Organization: http://freemail.web.de/ Subject: [pilot-db-list] Suggestion 1 - filter doesn`t stay selected after single record view Hello, I have a suggestion. My configuration is: pilot-db v.1.1.3 (14Feb 2005) PalmOS v.3.5.3 Palm IIIxe (16 MHz, 2MB ROM + 8MB RAM) Start pilot-db, open a database. Select a view where no filter is selected by default (eg the standart "All Fields" view). Select a filter (create one before if there isn`t one). Open a record to modify, delete or just view ist or create a new one. After finishing with that you automaticaly return to the view with multiple records. There, no filter is selected, altought a filter was selected before going into single record view. I`m not familiar with such things but if you want to keep this behavior in some cases, perhaps it would be a possible solution to be able to select for each filter if it should still be displayed after the things described above or not. I`m not too good in English and it`s late - could you understand what I wrote?

Organization: http://freemail.web.de/ Subject: [pilot-db-list] Suggestion 2: default value for boolean and list fields too Hello, I have another suggestion. Again, my configuration is: pilot-db v.1.1.3 (14Feb 2005) PalmOS v.3.5.3 Palm IIIxe (16 MHz, 2MB ROM + 8MB RAM) It would be nice if it would be possible to select a default value for "boolean" and "list" fields too (like it can be done in eg a "date" field). For a "list" field: perhaps a second list for the default value (in the properties dialog of the field) is more easy to implement than a "default"-flag function to the existing list.

Organization: http://freemail.web.de/ Subject: [pilot-db-list] Suggestion 3 - filters and perhaps even scripts adress fieldsby position, not name Hello, I have again a suggestion. Still, my configuration is: pilot-db v.1.1.3 (14Feb 2005) PalmOS v.3.5.3 Palm IIIxe (16 MHz, 2MB ROM + 8MB RAM) If you use a field in a filter (and perhaps even in a script, I haven`t tested this) it seems that this field is stored by its position in the database, not its name. That causes the problem that filters (and,as said above perhaps even scripts) often do unwanted things after changing the database layout. An example: You have a database with the structure: first_name last_name adress email friend Now you create a filter with which only the records are showed where "friends" is set to "TRUE". No, because you notice that this is better, you replace the field "adress" by the fields "street_number", "zip", "city", "state" and "country". If you rebuild the database, view it and select the "friend"-filter created above you get no results displayed. If you have a look at the filter you see that thefield "city" is selected instead of the field "friends". That seems to be because the position of the field "friend" in the database was stored when creating the filter, not its name. And now, after the change in the structure of the database, the field "city" is at this position. I know that a database should be layouted in a way that the layout only has to be changed as few as possible. But I think like it is now it is hard work to edit all filters and scripts to do what they sshould do after changing the database`s structure. A possible solution could be to adress the fileds by their name instead of their position in the db. Then something should be added to avoid the creation of a db with more that one field having the same name (what is possible at the moment). Preverably an error message that returns you to the layout editing window _without_ resetting the values you entered before.

The grafitti area works, but not the keyboard That`s normal. The "Copy","Paste"... menu doesn`t work there too. A workaround is to use a attachable hardware keyboard for Palms. Don`t use a too small one, if you use one with the same size as a notebook keyboard (can be foldet together to a bit more than the size of the Palm) typing is just fantastic.
