I began using this approach on a TRG Pro. The speed there was
tolerable, though I was careful to "delete selected items checked
children" occasionally. (Basically I did this for my misc. tasks every
week. For projects I left the tasks until project completion and then
moved the whole project tree to another file for posterity.) I've been
running on a Tungsten T since November. It's so insanely fast that I
don't notice any delays for anything. I do see the progress bar during
file saves, but not for long enough to read the text.
I'm not using the GTD system. Though from my lurking here it sounds
like GTD is quite similar to the First Things First approach [Covey,
Merrill, & Merrill] that I do use. That is, weekly planning to review
previous week and focus on the next week, scheduling time for important
tasks, categorizing tasks. In First Things First the categorization is
based on life roles rather than @Phone, @Email, etc..., though I'm
considering incorporating the location info. as well.
I use a half dozen custom filters on a regular basis along with
highlighting of "due" items (in bold face, red text). I'm very much
looking forward to highlighting by custom filter, esp. if multiple
highlights can be displayed at once.

Jeff,
How can a registered user of Shadow 2.x get a copy of the beta?

Email all the way. It's so much easier to have everything filter into

Subject: Themes in 2.6.16a BETA
|
| |
I'm experiencing some quirkiness with themes in the current
beta:
Theme in a list off — all expand/collapse arrows,
checkboxes, priorities show up
Theme in a list on — the above disappear until I highlight
an item by selecting it
Numbering isn't affected. The problem shows up in lists I
created prior to the current beta as well as new ones. I'm
running the program on an m505, in RAM, lists in RAM. If
this is a known issue, my apologies — I'm still playing
catch-up from the holidays and didn't notice if this problem
showed up in the 2.6.8 beta . . .

I haven't noticed anything spectaculiar, other than things do seem to
be a bit quicker on my Visor Plat.
I did notice however that when you pull down the "List" and "Edit"
menu items that they drop all the way down to the bottom of the screen
and you don't see the line that denotes the end of the menu list.
Makes me think that there are additional items in the list, but I
can't see them with my poor old low-res 160x160. :(

I still need my ToDo app / DB in order to integrate with Outlook. I
receive nearly all of my ToDos via email. Usually, I will simply drag
the message to the "Tasks" icon in Outlook which then creates a new
ToDo with the body of the message in the note of the ToDo. This
allows me to quickly add info and context to the ToDo.
Besides, I have a Visor Platinum, no deleting the ToDo app for me.

But if Shadow had a way of "auto-importing" tasks meant to sync to the ToDo
database, would this be sufficient? Just trying to get the definitive list
that Jeff is looking for, and I would imagine there are many people that
sync with Outlook or Notes Todos.
By the way, even with a Visor Platinum, I think you can use JackSprat/Flash
to delete/add apps to ROM.

There is indeed a way to import ToDo's into the appropriate list(s) in
Shadow. From the file list screen select the menu Transfer>Import
Marked ToDo's. This method would require you to add the file name in
the description of the task when you make it in Outlooks/Notes, etc...
Not a big deal, but it still uses the built in ToDo DB either way.
From http://www.brayder.com/products/jackflash.html ;
JackFlash does not run on the following devices: Palm IIIe, m100,
m105, m125, m130, VII, VIIx, IBM WorkPad 30J, Handspring Visors. These
devices either do not use Flash ROM or they use all of the available
Flash

Much more complex. There is onyl one ToDo.. but there are many
Shadow lists.
The old example is:
File A item links to File B item linsk to File C item linsk to
File A item.
Changing one does what? :)
If yuo go back in the archives, you'll find we discussed this and
I have a proposed way of doing it with a few limits. (In short.. an item
coudl be linekd to another item; each item woudl know who the originasl
item is, and would pick up changes from it,a nd transmit changes to it. No
item would know about the xistance of links away from it.. just to the
master item. Deleting trhe master item would be ugly though.. so I need to
figure out a way to handle what... if yuo delete the master, do you just
have broken links? If so, the system is doable and on my todo list)

I'm a nerd, but I do everything via email; theres no time to go
visiting forums all overthe place, so whenever theres an email interface I
use it. Brings the content to me, where I can deal with it at my leisure,
and use a single itnerface. (ie: Every forum has its own interface and
peculiarities.. using emasil means you use one interface for all of
them). But I'm a text nerd :)

You need to enable that option; I think its in the global prefs
Link panel. If not, it'd be in the List Prefs -> Options. But I think it

I think Rita posted an excellent approach; if you want somethign
simple without getting into the options, then you coudl try converting
your list to a Checklist (so all items default to havin a checkbox). Then
go through your parent items (which generally don't change since you dont'
get enw family members every day) and go into full screen Details for
them, and ni the top right yuo can change them to Note items (say). This
is an override. Thus your default items will be hecklist items, and your
overriden items will be what youv'e set them to. Since most items yuo
create and fiddle with are tasks, they'll be checklist items.
Hope that helps. If you want to get into it, try Ritas
approach. Shes on top of it :)

I posted a link to it here in the forum a day or two ago. The
traditional way is to be in shadow-test mailing list (sign up on the

Go to the global prefs for themes, and hit Reset. If you used
Themes in 2.6.9 and then moved to this version, it might have some
"turds" left over from 2.6.9; if your'e movign from 2.6.7 or earlier to
this version, it'll reset the themes to sensible values on open for the

The one menu has done this for a long time; one other menu started
it for this release. Dont' worry, you can see all the menu items.. there
are no plans to go any longer, without revamping the menus
altogether. (Remove some options, or put multiple options together, or

Yes, FTF is somewhat similar to GTD. The main difference though is in
the prioritization of tasks. FTF has you do a daily review as well to
schedule in the smaller rocks.
Interestingly I'd bet GTD and FTF would compliment each other. Make the
big rocks, scheduled during your weekly review, hard landscape items.
Then simply plan by context for all the smaller things...may have to try
it.
Thanks for the report on speed.

I like the system you worked out above...and yes, broken links with the
option to sever.
Another approach would be non-recursive linking. For this feature make
it a flat-link like the todo database is. If an item already has a link
to it, it cannot link elsewhere. If an item already has a link from it,
it cannot link elsewhere.
Very limited yes, but that's my scope. An identical linking system as
we have for todo, with checkbox and all, only to a predefined Shadow
file.
How about this for an even more limited scope. A predefined Shadow file
called "Action Items" with a predefined view that isn't changeable. Use
that file for these one to one links. Any time you checked the "Action
Item" checkbox within a list, it would send a copy/link to "Action
Items". I know, it's unpopular, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Jeff has amazingly good timing, as with the 2.7 release, Shadow will support
the new Sony Clie NZ90 (similar to NX70V, but includes full featured 2
megapixel camera with flash, built-in Bluetooth, removable battery, and
portable folding cradle) that was released today (see www.sonystyle.com ).

This new Sony was announced, not released today. The latest bulletin
says that it will be released at the end of next month.
I must say that I cannot understand what is in Sony's head: an $800
PDA, that's bigger (definitely thicker) than any released by Sony to
date! Size is a critical factor for many that I know, and Sony is
supposed to have developped a thinner screen, right? Then why this
bulk?
For whom is this new behemoth (size and price) intended? PDR--- In

Someone who really really likes the "included-camera" concept.
The main difference (from the NX70V) is that the camera is now a full-featured
Sony digicam (they clearly just had some of their camera engineers from "next
door" help out). 2 megapixels, regular digicam lens, and flash. A PDA
already has memory card, LCD screen and the capability to run a software
program, so all that was needed was the lens, flash and any ICs unique to
digicams.
Aside from that, the other two new features - Bluetooth and replaceable
rechargeable battery - were just keeping up with the Joneses (or more
specifically, Palm and Dell respectively). (Actually, the replaceable battery
is also needed if the camera is used a lot, since digicams use up more battery
power than almost any other pocket device).
PS Also remember that CES is the place to announce your flashiest product.
Products that represent incremental quantitative improvements (smaller, more
memory, etc.) would be announced at some other point, since they won't be

All this peripheral glitz means a drastic increase in size. And to me
the camera is peripheral. The Sony is an organizing tool, which I
take everywhere. I do not need a camera everywhere.
And just look at those specs! 1" thick! The notion of pocketability
is lost. If I must carry the unit in my hand or briefcase, and not my
pocket, I will buy a laptop with its much bigger screen (and lower
price too, since this PDA with a WiFi card and additional battery
will cost more than $1000). PDR --- In shadow-

Shadow is the best planner/outliner out there. For me, however, the
taggin solution you have found, Jeff, still does not work. That may
be because I use Agendus, which begins every entry in the
calendar/todo list with a tag of its own, that tag being someone's or
some entity's name (generally found in its built-in contacts list).
I could create such a tag for each todo in Shadow, but then I need a
way of easily inserting it at the top of each outline entry, from
each parent to each child. Now, when I transfer Shadow entries to the
datebook, the tag sits in a note, so that glancing at a list for a
particular day does not tell me what each entry belongs to.
Is there any doable way to get this done?

Clearly, this particular model is not for anyone who does not need a camera
everywhere, nor someone who wants the smallest possible product.
I doubt that Sony will cease offering PDAs in the under $700 price range. :-)

Hey, good idea! :)
I guess when I wrote that idea I hadn't thought it through (I do that
a lot, and I'm about to do it now), because it became apparent that
one cannot refer to children's status in a filter (i.e. Checked,
Unchecked, Dated, etc).
This brings to mind a previous discussion (not with me) about adding
"Next Step Only" to custom filtering conditions; since this would
probably be something that gets applied last in a custom filter, after
all other conditions are matched, then some additional special
behaviour might make sense as well. Things like "Next Step Level",
where numbers would correspond to Indent levels, so that a Next Step
Level of 1 would be the same as the current built-in Filter (finding
one entry per top-level item), with each increment increasing the
number of entries found, one Next Step per item at the specified level
of the outline. Perhaps a Next Step Level of + would allow the system
to show the Next Step for each item that has children.
See?! Told ya I wouldn't think it through. Actually, it's just an
idea, take it or leave it.

If I could easily do email and some Internet from my PDA, I'd get the latest Clie. But I think the price/value ratio has another 12-18 months to go before it makes any real sense.

However, why not see if some will pay it for a while, then phase it out or lower the price! There will be too much competition this year to keep that one out very long i bet.
Tough to compete with the Tungsten right now without looking like lack of Sony innovation. I think Sony has taken the wrong direction on their last few. Saw the Clie N760 heading a nice direction and loved the size, then.... If only Sony had added bluetooth/wi-fi option and voice record to that unit, then wow.
Never thought I'd leave Sony after the Clie N760, but when they went bigger and Palm went Tungsten, seemed the choice was very easy for me. And now I'm back to the less problematic operating system too.
Should be an interesting year in the pda market.

If a WiFi card is enough for you to have access to email and web, then it may
be less than 12-18 months, since the previous model - the NX60 - from 3 months
ago (if you can remember that far back :-) ), has the same slot.
The NR series, which originally sold for $599, now sells for half that, since
it has been replaced by the NX series. If the NX is now replaced by an NZ
series, then you should be able to find one for $300 plus the cost of the card,
in a few months.

Hello,
[ If this is already possible with a setting -- or has been discussed before --
please let me know. ]
When I go to add a Tag to an item, the first time I do so, I have to click on
"Add Tag" and then select a category and then pick the Tag that I want.
The second time, all my tags are there as choices in the first popup. Great!
Then, if I exit Shadow to go to some other app, when I come back to Shadow, I
have to start at the beginning again.
What would save me many taps, is for the list of Tags to stay there in the
first popup, ie for that popup list to be preserved even if I exit Shadow.

I've noticed the same sort of thing with other 'temporary' settings -
e.g. do a text search - exit the app (Link jump or whatever), return
and you have to enter the text again.

Link the task item to DateBk5 and you can then use DateBk5 to make it recur
and/or sound alarms.
I'm not sure what happens to the link when DateBk5 causes it to recur, though.

The OS is the same, the hardware is different and has some different low level
interfaces.
PDAs still have very limited resources, so a lot of stuff is written relatively
low level and so the hardware differences pop up more.
Also, Sony has tried to implement some extra things (music, movies, etc.) which
require getting around OS limitations, especially pre-OS-5 ... there should be
less of all that in the future, especially with OS6.

I'm holding out for whatever generation Clie is a good value, when Sony releases the GPRS-enabled MS that they previewed in Japan a few months back. Then again I'll need two MS slots....but that would be the real deal. Can't count on 802.11 right now until it gets more traction....and the same can be said for GPRS!

If a WiFi card is enough for you to have access to email and web, then it may
be less than 12-18 months, since the previous model - the NX60 - from 3 months
ago (if you can remember that far back :-) ), has the same slot.
The NR series, which originally sold for $599, now sells for half that, since
it has been replaced by the NX series. If the NX is now replaced by an NZ
series, then you should be able to find one for $300 plus the cost of the card,
in a few months.

I don't want to get into the fight.. but Sony really muckered up a
few parts of the OS. Why do you think theres no col-bg in low-res modes on
the Sony? ;) They introduce lots of bugs into the OS, and they take years
to fix them :/ This is true of all the companies except Palm and Handera
really. The N760c had a bug and it persisted all the way through until the
NX, and a patch has never been issued for the old units.

Yeah, this has been discussed before...some sort of default tag

get a default, or at least a way not to categorize tags, but that was a

I'm not a DateBk5 user. The Palm built-in datebook has sufficed so far
(Palm user since 1997 :-). I used a little program (Rerun I think,
though my memory is dim) for years that inserted recurring entries into
my ToDo list. I gave that up when I quit using Palm's ToDo.
I can use the built-in date book to alarm on tasks as well. But it is
a bit of a pain--link arrow, link manager, datebook link, link to
database, done, switch to datebook, find the right day, change the time
on the appointment, set an alarm for it. A good intermediate solution
was suggested in this forum a few weeks ago:
When linking a Shadow item to the datebook, Shadow could prompt for a
time and alarm setting.
With this feature I wouldn't have to open the datebook at all, and
Shadow wouldn't have to support alarms.

I have something to report I *thought* was because of this beta... but
instead found out something interesting you may not have known!
Setting the stage:
(1) My Kyocera was suffering (bad) digitizer problems.
(2) Got a new one under warranty.
(3) Reloaded everything from the old 6035.
Did not seem to have any problems.
(4) Loaded the new SP beta.
Found that if I had "Return to Shadow after goto" set I suffered from
the ever popular "tapped in SP problem" where I could not exit to my
launcher (Launch'Em 3.5) which had not happened since several versions
ago.
(details are that it only happens after following a link or even
attempting to follow a dead one.)
Ah ha! Bug! -- or so I thought.
(5) downgraded to SP 2.6.9
The problem is still there. (And I *know* it wasn't before!)
Moral of the story...
Same phone/PDA.
Same software, data, and hacks.
DIFFERENT version of OS... I noticed the replacement phone came with
3.5.3 instead of 3.5.2!
Happenstance, but still proof positive something in the OS changed
that affects this...

I've had the same problem yesterday (and also a few weeks ago): the
hotsync on the PC crashes when the progress window linked to the
Shadow desktop synchronisation appears, and I have to cancel the
hotsync on my Palm.
I've bypassed it by setting the ShadowPlan conduit to "Do nothing"
before redoing the complete hard reset/restore procedure, but it is
annoying (lots of time lost before I found the solution).

Hmmm. I think I've heard of this once or twic before, but been
awhile so we're hitting old memories. If I recall right, some Hotsync
Manager versions do the "first upload" a little oddly and it can confuse
the conduit. Try going to the bottom right of your desktop, right clicking
on Hotsync Manager, hit Custom, and turn Shadow to "Do Nothing" for the
first hotsync. Do the hotsync. Then turn Shadow back on (uncheck Do
Nothing), and all should be well. (During the first sync, sometimes you do
not have a hotsync ID at all, and it can confuse Shadow which always
assumes you have a hotsync ID since you cannot sync without one).
Let me know how it goes; we'll get you through.

Gosh, haven't heard anyone having that problem in a long time.

Ewwww... stick with 2.6.19 (or 2.7, same thing). I'll be
announcing 2.7 probably today, and sending it to PG, Handango, etc,
Monday.

Hmm. Interesting. In the past it could happen just at random to
someones unit.. perhaps after they installed something.
It could have somethign to do with some obscure part of the OS
that changes ever so slightly in some cases, causing Shadows preferences
to not quite apply, and then we lose track of the launcher or something. I
dunno. Pretty weird.
I'll note down to take a looksie again. BEen a long time for that
one :/

I will make it a major item to investigate for 2.8; I didn't know
it was a "common" problem andhadn't heard about it in awhile.. figured it
was fixed (I did some changes awhile back, and couldn't reproduce it in
testing myself).

Shadow already sets a default tag category as whatever one you first use.
My only problem is that although it saves the view you are looking at when you
exit Shadow, it doesn't also save that default tag category...

Right now the popup just remembers the last category you were in, and
displays that list of tags. Leaving Shadow clears that, I guess much like
Zoom. Jeff, is there a way we could just make this stick? Then if it's not
the right category of tags showing, the user just begins again at "Add
Tag". Just a thought.
