E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T Ronny :)

Going to download it right away and will post feedback!

Thanks thanks thanks :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A&A:
Ok, after having tested TypeNote v.0.9.8 here you have my feedback.

First of all, thanks for having implemented many new VERY USEFUL features... And above all the possibility to run the application as portable!

Some items (in order of importance) which IMHO should be addressed:

1) The 'Hide' option is only showing when you are inside a note: It would be great to have the option to hide the buttons in every screen... Or even better: Buttons should be hidden by default and in the main screen the caption rather than being 'Hide' it should be 'Show'. Eventually a 'Show buttons by default: Yes/No' option could be added to the Settings menu.

2) If you import notes from the PC in .txt format all special characters (like à è ì ò ù € ä ß ø) which are present in the note (in the actual .txt file) are not displayed when you open a note in TypeNote. However if you type within TypeNote the same characters are saved and displayed properly. It would be great if TypeNote could support the standard .txt files (in DOS Text/Unicode file formats) commonly used on PC. This way one could easly transfer several notes (prepared on the PC) to the PDA and neatly sort/view (and eventually edit) them in TypeNote while on the move, then trasfer them back to the PC without having to manually re-edit all the special chars typed in TypeNote. This is what makes your application so amazingly useful!!!

3) When you open a note it should be possible to get rid of the small button 'Title/Note', which BTW is there even if you scroll down a note. I have also tried to delete test.JPG (in the 'images' folder) but the 'Title/Note' caption still appears!

4) In Settings (or by replacing an element in the installation directory) it would be great if the background colors could be changed.

Please also note that if the 'Add files from main folder' option is unchecked the notes you add to the first category are not stored within that category folder in the installation directory but rather in the main folder (the one called 'Notes' in the installation directory).

Example: If inside the 'Notes' folder there is only one sub-folder/category called 'Projects' (full of .txt files) if the 'Add files from main folder' option is unchecked and you open the 'Projects' category within TypeNote all your notes/.txt files are NOT visible. They will become visible ONLY if if the 'Add files from main folder' option is checked!

Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks again :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Will look at this for the next release.

That button should disappear when you click the textfield to edit notes, but of course i could remove it permanently.

interesting bug hehe.. i'll fix this asap.

Thank you very much for your feedback :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A&A:
Great, thanks! Looking forward to that.

Yes please, just remove it permanently :)

Super!

You are very welcome :D Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Has been removed.

Fixed, should work well now :)

Download available on page 1.

Have a good rest of weekend all.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A&A:
Much better, thanks!

Please try to reproduce this situation and tell me if you also experience this: If inside the 'Notes' folder there is only one sub-folder/category called 'Projects' (full of .txt files) if the 'Add files from main folder' option is unchecked and you open the 'Projects' category within TypeNote all your notes/.txt files are NOT visible. They will become visible ONLY if if the 'Add files from main folder' option is checked! This is unfortunately still happening :(

New (small) bug found: If you are inside a note and you tap on the X to close the application, the application behaves a bit strangely. In other words, it attempts to quit but then it reopens with the 'Are you sure you want to quit?' prompt and (only randomly) if you reply with a 'No', the bottom of the screen (approx. the size of a keyboard) remains black!

Please also note that in 'About' the version is still shown as TypeNote V0.9.8

Thanks again :D

A&A
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Strange about that black field... But i guess it hides the keyboard, without resizing the form.. so the textbox remain at same size.

I'll look into this a little bit later, and send you for testing..

Notes not visable

I also am having the problem of notes not showing if the

"Add files...Main Folder" not checked.

Am using WM6.1, Samsung-Epix.

What other info can I give you to help track down this problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
I know where the problem is (in the code), but wont have time to fix it till tom. So i removed the download... and will put a new after fixing.

- Ronny -
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A&A:
Hey Ronny,

Please take your time... After all that small bug can be temporarily (fully) bypassed by simply checking the 'Add files from main folder' option in Settings :)

Maybe whenever you will take care of the Hide/Show buttons and the special characters compatibility you can combine it with fixing that issue all in one release :D

Thanks again for all your efforts and very prompt response!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neely30188:
Tree Structure

Have you given any thought to using sub-catigories.

ie. make it a true Tree Structure..that would be nice!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A&A:
Yeah right, why make things easy if they can be so nicely complicate? :D

IMHO TypeNote should remain as straightforward and functional as it is and it should not be converted into an Explorer (much worse into a maze)... After all its name is TypeNote and not TreeNote :D :D :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neely30188:
!!Point well taken!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Actually i have thought about this, but it would be a completely different program, and would require me to re-program most of the code.

- Ronny -
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Fixed!

Also fixed the black field showing when not exiting.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hendrixus:
I would like that too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A&A:
Excellent job, Ronny!

Thanks for the latest changes you introduced ;)

I was wondering -since I noticed that a couple of categories in my TypeNote contain a remarkable amount of notes/txt files making scrolling quite tedious- if the introduction of a simple indexed search like the one of Resco Explorer (see vertical Letter Navigation Scroller on the right side of the screenshots) would represent too much trouble.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

A&A

PS: Photoshop is my middle name :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Interesting idea. I haven't planned to add this function, but now i got interested hehe... Will check how to do this, and maybe try something for the next release.

How you think i made the buttons in TypeNote ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] A&A:
Letter Navigation Scroller

Great! But please make sure that the option to auto-hide the Letter Navigation Scroller is there, and also that it actually appears ONLY when (normally) the vertical scrollbar would show... Unlike in my silly photoshopped screenshot! :D

Buttons!?!?! Which buttons? :rolleyes:

Ahaa, you mean the huge ones which you can no longer hide when you are inside the Category screen and inspired me to get the idea about the Letter Navigation Scroller? :D:D:D

Jokes apart Ronny, (please don't hate me) any chance you set these lovely buttons as HIDDEN by default and you add a "Show" caption there where in the old version you had the "Hide"? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] queer~dude:
Nice app

Wonder can this app replace the default Note?

thank

cheerz
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
I have the same problem, and the very last item in a long file list is covered up by the buttons, so I either have to open the next to the last file and navigate down to the last one, or tap the screen just above the button background to open it (but in that case I'm flying blind, so to speak).

Otherwise, these latest changes are very much appreciated. I especially like the fact that TypeNote's settings are now stored as a file in the program folder, instead of in the registry. This makes TypeNote more portable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
Ronny, here's another little suggestion to keep you busy -- as if you weren't busy enough! ;)

How about adding the option of searching for text without replacing it? My notes are often so long-winded that I have trouble finding particular passages in them.

I tried finding passages by leaving the "Replace with" field empty, but nothing happened. Actually, it's a good thing that nothing happened, otherwise I would have wound up replacing the string with nothing -- in other words, all occurrences of the string would have been deleted! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Can i ask some questions?

- What screen resolution do you have?

- How do you start the program (portrait/landscape)?

- When does this happen? unless it always behaves like this.

- Ronny -
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Yes kinda strange that i didn't make it when i made the "search and replace"...

yes, if one of the fields are empty it will not do anything..

Maybe i should combine these two functions:

- if both fields contain a word = replace

- if only first field has a word = search

Do you like that idea?

Edited:

*** i will do is this way.. It works good***

- Ronny -
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ronnyh:
Well it depend on what you mean "replace"..

It will not open files made in Note, and in TypeNote you can't draw, so i guess it's not really the same type of program in all ways. TypeNote opens .txt files only.

But the standard Note program didn't do it for me, so i made my own.

- Ronny -
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
480x640 VGA.

Always in portrait mode. In landscape mode, the buttons would crowd the screen, because there's not enough vertical space to begin with. In fact, I rarely use landscape mode on this device, anyway.

The file list always looks like that if I have more than a screen full of files. BTW, the down arrow on the scroll bar is partly cut off, too; half of it sinks beneath the button background. If I drag the scrollbar at the center until it reaches the bottom of the list, I can just barely see the last file as a thin line above the button background. That's my only indication that there's one more down there.

I haven't seen the same behavior in the category list, but then I don't have that many categories.

---

OK, I just added some extra categories to test this.The same thing happens, so if there are more categories than 10, or more text files than 10, the scrollbar terminates beneath the button background, at least on this device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
Sounds good, Ronny!

In many editors, including CKE and Word, leaving the replace field blank removes the text searched for during a replace operation. I call that "Search & Destroy", although sometimes it's useful. I ran into Search & Destroy accidentally in NeboPad by using the Cut command from the context menu. Every single occurrence of the string vanished from the document instantly, which is a unique use of "Cut"! Totally incorrect, but unique! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hendrixus:
Ronnyh,

thanks for the update.

"open category on startup"not tagged gives me a category, the first? I have only one yet;)

I mean an option NOT to open any category?

I do hope not all of the files even when they are not .txt

"Save" and "save as" ?

I don't see them with any of my keyboards.

An option "back"? "Cancel" puts you back to the previous screen, though?

An option to export one note at the time, possible?

No tree option yet?;)

Translations?

I can do the dutch :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
OK, so I installed v0.9.8.1 today and it works fine, but there is still a reference to v0.9.2 in my Remove Programs list. (RH TypeNote vs. Rh TypeNote). So how do I get rid of it.

I can find no reference to 0.9.2 in my registry or anywhere else on my device but the reference to "Rh TypeNote" persists. When I installed v0.9.8.1 it did indicate that it was replacing v0.9.2.

This is probably not causing a problem but it shouldn't be there :mad: so I want to delete it.

EDIT: Regarding v0.9.8.1, I tried opening a txt file with File Explorer, associating TypeNote with the file type, but only the file name is visible, no content. I even saved the file to a Category and then tried to view it but the file is empty (0 bytes). When I moved the 2.12K file manually into the TypeNote folder it opened just fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
Have you checked the subfolders under \Windows\AppMgr? Sometimes an uninstall doesn't remove the reference from there. In fact, I just checked that folder on my device, and found an empty subfolder from a program I had removed a long time ago. There was no reference to it in the Remove Programs control panel applet, or anywhere in the registry.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
Yep. That's one of the first places I looked. After I reinstalled v0.9.2 (trying to install/uninstall) it appeared in Windows\AppMgr and Remove Programs. After uninstalling, I got the "could not complete the iuninstall" message. Went to AppMgr and tried to delete the Rh TypeNote folder and subfolders, but I got an error not permitting me to delete it (access denied or in use). So I turned off the phone, pulled the battery, restarted and still could not delete the Rh TypeNote folder in AppMgr.

When I installed v.0.9.8.1, it replaced the Rh TypeNote folder/subfolders in AppMgr with RH TypeNote folder/subfolder, but the reference to Rh TypeNote still appears in the Remove programs applet. Searched the registry and there is no reference to Rh TypeNote (syntax for v.0.9.2) so there must be some other location where Remove Programs gets it's data. I thought I remember seeing a txt or html file somewhere with a list of apps , but I an mot sure. Getting old sucks!

I have had problems completely removing today plugins before and have always figured it out, but this is a first.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
You're right, getting old sucks (don't I know it! ;) ), but registry entries suck more. I'd like to see as many developers as possible abandon the registry and use plain text .ini or .cfg files, or whatever.

The only other place in the registry I'm aware of, besides the various entries under HKLM\Software, is HKLM\Security\AppInstall\.

I rarely keep apps installed unless they have system dependencies that I can't figure out. At the moment, the only things showing in Remove Programs on this device are .NET CF 3.5 and an app that enhances PIE.

After I've installed an app with its .cab file, I copy its program folder to backup, uninstall the app, then copy my backed up folder to wherever I want on the device and create a new start menu shortcut to the .exe file. It works perfectly, with very few exceptions. I've even been able to do this with Iris Browser and Opera Mobile.

Apps that store their settings in the registry will do that automatically, whether they've been "installed" or not. Sometimes I back up the registry key under HKCU\Software, just to be on the safe side.

TypeNote stores its settings in the program folder, so I can move it anywhere I want.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
RH TypeNote is in both those keys (identified as v0.9.8) but there is no reference to Rh TypeNote. Interesting that where Rh TypeNote is listed in my long list of apps in Remove Programs, it is still in the order that it was installed (the new version of Type Note, listed as RH TypeNote is the most recent install).

So the Remove Programs applet accesses a list that can sort by install date or alphabetically. It's not either registry key noted above or \Windows\AppMgr. Both MemMaid and SK Tools do not recognize Rh TypeNote as an installed app. Only RH TypeNote. It's not a big deal, but I just hate having stragglers. Keeps me up at night.

On your second point, I have to ask, why? Just curious.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
Maybe it has a lot to do with having cut my teeth on DOS programs years ago before I moved on to Windows 3.1. Everything was easier to manage back then.

I have a backup folder on one of my cards in which there are complete copies of everything in \Program Files, plus apps I may have set aside, but may want to use again someday. I find this gives me far more flexibility, even to the extent that I've been able to run two different versions of the same program simultaneously and compare them.

Also, after a hard reset, which I've had to do a few times, there are some key programs I need in a hurry. I can run them from the SD card immediately, and restore the rest of my programs later. Total Commander is what I need most of all at a time like that, since File Explorer just doesn't make it.

Surprisingly, the .CAB files often take up more space than the apps themselves, so I keep only the .CABs for things that I can't install any other way (e.g. NET CF). They're renamed as ".CA_" files, so that I don't start them accidentally while rummaging through my backups. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
Interesting, and logical approach. I may just have to do some experimenting. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neurocutie:
I've been looking (a long time) for a WM equivalent of PalmOS's venerable Memo app. Currently I use a thing called Tombo, which satisfies (barely) this need. But its amazing to me that nothing is out there in the WM world that can replicate PalmOS's most basic, 15yr old app.

One of the main features of Palm Memo (and PalmOS) in general, is Global Find (search). Basically, you enter in a search string and it runs through all memos (notes) and lists every hit in a table. You can then tap on a particular hit and you will instantly (and I mean instantly) jump into Memo in the right memo, at the point of the hit. WM Notes cannot do this basic function and the WM Search function can't do it, and is slow, slow, slow (on a 500Mhz CPU, whereas PalmOS is running on an 8Mhz CPU but is easily 100X fast).

Of course PalmOS extends this such that Global Find can search not only memos, but ALL data sources (emails, contacts, call logs, in fact ANY app's data).

It would be great if this notes app could at least do the first part...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
Hi, Ronny! Do you plan on making any further modifications to TypeNote? Just curious, because I haven't seen any posts from you for several months. I'm still using 0.9.8.1 at the moment, and liking it.

BTW, I'm not sure if I mentioned that my problem with the last note in the list being covered up by the buttons occurs only in portrait mode, never in landscape.

Actually, the only changes I was hoping to see were the addition of search without replace, and the option of replacing a string one at a time, rather than all instances of it. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sprinttp2:
I agree. I just upgraded to the HTC TP2 a few months ago and have been carrying along my Palm with the notes since I still have not found an app to match it.

Does anyone know how to move the notes from Palm to typnotes. I can pull them into Outlook and sync them to the winmo device, but how do I pull them into typenotes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neely30188:
Search function and more...

I am not trying to take away from TypeNote, I tried it and liked it but I needed a full tree structure, search, secure notes, and more. Try Tombo if you need these functions.

http://freewareppc.com/utilities/tombo.shtml
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Foliator:
I don't know anything about the Palm OS. Doesn't it support plain text (.txt) files? If it does, and if those notes are in that format, why not move them into create subfolders inside the default notes folder you use for TypeNote (no more than one level down)? The folders will then be seen by TypeNote as categories.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] giccia:
great software but a little instable (i.e the export function crash when you go up up up in the tree and the hardware button not always work).

Are you still working on this project?

Hey,

I had a very bad wifi connection with my TD2 so i send it to the service/repair center.. 2 very hard weeks later my phone came back and ... it was acetly the same.. they only flashed the standart ROM back and did nothing else :mad::mad::mad:

They did screw it open i think because the VOID sticker has a new place.. but wifi still sucks...

Screw you, HTC

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jiannichan:
I've been trying to find a way to fix this...

Is there a way or a setting somewhere that stops the Tilt from downloading messages I send/reply or is that a setting a gmail. It is annoying when I reply to an email using the gmail web interface or with outlook on my PC, then my phone will download my mail as a new message. I don't really want to set up some sort of filter, since some times when I send an email, I will CC myself, but I am just annoyed by it downloading every single reply.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Stu_Can_Sam:
Uuuuuhhhhhhh o.k.

:confused:stop CC'ing yourself, just check your sent box... too simple or not complex enough a solution?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jiannichan:
Did you read the problem or not understand it? The problem is when I reply to emails, the Tilt will download it as a new message. Where did I state that I CC myself all the time? What does checking my sent messages have anything to do with what the Tilt is downloading?
