I had the same problem. After some investigation I found that the method LateReader.LateReaderApp.GetFirstStorageCard did not return the correct value (do not know why). So I changed the code from

public void CreateLateReaderFolders()

{

string str = "Program Files";

string path = Path.Combine(GetFirstStorageCard(), str);

if (!Directory.Exists(path))

...

to

public void CreateLateReaderFolders()

{

string str = "Program Files";

string path = Path.Combine("Storage Card", str);

if (!Directory.Exists(path))

...

and now your program works without any more problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
"Storage Card" is not always the name of the storage card, that is why I do not use its name directly. Usually Network folders are perceived as Storage Cards as they have the same properties programmatically. If you have a Network folder mapped, this might be causing the problem. I will try to find a better solution.

By the way, this application is provided freely, but it is not open source software. I might do this open source, but at least it is closed source now. So please respect this and do not decompile it. I will add a note about this to the first post.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hugocbp:
I like it a lot! And have a lot of suggestions too. But at this moment things are a bit confusing here, so I can't spare some time to fully test and suggest thinks.

I've managed to open the list and see all my itens. Still trying to download them.

As soon as I settle everything, you can count on me to help develop the app.

PS.: You are famous now:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oruam57:
Yes, I have it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
Just as I guessed... I see on the Net that many developers struggle with this issue as well. Let us see what I can do with it....

Thanks for your feedback.

Mapped network drive

yes same here

gave me the exe IOException error.. i have 2 network drive mapped in resco file explorer .

wish can fix soon missed instapaper on my iphone..;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oruam57:
Maybe it would be simpler to add a option and ask the user for the location of the Data directory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] profahmad:
Me too, this explains why I had the issue. Good find!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
OK, I will do this. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leoparis:
thank you very much for all the hard work you have done! this is already the most used application on my hd2.

i asked for this feature before but i think it would be great if the program rendered pages keeping the non-text elements, at least the simple tables, small figures etc. i use the program to read some technical blog articles that often has tables and small relevant figures offline. if i can see those, i think this will be only program i need :)

is it possible to have dictionary support? most of the people have dictionaries on their phones. if we can look up the words directly by selecting the word that would be plain awesome.

cheers

=== and some stuff in turkish

bu arada ben de turkum. cok basarili bir calisma. devamini diliyorum. gurur duydum, dogrusunu soylemek gerekirse.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
Hi leoparis,

thanks a lot for your very encouraging comments. Actually I was not aware of the Read It Later service before I started developing this app (in response to zefiltrin/hugocbp's request), but now this is one of the most used applications for myself as well. Marking items for reading while at work or while at home on the desktop/laptop computer, and then reading on the HD2 later when I have time is so much fun and useful for me. :)

About your requests;

I will add your requests to the first post and try to implement them. For the dictionary integration feature, may I ask you which dictionary program(s) you use, so that I can start integrating first with those apps.

Teşekkürler... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leoparis:
Asil ben tesekkur ederim! :D

It's great that you're open to suggestions. i hope they are not difficult to implement (it's easy for us non-programmers to make requests :) ). I have SlovoEd installed (one of the better relatively finger-friendly applications for winmo).

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drast-x:
Hello,

It worked like a charm... but only for the first time :(

Now when i connect with WiFi or ActiveSync it just doesnt sync :(

I have Samsung Omnia i900

Keep up the good work,

drastx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
With the version 0.1.0 it is not very easy to tell what went wrong, because the app does not display progress or status messages during sync in this version. :)

But the good news is, I am almost done with the next version (0.2.0), and this version will provide progress/status messages as well as many other improvements. I hope in this version you will be able to see at least what the problem is.

In the meantime, can you please delete \Storage Card\Program Files\LateReader\Data folder and try again. That might provide us with some clues about the problem.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirhc7:
AppToDate support?

Hi Vizier.

Still loving LateReader! As I suppose (and hope!) that your app will be frequently updated, any chance you could add AppToDate support?

Cheers,

Chris.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EazyVG:
Great stuff ... hope to see progress with this app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drast-x:
Hey, well, thats great! :) I can't wait for new version (:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
Good suggestion, added to the todo list.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirhc7:
Vizier,

Just read read what's coming in v0.2.0 - can't wait! Really appreciate your work on this, as it's something I really wanted and already use every day. Can't believe the forum isn't filling up with comments/thanks - maybe people just don't know about it?

I especially like the planned "-Add option to select max number of next pages to follow (depth of download)".

If I may suggest one other thing if it isn't too difficult: making text selection, copying and maybe highlighting possible. I use it for research, and this would make a big difference. (An incorporated notepad that you could automatically save text too would be really fantastic, but I fear that is asking a bit too much!)

As for dictionaries, I'm sure you know about mdict, which is very good, free and can include wikipedia in varying file sizes, and there is also a good Russian one called dict, located at: http://free-dict.narod.ru/download.html, which is free and works very well - it's the one used by Alreader ebook reader (which is excellent, BTW).

Sorry to keep suggesting things that I have no idea how to do myself! Much appreciate your efforts on this.

Cheers,

Chris.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
Thanks again for your very good suggestions. I will add them to my to do list. As for the new version I am having difficulties with my development computer, so I will have a release as soon as I have a up and running development environment again.

Also about the people not knowing the RIL service, I completely agree with you. I myself was unaware of how useful such a service could be until I started this development. People just need to give it a go and a few days, then I guess many people would be addicted. OK whatever....

Please continue suggesting... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NSider:
I've been checking this thread constantly for updates for the past few weeks, great work!

So when is the next version coming?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
It was meant to be a few days earlier, but I had some issues with my computer. I am trying to fix it, and the release will be as soon as I do that. :cool:

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l0nEr:
Thank you very much for the hard work! Been waiting for the new version too! (: Hope your computer is fine.

Just curious, my sync seems to be working only one way (Readitlater --> Phone) and not the other way. As in my phone is updated with the latest things in the Readitlater list, but it doesnt update what i have "marked as read" on the phone. Is this normal?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirhc7:
Very pleased and grateful you've already put touch navigation into the next version, Vizier. Now, at the risk of being greedy!, could I also suggest (if you have the time!) splitting the screen into quadrants - so for example upper left touch on the screen goes PageUp, lower left PageDown, upper right is Home (takes you to the top of the current page) and lower right is Back.

Vade Mecum (ebook reader) has this system, and also Alreader (in fact Alreader you can customise into nine different areas, but this is perhaps overkill!)

Very excited about LateReader, so hope suggestions aren't too much. Can't wait for the update.

Thanks as always!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
Hard coding the tapping behaviour you suggested is very easy actually, but I guess not everybody will like it that way. So I will add an item to my todo list for implementing configurable page region tap actions.

By the way I have released the new version, check the first post please.

Thanks..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirhc7:
Thanks, that's great - will download the new version forthwith!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spyrale:
thanks for the update vizier, you have done an amazing job with this app!

feature request: you know that we have to use multiple browsers, because some sites are good for one browser, others need a different browser...so, do you think is possible to add the choice of multiple installed browsers for external viewing? hope i explained myself :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
OK, I will add this to my todo list, but I am afraid this one will not be one of the first priority items :(

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
Sorry for the late reply, I just remembered that there was this post which I have not replied yet... :)

Syncing should work twoways. One way syncing is not normal and not something intended.

Please download the new version from post #1 as this new version deals with read items more like the official RIL apps. This would eliminate confusions.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirhc7:
If you install JZ SmartMort from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=382043, it gives you the option to open a link in the browser of your choice, before automatically using your choice of default browser. Has some other tools, too. Very useful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spyrale:
this will come in handy, thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] palmerfr:
Thanks for the good job.

I have downloaded the newest version and seems to have an issue.

After Autheticating, I got the following error message: "ERROR: Could not establish connection to network"". I find it strange to get this error message as the program was able to sync once to get a list of articles, but then has the error message when syncing articles.

The network seems also to work as I receive my mail and Opera browser works fine.

Am I the only one to get this error?

My config: HTC HD2 WM 6.5.3 French
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
This is really strange... Do you face the issue in a consistent and repeatable manner, or is it a randomly occuring issue?

Also can you access readitlaterlist.com from another program (opera etc.) while you are having the issue?

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] palmerfr:
Thanks for your quick answer.

I confirm it is systematic. I have access to readit later website through Opera mobile.

Thanks for your help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
Can you provide some detailed information about your device, rom and .net cf version that might provide us with some clue.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] palmerfr:
I finally reinstalled the whole thing and deleted all the preferences in the folder. And guess what, it is now working...

Once again , thanks for this nice piece of software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
I am glad the issue is resolved. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirhc7:
Thanks for the new version - love the touch navigation!

One bug I seem to have is that if I go to another application while reading an item, when I return to LateReader it has gone back to the LateReader home page, so I have to open the article again.

And you asked for more suggestions, so here goes:

An option to not have full screen - so that the clock is visible etc. I use WKTask, so I have icons for other open apps on the system bar, making it very easy to multitask...

It's great having the progress bar running down the right side of the screen; any chance it could be a bit wider and therefore more visible?

An option to sync all items would make usage much faster, and/or having checkboxes for each item (and ideally a select all/select none checkbox, too) - to select which ones to download. Would be great if the checkboxes could also be used to delete and archive articles as well.

I really hope you don't mind me suggesting so much work for you. LateReader is already fantastic after just two releases: it will quickly become a real must-have!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hugocbp:
I'm very happy to see the app evolving.

Downloading the new version right now!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hsmcd:
Nice one, finally it's here. I am gonna try this out :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nikoskavliaris:
how to read me file?

i don't wanna sound stupid. and i haven't looked at the whole thread. but is it any read me file of how to use the program. i'm not very familiar with the read me later app from iphone. so if you have a tutorial of how to use the program that would be great. sorry or the noob request and questions. the app is very good and looks very clean and professional. you are doing a very good job providing us with an app like this for free. keep doing the great job is much apriciated!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
How to use the program...

Before using this program you should make yourself familiar with the read it later concept. Please check readitlaterlist.com in order to do this.

Actually the idea is very simple and the typical usage scenario is this: you start browsing on your desktop/laptop and mark some pages for reading later. Later, when you have time you check your reading list and read the pages.

when you are familiar with the concept, using the application will be straightforward.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Raptordin:
I love this app so much.

I do have a suggestion, why not hid the typed passwords as onlookers can not see me type them in.

Also, how can I publish via Twitter or face book. In the settings I enter my credentials but The option to test the account is grayed out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
I added password masking in the first post as a BUG/Annoyance.

Sharing functionality is not implemented yet, that is why the button and also the menu items in the popup menus are disabled.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dr_marion:
since I've upgraded to 0.2.0, I'm unable to sync..

authentication it works, but it retrives nothing, even if I've a lost of URLs there..

I've downgraded back to 0.1.0, and retrived all the items correctly.

Upgraded to 0.2.0, it retrives just one item (instead of 11)..

Downgraded to 0.1.0 once again, still working..

any suggestion ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dc41:
Can not mark content on mobile version, Correct?

If I've understood all the posts so far, the posting of content is restricted to a PC. The LaterReader app is just a way to access the content you saved to your account on another machine. Is this correct?

If so, are there any plans to add the ability to load websites, etc. from WM?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
Yeah, adding items on the device is in my todo list (check the first post). However, naturally adding items on the device is not very comfortable. I will try to implement a comfortable way for this by integrating with the installed browsers.

Thanks for your comments.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
In version 0.2.0, handling of Read items is changed. The new way of handling Read items is like the official web-based RIL application. If you mark an item as Read and then sync, this item will not be shown in your list thereafter. You can access the item in the Archive.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dr_marion:
thanks for reply, but all my items are not marked as read, but I'm unable to see them from the client with 0.2.0.

Now I've added a new item, synced, and I can see it..so probably re-adding all the items will solve..not handy, but effective.:o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qaplus:
Great application!!. Truly useful addition to windows mobile platform.

One small qustion: is it possible to install pictures for offline reading? Many web pages have critical information in diagrams.

Hey. I have been using v0.20 with no problems until recently, there was suddenly an error regarding .NET CF. Only part of the message is shown, so im not too sure what it is about. But i guess it has something to do with .NET CF being disabled.

I tried to install a new version of the .NET CF v3.5 but it claims that i have a newer version installed already and hence do not allow me to do so. (mine is a custom rom .NET CF 3.5.9085.0 ROM)

However, somehow i managed to install NETCFv35.messages.en.wm.cab downloaded from the xda website. Now it shows me another error: Could not establish connection to network.

I have tried reinstalling Latereader, deleting my settings, but the problem still persist.

Any ideas how i can 'enable' my .NET CF again? Or solve the current problem? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirhc7:
The thread has gone a bit quiet - any news on the next release, Vizier?

Hey, in case anybody is facing the same problem as me. I uninstalled and deleted every file from the directory (not just the settings file).

However, the problem seem to keep recurring after a few reinstallation. I have installed a new rom and it still happens. Anybody else facing such problems, or is it just me and my old omnia?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lamzor:
perfect app

first, let me to thank you for this lovely app. i just started using readitlater and just the fact that i can read anything "on the go" is superb.

there is small bug i found, not rly sure what is the problem or if it was already shown in this forum.

please see screenshots below.

im using energy ROM for HTC Diamond2(topaz) found here on forums.

main(home) screen is OK. every other screen shows artefacts.

additionaly, i would like to ask if there is option to sort feeds(items) by tags(as in firefox addon - tags browser).

im not sure what "Tags Chooser (like in blog page tags)" means, in case that it is the same thing, forget about it, i will keep waiting.

Auto Sync

Great app, I've been looking for something like this for WinMo for a while - thanks! :)

Under Sync Settings, the Auto Sync section are all greyed out. Is this for future use or am I missing something? :confused:

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
I do not know the reason but this happened to me with some custom ROMs, as far as I remember Leo Energy ROM with Dinik Glass icons was one of them. I will investigate the issue more when I have time. Thanks.

Yes Auto Sync is not implemented yet.

It has been a very long time since the release of the last beta version, so people deserve some explanation I guess :) I was on a long business trip followed by a holiday with my family. I am planning to start working on the new version as of today.

OutOfMemory Exception

Hi,

I really like this app since the time I bought my Windows phone (Omnia II).

There's one thing which happends time to time 30-50%) - OutOfMemory exception is thrown while starting (there's still 50 - 70 MB free). The only way how to start the app afterwards is to restart the phone. Is the app really so memory consuming, or is it just my case?

Thanks for your reply!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drast-x:
Have you tried lvl 3 clearRAM by HTCaddicts? Should help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kajinek32:
Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately, I've tried it before... (and it doesnt help so much).

Anyway, I donˇ't thing the LateReader needs more than 50MB for running, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rodrigoccurvo:
Hi,

I tried to run both versions on my Samsung SGH-i617 (Blackjack II, WM 6.1) but none worked, I get an error as soon as I start it, nothing else shows up.

Attached are the screenshots for the error. I use the phone in portuguese, so where you see "em" means "at".

Things I checked:

- .NET CF 3.5 installed

- Directory structure and files seems to be fine (didn't check in details)

- Tried changing language to en_US (I use pt_BR)

Any thoughts?

I have been trying Android builds lately. Actually I see great potential on the HD2 Android builds, and I am afraid I will be a daily Android user soon enough.

However, I am planning at least one more release of Late Reader for WM before I start developing for Android.
