Hello Jenn,

At the moment, there's no functionality to combine modes (e.g. Schedule and Tasks) into one screen for a couple of reasons, the main being that it will become rather cluttered. The idea is that you can quickly look at the Overview tab and see what's coming up. I know it's not really the same as what you describe and I will give this some thought. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Regarding fonts - normally the system font is used, but I can look into adding an option to change that too.

Thank you,

Dennis

Hello Dennis,
I am a physician in Canada with a number of patients who I think would benefit from this program; as well, I think I would enjoy using it as well. I have two questions, about the appearance of the program. First, is there a way to have a split screen, such that the calendar shows the day on half the screen, and that day's tasks listed on the other half of the screen? I used the Palm desktop software for years until I left Mac to use a PC; the PC program is different (and of course neither have the other cool features that yours does) and I miss it terribly! The other question is with regard to font - is it possible to customize the font, for instance, the tasks, so that it matches the great-looking font used on the schedule screen? I find that many programs aren't customizable - again, it's not something essential, but when you're looking at something all day it's nice to have it look the way you want it to!
Thanks,

No, TrialPay would not pay me more than the offer you've chosen, so at most I'd get around 30%, usually around 20-25% of the original price. It's just another channel I use to let people purchase SDS at a discount (or free), but to me personally it's not an attractive option However, I'm glad such an option exists and it does allow people to get SDS cheaper, so in the end it's a win-win situation. If I had to choose between more people using SDS and getting more money per copy sold (but selling less) I'd choose (and that's what I've done) to have more people use it. Cheers!

Hey Dennis, about TialPay, do you get your full ammount from them for the big version i just used them to get your good like software, and i just wanna know how they are treading you

Hi,

You can have an unlimited number of voice messages per day, as long as you create as many diary entries. Basically, the rule is that you can have one voice recording (message) per diary entry. They are stored inside the diary file, so they're not external and are protected by the same encryption and password settings as your whole diary.

Please let me know if I can help you further.

Thanks!

Dennis

P.S. It might be better if you'd PM me or use the forum to ask questions (or my e-mail), because this "Visitor messages" is not the most straight-forward way. Thank you.

Hi Dennis,

I bought SDS4 and used it with joy. Thanks.
One question for you. It seems that I can only see and play one voice message per day even when I record 2 voice messages on the same day. Besides, may I know where do the voice messages stored in the computer?

Hi Toni,

No toubles at all.

It looks like it could be installed with the Marvell hardware drivers (do you have any Marvell hardware?) to possibly provide feedback about your usafe of the hardware/software (drivers?) back to Marvell and *maybe* get updates. It's a bity hazy, as you found out. I'd say it's quite safe to remove it, because if it's really required for something to run, that program will complain You could always reinstall it later if needed.

Does it take a lot of CPU/memory while it's running? Is it running as a service?

Hi Dennis,

Sorry to trouble you.

Would you by chance know what this is: MRVlUsgTracking

I was uninstalling a trial software and noted this as an installation on my system. I have no idea what it is and whether it is safe to remove it. I checked the net it is something that software developers use, but couldn't find anything meaningful to tell me if it is safe to remove it???

Many thanks, Toni

Hi Dennis,

With the benefit of hindsight - 3-4 years of searching for a diary after SDS I have learnt something. I think!!!!

Looking at SDS 4 (BETA 6) I can see some room for changes. For example to:

Make "Planner" link to parameters instead of diary. That, seems now to be the logical choice. People make a daily entry in the planner and enter their daily parameters.

As for "Diary" just make that a notes section with "outliner" view - like windows explorer: tree view.

Honestly, that seems to me to be the logical direction. For the record, I have been using Essential PIM, and it is perfect except for the graph view. SDS could learn a lot, I think from what they are doing.

Another thing, their total package including exe is 5-6 mb and SDS is 12+. What are you ding different.

Just an observation, no disrespect intended here. Just suggesting a way for the future. By all means release this version, but keep these comments in mind if you think they are valid.

Regards, Toni
