amitregev,

I had a quick question and a suggestion for Papyrus. First I am moving to MAC so I will need to get the .cab vesion of your application (along with countless others I have) so where do I find them on your site?

Second my suggestion is when you reschedule an appointment and move to the current date you need to edit the date by taping in new numbers. I would be better if it would take you to the calender so you could see what date you want. This is helpful if you want to reschedule.

thanks.

Hi ppcmd :lol:

As mwille said we always include the CAB file also inside the ZIP file :(

Regarding the suggestion - I agree this will be cool and I promise we will also add this (might take a bit, but we are always workin here...)

And now... here is a small preview of what is coming next in a day or two :D

Sweet, and thanks. Sorry I missed the cab file. I have a lot of work to do before I move MAC (dont' want to use my wifes Windows Machine) so I need to get all my apps that don't use desktop interfaces in cab format.

Thanks again.

I hope you will enjoy the new version! there are still a lot of things to do regarding the category icons, like supporting the category icons on all views and so on... but this version introduces the concept of category icons with Papyrus and I hope it will work fine for all of you :D

Please let me know what you think about the new additions :lol:

What's new in Papyrus version 1.0.03?

* New option to add icons to categories under the categories picker dialog added.

* New option to remove icon from category added.

* New icon picker dialog added to pick category icons.

* 59 sample category icons added with Papyrus.

ver_1003_1.jpg

* New option added under the monthly view settings to choose if you wish to view category icons/timelines or both on the monthly view. Currently you can't view both when the quick-list view is active.

ver_1003_2.jpg

* New appointments conflict icon added on daily view for conflicting appointments.

ver_1003_3.jpg

* From now you can switch between all four views and use both the list and grid views without choosing only one view between the two.

* 'Week view format to use' setting under the general settings removed.

* New 'Rotation active views' setting added under the general settings to set which views to have on the left rotation views button.

Good work Amit.

On a slight downside; it seems like the font has changed, certainly in the monthly view. The dates don't seem so well defined and the text in the preview pane seems to be a bit squashed up (tall and thin). (I don't have ClearType on).

Hi fozzie :lol:

To make the category icons fit inside the monthly view while you also use quick list view we have to make the fonts one size lower - this is the reason it looks a bit differently, but it is the same font. If you will enable cleartype it will look ok, but I guess you prefer it without cleartype.

I will make the changes for next update that the font will only be one size smaller when the category icons are enabled, this way, if you don't choose to view category icons the font will remain the same size as before; I can see you are not using category icons so this solution will solve the fonts for you :(

Thanks for the explanation Amit; that solution would work for me.

(I'd also like to be able to have the preview pane, timelines and icons but I guess there's not enough space?)

(Will we see the reminder time on the appointment screen & multi-day appointment start/end time fix in the preview pane soon? :lol:)

Thanks for all your work on this.

I'm new to windows smartphones. I have an Orange SPV C500. And I've been downloading lots of applications for it and trying them.

Papyrus is THE BEST. It is soooo useful and easy to use. And there've been two updates since I bought it.

A fantastic piece of work.

If there was a Nobel Prize for smartphone software.....well, I know who should get it!
