Agendus v9 Beta

Dwinget posted the above on December 2nd - build 470.

On December 3rd the final was "released," and it was build 473.
Curious to me how they did 3 builds in one day after taking about 2 weeks per build beforehand. I checked my "account info" page, listing the 4 Iambic products I've paid for . . . . and sure enough I'm being charged $9.95 for the upgrade.

Also bear in mind that this is now a 1.4MB application.
1.4MB. For a calendar. The total combined size of:

AcidImage Pro, TealDoc, Kinoma, and MobileDB4!!

And it'll still have bugs, probably still with alarms . . . and it'll cost you $9.95. They've "added stuff," some of which is cool and I'd use . . . but have they fixed the old problems and what new ones lie ahead?

Send in your $9.95 and find out, I guess. If everything's fixed and the new features work (I've studied the screenshots and they're impressive,) then Mooseman has a point . . . they've earned it. I just have to decide if ANOTHER 50% JUMP IN SIZE is worth it for a free-time grid and TinyChart (which I already am used to being a registered TinySheet user). The photos in memopad thing and the "matrix" don't do much for me as contact photo linking at least in 8.06 took up 62k for one LINK - even though the original jpeg in the DCIM folder was only 28k!!

What should have been done is a simple "link" to AcidImage or the viewer of your choice. I've done a lot of "tweaking" in my 8.06 version in the last week, and I must say it is a FANTASTIC program - but so are a lot of others and they don't "weigh" one and a half meg. This has to be one of the very largest Palm apps ever written at this point. And it's still a CALENDAR. Tough call for me.

Agendus v9 Beta

Fixes over the previous build:

- crash when going to hierarchy view for some users, additional checks added as needed for the completion status filtering
- crash when attempting to attach a particular JPG photo
- for consistency "Photo Display" in the Show Options dialog changed to Show Photos
- using Power Search to search for only memos failed
- text in Power Search dialog changed from "Include" to "Include Only" for better clarity
- added NEW MEMO to the tap and hold popup dialog in contact view
- added New Memo to the menu in to do, call and meeting dialogs (menu option not yet working, will fix soon)
- French localization: preference popup menu had Memo item missing
- Spanish localization: some text is off the left side of the screen in the Preferences > Meetings screen
- Spanish localization: improved translation for Roll-Over

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try Teal Mover and see how it works.

Agendus v9 Beta

I'm with you, Captain D. 8.06 it is!!

When you "raised the stack" for Java (bear in mind I don't use it so I'm stabbing in the dark here) - and it didn't stick --

Are you raising the "requested stack memory" from the system? If you are, TealMover allows you to do that AND IT STAYS - becomes permanetnly imbedded in the app and then backs up to the backup folder (make a folder in "Archive" for "AppName+StkBoost").

While you're at it, boost Agendus from 3300 to 6,000 (it will require you say "yes" to creating a file for it -- just say yes!)

I notice that the DEFAULT on most apps is 3300, Tealpoint apps are written at 4096, and I boosted Agendus & MobilDB4 to 6,000, upped AcidImage a little, and boosted Bonsai to 4096. Smooth as silk especially when opening DA's up while that app's working. I would imagine the Java would get a benefit, too.

You don't want to go hog wild and "up" everything - just those apps that are little more "intense" or might be used while a desktop accessory is running - shields them from "brain cramp" a little. Thought it might help you with the "java no stickie" problem.

Agendus v9 Beta

I just noticed that a new beta of Agendus 9 has been posted today.

Refinements / Fixes:

- Show Due Date now enabled by default in to do view (fresh install required to see this new default pref)
- licensing error message issue avoid for scenario when installing multiple v9 beta versions with demo code over v8 activated version
- completed to dos in the hierarchy now only shown if uncompleted lower level to dos related to this to do are uncompleted
- crash when going to week list view with particular combination of the number of records and low memory conditions existed, memory constraints tweaked to avoid this
- corrected transparency on alarm icon in views when row was highlighted
- crash when using power search with string and a icon in build 467
- crash when creating icon and there are 0 icons in that database
- private to dos were shown in matrix mode of to do view when security set to mask
- free time finder listed available time slots when constraints were impossible
- Treo 650/Tungsten T5: dpad center press and hold in to do view now opens tap and hold menu
- Sony UX: display error with SIP when show graffiti area while editing was disabled and SIP down and new memo created
- tap and hold options on memo for beam, send and delete are now enabled


I uninstalled version 9 and reinstalled version 8.06. I also had to raise the stack value for the Java plugin. Somehow, the number decreased after I tweaked it last time. No more crashes.

Agendus v9 Beta

Yes. Bonsai's "Back2Bonsai" does the same bracket thing with a Bonsai link, which is why I copy and paste it into the NOTES section of an Agendus-created repeating to do; then I get the repeating to do with the Bonsai link.

The workaround for the Bonsai link for Agendus IS IN FACT TO place it in notes, but it doesn't work correctly unless you create a NEW AGENDUS to-do and then paste the link from the Bonsai crated to do IN THAT AAgendus one. If you stick with the Bonsai-crated to-do, it will revert to "NO date" on hotsync.

Yikes. Fortunately I don't need this often, but can see from my limited use that the brackets cause a big pain!

Agendus v9 Beta

Datebk5 also adds a set of brackets [ ] to a contact when linking them which causes some issues although not resets. It prevents Agendus from opening a contact when the brackets are in place on the contact detail within an appointment.

Agendus v9 Beta

and another $10!!!!!
