Jeff,
I remember I first heard of PG's problems with Handango from one of your
posts seveeral weeks ago. As I remember you were very supportive of PG. I'm
sorry that they have decided they need to resort to such strong-arm
tactics. I'm sure that they will find out that what they thought were
decisions that were made to keep them in business, will ultimately lead to
them losing a great deal of business. Are there any other sites for
software that you could recommend? So far I've purchased all my Palm apps
through PG, but I'd like to find an alternative (other than Handango).

Also, condolences for the loss of your grandfather.

	No; see, a lot of people put all their eggs in PalmGear's
basket; I however, have a number of other channels. Hanandgo plays a
little nasty, but they've never been late, not once, on a payment. I have
some CD distribution deals, some magazine deals, and a number of little
things here and there.

	So while PG accounted for a large portion of my sales and income,
I never let any one channel account for my amount to stay afloat.

	Codejedi goes on, though limping, and I've got plans in motion to
keep it that way. But thanks for caring :)

	(I also do a lot of contract work and other things, since I don't
wish to keep all my eggs in Shadows basket either. Other products to come,
and other things to do. Gotta a fmaily to worry about, so I play very safe
:)

	I've not yet looked at others; theres some non-English ones that
seem cool, but I don't know German. Theres a number of newer ones popping
up, due to the aggaravation of PG. For me as a busines, I await to see
which start to get the views, and then I'll support them if their rep is
good. As a user, I dunno yet.

	But its a shame.. PG has a keen layout and site. I always dug
their site. But now that developer links are removed, its a little less
useful to the customer. But a tonne of people have said they're still
going to PG, since its a faster and better organized site and all that. We
just can't condone their actions or ethics anymore, and I myself simply
cannot buy things there since I cannot with a conscience pay them, when
they're going to screw the developers :/

> Also, condolences for the loss of your grandfather.

	Thanks; I hate to bring those out in public, like business stuff
and personal stuff, but at the same time, I pride myself on being an open

friends here, hopefully :) (and those who don't care, which is entirely
fine, since time is prime.. hopefully there isn't too much kruft ;)

I will wait till your webstore is up to purchase Shadow Desktop then.

I'm really disappointed in PG.  I'm wondering now if I should pull my
freeware programs from there to show disapproval.  I'm not so arrogant to
think my little apps had garnered them any more attention or resultant sales
of other apps, but if I pull the apps it doesn't hurt them (financially) but
diminish very slightly the freeware choices available to potential users.  I
can move to freewarepalm.com but that site is just not as useful for
searching as PG.

I hate the idea I'm implicitly approving their behavior by continuing to
list with them.  I gonna do something...

	Not in current versions, but I hope to modify it soon so that it
will. (ie: Right now, the desktop needs to talk to the handheld Shadow and
ask it things, like what encoding the text is in and stuff like that.
(Since it can vary by OS version and location, and such, though usually
does not vary). I hope to make the conduit make some educated guesses if
it can, and otherwise work in general, if Shadow is on VFS and unavailable
during sync. (Also, the conduit asks Shadow to tell if it is registered or
not, so that your registration carries with you on the handheld, and is
not entered in the desktop)

	For now, though, the conduit doesn't get the answers it needs
(ie: It gets no answers), so bails out.

Yep, that's what I already did. :)

And this to me is what makes it confusing. Here I have I filter that 
has a definition which is the exact opposite of its description (and 
hence its perceived function).

You see priority as a common numerical value following the "normal" 
sort rules. But since you introduced the option to reverse these 
sort rules in the preferences, the "normal" rules no longer apply by 
default. "Priority < 2" reads as "priority lower than 2" and to me 
(having the 5-4-3-2-1 is ascending order option checked) this would 
mean priorities 3, 4 and 5. It's all a matter of interpretation. :)

I didn't mean that the custom filters should use "high" and "low", 
but that their interpretation of "<" and ">" should depend on the 
priority sorting preference you specified.

But alas, I can live with the way it works now. I just have to think 
a little harder when I include priorities in my filter 
definitions. :)

for one would be happy to re-register on your site at my expense if

I wonder if what PG is doing can be considered fraud by the credit

would think that it's fraud...I intended my payment to go to you, 
not them...I think it's a valid argument.

Also, how public is this? I would like to send PG an e-mail stating

Hi, a couple of questions. First, where can I download SP 2.2.2 I'm 
registered currently but its 2.2.1 and I'd like to be able to use 
the special option for the 2.2.2 version. #2, Everytime I create a 
Todo or Appt from within SP on the note portion I get the following:

ICON: 160
#AN
[---99:99hb000__][[[Shadow:@Next Actions>@Physics?@E...]]]


so the question is how do i get rid of the Icon: 160
                                           #AN

portion of the note tag....

I finally deleted ActNames from my Sony and I'm currently using DBK5

	Ahh. I guess I'm more of a math geek ;) I read it as "priority
value less than 2". Making it value the order pref will definitely confuse
a lot of people, since it would make it mathematically incorrect. Perhaps
I need to put something into the hint? If so, what?

	Sorry about that; anyone else? I think folks like it as it is now,

	Theres no easy way, and it wouldn't be right for you to sacrifice
yourself (a few bucks only, but we're talking ethics here). I've
essentially not received payments for anything purchased via PG since
January 1st inclusive :/

	The payment is to them, and I receive royalties. I'm not sure how
it is perceived by CC companies. I think they wouldn't care, since PG was
supposed to get the money, and give me the majority of it. They just broke
their agreement with me :/ But I'm not sure what "Fraud" is per se.

	It was made public on www.palminfocenter.com; if you harass them,
don't do so on my behalf, but in general. I cannot afford to jeopardize
anything with them at this stage (so I shouldn't have brought it up
publicly, but I'm a jerk that way ;)

  The other night a brief moment of manic productivity overtook my 
  body and I began throwing ideas into Shadow for a business I plan to 
  start up soon. This happened as I was adding ideas to a Shadow list 
  regarding my personal website.

  I drug out the desktop version of Shadow to deposit the frantic 
  thoughts into as attempting to place them in the Palm would have 
  slowed me and I wouldn't have had half of the ideas. The other good 
  things about the DT was that I was able to see alot more of what I 
  wrote on the screen (in terms of number of items).

  The bad thing was that about all I could do was put items in. I 
  couldn't move them. I couldn't indent them when I had made a 
  mistake. I couldn't define the list type to make it more suited to 
  what I was doing :-(

  So, I must insist you take a break from the Palm application for a 
  while, and boost the desktop. Simple function such as move and 
  indent would have helped tremendously during this mad dash to put 
  brain into Palm.

  OK, so I can't insist...but I can beg, right? ;-)

  Thanks for all the hard work! I love what I am seeing in the Palm 
  app...now it's time for the DT :-)

Subject: Shadowlink Hack Broke

Greetings:

I am running Shadowlink 1.1 with Shadow 226A on a Handera (Still 
waiting for those hi-rez fonts...). Everything was fine until I 
installed Datebook 5.  Now I can not get Shadowlink to go back to 
Shadow in either Datebook or the standard Todo program.  I have tried 
soft resets, Reset Shadowlink, and deinstall and reinstall the hack.

	You'll have to wait a little while; the plan of development ir
more or less in place (and has been for a couple of months, and is more or
less on the website if you look for it ;)  After I finish the current
round of massive handheld featurization (you'll love it ;), I'll be
working on the desktops and such for awhile (need to get the German Shadow
out, easy, and need to get the Mac and Unix desktops out to alpha, and
need to fix a couple of rare but annoying as heck bugs in the conduit, and
add drag and drop and better view stuff to the desktop, and then return to
the handheld side of things). Order of development is currently set in
such a way as to maximize development usefulness and time, and in the
order that is of highest priority to a lot of people, and making up for
things long ago promised but long delayed (like the Mac desktop).

	Returning to the handheld means Handera stuff like vanishing
grafitti, high res font utilization, high res icon drawing (though I
really resent the way this has to be done), and Sony virtual
grafitti.

<rant against vendors>
	(I'm really aggravated at how Sony and Handera have done
things; not only must I keep low res black and white and colour icons (2
icon sets for standard palm), I must keep high res mono and cooour for
sony (2 more sets), and 2 more for handera (mono and colour, handera
scaling), and potentially a couple more for OS5..  why not double the
binary size just to keep up with every vendors introducing their own
system and resolution and perspective.. argh :P)

I'm running datebk5 myself, so your problem is curious.  Did you try going
into the Shadow list, forcing it to save (just pick an item, go into Detail,
and okay out), and try shadow jumping again?  I don't see how datebk5 would
mess with the origin stamp in the ToDo note.  Can you post exactly what the
origin stamp looks like in the note?  What happens when you do a 'Goto Link'
in Shadow and try to shadow jump back via the ToDo note?  Does it not work
at all?  Or just wouldn't jump to some items?

Subject: Progress of parent?

I think this may have come up months ago..

	Should a parents progress bar, which is the average of its
children, factor in children which do not have a progress bar
displaying? (as part of their custom view, or default view)

	For example:

	If you have a parent with 2 checkable items, and one note
item.. right now it cannot exceed 66% complete, since the note cannot
easily be completed. Should the Note item be ignored, and thus the two
items, when complete, make the parent go to 100%?

Jeff, I'm for taking into account any item that shows a progress,
check box or otherwise.  Which is why I replied to this response...

Learned,

Why would you *not* want a parent progress bar to take into account
child progress bars?

Please, put it on the web site. Not everyone reads all of the manual,
and besides, since Ling expressed some reservations about having it at
PG, even if it is free, it makes sense for you to host it or at least
make it VERY obvious where to go to get it if Ling hosts it herself.

It's small enough that it might even be part of the distribution of
Shadow.

No problem.  I'll upload it to the yahoogroup, then Jeff, you can mention it
however you want and point people there.

Jeff's caution is warranted.  I program (now) as a hobby.  That's why all my
apps are freeware and/or GNU GPL licensed.  I don't have a persistent
presence on the web in terms of domain name and business e-mail address
(perhaps when my kids are a little older - Ling says wistfully :-).  So I
don't have the resources to test properly (like the FontBucket folks) for
Jeff to say anything other than 'here's a potentially useful hack and use at
your own risk.'  It was very generous of Jeff to put in the uniqueID as I
requested to allow ShadowLink to work.  So whichever way Jeff chooses to let
his users know about the hack, it's fine with me!

Yes I too am seeing this with my Prism running Shadow 2.2.7. I just started
noticing it but never equated it to Shadow.

	Must be the custom filter changes did it; probably some secret
Palm OS resource allows you to set the icon for use in the brightness, and
I've got enough resources I ran into that one or something. I'll figure

I have a palm keyboard and from the items details screen I can hit
Fn-, which takes you to the notes screen. Why they didn't put Notes in
blue on the comma key is unknown to me.

My question is this, if you're in the outline, what's the keyboard 
shortcut for getting to the details screen? If I want to edit the
text because it's to long, I have to get out the stylus. From the 
outline view, you can go straight to the notes, but not to details? Or 
am I missing the shortcut somewhere -- I am new at this....

This is likely not a Shadow problem.  All Shadow does is call whichever
program you set for Address links, passing it the record number to go to.
If PUN doesn't react to the record number by hi-lighting it or displaying
it, that's not Shadow's business.

I have tried ShadowLink 1.1, and Shadow 2.2.5.
When I jump back from a ToDo note, by doubleclicking, I constantly

When I jump one page up, the correct line is marked.
Is there a reason for this, that cannot be worked out ?

This is explained in the shadlink.htm file within the zip download.
Essentially, since the list hasn't been rendered, Shadow is guessing which
screenful of display has the hi-lighted item.  Unfortunately, more often
than not, it guesses wrong.  You'll find the same problem if you do a Global
Find and jump to Shadow via the Find screen.  Jeff is aware of the problem
and will fix according to his timetable.  It is not a ShadowLink problem.
I've found if I suppress word wrap on a list (in List Preference, Options),
Shadow almost always displays the correct screen.  You might give that a try
if it's acceptable to you.

Subject: Dot from nowhere + what to display idea

I found something which I just wanted to report (2.2.8). Make a 
checklist such as:

   o Work
     o Release r8

       NTPv4

Notice the "Release r8" and "NTPv4" are actually the same item. I just 
added an empty line in the item and I don't have "Supress title word 
wrap" enabled.

Now, tick the item as done. Notice the litte dot on the empty line as 
all lines gets strike-through? Also, go into the item and press the Note 
button. Look at the heading "Note for release r8[]" There's an added 
character at the end which looks like a box.

Which brings me in on what I actually intended to ask. I like to have 
the complete items visible in the main display, but sometimes it isn't 
practical since the items are cluttered with stuff. The "Supress title 
word wrap" is too agressive imho. My idea was that show everything in 
the item in the main display until an empty line is encountered. To see 
the text below that mark, you'll have to enter the item.

Applying this scheme to the above checklist would mean Release r8 is 
visible but the rest is hidden unless you enter the item.

	Some keyboards have a Detail button; but that would only work in
the non-graphical-buttons mode. I was pretty sure I'd added a Details
command key, but if I haven't, let me know a key combo and I'll see what I
can do :)

	I'm a simple suer myself (go figure ;), but I tend to keep simple
lists of things (like personal chores and ToDos) in Shadow, as well as
project assignments (this person has to do what and when). Both of these I
enter all the data in through Shadow, and as items become actionable, I
link them out to Datebook so they show up in my datebook application. (ie:
I have hundreds of Shadow lists, but a main 3 or 4 that I use. Recent
Files lets me jump around ot them easily, and I keep a flattened view by
seeing whats in Datebook for me to do).

	PUN?

	Address gotos are a simple PAlm OS standard; Shadow tells the
other app to run, and feeds it the ID of the address to center on. The
receiving application has to understand that sort of load-and-find
request, or it won't work. Id' think any addressbook program could do it,
but many multi-applications dont' do it well.

	The little dot is as you expect, the strike-thru going into
space. I'll worry about that another day (too many other things to worry
about ;). Good eye on you though ;)

	The "box" is the physical display of a newline; ie: An application
can chose to render a newline by going to a new line, or it can actually
ask the OS to display the string, which includes a newline, and the OS
displays whatever character the font maker put in the newline characters
slot, which is a funny box. (If you're talking in the Note title, where
the OS renders things). In the note content, the newlines are handled
correctly, as a new line :)

	Sounds fairly "specific" (my term for "sounds like this would make
you happy, and no one else would notice"), which means "not too likely,
since I've got other things to worry about that would make everyone happy,
and if I ignored them, get me lynched" ;)
