Natara Programmers Refuse To Listen To Their Customers

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 20:29:24 +0000

Can somebody in the executive offie tell me why Natara REFUSES to listen to their customers?

If you read through the forums you will see many requests for a IPhone, Blackberry and Android version. MOST pocket PC users have put away their pocket pcs and palms and switched to one of the 3 mentioned smartphones and now they can not use their software. I for one have been a Daynotz user for many years but about 2 years ago I put away my pocket pc for a blackberry and will not go back. Where I used to be on Daynotz many times a day, now I never use it since it is only available on my laptop.

I do not understand a company that is not willing to progress.

Anybody else agree with me or am I alone in my beliefs?

Am I wrong about PPC and Palms? Are they not fading away? Are people still caring them in addition to their cell phones /smartphones?

Windows 7

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 20:27:19 +0000

I just upgraded to a Windows 7 Home Premium netbook and set up DayNotez which I am using and syncing OK to my TX, but it is very,very slow at times, with regular 'not responding' messages. Is this going to be normal with Windows 7?
Also the dates format in the custom view is not correct ie 3/24/2011 rather than my preferred 24/3/2011, which seems to be OK in other views. Is this a bug?

Daynotez On Android

Sat, 10 Sep 2011 18:55:54 +0000

I used daynotez on the PC smartphone and it was the best of the best of that type application. I have transitioned to the MyTouch (android) with tmobile and can find a lot of note apps for this phone, but non as good as Daynotez. With roughly 30 new android phones currently hitting the market, you guys thinking about developing an android version?

I use 3Bananna software for notes and it does 'cloud' sync with my data which is stored on a server somewhere. Kinda neat. I also use SplashID which does a wireless sync with my desktop on demand. Either method is good, but like your desktop software - so would prefer the wireless sync method.

Any hope for an android version?

Linux Daynotez Desktop Under Development -- Any Interest?

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 18:17:17 +0000

Greetings,

A few years ago there was some activity on this forum from people who wanted to see a native linux DayNotez desktop. I'm writing one for my own use, using wxGTK for GUI and sqlite3 for data storage. So far I've got the test harness reading every record from the PalmOS database, converting it to a PC record that can be stored in the database, then converting it back to PalmOS format. A compare of each record with its original verifies a good conversion. The sync framework is in place but not complete yet (I'm forcing a slow sync every time).

I intend to make it look and feel just like the Windows version. It will run on linux only; the Windows desktop already works just fine. All libraries will be statically linked in, which means the executable will be quite large, but will have NO dependencies. It should run on any X terminal.

So... is there still any interest? If so, let me know so I'm not wasting my time. I know Natara won't be able to support it so I'll be happy to offer support on an email-only basis.

Cheers, Bert

Is Daynotez Dead?

Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:26:37 +0000

I'm curious, is daynotez being developed any further? I cannot find any news of future versions for new phones or pdas. I've been holding off upgrading my windows phone (probaly windows phone 7), in the hopes of SOME news of a compatible Daynotez version. I would go Android or even !Gasp! iPhone, but I have yet to find a comparable app that will satisfy my needs as Daynotez has! I've even followed Natara on twitter, but find NO mention of any new developement! I am/will continue to use this excelent product, but I don't know how much longer I can hold off! Even if there was some kind of emulater for the new OS's. Just my 2 bits worth.

iPhone version

Thu, 17 Feb 2011 14:05:36 +0000

I am giving serious thought to jumping to the iPhone when my current contract expires in August. I love your program and would like to see a version for the iPhone. The desktop will run on my new Mac under parallels so only the iPhone port would be absolutely necessary. Is this anything you have under consideration?

I sincerely hope so.
Thanks
Walt

Cannot Run Daynotez Desktop 1.5

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 21:56:16 +0000

For quite a few years I have used the PPC version of your Daynotez application along with the companion desktop version. A few months ago, I started using a new phone (Palm Pre) which from what I have seen and read, is not compatible with current Daynotes software. This in itself is not a major problem since I am not planning on keeping the Palm long term anyway.

The problem I am encountering is for some reason, the Desktop application just stopped working...it appears to load and I can see the application in Task Manager, but the application is not visible. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop version in spite of not being able to run the PPC app, both prior to and after cleaning the registry..(I'm running XP SP3 by the way). I have also downloaded 1.7 beta update as well but the same behavior.

So my question is this; are there other suggested troubleshooting measures that I need to take in order to successfully run Daynotez again on my Laptop. I believe these issues are specific to my laptop since I can install all Daynotez versions successfully on other machines.

Thanks...

Export Bug?

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 11:57:55 +0000

I am exporting a number of categories and have found a couple of truncated entries. Records that have these two characters together "<~" are truncated starting at those characters.

It's a weird thing. Anyone else have this?

Dnz On Win Phone 7?

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 23:17:26 +0000

I'm waiting impatiently for Win Phone 7 and hope that DNZ and Bonsai will be there at some point.

Thanks for some great software.
I've been using them since 2000.

Reconnecting Dnz Active Sync After Device Hard Reset

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:00:24 +0000

I've rebuilt my device (Sprint HTC TouchPro 2, stock ROM) and need to reconnect my desktop DNZ with the handheld DNZ.

I see the DNZ option in Mobile Device Center but can't set checkbox or access options.

Everything worked well before the rebuild.

Nothing has changed on the desktop.
Windows 7.
DNZ 1.7.4
DNZ runs fine there.

The handheld can connect to the desktop via USB and I see the device in Mobile Device Center.

I installed DNZ on the handheld from the Marketplace.
Ver: 1.6.1.9
It runs fine there and has all my data, the DNZ file is on the storage card and survived the reset.

I've done this before, re-established the sync after a rebuild, on this device a couple times but figure there's probably some tip or trick for doing it the right way.

I started DnzPPCSetup.exe but chickened out instead of overwriting the newer DNZ app on the handheld. It wanted to install 1.5.3.8

Thanks.

Daynotez Is In The Marketplace

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:49:43 +0000

I'm rebuilding my HTC TouchPro 2, reinstalling everything.

Ran across DNZ in the Marketplace.
The install went fine.

My 5 * review will help to counter the one person that couldn't get it to run.

Daynotez Desktop Without Pda / Hh Sync

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 21:58:33 +0000

Hi

My PDA / HH broke down a while ago and I have continued to use Daynotez desktop for a lot of my work which requires regular journal entries. I am now moving to a new laptop and just became aware that I cannot access my migrated Daynotez notes without doing a hotsync with a HH device. I have many hundreds of Daynotez entries which I am unable to access on my new laptop. Help with a workaround or some solution to this problem would be much appreciated!

Finger Scrolling

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:52:07 +0000

I have been using DayNotez from the first day it showed up on Windows Mobile Marketplace. I love it; it is exactly the application I have been looking for for a long time. My only two suggestions to improve it would be:

1. In the notes list view, it would be a be a huge improvement if I could finger scroll up and down through the entries.

2. It would be very helpful, as mentioned in this forum elsewhere, to be able to attach pictures. I often have to take handwritten notes which I want attached to a DayNotez note. As it is, I have to create a separate note in MS OneNote with an attached picture of the handwritten notes, and then reference them in my DayNotez entry.

Please Help Me

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:53:12 +0000

hello,
Sorry for my English, I write from Spain, I use the DayNotez program on my Pocket PC, but a failure in the Pocket PC has deleted all the files less daynotez.pdb.
Can you tell me if there is any way to recover the database.
Thanks for your reply

Running Daynotez Without Palm Device

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:07:12 +0000

Hello,

I have been using Daynotez for over 5 years. I am now using a Blackberry curve and I am really missing Daynotez on my phone but I love the desktop application.

i have a new desktop computer and I installed Daynotez desktop software on it and I am having trouble moving my data to it. It wants to see a palm device. Is there a way to avoid this link?

Do you have any advice?

Thanks

Using MS Access to open desktop database

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:47:24 +0000

I've seen instructions posted before, but I think they were for a previous version of DayNotez (and didn't seem to work because I believe you increased the security privs).

I couldn't find anything else on the site, so could you provide instructions for opening up a Daynotez database in Microsoft Access?

Great thanks.

User Accellerometer To Change Portrait / Landcape Mode

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 19:07:08 +0000

Its handy when the app flips mode for you, especially on newer phones. Not sure how hard it is but it is helpful for day notes. Specifically I am asking for the ppc versions, I don't know if the other os's support it or not. Thanks for your consideration

Camera Integration For Pictures In Notes

Sun, 30 May 2010 23:05:39 +0000

While files can be attached, it would be very helpful if the camera could be launched from Daynotez to shoot an image and that picture file directly attached to a note. One good use is "white board scraping", getting the picture from a meeting for updating notes later.

DayNotez Uses

Tue, 25 May 2010 14:25:00 +0000

I've used Palm DayNotez (handheld 4 yrs. & desktop 1 yr.) essentially for journaling, since I have other apps for other functions. But I find myself wondering if other users have used it for other purposes. (For example, Steph just mentioned elsewhere in NUF some multiple uses made of Bonsai.) Any input you may have on other DayNotez uses would be appreciated.

Blackberry

Sun, 23 May 2010 03:49:54 +0000

I moved from a pocket pc over a year ago to a Blackberry. I think there will be a major move during the next year or two from pcoket pc's to Blackberrys, Iphones, and Android models.

Will Natara keep up with the move and develop Daynotez for these.

I now have Daynotz on my desktop but nothing to sync too since I bought my Blackberry. I, like many others will not go back to pocket pcs after moving to smartphones like Blackberrys.

I have tried many other diary/journal programs (as has many other people) but none compare to Daynotz.

I need my Daynotz on my Blackberry

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Daynotez & Windows Mobile 6.5

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:54:45 +0000

Just joined...
Am looking for a suitable Note taking application for my new HTC HD2 and thought I would try DayNotez for Windows Mobile.

I've downloaded the trial version plus the two SQL Server files.
Installed the two SQL files first followed by DayNotezPPC15.armv4.cab

It's at this stage where DayNotez brings up an 'Exception' error and refuses to load.

Therefore, my question is:- Does DayNotez run with Windows Mobile 6.5?

Many thanks in advance.

Export Date Range As 1 Date Per File

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:06:05 +0000

I know that, using the Custom tab in DayNotez Desktop, a range of dates can be exported to a single file and that a single date/selection can be exported to a single file.

Is there an automated way, documented or not, to select a range of dates to export in the Custom tab and then have each date export to a single file such as YYYYMMDD.txt so that a range of 10 calendar dates would produce 10 exported files? I realize this can be done one date at a time but that becomes quite laborious.

If this cannot be done within DayNotez are there any software tools you may know of that might handle this kind of export using a DayNotez CSV export file?

Thank you for your consideration.

Convert Palm To Windows Mobile Desktop

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:25:01 +0000

I am a long time user of Palm DayNotez. Last updated to DayNotez 3 for Palm OS Desktop Edition 1.7.2 build 247. I have recently moved to a Samsung Omnia II with Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro.

I know I must install Daynotez Pocket PC cab to the phone. How should I proceed in going from DayNotez 3 for Palm OS Desktop Edition to DayNotez for Pocket PC Desktop Edition? Do I export all entries from Palm Desktop and import to Pocket PC Desktop? Should I use Windows Add Remove Programs to delete Palm Desktop before installing Pocket PC Desktop? Are there any other considerations?

Thanks.
