Hi Sarah,
hope you are fine now...

Excellent release!

Happy to see also the PC version. Let me remember that the old PC rel used a folder named PBE this searches Pocket Birds: this, for me was the reason for "data not found".

The HTC version is OK , GPS works perfectly.
The only small bug (inside HTC version) is with using small map: I see only a small white square without content.
From then on the program looses the sync among data (wrong images and sound).

This function is OK inside the PC version.
Tks again.

Thanks, Amedeo. I am slowly feeling better. I will look at this error and fix it.

Hi Sarah, the version 4.2.1 qvga is not well, the first image remains a little cut away by the right hand and at the top and for the left side, the second image does not remain centered and remains cut away at the top, at a height of the magnifying glass. The map also remains cut away by 4 sides and the photos also remain cut away.
And the size of the text of the name of the birds is smaller than earlier.
The folder that I have used is the same that was seen well in the version 3.6 qvga.

Version 4.2.1 "Data Folder missing“
I use an ipaq 614c with two storage Cards. One built in named \iPAQ File Store and an sdcard named \Storage Card.
If y changes the pathname in SDCARD.txt he is overwrite by the next start from the program.
It is possible two disable the tool "Storage Card detection feature" (perhaps in Prefs.txt ) and write manually the path in sdcart.txt ? .
Thanks in advance
Alain

Moin,

filefactory and rapidshare are disabled in intranet of my company. So I need an other mirror of all the files in the first post. Uploaded.to would work fine. Please, share the files with me !!

Version 4.2.1 "Data Folder missing“ and other errors!

The detection routine uses the name of the first storage card and expects the data folder to be on that card. Your in-built storage card seems to be the 'first' storage card in the system. I will add code to allow you to run the software without the automatic detection happening. You will be responsible for writing the correct storage card pathname into SDCARD.TXT yourself. I know this will not be a problem for you.

I will post the new cab later today( along with fixes for 4.2.1 errors posted above).

Which CAB are you using? I assume VGA? (non-HTC).

VERSION 4.2.2 POSTED!

I have posted version 4.2.2 in the main post. VGA and QVGA versions have extra code inserted. I don't know for sure it will work for you as I don't have a 2-card device to test it on. Please test it?

The code will detect that you have 2 'storage cards' and use the external card #2. It will message you telling you this is what it is doing, too.

The new release also fixes reported bugs in 4.2.1 and before.

Thanks

Sarah

Sarah,
on my PPC 4.22 and 4.21 have identical behaving. Mini map leaves a blank square , no image shown.
Text is small and grows only when "larger text" is pressed while showing text and immediately after returns to small.
Overall, choices are not "persistent": there is no memory of selections made.
The only one which stays ok is the WVGA screen. Once made this option is kept also after shutdown and restart the program.
There is also a new behaving vs. old versions: you may change bird but the song will not change unless you put it off and on again.
Nothing strange but must be kept in mind.
Sarah, since you'll have to review the code I will insist on a request still unadressed: the green GPS button should be larger to allow a more finger friendly operation.
Thanks in advance

Text size saving: If you look at the PREFS file 'prefshtc.txt' you will see that the text size is saved ok. It is on line 4. When you change the text it saves the font size properly in this file.

Minimap. Yes. Something strange is happening! The source code works perfectly! But once the program is compiled into a CAB it no longer works! I will have to see what is going on.

GPS lamp. I will try to find a better graphic for the light.

Version 4.2.3 in main post

OK Guys. I think this version will work.

The Mini-Map was a strange problem. There was nothing wrong except in the compiled exe. I moved the mini-map code to the top of the subroutine without changing the code and now the exe works. Just one of those compiler things I guess. Hope we don't get any more problems like this one. Hard work.

I also changed the bird-song method. Now to hear the bird song simply tap the song button. It no longer goes on or off (I didn't think this made any sense). This seems a more logical operation to me.

Amedeo, I could not find an error with bird songs. Every test I did the correct song was sounded. If you continue to feel there is a problem I will need more details.

Alain, I still need feedback about the 2-card QVGA fix. Does it work.

Version 4.2.3 QVGA work with two storage cards

Sarah,
He works fine he detects two storage cards and uses the second.
Sorry for the late answer (I play tennis Monday night ).
I will tested more the program today and morning on the field (GPS..)

Version 4.2.3 QVGA work with two storage cards

it does not work

Two Storage Cards detected. Using card *2Bluetooth.

This is the message that it gives

E X C E L L E N T !!!
P E R F E C T !!!!
For me , now all problems are fixed.
Text size : OK
Bird song : your last change is perfect. Old versions changed sound when one scrolled back/forth , the last 4.2.2 no. So if the program was reproducing a long sound and one changes species , the new species keeps the old sound unless you switch sound off and then on. Now is perfect.
Green light for GPS: perfect!
Click2 : for me need to extend to 30 seconds silence to be sure no item is skipped. OK!

Anyway your compiler -sometimes- generates code which gives a warning:
"this program has been compiled for an old version of OS , something could not run or generate errors" (or similar).
Normally this happens when using programs written for Windows2002/2003.

Tks a lot Sarah !! Great job.

Hi Lobo

Try this test CAB. I have added a fix for your error particular device. Does it work?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CFDHQ7QY

So far Lobo's device is the only one to give bogus card info. If I find there is a larger problem with devices reporting bogus storage cards (like Lobo's Bluetooth) I will show the user all of these 'cards' and let the user choose which one to use.
