Hi, nice weather
can u tell me where i get
Requires: http.dll, formlib.dll, FilesEx.dll
also need: .NET3.5 and NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab
hope can add few features:
WIND <- this one pls
RealFeel <-this one no rush
Presure & ETC
really nice, how about an addition for maps, just the like marsware's weather panel if you've ever used it, there they ask for the URL of the map image and they just keep fetching it.
Doesent work:Error Loading Program
Pocket Weather is the commercial name of SBSH's app....
You'd better find another name for this soft...
Why not :
Pocket Hurricane
Pocket Forecast
TTWWY : Take The Weather With You
TTWWU : Take The Weather With U
T2W2U : Same, but more like modern apps... A_C
Hope this will help...

I disagree

If we already have Marsware that doesn't need NET CF3.5, why not just keep this one nice and simple.
Once youo start adding features galore it just get too resource hungry (memory!)

Sorry about that - I did not use the correct compiler options when compiling to the Pocket PC platform. I have recompiled and the DLLs were merged into the executable.
I will have to troubleshoot the CF3.5 - I didn't target that framework so it should not asking for that. It may be related to the missing DLLs issue, since both require the B4PPC compiler to use "optimized" options.
I have re-uploaded into post #1 - thanks for testing.

This sounds like an interesting idea. Do you have a URL for the marsware's weather panel? I am not familiar with this.

Thanks! I like "Pocket Forecast" and will use that (if it's not in use already). I wrote a wiki application called "Pocket Wiki" so I wanted to stick with the same naming convention.
I don't want to use any application names similar to the great programs A_C writes. I'm not worthy.

I uninstalled Microsoft CF3.5 on my PDA and ran the updated ppcWeather (11/14/08 v.18) - it works for me. That said, applications seem to always work on the developer's systems all the time so that isn't much of a test.
Could you please retest with the updated version?
Thanks to everyone for their help and feedback.

Thanks for catching that.
I just tested that and that seems to be a new bug after I recompiled with the "optimized settings" - I am not sure what is causing this because the desktop version doesn't do this. Same code, different target environments.
The weather.ini settings themeDir, httpTimeout, and refreshInterval are getting blanked, but the location ids are not. This is strange...
I am going to have to check with the Basic4ppc support team to see why this is doing this.
Now i got zip code working need some setting
need Theme [default]
but still no icon
LOL need move \theme\default\condition folder out to \theme\
should work like charm and also the theme.ini i dont is that cause
your new Version works now
Fix (uploaded v.19)

The code is reading a form textbox variable for the settings that were getting blanked out - I'm not sure why some are ok and others are not. As a work-around, I added code to check to see that there is a value for the form textbox before saving it. Uploaded v.19 and am pursuing this on the B4PPC forums.
Thanks for the testing and feedback!

The first line in the "weather.ini" file should be "themeDir=default". If it says "themeDir=" then won't find the weather icons.
Thanks for the testing feedback.

"Posts that do not contribute to progress are not useful because they make it complicated to find relevant information for people who can help."
Before we start, my thanks go out to sztupy and 6Fg8 for their amazing tools, without them this port wouldn't have been possible. Another big thanks goes to ChainFire for his amazing CFC GUI which saves alot of storage space.
Thanks also go out to xbmod for his work on the VGA port of the new manila which served as an inspiration for this port, and to Captain_Throwback who has helped me with testing (WM6.5) and cabbing up the package.
While xbmod's vga port was a great feat, it did have some shortcomings since it was based on a beta version. We have all waited a long time for a new version, but since xbmod wasn't able to continue his work, I decided to give it a shot myself. This port was not easy, alot of hours have been spent trying to port the layout to VGA. But it's finally getting ready to be released.
This release will not be perfect, the first release will also have limited landscape support, but the new v2.1 manila is a great improvement in terms of stability and performance that make it worthwile.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)
What's this SMS issue about?
- ActiveSync confirmed to be working fine
- Microsoft MyPhone confirmed to be working fine
Possible new solution to PIMBackup!
This solution will screw up some special letters (letters as ç, ü, â etc..)
Kisja said:
Hi, I didn't read all posts, so excuse me if it is already known.
I was able to fix my contacts without readding them (2 SMS send if PimBackup used)!
1. run PIM Backup, select ONLY Contacts for Backup, tap "Next"
2. UNCHECK "Binary Backup"
3. Proceed until finished
4. Unzip the created backup (pib) file
5. Open the contacts_*.csc file with Notepad++ (or any other editor supporting encoding conversion)
6. Select "Format" -> "Convert to ANSI"
7. Save the file
8. Pack the file back into the PIB file (use zip)
9. run PIM Backup again and choose the modified PIB file for restore
10. choose to delete all existing contacts
11. Let PIM Backup assign the columns automatically (";" as separator)
12. Proceed until restore is complete
It worked for me! No SMS bug anymore! So only one SMS is sent!

* UPDATE: Possible solution to PIMBackup problems HERE (thx go to drake2007)
Manila v2.1 (and newer versions like v2.5) are not compatible with the way PIMBackup restores your contacts. If u do use PIMBackup, you'll most likely face an issue when sending 2 messages after one another to the same person (the first message will be sent, but when u press send after your 2nd message, you'll get a message saying "Text Message cannot be sent"). Those who are using ActiveSync should not experience any problems.
here's the final word on the SMS Issue (taken from Dutty's thread):
Regarding manila v2.1 with sms I think one user who had probs sending and recieving through manila interface as narrowed it down to unicode in contacts so probably htc changed few stuff,
So backing up ur old contacts and using manila v2.1 could give u the sms bug before, probably explained why some user who doesnt get like me as I use activesyc to back up all contacts.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so basicly, if u have ever restored contacts from pimbackup, you will most probably get the sms bug (even if u use pimbackup, then activesync, then delete contacts and use activesync to restore contacts)
if u have never used pimbackup, you're good to go
if you did, like me, you will probably have to delete and re-add all your contacts (i tried this out, and basicly i deleted a contact, re-added his number, and voila, sms issue is gone)
I have the Manila Start Menu now and i can't acces windows settings? Where is it?
Go to the settings tab and press all settings, voila you're there
Why is there no weather forecast in the calendar tab?
To enable weather forecast in calendar tab day view, u need to add your city in the weather, then go world clock and make sure your city is selected there as well (the forecast will only be visible if the weather city and clock city are the same)
If that doesn't work, change the following registry key (standard = dword:00000000)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"WorldClock.LocalIndex"=dword:00000001
I can't open my e-mails, how can i fix it?
superman.namrepus said:
For those of you that are having problems with opening email. This is what I have found...
Look at your registry and see if it reads as follows.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\Note]
"Read"="\\Windows\\HTC_read_note.htm"
If this true you need to change it to the following and reset your phone and all should be good.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\Note]
"Read"="\\Windows\\read_note.htm"
I hope this helps as it did for me. This was a problem some time back and some one over at PPCGeeks came up with the fix. I do not remember who though.

WM6.1 Build 21000+ or WM6.5 recommended!!
NOTE: Tachi/Topaz/Rhodium/Qilin Dialer is NOT included in this package, but is NECESSARY for calling from the People tab of Manila. Download links & information regarding the dialers can be found in the Tachi Dialer thread and in this post.
Instructions
1) Disable "TouchFLO 3D" from your Today items. Soft reset.
2) Go to System Settings, "Power", and uncheck all of the Options on the "Advanced" tab (see this post for details/screenshots - thanks dharvey4651)
3) From the "REQUIRED" folder, install the "Gen.Y_Manila_R1_5.cab" (install may take 10 minutes or more). DO NOT RESTART.
4) Install the appropriate Language Pack for your locale (0409 is WWE). DO NOT RESTART. NOTE: Languages besides 0407/0409/0410/0413 are included in the "Additional Languages" folder in a single cab file.
5) Go into the "WM6.1" or "WM6.5" folder (depending, of course, on your build) and install the appropriate version of HTC Scroll. NOW SOFT RESET.
Done!
Optional Installs (included in R1.5 package):
- HTC Album_3_0_19141129_0.cab (WWE) - This is the Album version from the Tachi, which includes Media Toolkit. This allows you to choose Wallpaper from the Manila interface using Album, and allows you to choose a Contact picture in the New Contact Card using the "Open Album" Menu option. NOTE: 0407/0410/0413 users will need to install the language pack for their locale in addition to the main Album cab file.
- HTC SensorSDK_4_0_19112326_0 - For Manila Auto-Rotation. This can be toggled from the "Settings" tab of the Manila interface. NOTE: If using Album versions older than 3.0, installing this will prevent pictures from rotating on the device, and may also effect the orientation of pictures taken with the Camera.
- HTC Message_Enhancement_1_1_19173323_04.cab - This gives you the option to "Save to Contacts", call people from e-mails, etc. NOTE: This does not work with all ROM versions!!
- HTC DShow_2_0_19151432_0.cab - This is for Tab Vibration in Manila. Most ROMs will have a version of DShow already included, so installing this cab may not be necessary. NOTE: Some other device apps use DShow, so installing this version may cause issues with your device.
- HTC VolumeControl_2_1_19142727.cab - This is a newer version of Volume Control that allows you to choose between Single & Dual Volume control using the "Sounds" option in the Manila Settings menu.
Known Issues:
R1.5
- Facebook integration no longer gives you an option to sync Birthdays with Facebook contacts.
- If using Message Enhancement, Company Directory does not scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.
R1.1
Message Enhancement does not work on all ROMs.
R1
When installed on ROMs with a previous TF3D version included, there is an issue with the ability to open e-mails. This is related to Message Enhancement. This cab is the Manila 2.1 WWE install package, not including Message Enhancement (Optional folders & HTC Scroll also not included in this package). This will correct the issue, but it must be installed INSTEAD of (or as a replacement for) the above versions. Confirmed by owlmatt to be working. UPDATE: Megaupload Mirror

A: World Wide English - If you live in the US and speak English, that's the one you want.
Q: I installed this, and all my Manila tabs now say "IDS_...." on them. What gives?
A: You didn't install the Language pack for your locale. See above question if you live in the US, speak English, but don't know which one to install.
Q: I installed this, and now Opera is loading on boot? How do I fix this?
A: This is because you're using a version of Opera 9.5 that is older than 16277. You can either update your Opera 9.5 version, with one that is newer and that was made for an HTC phone (i.e. one you'd likely find on XDA - 9.7 Beta will NOT work). Those are the ones that will work with Push Internet. Or, you can disable Push Internet by installing this cab: T-Back Disable Push Internet.cab
Q: I have a Diamond. Can I install this?
A: Possibly, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you're running a ROM with no Manila (TF3D) already installed. A Diamond has limited intermal memory, due to its large Internal Storage; however this Manila MUST be installed to the device memory. I recommend flashing a ROM that already has this included, such as yozgatg's Gen.Y D2 R2 (WM6.1 + TF3D2.1).
Q: Can this be uninstalled?
A: Possibly. ALL Manila-related process MUST be stopped in order to try to do so. That means you will need to disable TouchFLO 3D from the Today items and Disable Push Internet (see above for how to do that). Then, soft reset. Kill any processes linked to Manila (i.e. CommManager, AlbumSearcher, ContactEditor, OOBE, Opera) using a Task Manager such as dotFred or SKTools (actually, SKTools would be better to use to uninstall it). That should get you a clean uninstall.
Q: Is this for GSM or CDMA?
A: Both. This Manila originated from a GSM device, though, so there are some fixes for CDMA users that will need to be applied for everything to work correctly (there are issues with SMS and Weather tab updating that have been reported). yozgatg is aware of these issues and is working on a fix. UPDATE: See HERE for CDMA SMS FIX v1.
Q: This has been installing for almost 10 minutes. Is that normal?
A: Yes. It's a LOT of files . You may want to go into your Power settings, and uncheck all of the boxes on the last tab to ensure your device doesn't go to sleep during the install. That would just make it take longer, and could corrupt something.
Q: My hardware keyboard is vibrating after installing this. How do I fix this?
A: This seems to be a problem only for CDMA users. See here for solution.
Q: Will this work with the "regular" HTC Dialer (i.e. the Slide-to-Answer dialer) that comes with the Diamond/Raphael?
A: No. You NEED the Tachi/Topaz/Rhodium Dialer in order to make phone calls from the People Tab in this Manila. Get it here: Tachi PhoneCanvas

Auto rotation: I installed the SDK that was sent with the cab and still am unable to get the auto rotation to work. I was wandering if anyone else has noticed this. I can manually switch to landscape with no issues and it looks sweet. Would love to get the auto rotation working.

As it turns out, Manila isn't included in the Whitelist for rotating apps in the version of SensorSDK4 I made that cab from. Here's a nice program that lets you easily add apps to the Whitelist:
[APP] G-Config (Configurator for the new SensorSDK 4)
In the meantime, these are the registry entries that should be added for Auto-Rotation in Manila:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
"Manila"="\Windows\manila.exe"

Q: I have no audio in YouTube/Video Player, or playback is messed up. Why?
A: This appears to be an issue with the new Full Screen Player. If you cooked this in, try using an older version of Full Screen Player. If you installed the Album cab, Here is a version that doesn't include the Full Screen Player: HTC_Album_3_0_19141129_0. Please try these solutions and report back. UPDATE: The issue appear to be with the DShow package. Here is a rolled-back version of DShow: HTC DShow_2_00_081105_0.cab. Please note that you will lose haptic feedback by installing this version, but video playback should work correctly.
Q: Why don't I see weather in my Calendar?
A: Because you first need to select your local city in the World Clock, and make it the default (or the first city in the list), and then the weather will show up in the Calendar.
Good work.
Side note: anybody know what ever happened with xboxmod? Did real life issues take precedence? Lose interest after the first port?
great work sir. I eagerly await the release so I can go back to TF3D2...
Space for rent. PM for prices!
Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the hard work.
B-E-A-utiful!!!!!!!!! I cant wait... I see the add stock image but I was wondering what the stock tab looks like... I kinda hoped that you ported the GizmoRoot part of the Stock tab. The one in the image below.
I think it blends better with the mail and people tabs... I was looking at the mode9 file and trying to play with it.
yozgatg, if it would be ok can I PM you. I would appreciate some advice. I do not like to bother people unless I have permission. Please PM me if I can get advice or direction.
Thanks for all your hard work... it looks GREAT!!! I can not wait.
Thanks,

Are you basing this off of the pictures posted? Because stability isnt really shown in screen shots. It's something you have to experience.

yozgatg said:
This release will not be perfect, the first release will also have limited landscape support, but the new v2.1 manila is a great improvement in terms of stability and performance that make it worthwile.
Main new features of v2.1 over v2.0:
- New add push page dialog: you can enter your own push page manually, no longer needed to first add it as a bookmark to opera (screenshot soon)
> Also, now a warning will pop up when enabling push page (extra data transfer etc.)
- New messaging screen: thumbnails have been removed to create more space for the messages themselves (see screenshot below)
- Calendar auto-adapts to regional settings: calendar now starts on monday if your regional settings are right (see screenshot below)
- Complete facebook integration: no more connection errors

i've posted the new features of v2.1 in the first post
v2.1 is only a minor update to v2.0, but compared to the beta version (xbmod's manila), the improvements (bug fixes, performance, stability) are huge
also, the port itself is in some aspects improved (at least the portrait mode) compared to xbmod's, for example:
- Completely new VGA calendar picker (see screenshot first post) ported over from Tachi manila
- Letterpicker no longer crushed
- Pile of photos now visible in Photos&Videos tab
- Scrolling issues in many pages fixed (deleting messages etc.)
- Calendar day view scrolls correctly now (see screenshot first post)
and much much more..

Seems to be a great new use for our M2D, especially if I can use it with a today flash plugin...
Unfortunately cant get it running on my Manila 2D v2.0 build 19191432.
Here are my details....

Twolf try this make some icons for the tv tab in manila then run M2Dtp config
M2D Widget select TV , then in the red at bottom press and hold select add plugin, choose your plugin select apply, then menu exit .
Now go back to programs and run M2DTP_loader and it will work
I posted some TV tab icons here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5158136&postcount=1918
Thanks dan_ru great addition to Manila
great. let me know when we find a tv app that will work.

Look like some values are missed in your registry. Take a look at "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Device Lock\" and check presense of value "Type" (DWORD). It must be = 4.
Then - create only one window and try different plugins one by one.
It worked....
Thank you very much.
The operator tab was one of the problems, then some plugins cant run for some reason, the first configuration isnt easy, but its worth it...
As you can see here I was able to enable the TEMPUS plugin:
A few more changes and maybe we can even have W3D (animated weather) working...
I added a zip with my files, its just the original background from the latest M2D, the xml already with tv tab enabled and the home icons a little changed to look like a secondary home.
The plugins that worked so far: softick card export and tempus (throttle html by APBilbo)
The ones that didnt: Titanium, htc home, messaging, screen lock.

Plugins "Titanium" and "Htc home" do not work (because this plugins just launchers).
I've add it to the 1-st post.
"messaging" and "screen lock" must work. Attach registry from "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\" - I'll check it.
Well, to be quite honest I only wanted a flash plugin embbeded on M2D, with it I can try to make a hole new m2d tab.
I was able to stretch the throttlehtml plugin to accept 240x200 flash files and thats almost all the space available (240x230 being the full space)...
A couple of bugs, sometimes after a reset, the TV tab would freeze my machine, for some reason.
And theres no "M2DTP loader" shortcut on the start menu, I had to make my own.
This app is great!
Thanks.
how abt this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD79FXdvmEQ
Btw, I think its even possible to recreate some Titanium plugins or even the Flash gadgets from Throttle:
It would be a mixture of flash and mortscript though, because saddly theres no existing flash plugin that can read registry or run files...
Flash can read simple txt files with variables inside, and mortcript can write those files with on-the-fly registry values, and with the color codes work-around I can even make flash run some pre-selected apps.
But the fact that the device is running M2D, flash and mortscript (to keep updating the variables) all at the same time, would definitely be a battery-hog...
Did a small test with the calendar:
If you press or swipe the sides of the calendar the month changes with a animation.
To use it, simply install and configure M2DTP to use the zipped altered version of the throttlehtml plugin with a black background (also in the zip).
Its already ready to run english (by default) or portuguese, any other language can be changed simply by translating the attached txt file and replacing it on the \Windows\ThrottleHTML folder.
---EDIT---
Made a few changes to make a skin for the latest M2D:
Just replace the files on the attached m2d_2.0_skin.zip onto the \Windows\ThrottleHTML folder and reload the plugin.
Been hoping someone would develop an app for this - great work thank you. Starting to mess now! I think we can see from Twolfs efforts already we're going to have some smart M2D tabs very shortly!
Added an updated version of the calendar onto a new thread, not to crowd this one...

Rumball Diamond Weather - Weather Panel
Hey dan_ru
This is working with the diamond animated weather by Rumball using the Weather Panel plug-in.
The icon sets and setup files are on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781
M2Dtp settings are:
X = 0
Y = 25
W = 240
H = 199
Using the existing weather tab.
In Weather Panel the Layout must be set to Manila.wpl to fit the screen.
It looks fantastic – looking forward to messing more with it. Would be great if we can suss out how to edit the individual tab softkeys…..
Question:
1) When the weather icon is ‘pushed’ it still shows the previous manila weather screen in the background – does your app just overlay the existing functions?

I don't know if this is an issue initially setting Weather Panel up in M2D - I originally went through the set up using the Second Today plug-in.... You could try setting it up in there and then see if it appears in Manila ok after....? Maybe the layout settings I posted initially cover up the 'ok' option...? I'm guessing though..

thanks but it did not help. i also tried setting it up as a plugin on today by itself and i cannot for the life of me get back out of any option screen after going into it. im thinking it might be 6.5.1 bottom taskbar bug? mabye i didnt install it right. mabye i can setup my city and theme through registry?
i installed the program to the device memory and over right the dll. then i put the fonts in the windows font foldr. then i put the weather panel folder on the storagecard root. is that right

Hello,
Your program is very interesting, but I can not use just one problem you encounter, and it is important: only lets you open documents in the folder "my documents" in the main memory device. You should modify the program to allow open and save files in any folder on the device memory and the external memory card.
I have not tested whether extensions can also be associated with your program to automatically open when clicking those files from the file explorer program.
If I could use it widely, as I need, I would donate a sum of money for it, in that there is a problem.
Sincerely,

Hello,
True, I had not noticed having to click twice (or press "enter") to run this option to access all folders on the device.
What if I notice that you can not open large files, not size, but more than 100 KB can not be with them.
Nor could I see if you can associate text files "txt" to open this program directly from file explorer.
Sincerely,
Hello,
I've been testing the program further NotepadWS, which I consider a good application, but there are two problems with it:
I have seen two important issues that prevent me from replacing AgileNotesTouch, which is what I use now, for NotepadWS:
1 .- NotepadWS not allow it to associate with files by extension, to boot automatically with this application. For example, if you associate files "txt" with NotepadWS ... file does not start with "txt" open.
2 .- I do not know NotepadWS maximum size allowed, but a file of 100 KB or more does not open properly. AgileNotesTouch allows very large files sizes, without problems.
It is important that NotepadWS could solve these two problems.
Sincerely,
short video for your app

Hello Xdait,
Now he has been magnificent NotepadWS v2.5 program. Only one small detail I see in my device (VGA) and is the icon of your program in the file explorer leaves very large, so you see only a quarter of the icon ... only that detail.
I just made a donation through PayPal by using the program, as I indicated. I hope you get well.
Sincerely,
Looks interesting, just what i was looking for. Any chance for WQVGA in future?
Thank you a lot JCM!
2.5 -> 2.51
- Now app memorizes the folder of last file used for the next launch
- File shortcuts list added, to open registered files with just one click
QVGA version, probably i will do it, but don't know exactly about the time i need
2.51 cab installer at first post
regards

@xdaid, appreciate the effort you've put in to this app so far. It has a lot of promise.
I've been playing with it off and on since the 2.0 release. It has not replaced me using AgileNotes (which has its own set of issues for me) on a regular basis, but I look forward to the possibility.
Here are my suggestions and please note I understand you have a life and your own set of requirements when you code, so I know maybe none of these comments might be used...
1. if you can support PWI files
2. if you can handle files with carriage return + linefeed end of line terminator (eg, DOS, windows based text files). Right now, files with CR+LF show up as unprintable characters
3. if you can allow for a default file folder on startup. Use the file shortcut UI you just implemented and apply it to select default, and/or favorite folders. I see you've just implemented it to memorize the last used folder, that is a good start and should be retained unless a default folder is specified.
4. allow for a default file type (eg, TEXT, LOG, etc). Currently always defaults to TEXT when you restart the app.
5. suggest adding or putting an EXIT APP type selection/option in your "cmd" CLOSE action list. Right now it has "X" to only close the active tab, but you have to go to the MAIN MENU to exit the app. Just does not seem intuitive in my opinion.
6. allow the user to select a default background color, font size, and font color if possible (to override system defaults). I realize this suggestion may be difficult or out of scope.
Future wish list, knowing it would likely require extra effort as you may not have the development environment to test on:
a. support the newer WM 6.5.x layout with the STARTMENU and "X" button on the bottom of the screen, or at least detect you are running on the newer versions and keep that bottom bar accessible.
b. use a better file selection UI. Right now, at least on my device, you have to tap on the actual scroll bar to scroll. It should be smooth and fluid like some of the default file selection interfaces in AgileNotes or even Resco File Explorer.
c. allow similar option like Resco or Total Commander for double or single tap to open a directory or file in your selection UI.
Again, thank you for the time and effort you have invested in to this application thus far.

@xdaid. Sweet! Did a quick test run, and seems you incorporated many of my suggestions. Nice work so far.
Only major concern right now is:
- allowing up/down scroll gestures in the file selection UI without actually having to tap directly on the scroll bars. Trying to do a scroll gesture typically selects the item your finger first lands on - basically seems the filename/directory listing of that UI reacts to single tap picking only.
Other than that, my left overs from my prior wish list post are still items:
(1) pwi support and (a) winmo 6.5.x UI support
Again those are not critical, just something for down the road - if even possible.
It's pretty close to being my daily editor and that's saying a lot. Keep up the great work.
Please re-download 2.55 cab installer
i forgot to include a small bug fix, now the cab is updated.
@ powinmo: scroll gesture in file selection UI should not be a problem, i will implement it soon.
Instead, pwi support could be quite hard to realize, i have some ideas about how
extract text from / save text to pwi files. Just ideas so far, but i can try..
regards
Thx for update works a treat

@xdaid - appreciate your continued work on the app! Looking forward to seeing that file selection UI more usable and closer to how others UIs act.
As for pwi support, I would put that priority at the very bottom and address any other items you feel are more important.
I do have one additional request after using your app a bit more now:
- add the ability to recognize a scroll up/down gesture versus highlighting text when editing. Right now, when you try to do that the editor strictly acts as if you want to mark text for an action (eg, copy, looking, etc). To scroll through a long document, you have to literally tap on the scroll bar versus the natural inclination of using a gesture.
Other than that, I'm almost sold on trying to the app as my regular editor. Thank you for being so receptive to user comments and suggestions!
For those who like to use the tab character to get fixed spaces / column alignment:
I added a 2.56 version, it's the same as 2.55 but tab character is enabled.

Hello Stefano,
I think your application becomes an application program is essential to our Windows Mobile devices. You've got an editor and text file reader very versatile and practical, ingenious solutions. Thanks for your good program.
Sincerely,
I've been looking for a nice notepad app for a while now, this looks pretty nice . Thanks for sharing!
I have a bit of a request: would you consider adding file 'scheme' functionality. Say you are looking a reg file, the 'scheme' would highlight certain predefined key words or phrases making it more readable. The same could then be true for .xml, .mscr or any other file that can be read by notepad. You think that would be doable?

Cheers!
Known Problems :
-------------------------------
1) Sometimes, when phone is not restarted for some time and used heavily, using the lock button to put phone to sleep may not lock it. When you wake it up, it will come unlocked. I am not aware of a fix right now, I always long press the lock key to first lock the device and then press the key again briefly to make it sleep.
2) 2 Ring delay when phone call comes is there. I will ask daskalos for the fix, if he helps me, I will post that here in form of a cab and make it permanent in all the future roms.
