Calculated fields are almost ready for beta distribution.  They were 
removed from 0.3.3 because it some internal modifications were necessary 
that would make scripts from the snapshot incompatible with the new 
version.  Now that the changes have been made, the script engine should be 
very stable, and will be possible to expand the engine and improve 
functionality without breaking old scripts.

    Excuse me, what does that mean? That expressions are overruled or
need update for the next version? I would consider calculateds very
important feature of DB...

[pilot-db-list] en.rcp, etc.

[Mike R. <mik...@al...>]

Marc,

Is the sourceforge CVS for DB up-to-date? I noticed that my en.rcp changes
didn't make it into 0.3.3, nor did they get submitted to CVS. I can submit
by myself, of course, but since I can't compile DB (still fighting with
"missing" .h files), I'd rather give you the chance to try things out
first. Let me know how you would like to proceed.

A quick user-type question: I have a Palm IIIxe (16 gray levels). I tried
the color version of DB, and things look pretty nice, but I would like to
darken some of the gray levels (title line should be black, alternating
lines in the view a bit darker). Any way to do that without recompiling?

Mike

[pilot-db-list] Problem??

[Mike F. <fa...@ya...>]

I downloaded the latest version (0.3.3)onto a Visor Prism.  Both of the
English version (color and B/W) with Mobile DB, program loads okay, I
can read help notes, but when I select a DB, I get a fatal alert.  Also
the plugin does not show up to select in any of the versions I loaded.

I then downloaded the snapshot version (2001-11-07) and it works.  It
appears that the size of the en-color file is 117kb, but the size of
the 3.3 en-color file is 119kb, even though they have the same name.

[pilot-db-list] Questions

[Richard S. <sch...@us...>]

Is there a way to filter based on a boolean field?  What do I search for?
The pdb's have 0x00 and 0x01, but searching for 0 or 1 doesn't work.

Also, is there a way to set a specific filter and multi-column sort for
each list-view?  i.e.- can list view 1 have a filter of A=1 and a sort of
A, B, C, while list view 2 has a filter of A=2 and a sort of C, B, D?  It
seems that filter and sort are independent of list-view.

The reason I'm asking is I have a db with a boolean which signifies one of
two states for a record.  It would be nice if view 1 showed those records
with unchecked booleans and view 2 showed records with checked booleans,
and checking a boolean would have the effect of "moving" a record from view
1 to view 2 automatically because of the filters.  And of course, it would
be nice if each view had it's own sort criteria.  Just a small wish-list
from a guy who wishes he had time to mess around with your source himself!

BTW, thanks for making date columns "nullable" in 0.3.3!  Awesome.

Thanks!

[pilot-db-list] Boolean field.

[Fab <kr...@bi...>]

	Hello all.


	In the previous release, 0.3.2, I used "1" or "0" to
filter on a boolean field. It doesn't work anymore. I tried
true/True/TRUE but didn't find anything. What is the trick ?

	I retried yesterday to configure a palm development
environnement on my Debian Linux box, by deinstalling all
related Debian packages to manualy install the last versions
of pilrc and prc-tools. I got one step further but ended with
problems recompiling prc-tools. Can someone tell me where
live this include files : libiberty.h and bfd.h ? TIA.

	Fab.

But it's not for you, i know that you know Pilot-DB and you don't use the dealers for our software. It's for the others futures users.
For PalmGear i haven't the access, it's only Tom who can update our page.

Yes, there is a mistake from them. They created a new software area for Pilot-DB, and AFTER they give me the access to the old one. I changed the old one i will see the rest.

[pilot-db-list] Re:Tucows Author Resource Center Rejection for Pilot-DB

[Chalain Marc<mar...@vo...>]

?????
Pilot-DB 0.3.3 is NOT a beta version, it's completely stable, it's a release. If you do this discrimination because there is a 0 in the version number, this number is here only to discribe the version application kernel. I remember to you that Pilot-DB is under GPL.
Pilot-DB is under a version number 1.0.0 for a long time, and for every users it's NOT a beta version.

Marc should get all the thanks. He and others mentioned by him have done all 
the great work for this release. I tried out the new version on the emulator

version.

RE: [pilot-db-list] DB 0.3.3 filters

[hermann g. <hgr...@gm...>]

hi 2 all ;-)

my filters proposal lead to a lot of answers and reactions, i know 
that sometimes an seemingly easy to implent feature is sometimes hard 
to realize, my proposals are only _proposals_ ,for the wish list and 
not a bug report or anything like else !!

Jesper is right, you can't overwrite a filter with a blank searching 
filter, the old one still exist, but it doesn't matter as long as 
they can simply been overwritten - it's nearly the same as deleting 
it

marc and tom are doing a great job with DB, i agree whith Jesper : 
Thanks for a great program! and thanks for doing all the hard work 
under GPL!  ;-)

i don't critizise the program or the work they've done !!! i tell 
only the impressions i have and the things i'm missing most when i 
work with DB. the aim is to make a big program bigger !!! ;-)

so long, a happy DB user ...

Sv: [pilot-db-list] DB 0.3.3 filters

[<j.j...@ge...>]

First of all: I agree that this is a great program. My preferred =
database program for the Palm
and it does not matter whether the filters work or not. Being a software =
programmer myself, I
also understand that some seemingly "easy" change might actually be very =
hard and time
consuming to implement.

One of you said that "all-fields" should have something to do with =
db-tools. I don't think so: I
haven't used these tools. I simply upgraded the Palm device with DB =
0.3.3 and all the databases
I had on it at the time of upgrading now got the extra "all fields" =
view.

Re filters: I have also tried to "redefine" a filter to search for the =
null string (by leaving the search field blank),
but it doesn't work: the filter still works as I made it the first time. =
It seems to me that a filter can only
be changed to search for something else being a non-null string. I don't =
know how much my opinion
can count here, but I would propose to make it possible to delete and =
edit a filter as the first thing
and then perhaps wait enabling filter naming (given that it takes a long =
time to implement). Deleting
and editing a filter is hard to miss if you want to use filters at all, =
while filter renaming is not as
important (in my humble opinion, of course).

Thanks for a great program! and thanks for doing all the hard work under =
GPL!  ;-)

[pilot-db-list] Mobile DB plug-in

[Alex M. <al...@ho...>]

Hi,

   I just downloaded 0.3.3 release - and I'd like to say that it is very 
stable and usefull, keep on execelent job!
   I only discovered one issue that is strange to me - I installed 
information and Mobile DB plug-ins, but for some reason MobileDB does not 
appear in the plug-in list, so I can not open any MobileDB database. (I use 
Palm Vx, OS 3.5.3 and I tried both B/W and color-iconic versions).
   Has anybody faced such behaviour?

Alex

PS. information plug-in works fine.
