John,

I have recently purchased this product. I wish to use it to enter data into an excel spreadsheet. Using the "return" key in a "macro" results in the cursor jumping to the next cell vertically. Unfortunately I want the movement to be horizontal. Is it possible to use the "tab" or "cursor" keys in a macro in order to accomplish this. I have tried it without success. Should this not be implemented currently would it be possible for a future release?

Regards,

Andrew

I recently cannot enter new calendar items, notes, etc. and get error 0x8007000E on my Pocket PC2003 using Agenda Fusion 6. How can I resolve this?

[Developer One Support]

We have not heard of that error message and we have not offered support for the old 6.x versions for a couple of years now. So please clarify, Since you have owned the program for 3-4 years and this has not happened -- What recently changed, do you have a new device? Did you do a hard reset? Did you try to soft reset the device and reinstall the program to see if that clears the behavior? If you wish to reinstall and you do not have a download file or if your file is very old, please us a fresh download of version 6.86 from this web page,

http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/download_archive.htm scroll down a bit on the page to see the 6.86 download buttons.

[cjonge]

I have uninstalled fusion and installed the newer version 6.86 after downloading from your website. Still I get the message "Unable to save changes to appointment. (0x8007000E)" with heading "Pocket Outlook Error", when trying to enter a new appointment. The strange thing is that syncing with my pc works fine, and new appointments entered on my pc appear nicely on my pda (both syncing with my home pc with XP and Outlook 2003 and with my work laptop with Vista and Outlook 2007). I just cannot enter new appointments on my pda....... It worked fine until recently. The only change I can think of is my new laptop with Vista and Outlook 2007. I have 8.36 MB storage memory and 17.92 MB program memory free. Any ideas?

[Developer One Support]

You do not mention which device you are using. Be sure that you have Agenda Fusion loaded to the main memory only, maybe you installed to a memory card. Agenda Fusion will not work properly from a memory card. Maybe your device has some problems, as devices get old they need to be replaced unfortunately as they get buggy. You also did not mention if soft resetting the device clears the issue, please try that as well.

I am using HP iPAQ 2210 and still have the same problem.

I have read something about a recurrence limit of 1300. I have no idea how many recurrent entries I have, but the calendar totals 3400 "entries" (if you select category view). Am I just running out of space? How to compact?

[Developer One Support]

Have you looked at limiting the amount of data that you sync with the device/PC? In ActiveSync you can change the time frame for 'Calendar' items that you sync. Then the data remains on your PC and you are not clogging up the device with excess data. If you are not familiar with this setting, connect your device to your PC and let ActiveSync run. When ActiveSync shows finished on the PC, go there to choose View > Details, then double click on 'Calendar' there and you will see the settings options for limiting the time frame of data that you are syncing.

[cjonge]

Mm, does not work. Setting a limited timeframe of only a week before and after does not thrink the appointment database nor does it delete already existing appointments on the pda.....

[Developer One Support]

It sounds like you are not using ActiveSync, because in ActiveSync there are not settings for a week before and after. This question is not related to any of our software, we attempted to help but it appears that you need to contact the tech support for the sync software that you are using. If the sync is set properly, you can limit the data that is sent to the device.

[cjonge]

With ActiveSync 4.2 Dutch language you can set any week before and after at 0,1,2,4,12,... (second bullet in Options). But this is only for future syncs and does not thrink the present appointment database on my pda, which is now 1,17 MB so rather big. Can I delete this one and sync with a limited window?

[Developer One Support]

Please contact ActiveSync tech support so they can help you resolve this. We are not sync experts and are not familiar if and what the differences are in the Dutch version 4.2 and the English 4.5 versions that we use.

I would love to see a time-series heatmap view of all of the metrics I am tracking in IfitOne. The fact that IFO already assigns heatmap-style color coding to the daily metrics results seems to suggest that this feature is already on the roadmap, but I'll advocate for it nonetheless.

Tracking my progress on each of the metrics over time would show me whether I am improving, or losing ground on the day-to-day decisions that go into losing weight (and improving productivity). This is far more useful than showing me if I am gaining or losing weight.

An example - I am tracking quality and duration of sleep, as well as several factors that contribute to sleep quality: caffeine intake, sugar, night snacks, exercise. I want to see what the trends are for these factors over time, rather then having to look at each day separately. Several of these factors can have multi-day impacts, for example (e.g. caffeine).

I _really_ love IFitOne, and have started trying to convince my friends (and my spouse!) that this tool makes tracking my daily scorecard easier than any app I have seen since I built my own using HandDBase back in the 90's.

Keep up the good work, and let me know if you need a beta tester for new versions!

[hindmost9]

IfitOne is a fantastic app, but it would be a huge improvement if the data could be synced to my desktop for viewing and analysis. I would love to be able to take the data and export the charts to my facebook account, e.g. (possibly with some sanitizing). The heatmaps of the various metrics would be _ideal_ to post to facebook, so my friends could help hold me accountable for making good choices.

Thanks for all the hard work - I have become a serious fanboy since I found the customizable metrics feature!

[hindmost9]

I would love to have a discussion forum/community for IFitOne users to share their strategies with the tool. As an example, here is the current schema I am using for my IFitOne metrics - how are other users using the tool?

My target is improved personal productivity, with weight management as a side-effect. I have defined a number of personal metrics to track my daily decisions, events that cause stress, and my productivity, and would love to share those with others with similar goals.

Is there a place to do this (besides the moribund support forums) ?
Am I the only fanboy to date ?

When I add a new metric to IFitOne, it 'breaks' the historical data, which makes the summary data useless.

Example: Assume I have 4 metrics (A,B,C,and D), with data for 1 month, then add a new metric (B.1) so there are now 5: A,B,B.1,C,D
When I export data, I will get a spreadsheet for the past month, with all 5 values recorded for each day. However, the values will not be aligned correctly:
A has data for A
B has data for B
B.1 has historical data for C (!)
C has historical data for D (!)
D has no historical data

In the summary page, D will also show 0% met, and B.1 will have a completion percentage even though I haven't entered any data for it.

There are other failure modes for this bug:
If I change the threshold for a metric (e.g. from "no more than 2" to "no more than 3"), the threshold is applied to all historical data as well. This also affects the summary screens - the metric will show a much higher completion percentage than it should.

This bug is particularly painful since I tinker with the metrics weekly, as I learn more factors that are relevant to my goals, or decide that there are factors which are no longer relevant. I effectively don't get any benefit from the history and summary functions.

[hindmost9]

When I accidentally selected "delete all data" (I intended to "export my data", and hit confirm without realizing I had chosen the wrong option - should those really be adjacent on the menu?), I was horrified to find that all of my customized metrics had been erased, and I was stuck with the default IFitOne metrics! (actually, I am guessing that I hit the delete all data option, based on the results - I don't actually know why the app apparently reset on me...)

This is particularly frustrating, as the logs are still present on disk with the metrics defined. I had to recreate the metrics, and lost all history - sigh. It was almost a consolation that the history was all corrupt anyway because of the "failure to change historical data" bug I filed a minute ago...

Perhaps something else happened to reset the app back to factory defaults?

[hindmost9]

So, as I learn how to use the tool, I have found I need to be able to manage the data to work around some of the limits in the tool.

Bug: IFO will corrupt the history of any metrics after the point of insertion if I try to insert them in the list.
Workaround: I only add new metrics at the _end_ of the list. Unfortunately, this breaks my sorting for my metrics (by type).
Anything smarter that I can try?


Bug: IFO includes corrupted history in calculating success percentages on the "Daily Goals Met" screens. (corruption caused by changing schema metrics at various points over the past 2 months).

Workaround 1 (Failed):
I tried to use the "date range" function to only consider newer data. However, the Daily Goals Met screens don't use the "date range" restriction - they appear to include all of history regardless of the "date range" I have selected (success percentages don't change no matter what I select).

Workaround 2: I deleted the log files for the dates prior to my schema change. This seemed to work - the success percentages are correct for the remaining history. It was sad to lose my progress on weight from that prior period, though.

+ Any better way of restricting the data that is used in the application
+ Is there any way to edit the log files to fix corrupted data? Editing the data using the UI is tedious when you have more than a week's data or so...

And, I am also interested to know if the support forums are active any more? Any chance of getting a support forum for IFitOne any time soon?

[hindmost9]

I created a "fans of IFitOne" facebook group, to share ideas with other fans (in the event that there _are_ any other fans :-).

http://www.facebook.com/groups/create.php?customize&gid=101799329802#/group.php?gid=101799329802

Would it be possible to get permission to use the IFitOne image as the image for the group? I took the liberty of uploading it, but will take it down if there are copyright concerns.

[Developer One Support]

Thank you for the Facebook page, you have our permission to use the logo as you have posted or any of the screenshots from our website, etc.
