details, it says "ArgumentOutOfRangeException."

A friend of mine also reported this same issue on his TP using this latest version 4.2. Hopefully just a minor bug, and thank you for your work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
1. Working on this.

2. Fixed. Was a really hard one! :p

Fixed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] anssibragge:
Well, about the intuitiviness...

it is easy to type and click on +

But the saving of the lists (a file with date in it's name?!) was not functioning so smoothly for me, also it is not clear from the beginning how the lists work.

And I don't RTFM, of course not, I am not computer illiterate :)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] onesolo:
Talking about the same, is it me or this new version does not fix the categories tabs problem?? When I create a new category I don't see any tab...

????
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
Hmm, I seem to have fixed it for me... How exactly are you doing it? It now works for me with the following processes:

1. Type text in input field.

2. Long press and hold + button and select Add category xx.

or

1. Type text in input field.

2. Select menu item Add category xx.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Deltatristar500:
Great work on the update, much better on the scroll issue...ay future plans fo being able to use the keyboard on the touch pro in landscape view? Great little app.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Excellent update bro! Scrolling and creating categories have both been fixed and are working beautifully, thank you!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] onesolo:
I tried exactly the way you tell and no way I get tabs on the bottom or whatsoever...

I also uninstalled the app and still the same.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
When you first launch the application, say after a clean install of it, do you get the "General" tab at the bottom? What happens when you try to add new tabs? Does it give any sort of error message or just nothing happens?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rebecker:
cRaCKwHoRe,

Had to go back to version 4.1 on my TyTN II. 4.2 would not remember the list that was last open. Had to use the open command even though 4.2 was set to open the last list on start.

HOWEVER. 4.1 works great for me, so no complaints.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] darthmelk:
Hi crack! The scrolling bug is indeed fixed on my X1, now I can start using your nice software! :)

But there's aother small bug to correct when you have the time:

1. Start app.

2. Enter some items, enough to be able to scroll (i tried with more than 20 and a big font).

3. Scroll down and tap-and-hold on a checkbox to check an item. Or just tap it, depending on your setting on how to check items.

4. The item will be checked and moved to the bottom, but the screen will automatically go up to the top of the list.

It would be good if the list remained in the position where the item was checked, not jump to the top...

Also, if you check the beta-testing group, I tried to explain a way to highlight the item while it's being pressed to check. Don't know if it's doable or not...

Great job with the app!! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] onesolo:
I don't get General tab at the bottom, for ages, at least since the v4.x series

I don't get any error when adding new tabs, simply nothing happens.

Update: I notice that I don't have installed you app, cause I uninstalled it yesterday, but went to the storage card and the whole program directory was still there. Don't now if it's your program's fault or Dutty's rom fault.

I deleted the directory and install it again, but still the same situation.

Another thing, the about only reports version 4.0

I did more testings and find out that the program in fact creates the categories, but does not display them on the bottom.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
I will check this.

I'm already working on the "issue" with the screen jumping back to the top of the list when you check an item. I'm using a custom control and it doesn't support this but I've been working on a workaround for it.

The about was just a minor thing. I forgot to change the version number. You are running this on your Touch HD right? 480x800 resolution?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
This is now fixed and will be in the 4.3 release.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] toesucker:
great app.

some bugs:

1. add category - while it DOES work through long-tap on +, it does not work through Menu - Categories - Add new

2. About in v. 4.2 shows 4.0

3. the proggie allows to create categories containing a slash in the name, but it gives an error when trying to save the list.

4. Menu - Categories - Rename current does NOT work

5. If I have an "&" in the category title, the name of the category does not show up in the tab

Request: Please add per-item "Add note" functionality. I would like to be able to see a small Note icon next to SOME items in case I need to add some longer description.

Request: If I add a category to the master list, and then select an item in that category and add it to a new list, the new category is automatically created in the new (regular) list. I would like to only add items (without creating categories). Example: I have a master list with several categories, one of them is fruit. It contains an item "apples". It also contains category "veggies" with an item "tomatoes". What I want to do is open master list, select tomatoes and apples and see them in the SAME level under General tab in the new regular list.

In addition to my comments here, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4137393&postcount=692

here's another one.

How come there is no scroller when there are more items than fits into the screen?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] onesolo:
Of course, the device is running in the native resolution.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fallen Spartan:
Try using your finger and dragging it up screen. Should move items up
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] toesucker:
Maybe it should, but it doesn't...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] christiand:
I tried you're application yesterday and I must say its quite a handy application. Did my groceries without forgetting something ;-)

Thx for you're time spent on developing and I will definetely watch you're app develop.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
1. It works for me. Anyone else have this issue?

2. Previously fixed. Will be addressed in 4.3.

3. This doesn't happen to me either... anyone else? When you say "slash" you mean the "\" character?

4. It works for me. Anyone else have this issue?

5. Working on this.

Request #1: Will think about it.

Request #2: Good call. Will make a setting or option to do it either way.

I will look into this. I don't have that device or that keyboard but I can investigate how I am handling scrolling based on the SIP being (in)active.

Don't need one... you use your finger to flick the list up and down.

I guess I will have to keep trying to reproduce it. I was able to fix it when it happened to me earlier and now it doesn't happen anymore... hopefully I can catch it.

The finger-flick scrolling doesn't work?

Awesome, I am glad you like it!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] toesucker:
No, I mean "/"

Nope. nothing happens when I try to scroll with my finger. I mean, nothing at all.

PS Can I ask you to please post the hi-res image of the app logo that you use inside the program? I am using a third-party launcher, and the standard icon is just not hi-res enough. Thanks :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] itsBri:
Hi cRaCKwHoRe,

Great app, thanx :D

On my HTC Touch HD, sometimes when I try to sort the list something strange happens, see attached image. :eek:

When I sort it a few more times, after this happens, the list is back to normal again.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
I will check this.

That's odd. It seems to work for everyone else. What device/ROM/resolution are you using?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
I will check this. You are referring to the checkboxes disappearing correct?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] loadstone007:
I'm now getting a weird error with SC 4.1. I was previously working with 4.0 and upgraded, and after a few days I got the WM "hourglass" icon, and then after 2 minutes of this I get a pretty long error message:

Error at System.IO._Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str) at System.IO.FileStream.ReadCore... etc... When I click OK, the program launches with an empty list. If I try to load my list, the program crashes. After this crash, my SD storage card becomes unavailable (it doesn't appear in file explorer, and all programs installed on it are unavailable). To fix this I turn off the device, wait several minutes and turn it back on.

I tried soft reset, didn't work. Upgrading to 4.2 didn't fix the problem - now the app launches with no error, but the program is unusable (can't add items or categories - without giving out any error).

Can you see if this is a bug that might need attention to?

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kane159:
when I use ezinput keyboard it will shows an error message....

4.2 didn't fix the bug

hope 4.3 can fix it:(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] barbapappa_86:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] toesucker:
Please please PLEASE fix the "no-scrolling" bug for me.

It prevents me from using the program as intended...

PS I am having some weird problems with the active list not opening at the program start, even though I have this setting enabled.

You don't need to use it for anything. It was just an icon another user requested so I attached it ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
That error has to do with the SIP... which SIP are you using on your device?

barcode reader feature

Do you think this could be modified to become a pantry inventory/ shopping list program?

Take a look at the specs for the pantry inventory program at http://www.sourcecodester.com/forum/inventory-system-pocket-pc.html

I would love to try and make it myself but I don't have the software. What do you use?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] loadstone007:
Unfortunately I deleted it a few days ago because it wasn't working.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Curb71:
finally put it to work today. 4.2 worked awesome! spent $330 at the grocery store cause I didn't forget anything this time. I think thats a good thing....:rolleyes:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
Yeah it could be easily modified. It looks like it already has quite a bit of what you're looking for... I wrote it in C# on the .NET compact framework 3.5 (in MS Visual Studio 2008).

LOL damn... I guess that's a good thing? Glad it works well for you. I still have to find some time to fix a few minor issues that others are having. Hopefully I can get to it next week.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] makbil:
Hi cRaCKwHoRe. I was still on v2, got some time now and upgraded to v4.2. Still haven't had time to browse through the thread, will do it tonight. I'm having a problem that whatever I do I can't seem to save my list. Master list saves OK but even if I manually save the list or confirm on exit my shopping cart is never saved. I'm on Dutty's v4 but I don't think it's ROM related. Installed on SD card.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
Hey makbil, I will look into it. Seems to work fine for me. I need to flash Dutty's v 4.0 anyhow so I will try to resolve this in the next days.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Congrats Mr. Moderator! Nice name change as well :)

Still loving this great piece of software, thank you!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
Thank you sir! Will try to get the upcoming release out next week before I go on vacation!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Sounds great! Looking forward to it!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gf.greg:
Hi there,

i keep trying to install 4.2, but every time I do, when I check in help/about it still says 4.0, and I still can't get categories to work and show up at all...

any tips wwould appreciated, thanks.

Edit: found post about version not showing correctly in "about", so that answers my own question.

Still can't get categories to work, not even the first "general" on open...

Edit 2: Ok, getting the wierdest most random buggs and instability here: I open the application, I now get the "General" tab bottom left. now, I try to create new category, enter name with long press, I'm thrown in new page with no category tabs at the bottom at all. Then another time categories are showing again, but when the keyboard collapses, the screen doesn't re-adjust, living tabs half way up the screen. Now the app has just crashed apparently, after trying to press a category tab which was stuck in the middle of the screen, I get message "Value does not fall within the expected range" . (this seems to happen again and again) Will try to restart, for the life of me just can't figure what's going on, some peeps seem to be please with this app...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
Yeah. The issue with the categories not showing and the error message you are getting are because of some issues I've found with the SIP opening and closing. I need to check the code that handles resizing the controls. That is what is causing the problem. I hope to have it fixed in 4.3 next week.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gf.greg:
Yep, thanks for your reply. Looking forward to it...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Curb71:

Looking forward to the next release. And congrats to the promotion! :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] makbil:
I tried this again after a hard reset.

I deleted v4.2 folder from SD card, reinstalled to SDcard. Now everything works fine on Dutty's WM6.5 R8

Some personal observations: I like the simplicity of the program, clean, simple and functional. Obviously more discussion to follow after some extended use in real life.

One thing that did cause me some inconvenience though was that sometimes I just add an item directly to my list and there is no way to transfer that to the master list. It's not a big deal and certainly not high priority but perhaps you could put that somewhere at the bottom of the to-do list ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheBigBentley:
Hows about WQVGA?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
Good idea. I will add that at some point :)

Refresh my memory what resolution that is... I see different numbers googling it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Friend of Bill W.:
Congrats Mista Moderate Thor :o)

still here, just been quit. Your SW doesn't work for me yet (4.2 but showing 4.0 + categories) but I wait for 4.3 & hope it might be fixed . Keep up da good work my browwa from anowwa mowwa
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ant80409:
Im not sure exactly what you mean by SIP, but the phone is on the sprint network though.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fwt:
SIP = Standard Input Panel (afaik)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
Thanks! How you been bro? 4.3 should fix everything. Like I said previously, I found some issues in my code handling the SIP so that should take care of it.

Correct!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] douginoz:
Cool program, have just installed it and trying it out. Not quite understanding master vs. normal lists.

- I started the program, entered "milk", "bread", "peanut butter". Ok, I have a list I guess.

- I looked through the menu and selected "Master List-> Create" and it cleared the list and the tab is now labelled "Master". Hmmm. Where'd my milk etc. go?

- I entered a couple of items, selected "Master List-> Save".

Here's where I'm confused:

- The help file doesn't explain what a master list is, it just tells you what the menu items do. There's no mention on the 1st few posts of this thread either.

- If I select Menu->List->Open and select the only thing there (today's date.txt), it tells me "You attempted to open a Master list file as a normal list. Please use the open master list menu option instead.".

Perhaps have the application save master lists with a different file extension so they don't show up when in the List->Open dialog. The error message is really an application error, not a use error. Master lists shouldn't be selectable in this dialog if they're not openable. It seems that the default is ".txt", but perhaps this should be proprietary if the contents aren't just plain text, e.g. ".lst", ".mst". (Why are extensions still only 3 characters long? 8.3 is about 30 years old! Oops, I'm rambling)

If I make a list of, say, 30 items that I need for grocery shopping, how do I use this list?

- I create the list of all 30 items that I regulary buy

- I decide on Friday which items I need (e.g. 20 of the 30 I created), and tick them to indicate that those are the ones I need.

- I go shopping, and as I grab each item I tick it off - oh no, wait, I can't, they're already ticked.

There needs to be some way to handle this 2-step process - indicating which items you need, then ticking them off as you buy them. Then, you need a way to reset them all once you've finished shopping.

The alternative to the above is to create a list each time I need to shop, but that would be nuts - I'm never going to re-type in the same 10 or 20 items each week.

I get the impression somewhere in the app that there's a workflow that's expected, but I'm guessing my way through the app and will likely abandon it if I don't stumble on the right way. Something about creating a master list then using it to create normal lists or something.

I also tried exiting and restarting it to give it a fresh chance. I selected Master List -> Create, and entered 20 items. I then selected "Master List-> Save", and it returns an error saying that the file's in use ("The process can not access the file ... because it is being used by another process." Again, some sort of workflow that I must be doing wrong. I would have thought that you create a new master list and then save it. Is this not right?

Perhaps give a very quick walk-through of the correct way (or expected way) to use the app and stick it at the beginning of the thead for quick reference?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ant80409:
After learning about what exactly an SIP is I found out that the Moto Q doesn't have an SIP. It is not touch screen so it only uses the standard keyboard for input. Your assistance would be appreciated. Also when would the 4.3v be released?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] naynada:
Working fine on WQVGA here - Omnia i900, that is.

Great job Digital Outcast, keep it up =]
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] makbil:
This is how it works:

Basically you create a master list containing any and all items you ever purchased or plan to purchase.

Then for each list, you select the items you need from this master list and they are added to your list - default is unchecked for all these items.

I agree that master list and normal list extensions should be different or the wrong type not shown when opening files, it would prevent some confusion.

Refining a feature suggestion I had made earlier, if a new item that doesn't exist in the master list is added to a list, there could be an option asking whether this item should also be added to the master list.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Brtt:
I also have the problem of not being able to finger-scroll through a list.

That and the "About" still showing 4.0 when I'm supposed to be in 4.2.

I'm using an unmodified (aka I didn't play with ROMs yet) HTC Diamond 2.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] makbil:
I confirm. I did a clean install on a newly flashed ROM and the "About" option shows version 4.0.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] idandush:
Hi ,

i am on this thread watching from day 1 .

i have installed the latest , and its all good - yet i am afraid with the master list and all the other list , this application might be confusing .
