Hello Smartphoners

  Well thats good to hear.You guys have indeed great plans and i think its a good compromise for all users
as said befor: Thumbs up!!!

Just one little thing. To buy you app, pockettv Team, or almost any other app from other producers, a credit card is allways needed.
If there wer another way of payment, id spend more money on apps as well...
I know i could allways ask a friend who has one but i dont want to bother my friends all the time to buy something by Internet.
Is there no other way???
Thanx for all your works 8)

Usually credit-cards are the safest and most convenient ways to pay for software.

Other ways include means like PayPal, but I don't think Handango and PocketGear/Smartphone.Net currently take PayPal.  You could suggest them to accept PayPal, maybe if they get many requests, they will support it.

Cash or checks require manual manipulations, so they are out of the question, since the entire payment process must be totally automated in order to limit costs (it would cost more than $5 to process a check, so it is not acceptable for small transactions).

We sell some of our applications through Kagi, which accept checks and cash, but it makes the entire process complicated and very slow (several weeks).

Good idea - I'm for it.

We have release AttachSmart Classic 0.0.10 with the changes discussed above, namely:

- No size limit (for any type of document)

- No limits on the number of JPEG images (photos) that can be sent

- For others types of documents, limit to 3 per 24h period.

AttachSmart Signature Edition and Enterprise Editions have no such limits.

Can't seem to get this to work on my E200 with the latest Orange FR ROM. Nothing gets attached to the email somehow :-(

[The PocketTV Team]

Bummer... That's the first time someone reports a Smartphone where AttachSmart does not work.

Maybe Microsoft broke something in their email API.

Can you tell us the exact OS version and build ?

It should be in Start > Settings > About.

Also, if you can, please send the log file that is created when you run PocketTV Classic on your E200 (get is free from www.pockettv.com).  This will give us more information on this ROM.

To create this log file, see instructions at http://www.pockettv....makelog_sp.html.

Thanks!

Hi,

SmartAttach is great - thanks very much for the effort in making it.

Only gripe is this:

It's impossible to save a .cab or a .exe file that's attached to an incoming email. As soon as you click on it, it starts installing.

Any way around this?

Thanks

> It's impossible to save a .cab or a .exe file that's attached to an incoming email.

Yes, for CAB files, this is true, when you open them, they get installed and the CAB is automatically removed when installation is completed.

Exe files will not be removed, so you should have no problem copying them.  But you need to open them from Inbox, which will execute them.

One way to recover the CAB file is to get it before opening the attachment.  I forgot in what folder the email client stores it, but if I recall well, the attached files have different file names before they get opened (i.e. different from the name visible in the email), so the right one is hard to locate if you have several emails with attachments in your Inbox.  Then, you can rename and copy the attached CAB file somewhere else using a file explorer, or using the browser included in AttachSmart.

Also, you can try the following: Open the CAB file, but do not answer to the confirmation message from the installer. Instead, go back to AttachSmart using the BACK button, or using Start/Program.  Then you should be able to see the CAB file from AttachSmart  in "Save Documents".

You can retrieve the cab at IPSMApplication DataVolatile

I can't seem to save attachments using AttachSmart on my i600.  AttachSmart instructs me to go back to Inbox and select the attachment before pressing the OK button in AttachSmart , which I do.  But when I reopen AttachSmart after selecting the attachment, it doesn't seem to know that I've selected anything.  Any ideas?

[The PocketTV Team]

Not sure why it does not work on your phone.

When you go to Inbox and Open the attachment, Inbox copy the attached file in a folder, and when you return to AttachSmart and the OK button, you should be in this folder and you should see the attachement that you opened from Inbox.

You must Open the attachement the attachement from Inbox. Merely selecting it is not sufficient.  Note that even if inbox tells you that it cannot open the attachement, it will still work: AttachSmart should let you see it, so you can save it or forward it to someone else.

[snowman0792]

Hmm. On the i600, I don't have a copy command that I can find.  Maybe the problem is ClearVue.  I start off in AttachSmart.  It tells me to go to Inbox and open the attachment., then press OK.  I then go to my Inbox, select the attachment.  When I open a .jpg, it comes up in ClearVue.  I then close ClearVue, which takes me to my home screen and then I open AttachSmart, which is still on the press OK screen.  When I press OK, it goes to a folder called attachments, which is empty.  Actually, I have ClearVue on a 15 day trial, so a trial acceptance screen comes up before the picture opens in ClearVue.  Have you tried AttachSmart on the i600 with ClearVue?

[The PocketTV Team]

> I then close ClearVue, which takes me to my home screen and then I open AttachSmart

That's may be the problem.  You must go back to AttachSmart without closing ClearView.

One way to do that is to press the Home Button, then select AttachSmart in the program list.

Another way is to press the BACK Key until you see AttachSmart.

Another way is to map AttachSmart on a hot-key and press this hot-key.

> Have you tried AttachSmart on the i600 with ClearVue?

No, and we don't have a i600 anymore, so we cannot test.  It is possible that Clearview, for some reason, copies the JPEG file somewhere else, but it is unlikely.  Try getting back to AttachSmart without closing ClearView.

You guys aren't doing anything wrong.  The problem is AttachSmart is looking in the wrong directory for the attachment that has been opened.  The same is happening with my C500.  AttachSmart is looking in StorageMAPIAttachments but and nothing is there.  If however, you navigate to StorageApplication DataVolatile (with AttachSmart) you will find the attachment and can select it and then save it to the directory of your choice.

Can I suggest to the PocketTV Team that they make the attachment directory a user configurable option in AttachSmart?

[The PocketTV Team]

Thanks for the suggestion.

Next time we make a new release of AttachSmart, we will try to fix that and/or to make this folder configurable.

However, if I remember well, the folder StorageApplication DataVolatile is where the attachements are initially placed when email are received, but when in this folder, they don't have any recognizable names, so you cannot tell which is which if you have received several messages with several attachements.

Once you open an attachment, InBox copies the attached file in StorageMAPIAttachments and renames it with its correct name (i.e. as it appears in the email), and from there it will lauch the application that can open this file, if there is one.

This is why AttachSmart asks you to open the attachement, then it will look in StorageMAPIAttachments, rather than in StorageApplication DataVolatile.

But we tested that on Smartphone 2002, and it is possible that Microsoft decided to changed how InBox deals with attachments.

Great application!

[fozzie]

You've got it back to front It used to be in IPSMMAPIAttachments (with an unrecogniseable name) and was temporarily copied to IPSMApplication DataVolatile when opened. I used to manually copy attachments all the time on my original SPV.

The only thing I can see that has changed is that the attachments don't seem to reside in StorageMAPIAttachments any more, although the folder is there.

Still, it would be great to get a fix

No, I think you've got it backward. Our observation (on Smartphone 2002/2003) is that the attachments were copied in IPSMMAPIAttachments (or StorageMAPIAttachments for 2003) with the correct name, and that's where AttachSmart looks for them.

In IPSMApplication DataVolatile (or StorageApplication DataVolatile for 2003), the attachments have an unrecogniseable name.

[fozzie]

You are definitely mistaken.  Come and look now at my original SPV and C500 and I'll show you

Hint: Volatile i.e. the attachment is only there when it is open. Close the messaging app and it goes.

I'm sure other people here will confirm.

Perhaps there's a difference between the SDK and real phones?

[snowman0792]

Sho'nuff.  AttachSmart was looking in the wrong place for the attachment.  The attachment, with its original attachment name, is being stored in My Smartphone/Storage/Application Data/Volatile.  Just for clarity, I'm running the newly updated 2003 operating system on the i600.

Thanks for all of your input.  This is a great add-on that I can't believe MS left out.
