One of my favorite Palm applications is Datebk 6, a calendar management program for Palm PDAs and Treos. It's an excellent program and IMO superior to other Palm calendar management programs. Well, today it's recieved another update and some issues have been fixed. Always a good thing. So if you are still a Palm user, it's time to update or time to take Datebk 6 for a spin.
"I just posted an R4 release which addresses the Palm OS redraw bug on
TX units only, whereby the refresh event is sent to the wrong window
when calling a "sub-dialog" - we've seen this bug in several places
on the TX - if you see any others just let me know (this was last
noted in the Today View's View Display Options dialog moving to the
Options Selections dialog). It's most noticeable when the status bar
is being hidden.
This release also includes a subtle preference option for sorting
items that have the same start time. The question is: if the start
time of two events is the same, which comes first? The one that ends
first? or ends last?
The traditional Palm OS Datebook application has always done the
former, so the first item listed is the one that ends first. DateBk6
previously followed that rule. Palm's proprietary Calendar app though
does the reverse - the item that ends last is listed first. Some
people think that provides a nicer view of nested time bars in the
Day View, some don't.
In any event, on a clean install, DateBk6 will now set this
preference to MATCH the built-in Datebook OR built-in calendar
application as appropriate, but anyone can now change it to suit
their taste, and at least DateBk6 now keeps to its goal of working
the same was as the built-in calendar application unless there's a
compelling reason to operate differently.
