	It is pretty near; the current alpha seems to be going well, and
is most of 1.5; I'm goign to release another alpha today with I think all
of the features of 1.5, and then another tomorrow with cleanups and
finishing off. Then it'll sit in alpha for a couple of days, then it will
be announced here and in the shadow-discuss mailing list for you guys to
publicly beta test. After a week of that (and me working on manuals, etc),
it'll go public.

	So you ought to see it maybe monday or tuesday, in beta form.

Life Balance 2.5.1 has a nice way of doing this.  You can set up an 
option that any todo item with a category of x would be 
coppied/linked to LB Outline Y.  Therefore you could freely input 
todo's anywhere (Datebook4, Outlook, ect..) and know that they would 
be imported into LB the next time to started the app.

I never liked the idea of wasting a category like that; if you wan
tto import into 5 or 6 lists, you lose 5 or 6 categories? We were thinking
of note contents, or title text text.. (if it has "FOO:", then import into
Shadow list XX, and delete the FOO: part). That might be more useful, but
a little trickier..

	I've just built the ability to copy into shadow an item from the
todo or datebook databases (and optionally link back to it). Ought to work
well enough for now, and I'll do auto importing in a bit..

Subject: The "don't save until I hit done" "feature"

I know it has a purpose.  I have read you describe it.  I can't explain it, but it has felt dangerous to me since I first noticed its behaviour.  It just stung me.

Before you read any more, the sting MAY have occurred because I am using 1.4.11, I don't know, but either way, if this feature was changed, I don't think I would have been stung.

I am talking about the fact that when I go to "edit" a note, I am not really editing it.  I am editing in never never land, and NONE of what I am doing has any effect unless I hit the "done" button.

Why does this bug me?  Well, literally dozens of times, I have found myself editting a note and then I needed a phone number or info from another app.  I hit the button to switch apps, I switch back to shadow plan, and NONE of what I was working on is saved, it is all lost.  Yes, I know, it is PEBKAC, and I should just learn to do better, but it sure sucks when it happens.  I use peditpro a TON, and it doesn't act like this.  I guess peditpro has sortof trained my activities, and I am trying to untrain myself in using shadow plan because I have to be more careful or it throws my data away.

But the problem I just had is far more sinister.  I was editting a note, and had reached its maximum limit.  I literally couldn't add a single other character (yes, I know this is a limitation, no big deal there).  Someone stopped by my desk, I was talking to them for a second, meanwhile, the unit turned itself off.  Then I turn it on and hit the done button, and it crashes, losing 100% of the data I was editting.  I know this may be my palm, my hacks, it could be anything.  I don't fault shadow plan in the crash.  What I do not like is that it didn't save ANY of my data.

I find myself being stung by this quite a lot.

Is there ANY way you could make a configurable preference setting that lets shadow plan act like the normal inbuilt applications?  If I create a new addressbook entry and only enter the first character, it saves it when I switch to another app.  The same is true of memo pad, todo, you get the idea.  Shadow plan is the ONLY application I have this problem with and lately it is really bugging me.

Sorry to vent, but I just lost 16K of data I am gonna have to put back in.  I envision myself "saving often" by hitting "done" and then re-editting my note, scrolling to the bottom to start typing again, just to try to keep this from happening again. . .

	Its not a bug; its published and by design. Its just not
necessarily desirable ;) (sorry about your data though :( Shadow saves
when it is desirable to do so. In this one case, when editting some
details (any of the item details), Shadow doesn't know if what you've
editted is a mistake or not, and doesn't save when you exit, since it is
unsure of your intentions.

	1.5 will have a safe guard. One of two options:

(1) When you exit Shadow, while in a detail window, it will automatically
assume you hit "done" and save the item as is

or

(2) When you exit Shadow while in a detail window, Shadow pops up an alert
saying "WAIT! Do you wish to save your changes?", thus allowing you to
make it happen.

	I'm leaning towards (2) right now, but it may be the user always
wants to do (1), so thats an option. Any votes?

	PEBKAC?

	Most apps don't have as much "state" (data per window or other
context) so they don't need to worry.. they just save and don't
worry. Since Sahdow has editting in another window, it complicates things
:(

	It crashed when you hit done? In the note edit screen in
particular? I will investigate.. if its a bug, I will fix it for 1.5 (and
I'm sorry that it happened to you :(

	Many applications are like this, actuslly. The built in apps are
rather simple, and always do editting inline onscreem, so its much easier
asnd more natural for them to do so.

	But I agree.. Shadows behaviour as is is uncool. Its the last
thing for me to add to 1.5 before it goes into release testing.

Hrm.  So if I am in shadow plan, and I hit the phone button on my 
palm, it is going to pop open a window asking if I want to save 
changes?  Well, I suppose I could deal with that.  I would prefer it 
just saving it.  I guess it might help me if you could explain like 
WHAT circumstances would exist where I wouldn't want to just have it 
save?  I mean, I like the concept of an undo, but more like an 
actual "UNDO" function.  The way it is, it is like a forced undo.  It 
is almost like you are popping up a question saying "Are you sure you 
don't want to undo this edit?".  It is probably just how I am looking 
at it.  I figure I am missing something here. . .

Yes, in the note screen.  I am not upset about the loss of data 
really.  Life goes on.  I am a software developer too, I know how 
hard some bugs can be to track down, trust me.  I just (personally) 
wish the "assumed undo" wasn't in place.  That's all.

Jeff, as I said before, life goes on.  I do appreciate that you will 
be changing this functionality though.  It is the only thing I have

I have commented on this in the shadow-test forum.  I concur with 
verxion.  I would really like the addition of a buffer to hold the 
contents of the one open unsaved screen, and let the entire app save, 
including the "unsaved" changes in the buffer whenever you switch 
apps.  Even though it is more work to implement, the intuitive 
behavior for an app should be that NOTHING is lost unless you 
specifically approve it.

Subject: Shadow Questions

I've finally read through all of the manual for Shadow 1.4.  I've got a few
questions.

1) Are there any limits to a)the number of lists b) the number of items in a
list, or c) the number of levels in a list?  Or is it only limited to the
amount of memory you have?
2) In your manual, you asked for our thoughts on where the Indent Priority
Bubble should be located.  I know you have the option available, but my
personal preference is to indent it with the item.
3) An "real" UNDO option would be much more preferable over the "Revert to
last" option you currently have.
4) When creating a new item and linking it to the ToDo, it would be nice to
be able to specify the category that it gets put into.  It seems to default
to the Unfiled category.  I look forward to the ability to link to an
Address - I understand you've added that in v1.5.  I use TealPhone - will it
matter - or have you programmed popular phone apps into the program like you
did for datebook & todo apps? (ie DateBk4 & ToDoPlus)
5) I'm really looking forward to a desktop conduit.  My purpose would be for
the ability to edit and print my Shadow Plans as well as easily
cutting&pasting to other apps as required.  Is the conduit in v1.5?
6) How much bigger do you expect v1.5 to be?  (ie kbytes)
7) Finally, you referred to v 1.4.10 and 1.4.11 which I understand are beta
or works in development.  Are these available to registered users for
testing?  If so, where can they be downloaded?

Thanks Jeff!  Shadow is my *most useful* app I have.  I use it for

Actually they are alpha works.  You can download and test by joining 
the shadow-test group at 
http://shadow.skeleton.org/mailman/listinfo/shadow-test

You should understand that alpha versions can be unstable.  For 
instance, don't try 1.4.10.  It causes a variety of fatal exceptions.

With that in mind, I will say that 1.4.12 is awesome.  It is the core 
of 1.5, soon to be released as beta, and has much of the linking in 
place that Jeff has promised...  He really outdid himself with this 
one!

	Memory; once you go past 8 or 9 sublevels, Shadow starts warning
you, I think (unless I turned that warning off, since Zoom makes it not
really as relevant). But you can actually go quite deep (sure, it wont'
draw on screen, but that never hurt anybody ;)

	You can have as many lists as you like, limited by palm storage
memory. You can have as many items as you like, limited by palm dynamic
and storage memory (ie: a few hundred itms in original palms, to many
thousands of items in newer palms). You can also link files together, if
you ever run into a memory limit.

	Some folks still like it one way or the other, so I've left it in
for the custom views.

	Yep; a real undo won't be available for awhile.. its a very
complex operation to integrate.. slows things down a little, and if not
done exasctly perfectly, is very very bad. So I'm waiting until other
super important things are out of the way.

	Very basic todo category support may show up in 1.5; if not, then
an early 1.5.x will have it. The new link manager allows you to link to
addresses and memos (and eventually docs, applications, you name it). You
can set a specific program for each type of file you link to.. so if you
like to addresses, it defaults to the address book, but you can override
to whatever you like.

> 5) I'm really looking forward to a desktop conduit.  My purpose would be for

	1.5 includes the one way backup conduit and installer (for
windows, I have no MAc environment yet). So after installing in windows,
you'll automagicly get both the shadow pdbs (that you get now), as well as
XML files of your shadow lists. Many peopel are already doing neat things
with the XML, hwoever soon after 1.5 I'll release some translator apps to
turn the XML into HTML, RTF, and other useful formats. This gets you easy
printing and editing.. but still doesnt' get the data back to shadow. You
can also, on palm, export to DOC now, to do printing and editting, and
once I add import from DOC, you coudl perhaps import back in, to some
extent.

	Once the translators are out, I'll work on two way sync and the
actual desktop application.

> 6) How much bigger do you expect v1.5 to be?  (ie kbytes)

	Its getting a bit large, so I'm thinking baout options in the
future; it might be time to start breaking it up into loadable modules, so
you can skip the things you don't need. 1.5 will be about 150k (but all
useful and good!). Future versions may have modules (like graphing and
such)

	All Shadow releases (alpha, beta, public) are available to
everyone. They all end up in one directory on my server for downloading,
but I prefer for tose interested in alphas to join shadow-test, and betas
to join shadow-discuss (list or forum), so they know the implications and
caveats (especially with alphas!). -test is for early discussion about new
features.. so when I start bulding somethign new, we fight it out there,
so they get earlier input into the design and workings of things. Once its
been tested in -test for awhile until stable, I make a beta. They usually
see it first, and if good, I inform -discuss, and once everyone there
likes it, it goes public. -discuss will get the 1.5 beta in a few days,
likely.

I think that Shadow should copy the note to another buffer and edit that
buffer. When the user switches to another app, save the state of that
buffer. When Shadow is reactivated start the app back at that buffer. If the
user chooses to cancel then throw away the buffer and the original text is
unaffected.

If this is not possible or desirable due to memory constraints, then you
should at least have an option to "auto-save" automatically (option '1'
above). This is consistent with other Palm applications (like DateBk4).

Subject: Expand to move screen up/Collapse to move down

I noticed that if I have a list item at the bottom of the screen that is
collapsed, and I click to expand it, it expands, but does not move up on the
screen so I can see the children.  I still have to scroll down to see the
children.  Is this by design?  Is this changed in v1.5?

Likewise, if I have an expanded item with the parent at the top of the
screen (and no other parents below it), then I collapse it, the list items
(parents) don't move down to fill the screen - ie) I have to scroll up to
see the items abve it.  It leaves a lot of blank space in the list view.
Am I explaining this right?  Any comments?

Its a little by design, and a little on "no ones has really

screen movement.. it makes your eyes lose their spot, and I don't like
that. IF the screen moves, it should be by your command.

	Conversely, its nice to keep lots of information onscreen. Perhaps
its best to mvoe the screen to keep mroe useful stuff there.

When Shadow expands/collapses, my eyes lose their spot anyway...

I agree with Jim and the other posters on this topic. Auto-saving 
your work in progress when switching off your device or launching a 
different application seems to be a fairly common and accepted 
practice. And I certainly concur that it is at least desirable.

I (like Joe) often make a little side step to the address book or 
other applications while working in Shadow (or any other app for that 
matter) and expect none of my work in progress to be lost.

Weighing the two "risks" against eachother (loosing information you 
just entered or inadvertently overwriting your existing data) I think 
that the former is the most serious and will occur most frequently.

Even though the built-in Palm applications may be simpler than 
Shadow, the philosophy behind the inner workings is what made them 
such a huge success to begin with. In that light (and adopting 
the "Windows paradigm" that a consistent behaviour across all 
applications makes a platform easier to work with) I strongly opt for 
having my modifications saved at all times, unless I explicitly 
cancel or undo them.

Roy.

	This has always been the way with Shadow; just switching out while
in details didn't do it, since Shadow wasn't sure of your intention.

	The current alpha has a method to save the detail changes when
exitting, so it shoudln't be a problem in 1.5.

	I've never done it myself; I've always hit "OK" in every
application to return to the main view before switching. I must be a freak

I do that too with my Windows applications (even though they will 
start throwing "Are you really really sure?" messages in my face when 
I don't) but on the Palm I've grown accustomed to the fact that I 
don't have to tap away 6 layers of dialogs before I can launch 
MemoPad.

When you say "save the detail changes", will it still be in the specific
item detail or note edit mode when switching back to Shadow?  That's would
be my preference.  Also, if I then select Cancel, I would expect it not to
have saved.  I find McPhling/Switchack so handy I'm often switching back and
forth between Shadow & other apps for notes & reference.

	For 1.5, it will save your changes as if you hit OK on the various
screens to do so yourself. I'm runing short of time these days, so I'll
have to implement a better solution after 1.5.0 :(

Subject: Ability to turn list item into a new list

I'm a Palm power user, but a relatively new user of ShadowPlan. I'm 
firmly convinced it's final piece in my plan to run my entire magazine 
from a IIIc. With ShadowPlan as the front end to DateBk4, SuperNames, and 
MemoPlus, can world domination, er, continue to elude me? Jeff, if you're 
out there, keep doing a great job; you and Mr. Dewar are quickly becoming 
cyberheroes to me.

Having said that, here are two suggestions for your consideration: How 
about the ability to transform a list item (and attendant children) into 
a new list in and of itself (without cutting and pasting)? And, beyond 
this, the ability to merge two lists (again, without cutting and 
pasting)? These abilities would allow users to do less preplanning with 
regard to database and organization structure and allow more on-the-fly 
small lists that could be merged without undue effort.

Just a thought. Now that I've delurked, I'm braced for the helpful 
respondent that points me to the obscure menu item that I've overlooked. 
If it's not forthcoming, than do consider my suggestions. Thanks.

	I'm debating a "send to list" feature.. so you can request an item
(and children) go to a new list, or to another list. I've not decided how
much to support this (ie: "Send all checked to..." or is that
rediculous? The main reason for this is that the Archive code has to do it
anyway...

    No, if it doesn't "cost" too much, in memory or screen space {where
would you put the commands?},  it wouldn't be ridiculous. It'd  be quite
handy. Ummm, while you're at it, is there any way to import into a list? So
that we wouldn't have to create a new list then import it into the one we
wanted it in in the first place. Or would that be a function of that feature
anyway?

	Depends on your purposes; send-to strikes me as a one shot
deal.. the only advantage over clipping is you don't have to switch lists,
so it may save you time. But then, you might want to just use the clip in
multi mode and just keep copying onto it.. though that can use a lot of
memory.

	Importing I thought woudl be irrelevant ifI supposed send-to, so
you coudl go to lists, and jst send items to the target list. Or maybe
Import is different.. for importing memos and such into an existing
list. Or should I just offer a Merge feature, so you coudl improt using
the existing mechanisms, and then merge the lists. Oh so many options :)

	I'll wait till my head stops spinning from 1.5 before I get into
this :)

BETA WARNING!

This is *NOT* a public release. It is released with several specific
intentions in mind, so please read:

(1) I want you guys to have some fun, and you've been waiting 4 or 5 weeks
for this baby :)

(2) This version is the most recent we've been working on in shadow-test:
It *HAS* bugs though they are mostly cosmetic and detailed below. They
will be addressed before public release. However, I need your help to help
nail these bugs down -- if you see an oddity, LET ME KNOW! If something
bad happens, TELL ME!

I want 1.5 to be as super stable as 1.4, and I need YOUR HLEP to get it
that way! Try out all the new options, and all the old ones you assume
always work.. try everything! This version has been in testing for awhile
and is pretty solid.. but I'm hoping the large number of shadow-discuss
users can find more problems so that we won't have them in a week or so
when I go public with this release! So let me know any problems
(especially those not listed here!)

(3) I know you really just want to try it out :) There are now two
official versions: One for everybodu (windows, mac, unix, whatever), and
one for Windows users that includes a simple installer and backup
conduit. (I have no Mac development environment; if anyone knows how to
get me a good deal or loaner, let me know :)

i) Generic release for Win, Mac, Unix, Everyone:
http://www.codejedi.com/shadowplan/shadow-discuss/shadow1416gen.zip

ii) Windows only release (includes installer, conduit, as well as the
normal stuff from the Generic zipfile. Will get much better with time, but
for now.. just run Setup to intall the conduit and Shadow. The manual you
can install yourself as normal)
http://www.codejedi.com/shadowplan/shadow-discuss/shadow1416win.zip

Please let me know which version you are using, and how well they
work. Windows users, please tell me if the installer works well enough for
you, and if your conduit is dumping your lists properly. (It works
properly if you can find your listname.XML files in your user directory
where you have hotsync.exe)

Oustanding issues are thusly:

o DOC export; SmartDOC can't save after loading exported DOC? Let me know
if your DOCs seem incomplete or problematic; tell me your OS version,
machine, and what DOC programs you are using on the DOc file

o Hide masked records (security) -- the new linking types can display
hidden records when "new from..."ing and the like. This will be fixed
before release. It onyl lets you see the first few chars of text, so don't
worry.

o Copy/Paste -- doesn't handle parent auto-check yet
o Address/Memo link add -- needs category and sorting better
o Scrolling down may show the top most partially displayed item at
one-level off what it shoudl be (very minor)
o Addressbook link -- does anyone not see their last address book
item in the link-add box?

Thats it for known issues with 1.4.16; please add to this list any bugs
you find, so I can fix them for 1.5.0!

ENJOY! Get back to me.. don't just silently use it :)

	Its displayed by "palm magic order" ;)  The work of sorting a list
(ie: time before display, sluggishness of display, etc) is measurable, so
if I don't need to sort it, I don't. ie: IF a function will be used in
frequentrly, and will work well enough, then why optimize it when other
more important tasks need doing? (like the Program Listing for goto
setting.. most peopel have 20 apps on their unit, and don't sue this more
than 3 or 4 times ever..)

	However, if you're one with tonnes of todos, sorting would be of
value.. so I will be sorting those lists. Addressbook will be sorted for
1.5, but I'm not sure which others will be for 1.5.. likely more for 1.5.5
or something.

	If folks need it. I don't think most people would be doing that,
and certainly linking from a sshadow item to addressbnook, with editting
changes synced, would be bad I think :)

	No, its supposed to do that. Your'e remembering what I said about
a future shadow to shadow link system, where I would put limits on the
linking..

	Use the Link Manager; tap on the link arrow (assuming you haven';t
deactivated it in a custom list), and tap on Link Manager; or go into
Details for an item, and tap on Link. The Link Manager has an Add button
that allows you to add links to addressbook and memos.. Once added, you
can expand/collapse those extra links via the link arrow popmenu.

So far it has been awesome. Well, I've only been using it for about 
10 minutes now, but just wanted to drop a line. BTW, I've only 
recently been using the HTML export option. We have a corporate 
extranet at my business and lately I've been taking notes with Shadow 
at client meetings and exporting them to HTML to be posted on our 
extranet. Has been working great. More keyboard support would be 
great! :)

Subject: Re: Shadow BETA 1.4.16 Released! - Conduit Problem

Hi there,

I'm using the windows version with the conduit on my Visor Prism (OS 
3.5.2H). I did a hotsync and got a bunch of XML files in my user 
folder, BUT each file only has one <item>. I don't have your DTD so I 
don't know what I should actually be seeing, but here is an example 
of what I got:

<ShadowPlanFile>
	<filename>ShadP-3. Project Blastoff</filename>
	<header>
		<hhCreateTime>1279983616</hhCreateTime>
	</header>
	<item checked="no" expanded="no" expanded-memo="no" 
priority="0" progress="0">
		<target-time>0</target-time>
		<start-time>0</start-time>
		<finish-time>0</finish-time>
		<note/>
	</item>
</ShadowPlanFile>

BTW, XML is an awesome idea for the conduit. We are using XML 
extensively on our extranet and my Shadow notes are going to 
integrate perfectly!

	Exporting via memo or DOC? DOC exporting is alittle futzy in
1.4.16, so I'm looking for feedback about it. Memo exports should work
great :)  More keyboard support will go in when I can.. just need to
borrow a keyboard :)

	Great :) XML makes my life harder, but I think it will pay off for

   They're all where they're supposed to be. Used the Windows installer, which works well. BTW, your P's are missing on the installation background.

   I STILL can't get the export to work on half of my lists. 

1) It seems that only 11mgs can be exported at a time {or that could just be coincidence}.

2) There is odd stuff at the end of the trunticated Docs. *See Attachment

3) HotSync crashes Every time it gets to those Docs. The ones that exported did OK.

I've got a PalmIIIxe OS3.5 and I'm using WordSmith to read with. AportisDoc can't even recognize them.

	No surprise; I didnt' update it for 1.4.16; Neal sent me a couple
of lists .. one which crashes on erxport toi doc, and one which doesn't
fully export; very odd looking issue in there, so once I get some time, I
think I'll have the DOC issues licked..

	yeah, they're probably screwed up files.. so delete them if they
fail to export. Standard palm delete should work.

	Someone requested the pretty option a week or two ago, and then to
show they liked it, sent an email using it. Was pretty cool :) I
personally only am intereste din HTML and Tab exports, likely via
DOC. Though DOC stuff is a little broken right now, for many people, but
I'm hoping to have it all fixed up before I let 1.5.0 out of the bag.

	So all in all, 1.4.16 is pretty solid and everyone likes it?

Yep, about the same for me. I am pretty much just interested in the 
HTML and XML options, which are extremely flexible.

	Not really; the clip/multiclip operates on whole items; the palm
text clipboard works with text. Theres no easy way for the system to know
if you hit paste if you wish to paste text, or paste items (the two
clipboards co-exist). Also.. how would the multiclip items be transferred
to notes? As html? As export formats? Its tough..

	It seems an unusual need?

	You could export to memo, then open the memo, cop the stuff you
need, then paste it into the note?

	Strange. Something screwed up somewhere, then :P

	In essence, I said that the text-clip is separate from the
object-clip; text is done by palmos, and objects by shadow. Mixing them is
ugly and not needed too often I imagine. It seemed the best thing to do
woudl be to export to memos, and then Copy the stuff desired, flip back to
shadow, and paste it in...

Jeff -

I installed the beta windows only version.  The Hot-sync operation 
ended prematurely and created the GPF for HotSync:

HOTSYNC caused an invalid page fault in

The new version of Shadow installed, but the problem recurs every 
time I hot sync.


Any ideas?  Does this help?

Try this: Open each of your lists on the palm; make sure to change
it, then close it (thus causing a new save). So check something, and then
uncheck it again (back to where it was), or othersimilar do-nothign
changes. Then when you close the list, Shadow will save due to changes.

	Save each list. Then try a hotsync.

	The conduit cannot stync files not saved with the current
version; however, it apparently (rarely) cancrash on a unconverted list,
instead of just ignoring it.

Thanks, Jeff.  The instruction worked.  

The export to DOC, the universal find, and the address look up all 
work great.

Subject: Hotsync Error

Ever since this morning, everytime my Visor Prism is doing and it 
gets to Shadow, after a few seconds I get a hotsync error and hotsync 
gets cancelled:

HotSync Error: Unknown error.  (FFFE)

I did a reset and that didn't change anything. All of my memos have 
been saved with the new version. What is interesting that all of my 
lists were actually synced to my desktop, so apparently some error 
occurs at the end.

Best Regards,

Should there be additional hotsync conduits firing off, or are you
just seeing an error FFFE harmlessly?

	Let me check..

	Ahh, that implies..

	Does one or more of your lists have an illegal character in the
name? ie: On DOS and Windows you cannot have / or . or some other weirc
characters in your Shaodw filenames, or else the conduit cannot back them
up. You'll get a conduit error, but the conduit should continue in its
way.. an informational error. Perhaps its stopping other hotsyncs from
occuring?

	But check your filenames.. that error implies the conduit couldn't
open up a file to write to it..
