Can´t connect Comapion to Pocket PC

I had to hard reset my PPC and then I reinstalled all software. everything it running fine except the My Shopping list.

My shopping list companion 3.2 is installed and show all my lists , and I do have My Shopping list 4.11 in my PPC ...

I try lo load the list to my device and it does not work.

It prompt a message: " CAN´T FIND SHOPPING LIST DATA FILE"

Does anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
If you have a registry editor, can you post the value in the

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MoDaCo\AppToDate\XML:My Shopping List

Also, is that value correspond to where the ShoppingListInfo.xml file is on your device?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BUGGIE_X:
I just checked it and it does correspond where the ShoppingListInfo.xml is located.:confused::confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
The program data is in ShoppingList.xml and not ShoppingListInfo.xml.

The ShoppingList.xml file is created the first time you run the ShoppingList application on the phone, run it once on the phone, save the file (if you wish, verify afterwards that indeed ShoppingList.xml was created).

Note that if you can install the application on the memory card this is a preferable method, as the data (ShoppingList.xml file) will not be erased when you do Hard Reset.

Does anyone have any idea as to how i can get the program to open with an unexpanded category list? I tried editing the language.ini in an effort to remove the general category, didn't work. the problem is that when starting the program in 'edit shopping list' mode it defaults to the general category and all my categories are expanded. this forces me to scroll down, in what has become a long list, to get to where i want to edit. would be much nicer if my categories were collapsed making it easier to find/select the category i want to edit. maybe i'm missing something? this is the only complaint i have, i really like everything else about this program!

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
This feature is already there.

First go into settings and make sure that "When selecting a category collapse all others"

Now go into the Edit Shopping List, If you, for example want to "jump to" the XYZ category, click on the category button, and select XYZ, all other categories will collapse, and the list will scroll to the first item in the XYZ category.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tomX2:
thanks amirdt,

i figured that out. i was hoping to eliminate having to click on the category button ('general'). i don't see the point. why not display the collapsed categories first? then you can choose your category from the first screen without having to navigate to another screen to choose your category. what advantage is there to navigating to another screen (general button) then making a choice from a list (*** category) only to arrive back to the same screen you started at? seems to me to be extra steps that are not necessary. just a suggestion. i was looking for a work around.

another alternative would be to display the collapsed 'categories list' first, instead of the other way around.

thanks again,

tom
[Windows Mobile Software Development] smeki_lx:
Thanks and a small suggestion!

Hello!

Thank you for this good shopping list, which is managed very well indeed!

Nevertheless, I have one small suggestion!

Perhaps you could create a core list of things and I mark it merely to buy the necessary things. If one now on "Shopping" button, you actually see only the selected items from the main list. This means I can see only the active things and then put them on the shopping done!

Now I always see all the things on the shopping list.

Sorry, maybe there is already a setting for this option. But I still have not found them!

Many greetings from germany!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
Hi amir,

nice to see that are allways here :). Do you have some news for us? I will do a new shot for the gui. A better GTX version then the 1st one. I hope this will go on for us...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bennyc320:
Hello,

Nice to meet you all, I am new to this forum.

I have a question I would like to ask about this app which I really want to use as it very suit my needs. I currently own a Samsung Omnia 2 (I8000), and my question is can this app be install under this phone??

I was looking at the screen shots, and I notice there are differences compare with my screen. (I currently use Winmo 6.5 pro)

I hope I can use this, but if it doesn't fit my phone is there an alternative app which someone can introduce me?? Thank you very much for the help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kistita:
hello!

can you help me? i have HTC HD2 two weeks ago, sorry if my ask is stupid... This aplication good only has windows 7 mobile, or possible is the HTC HD2 with windows 6.5?

I downloaded and setup, but don't started...:(

Thank you,

kistita
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
You have read the whole 1st posting?

You have read this in the 1st posting? = The application is using NETCFv35.wm.armv4i

You have installed NETCFv35.wm.armv4i on local memory?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] klimpetje:
suggestions

this is an app that could go big! i love it!:cool:

thanks for sharing

some questions:

for functionallity i would love to have the following, a possibility for a saved list with all things i could buy in 1 particular store: so a saved list supermarket a with bread and cheese, a second saved list with supermarket b with water and milk and beef. (maybe a 3rd list for a DIY store and so on)

now if in real life i go to supermarket b can select the items i want to buy that time (for instance beef and milk) from the saved list of that store and only after selecting the items to the shopping list i want to add the quantity (2 beef and 6 milk).

your version now lets save my list only with rigid quantities, but it's not always i want to buy that quantity every time i load my shopping list for a store! and a cannot change my quantity when loading (a part of) a saved list. hope you don't mind my suggestion and maybe you get some inspiration form this. :o

and maybe alkso a separate collumn for units. sometimes i want to buy 2 bottles and sometimes i want to buy 1 crate. or another example: salami sausage sometimes 1 kg somtimes 300 gram. You get it?

gram, kg, liter, bottle, unit, bag, piece, stuff like that
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
Hi amirdt,

have you news for us about your app? Any news about skins, or updates?

It will be fine to hear that your are allways alive here on XDA....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Version 1.3 released

* QVGA / WQVGA support

* Landscape support (see note bellow).

* Removed category bellow each item to save screen space.

Note: In the Manila SDK that I use there is a problem in the MessageBox in landscape mode, that can crash the program, so if you work in landscape - try not to get any error messages :D until I'll replace that dialog.

Guys with QVGA/WQVGA can you pleae report if all is working well? thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mr.hellmaker:
Thank you for a very useful app!

I would like to suggest another future: import shopping list from SMS.

The received SMS must have some defined structure (the same structure that the program sends) so that 2 people can use this program on their phones to sync shopping list (my wife prepares shopping list and sends me by SMS, I import the SMS into the program and use it for shopping).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
nice idea :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tito12:
Hi Amir

Here are some pics, I run Qvga (BTW I never had any issue with the older versions, I don't see any change in display)

Good you got rid of the 2nd line. My report:

1- What is that (-) icon and 1 in the field beside it?

2- The icons are not finger friendly in this resolution

3- Can you explain the logic of the function Hide Checked items: are checked items the ones you want to buy (as I believe) In that case I'd like to hide the unchecked items, so my list shows only what I want to buy.

4- What's the use of Send by SMS (which works BTW but keep in mind the limitation of characters in one message)

Edit just saw the suggestion above, this was the only use I could think of

It's becoming a full time job :) All the best!

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
Excellent work!!! Everything working extremely well on my Diamond and, IMHO, looks/works so much better with the category title removed from the item. One other suggestion. As the shopping list can get pretty long, maybe an option to send via SMS or email and picking email address or telephone number from contact list?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] roisagi:
in the about screen - it shows version 1.2...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
Amir,

Just made a small donation to you. Looking forward to making additional small donations as the app continues to advance. A special thanks to you for your responsiveness to suggestions and comments.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Many thanks mate :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Ops, forgot to update the about, but dont worry, its still 1.3... :)

To decrease the counter (only if the counter is of integer format.

You are right, though making them finger freindly on QVGA will take much of the screen.

When I am in the shop and start buying items, I check the Items I bought (or actually the ones that I put in the cart), so the option to hide them enables me to easily see all the items I still need to pickup.

As you almost always sending to the same person or two, opening the contact list every time seems not user friendly.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
True! Still, option to send longer than SMS-capable lists via email would be?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
I think that long SMS are automatically handled (splited over the air and merged again at the recipient) but anyway an email is also viable option :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
Automatic splitting/merging over the air would be wonderful. I'll check it out and report back.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tito12:
At last I understand what was that "copy items to other list" function!!!!:D

Amir, this is obvious to you because you are the developper, but without a manual, I couldn't understand why "Go shopping" gave me an empty list :eek:

At least consider to change this line to something like "Paste Items to Shopping list" ;)

Another suggestion in the same menu: the "delete" items is a killer, maybe add a warning before you delete the items by accident when all you wanted was to copy the 73 checked items to the other list :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
On Sprint, in the U.S., longer than 160 character SMS's are automatically split into appropriate shorter SMS and then delivered as multiple SMS's. I never knew that! The only minor drawback is that an item in the shopping list will probably be broken over 2 SMS's, as happened to me. With that said, I think an email option is at best very low priority.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Braakie:
Nice app, simple, clean and working well. I have one request, the phone numbers, can you add an option to the list of phone numbers to modify and/or delete numbers.

Thnx
[Windows Mobile Software Development] laser21:
Looks really cool! I went shopping with it today...the only issue - the screen keeps turning off ... :( Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
I am adding now the ability to edit lists.

Thanks for the language file, will be added to next version... :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Can you please explain more? when does it turn off?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nljuggler:
This could be quit handy, but it also needs some more work I guess.

Some comments / questions:

- How do I delete a saved list? (Other than editing the xml by hand)

- When exporting, the categories aren't exported along with it

So importing the it back in again, loses the categories AND the amount

- The string 'Name' when sms-ing isn't translated.

I made a Dutch translating, but Braakie beat me to it...

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
If you look in the todo list, editing lists is high in the list, I'll prob release that today or tomorrow if all will be OK, it requires alot of changes.

True, I'll correct that

Thanks for the feedback... :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
About the string Name not translated in SMS Sending, can you be more specific, I cant see that.

If you use German language, than "Name" is translated in the German language file as:

NAME=Name

If this is an error, please post the correct string, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Rataplan:
Thanks for the shopping list V1.4 and thks to braakie for the dutch translation.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
New version 1.4

*Ability to Delete/Edit all elements

*Added quantity & category fields to import / export

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dadi68:
Thanks, the proggy is great :)

Now you must replace the main buttons (Edit shopping list, saved lists etc) with pretty icons :D

Version 1.5

*Fixed severe bug in portrait-landscape rotation (this bug was introduced in V1.4)

*When selecting SMS target now it is possible also to select it from the phone-book

*Made sure that the built-in "General" category cannot be deleted or edited.

*Updated language files
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
OK, now I have had a chance to test it out a wee bit and especially now categories are importable, i thought I would briefly describe how i intend to use it for grocery shopping.

Create a master text file containing everything in the supermarket that I buy regularly, categorised by aisle.

Create a second entry in same file for alternate supermarket. Obviously Aisle numbers may be different

Import said file into MyShoppingList.

Go to "Edit Shopping List" and clear out anything that may have been left over from previous trips.

Go to "Saved Lists" and select the master list for the relevant supermarket.

Go down said list checking the items to be bought

Copy items to Shopping List.

On arrival at store "Go Shopping", having selected the menu option to hide when checked.

Sample List text file attached. Rename it to .csv and open in a spreadsheet program, makes it easier to copy categories, or in my case Aisle numbers, from line to line
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Really nice idea, the only problem I can see that you'll get strange 2 commas at the end of each saved list name.

If you want, I can remove those extra commas from saved list name at import time.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dadi68:
One request from me... :rolleyes:

Can you add the ability to change the order of the items please?

For example in the edit list panel i want to drag the 3rd item up or the 1st item down... :)

Thank you very much for the program - I love it!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lycox:
Okay, another request:

AppToDate support!

A small windows prog, where you can create/edit your shopping list and sync it between phone and pc

[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Yup, it's only on the list names themselves so no biggie. Removing them would be handy, suppose I could just search/replace the text file before I import it.

Thought my method would be useful for those asking for basic usage instructions.

Add one to the request for AppToDate support.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
I have added today support to AppToDate, but in my tests the AppToDate crashed, I posted a message at the developer's site, waiting for his response...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mstevens:
This is a very attractive application and quite promising.

We've spent years (I think about 8) building a detailed HandyShopper grocery list with 938 items. It imports into My Shopping List very poorly with various fields (quantity, notes, category, item name) all jumbled up.

I'm just not up to entering all these items by hand, so I'll check in as development progresses. If there's interest in looking at my HandyShopper export, I'll be happy to provide it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Sure mate, post here an export file (csv or similar textual format) and if needed, please explain the different fields.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Thanks mate.

In few places you left English text with the translation, is that necessary?

Examples:

SHOPPING_LIST=Κατάλογος αγαθών(Shopping λist)

CHECK=Επιλογή(Check)

Yes Amirdt, to make it clear, because some words have double meanning in Greek language.

Thank you for your effort. It's a nice application.

Great app!!!

One annoying thing for me though... Every time I check/uncheck an item the list jumps back to the top of the list and I have to scroll down again :confused:

Anything I can do, or is it in the app? Anyone else having this prob?

I mean, it is very good for every kind of list, why name it only after shopping?

Shopping is only one of the possibilities...

[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Loving the latest version.

Couple of things:

Is it just me or is that really nice background making it sluggish on the main menu screen?

Is it possible to make the "Hide when checked" setting sticky? Or is it and I have just missed something?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lycox:
Confirmed

For me, the new buttons doesn't look very nice :(

For the background it should be better, if it has more a watermark character :rolleyes: It steals the focus to much.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
The main bg screen is using a lot of transparencies and using of Alpha blending, which may indeed affect performance.

Option for "Hide when checked" sticky added to the todo list.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
I'll have a look at that
[Windows Mobile Software Development] User_99:
double post
[Windows Mobile Software Development] User_99:
Confirmed here too.

I liked the old (v1.5) one too, but maybe the new one not in blue would be also ok. :D

@Translation

Maybe it could be a good idea to have also the language.ini file as standalone download link here available. With that link it's easier to support the language file.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
How about a separate cab/cabs for the different languages?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amirdt:
Sorry, no way that every release I'll prepare 15 different cab files...

The language file are very small, but if you feel they take up too much space, you can easily delete the unneeded ones...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] O.a.T.:
'Fraid I didn't make myself clear. Meant 1 cab for program and a default language and 1 cab containing all the languages.
