Various other minor bug fixes.

Known Issues
Config App

Select Skin (EXE) is disabled and currently not supported

Adding new storage path doesn't allow entry of storage name.

Calendar filters and Task filters "Name" propery isn't currently implemented.

When adding a new weather city, if the "Name" field contains commas (,) then you will have to enclose the entire "Name" field in quotes ("). If you don't the metric option will not be correctly recognized.

Main Plugin

alphablended pngs in the imagemeter

Thanks for letting me know.

Was wondering when a new version was coming out.

lbabus · 12-21-03, 10:16 AM

Does the new version allow you to show tasks separately from calendar items?

I have been using two separate programs so they aren't interspersed, but the rumors of Task+ having a memory leak make me think it would be good to switch.

wow I love this app!! I just discovered it today. forget that POS journal bar, this rocks and is freeware

I installed TodayPlus, and when I go to the program and start it all I get is a blank screen. Does any one have a suggestion on why this is? I have it selected in the settings of my today screen. I also did a soft reset, and this did nothing.

joelw135 · 01-22-04, 12:22 PM

Did you select the Base Path to be TodayPlus? Also did you choose a skin in the config file?

Path and skin are default. However, you can't install it on a CF card. So you need to install it in the main memory.
It also has to be tagged as a plugin.

Peace,

And you have to go to start/settings/today/itmes and check the Today Plus box.

I realize what I did. I forgot to install the NETCFsetup.msi file. After I installed it, all is well. One note, I understand that there is an expiration date on the current 11.0 release. This too bad, I liked this program. If I have too keep installing a new release every 2 months, I will look for another similar software

joelw135 · 01-23-04, 08:24 AM

There isn't one that has as much. This is in beta at the time.

Hmm, I don't think you need the NET software for "TODAYPLUS" only for "CONFIG.EXE"

I don't think there is an expiration date neither.
But if there is one it doesn't matter it is freeware and still under developing.
I don't think there is similar software in one package.

Enjoy.
