im attempting to make a dusk skin for this app. im just about finished just have to touch up the edges a little and mess with the shading, but im having a bit of an issue as you can see in the screenshot:

this doesnt happen everytime i open the program, usually only when i go into the options and then back out or if i go to add things to my list then go back to the main menu. any idea what could be causing this?

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
If you wish, send me the files, and I'll try to check in the debugger
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Yee, got it now, don't think most users will like it, as it means that they can always see only one category.

What about collapsing all other categories (instead of hiding them) ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
I that case i can't see the need/sense to have the option to choose a specefic categorie in Edit Shopping List!

If that's posibble it would be a good alternative! I would always prefer that option in several windows as i mentioned before in other posts!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
The original idea is that the upper part is used to create new items (here, in categories window, in SMS target window, ...), and the selected category is part of the new item data.

OK, I think I'll add an option for that in the Options window
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
Oeps forgot that.I was only thinking of handling the interface! ;)

Would be great!Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
New version 3.2

* Removed using of the library used for transparent buttons in main page, transparency is ignored for now

* New option, when selecting a category, all other categories will be collapsed.

Please note that the maximal button height in the main window is reduced to 78 pixels.

The reason for that is that with the new "non full-window" mode, there is less space for buttons in the screen.

I have scaled down the buttons also of Lycox, if you want to do it differently, just send me the updated files.

Also, added redd214 skin to the install.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] redd214:
thank you for adding my skin amir, hope you guys enjoy it!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tito12:
Hi Amir

@Amir

Thanks for update, made a quick test copy/paste works now whitout interfering the interface.

Cool new skin:eek:love it

Keep up great work!;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
Not working here in main-window "Edit Shopping List", categories are still expanded, works only in "Go Shopping".:confused:

Did you remember to set the option in the Options window?

Greek translation for version 3.2

Hi Amirdt.

Below is the updated Greek language file for v.3.2.

Thanks for the new version.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Thanks, updated :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
OhOh stupido:o:D

It works GREAAAAAAAT.Thank you very much!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
I'm making a new Dutch translating for V.3.2, but what is the meaning of Hide Saved List type in "Options". Can't see any effect when turn it ON/OFF?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
If you uncheck it, than you can attache a type to each Saved List, the lists will be grouped and sorted by those types.

Try to uncheck it, than go to Saved Lists, you see that now you have a Type field (much like the category for shopping items).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
Whaw, that's an cool option to personalise shoppinglists:)

But it was also great when you could tread it like Categories!

As you can see (screenshot)in my example i made some shopping lists for different stores for one person "Irene".

Would like some more nice/easier features in that option like:

-possibility to rename the "type" Irene into Frans later.

-you could sent an sms/email right from that menuwindow, because you already did the job, create the shopping List. Because now you have to click on the list, you wil be re-direct in the programm, the list expance, you have to check all the items, and in that window you can sent the sms/E-mail

-you could see the name of the list in SMS/E-mail e.g. Aldi,Lidl etc.

-possibility to re-save/give the lists to another person e.g. Frans.

Maybe another idea/suggestion.

BTW the programm is running very smooth and fast in my opion, only when i click on a saved list their is an delay

before it will open.I don't like it, I love it!:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
You can edit the types, while in the types window select "Modify types" from the menu.

Can you further explain, didn't understand that

Good idea, will be added

Didn't understand that, please explain

First sorry for my bad english!

Lets refer to my screenshot:

-I my opinion "Irene" is just something like a Categorie and Aldi,Lidl,PlusmarktMeijer are shopping lists. In first place i want rename "Irene" into another name, not the shopping list itself.

Your right, didn't see it before

:o

Can you further explain, didn't understand that

When you look at the screenshot there is another pop-up with, "Delete Items",Save changes etc.In this pop-menu the possibility to "Sent SMS or Email".one of the already checked lists Aldi,Lidl,Plusmarkt....

The possibility to copy/paste in my example shopping list Aldi, or Lidl into another predefind "Irene"(Categorie/Type)

Sorry, but can't multiquote that post for some reason! Maybe i do something wrong!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nightwish2:
Thanks very much for this app. I am looking forward to use it for the first time.. :)

In the meantime: Could you perhaps post the Icon tha goes to the quicklink on the homescreen? Cause I am using special Icon I'd like to put it into that theme.. qould that be possible?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Ok, added to the todo...

You can today copy items from one list to other list
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Not sure that I understood you.

The app icon is installed on the \Windows folder of the unit. look for \Window\ShoppingList.png

You can change the icon by changing this file.

If the quicklink icon is not updated after changing the file (even after restart) you'll may need to delete HTC cache.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nightwish2:
Thanks for replying.

Well I couldn't find that icon because I didn't know its name and there are a few .png files there in the meantime :D

I now found it, thanks a lot. Changing won't be a prob, did that a coupke of times already.

BTW: I had Version 2 installed before going to 3.2 and I liked the skin of V2 and I don't think it is still there in 3.2 anymore. Can this be or do I have a false memory of it looking before uodating?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
All the skins are there, however, using transparency on the main screen is taxing quite allot on the CPU, and it slowed down the drawing of the main screen, as a result I decided that for now I'll remove that library. Thus for now, transparency is disabled in the 2 skins that used it. As most ppl didnt like those 2 skins anyway, seems that this is not a big lose...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
@Amir

Dutch translation for V.3.2;)

Would like to create a skin, is it possible to upload the needed PNG's/JPG's or even a PSD(Photoshop) file for design.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Just look at one of the existing skins in the skins folder....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
OK.Have no experience with programming/design an app!:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:

* Have Saved List name appear at Email/SMS

* Added ability to Email/SMS of several saved lists in one go, in the "Saved Lists" window

[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
@Amir

Thanks for the update! First uninstall V.3.20.Installed V.3.30 , wil choose a skin, programm crashed.

Copied old previous version ShoppingList.xml into program,Dusk skin on screen now,couldn't start/run programm almost crashing when i tried to cklick a button in main menu:confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
It crashed on first run when you selected a skin?

Which skin was that?

Can you send me your ShoppingList.xml file?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
See updated previous post!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
See my updated question :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Raggy360:
I like the improvments.

even the colours,etc are a lot better :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
Don't know why, but reinstalled V.3.20, after that installed V3.30 (system asked me to remove older version)OK. Installation V3.30 OK.

All works like a charm now! Like al the new options, chapeau, great work!

XML-file seems to be OK to.

Had some question about making own skin:

- have i only to change/modify the pictures a replace them with same size and name or must i also change something in that ini-file:confused:

Would like some advice;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zibbie:
Love to try it, but...

[Windows Mobile Software Development] kernel610:
it appears that the show/hide category feature works great in "Go Shopping", but what about in the "Saved List" section? It doesn't seem to save the view after I leave that screen like it does for "Go Shopping". This would be a great feature since I have 1 big list that has everything categorized into area (produce, dairy, frozen, etc). Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
As per previous request, you can fast scroll to view items of specific category (and closing all others categories) by selecting a category in this screen (clicking on the category button and selecting a category).

There is also already issue in the todo list to save the state of this screen when you leave it...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
whats your WM version? (and any other details you can post)

Also, please try to do a soft reset, and than try again to install the program before running other apps.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Updated first post, please let me know if you need more info.

How to add a skin

All skins are in a folder called Skins under the install folder of the application.

Each skin is in its own sub-folder

The names of the files in the skin folder must start with the folder name followed by dash '-', for example, if the folder name is Blue, than all file names in it must start with "Blue-"

Button width shouldn't exceed 400 pixels, and its maximal height should be 78 pixels

for each button there are 4 png images, when its released (up) when its pressed (down), and up & down qvga version.

Normally the qvga versions are just 50% scalled down of the regular buttons.

You should also have an ini file named <skin folder name>-skin.ini (e.g. Blue-skin.ini).

The colors inside are in hex format as 0xRRGGBB, e.g., if you want deep green color (Red=0, Green=FF (255 dec), Blue=0) the value will be 0x00FF00

Note that for now, the use of Logo and background image is disabled.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
Thanks for the info!

If understand it right, when i refer to the Blue folder, i cannot change that background Blue-ApplicationBG.png in a file with some e.g. structuur or another picture? I'm asking that because here the background is an image-file e.g. PNG and a not a choosen color in the ini.???!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Well you can change the file if you wish, but as I wrote, currently the background image and the logo image are ignored so you wont see your changes...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
That's unfortunate because this is obviously the challenge of designing a new layout.Do you have a special reason for that:confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
As i previously wrote using transpancy is very taxing on the CPU, thus older phones got slow main screen....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cicatrize:
Wow, this looks like a great app! Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zibbie:
More Info...

I am running the latest TPC 7, wm 6.5.3. I tried to find the referenced version of .net and it said I had a later release already.

I've done soft reset, and all I get is, install unsuccessful. Not sure what more I can share.

Thanks for the reply
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
I cant reproduce it here.

If you can PM me your email I can try to send you some test installs.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kalhimeo:
thank you for your application, it looks great.

I hope that you will be able to do a PC version with a synchronisation feature (by Activesync or maybe email ?). Then your application would be perfect !

Best regards,

Categories

Hi,

Looks like the scrolling issue is finally fixed for me, so I can use the app. WooHoo!

Unfortunately, there seems to still be a huge problem with categories. For some reason, items in some of my categories are saved as | |, and actually are not added to a standard list when I export them from the master list. When I reopen the master list, I only see the |'s...

Also, I would like to re-request the feature I REALLY would appreciate.

I want to create a master list with many categories and fill it up with items.

BUT - when I select these items to export them to a standard list, I want them shown ALL in one General category.

I use categories to easily find an item to ADD to the list, not to shop.

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Thanks, updated...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Well, if I can't reproduce the issue than I cant fix it.

Can you tell me in what way those items differ than others?

Than you can easily change it.

After you add all the items to the shopping list, go to the "Edit Shopping List", "Menu->Check-All", "Menu->Edit", and change them all to the same category...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:
@Amir

Everything works fine so far!Great!:eek:

maybe some nice improvements/suggestions:

- possibility to copy/cut/paste items from one categorie to another, in a way/option: to select more items at once from different categories!

- select some items at once from different categories and copy them to clipboard, paste them in a mobile text or word-doc, then print them.

- when you copy several items to a list (Saved Lists), after pasting in the list you don't have the time to check the pasted items, because the programm redirects you back.Would be very useful/easier when you past items in the list, to went back by pressing the "back-button" by yourself.

- delete all items from a saved list whitout deleting the list itself.

- i don't now if it's possible but would be very useful when the screensensivity could be programmed that you only could select/deselect items by touching the checkbox itself, and not the whole item line with text included. Because when you in a hurry and scroll trough the items, it often happens that you will check/uncheck items which are not intented to select.This is especially difficult/annoying to a big list because I still detect a certain delay in selecting an item.

- hope there comes a time to create/design a complete skin with buttons and a background by yourself!

Aren't different cab-files (QVGA/VGA/WVGA)not a sulotion for that issue ??????

Is there something to update in the translation for V.3.30, can't find it!:confused:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Kaudii:
What you can not find it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
You can do that today...

This is how it was at first, than someone asked if it is possible to select the whole line instead just the check-box.

I guess I can add an option, so everyone will be happy...

No I dont want to manage multiple cabs, one cab to rule em all...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Yes I will in next version, however, you must use the Tiny Green skin for this resolution.

If you send me your email by PM, I'll send you a test version so you can test it out...

Oooops! You catch me! Ok. Lets compromise: you make font size bigger in main menu, but please test it with russian language, because it has more words on bars, but I promise buy only 10 atomic bomb! :D

P.S. How to load saved list and go shopping with it? I'm completely lost...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pandabeibei:
thanks for sharing

i only get the v2.2
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
With a file editor, edit the file TinyGreen-skin.ini (which is in <where you installed the app>\Skins\TinyGreen folder) and than change the FONT_STYLE to normal or bold

You dont load a list, you always use the Shopping List

The saved lists are used to get items from them to the shopping list, if you want all items, enter a saved list, select ALL, and than copy them to the shopping list...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Why only the 2.2??
[Windows Mobile Software Development] keenkof:
Nice, nice, nice...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] luckyuser:

That would be great!

Just dropping in to congratulate you on a very nice piece of software. I do have one question, just started playing with it and I found out I can store by recipe by using multiple lists (I like). But me being a spoiled user in need of eye candy was wondering if it will be on the road map to be able to add a picture to the recipe (like my girlfriend has on her <censored>). It has a very slick feeling to it, I was very impressed,

Had some more time to play around with it some more today :) and I noticed a that the import fuction isn't able to detect the export.txt if it's more than two folders down (I have it stored in \Storage Card\Media\S-List\export.txt). Another thing I noticed when I edited the export list on my computer is that ë (and probably other characters as well) isn't supported.

I also have an idea for a different kind of listing system, which I wanted to share with you:

What if:

Instead of several list you would have one (language specific) Masterlist.txt that would have all the items in it. The you could use the masterslist to make seperate lists or recipes + photo in the same manner is we do now. The number of items or the weight would only be added to the specific lists. To make it a little easier to scroll, a ABC side bar might be required in the masterslist. This would allow for items to only be added to one list, and then they could be internally reused for other specific lists. Another thing is the users on xda could help you make a language specific masters list, so that you would have most of the regular groceries right from first install.

Just a thought, but it could be nice :) I would be able to supply you with the Dutch masterlist.txt and I could help out with some graphics,

[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
That not me, that MS standard input file dialog...

Yes it is, when you save the file on your computer, if you use notepad, make sure that you do "Save As" and select the encoding (in the bottom of the Save As Dialog) to UTF-8

Well, you can always create only one saved list and call it "Master List"... :)

As for premade language-specific grocery list, if you wish please do so and post it here, if ppl are interested, I can post those lists the first post, so everyone that wish to will be able to DL a list.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 12aon:
Thanks for the swift reply, I will post the Dutch masterlist.txt as soon as I have finished it.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Having used this from early on, i decided to try and get a fuller grocery list, so i did the logical thing and headed for the online supermarket site and looked at their basket with a view to using copy/paste to create a list.

After i recovered from the surprise that the "favourite" items was pre-filled with the stuff I have bought over the last 12 months in store i copied it out and tidied it up in Excel prior to importing into the app. The surprise was due to the fact i have yet to shop online with them.

Importing it into the app has highlighted a problem, the supermarket categories have commas in them and the import routine interprets the second item as quantity.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Can you use an editor and replace the category commas with another character?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
That's what I have done. Excel tries to be clever and enclose the data in quotes which just confuses it more.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Can you post a sample data with the quotes? I can try to fix it at the import...
