#112 Import/export has troubles....
I've tried this on 0.03.02, 0.03.06, and 0.02.07.
I'd been having lots of trouble with the maintanence
features crashing with null-pointer exceptions, so I
attempted to recreate the information by exporting to
the memopad and re-importing.
I had been using miles and USG for my units, and the
export file contains my data as input. However, if I
try to import back into pFuel, I get problems.
No matter what I set, I lose the date and category
information.
Simple examples follow:
Original data: 14.50 USG, 531 Miles, $0, can't remember
date, Jetta
How it looks in the export: (had been using USG and
miles)
37009,"14.50","531",0.0,Y,Jetta
Prefs: imported values
Km/L: Unfiled, 1-1-84,14.50 L, 531 Km
Km/G: Unfiled, 1-1-84, 3.19 G, 531 Km
Km/U: Unfiled, 1-1-84, 3.83 U, 531 Km
Mi/L: Unfiled, 1-1-84, 3.19 L, 205 Mi
Mi/G: Unfiled, 1-1-84, 0.70 G, 205 Mi
Mi/U: Unfiled, 1-1-84, 0.84 U, 205 Mi
If the distance unit is set to miles, it does a DOUBLE
conversion.

Hi Alan,
When importing the value I was assuming the value to be in
KM and converting it in the units of the preference.
I should have been the other way around since internally
pFuel use KM.
I will be fixed in pFuel-0.03.07 and pFuel-0.02.08

P.S. Do you have more info on the crash in the maintenance ?

I don't have much information on it. I could probably
restore the databases to my Palm and re-create it.
Basically, whenever I attempted to view one of my older
Maintenance records, it would crash with the following error:
MemoryMgr.c, Line 3632, NULL handle
This happened if I attempted to view the record from either
the Maintenance view, or when it popped up after recording a
fill-up.

New release of 2.08 no longer does the double conversion on
miles, but still does the double conversion from USG to
Liters.

Also, it still loses date data. most things import as

"most things import as" ... being on 1-1-84.

Hi,
Sorry, not enough sleep. I will correct the volume conversion.
I'm not able to loose the date can you tell me what is your
date format (Ex: M-D-Y, Y-M-D, D/M/Y, ...)

My date format is d-m-y. I'm on a T|T3.

Hi Alan,
Can you check if you export and import with the same version.
Since version 0.02.xx export/import the date as epoch and
version 0.03.yy export/import the date as "D/M/Y" (or date
format set in Palm OS pref).
If I export with version 0.03.yy and import with 0.02.xx I
will always get the same wrong date.

Fantastic program!!
The preference date format for my Palm TX is D/M/Y.
When I export to Memo, the date is 1462 days short.
That is 20th February 2007, is translated as 19th February 2003.
I have just updated to PFuel 2.11.

Hi,
I think I found the problem. The import function was using the odometer unit flag
to find the unit for the fuel volume ???? So when the distance unit was not the default (i.e. Km) strange conversion was done on the volume.
To confirm that this was the problem can you attach the pdb files. This will help me for the maintenance problem.
Do a backup/hotsync and send me everything related to the pFuel
You should have:
pFuelDB.pdb
pFuelMtnDB.pdb
pFuelPrefDB.pdb
The value:
37009,"14.50","531",0.0,Y,Jetta
Does not look like the output of a recent version of pFuel

Hi Michael,
I tried to replicate your problem with 2.11 and I don't have any problem.
Can you tell me what you get in the export file.
I have for a date of 20/02/2007
Epoch,FuelVolume,Odometer,Price,Full,Category
37671,"17.41","531","0.00",Y,Jetta
Can you send me you database and also tell me all your preference.

P.S. Have a nice summer. Here is was a little bit cold this morning -9 C
