I've finally gotten it finished. In this version I add a configuration option to disable the app between two times (helps prevent conflict with backup apps at night), and reimplemented DA support.

For the application that launches on "power-on":
does it have a feature now that if the app was already running at the time of shutdown it will not re-launch on power on?

Hmm, no it doesn't. It should be easily added, however.

I've gotten several bug reports saying that the app doesn't work at all. A few others have said that they can't select anything from the list. Is anybody else having either of these problems?
FerdFerd
11-05-2007, 07:55 AM
I've noticed a delay before the list of applications apears. And, you must tap right on the arrow, not on the name of the application (or "default") to get the lists to appear. I remember thinking at first that it wasn't going to work, and then the list finally appeared. Perhaps that behavior is the source of the impression that it doesn't work?
I think I'm used to being able to tap on the word to get a drop down list to apear, not just the arrow. I'm not sure about that, but that feels right. Yes, other applications do allow you to tap the word next to the arrow.

I agree that clicking on the "word" is going to be the most common first approach, but would then expect many to try the arrow. I did, and it brought up the app list, but then when I selected an app (ZLauncher after Reset) it did not accept it - after selecting ZLauncher, "disable" was still selected on the main screen. I ended up uninstalling (which I didn't do before upgrading to the new version), then did a warm boot to be clean, then installed the new release again. Upon my first (and only the first) run I saw the garbage characters also, but didn't pay much attention, so I can't offer any info other than it only happened once. After that I was able to select apps and EL performed exactly as expected.

Hmm, that may be it. I thought I allowed people to tap on the word, maybe not. Thanks FerdFerd.In my installation, for certain you cannot get the list to appear if you tap on the word next to the arrow. I have the version you put up after I reported the gibberish that appeared if you tap outside the list box.
Incidentally, I suspect that being able to tap the word next to an arrow for a drop down box is part of the Palm convention for its interface. At least it seems automatic to me to be able to do so after all the years I've been using Palms.

Alright, let's try 2.2. I found the bug that was causing the display errors; there was one. I also added a cable connected launch in this one. And you can tap on the word now, instead of the little arrow.

2.2 looks good Luke. I like the new "Cable" addition. I have the HotSync app start when I plug in my cable and it's worked every connect. Now if EL could automagically know if I intend to run HotSync or CardReader when I connect that cable ;)
Thank you for generously offering this very useful enhancement.

Thanks for the update. One minor thing: When I first went to the Configuration menu, the times for disabling were corrupted. Once I entered valid times, all was well and remains so. I didn't disable and delete 2.1 before installing, though. And there was gibberish in the text for the new Cable Connect option. That also has not reappeared since the first use.
Does SyncDA actually start a hotsync immediately upon execution? I tried just adding Hotsync there, but all it does is bring up the hotsync application, which then waits for a tap to the center. No improvement over pressing the button on the cord. After looking long and hard for an application that performs a hotsync with only one tap and failing, I suspect that this can't be done with the current OS.
I love my mom
11-08-2007, 06:31 PM
With the gibberish I just don't know. It must have something todo with my variable initialization. It doesn't affect functionality though.
Yes, SyncDA starts a sync automatically. That's why I have it there instead of Hotsync :)
Thank you for the feedback.

Another thing. Does the cable attached launch need more configuration? Right now it will launch the selected app or DA whenever anything is attached to your device, including the power cable or custom hardware. Obviously people won't want to run a hotsync when they connect their power cable only. So is there a need to specify which cables to apply the launch to?
Thanks

I think it would be good to handle the two types of connectors separately. I use a dock at work and the power only at home. I would probably launch pTunes on the dock but nothing with the power only connector.
Also, I cannot download the latest version. Something about an ID not existing.
FerdFerd

I agree that it should distinguish between the power cable and the hotsync cable. And on my TX, disconnectiong doesn't activate anything; it only acts upon connecting, which is the way it should work, at least in my opinion.

My experience was almost identical to FerdFerd's. I also just installed over the older version and the entries that either didn't exist before (cable) or were having trouble (hotsync - gibberish) had gibberish when I installed 2.2. After I selected something they are okay. I also had the same problem with corrupt times, soecifically the time said 8::6 for start time and when I tapped it the selection option read 08:11:6 once I tapped the 11 and decreased below 9, it wouldn't go back up to the 10 or 11 (good thing). Last thing was the help screen still says 2.1. Here are screen shots:

I have onlaunch and it is set to launch LX on disconnect. When I connect cardreader launches (as set in EL), when I disconnect LX launches (as set in OL).
I think that if EL had the disconnect option I could stop using OL.
Just out of curiosity...
I hotsync over WiFi when plugged into my power cable; I launch card reader when I plug into my sync cable (sync button remapped to do this).
So, when SyncDA launches HotSync, which sync does it initiate? --I never use USB sync, but I know that's the default sync for auto-syncing from other third party apps.

So, when SyncDA launches HotSync, which sync does it initiate?I haven't ever found an application that would permit one-button wireless hotsyncing. I haven't tried it with SyncDA, though, and because I've just recently switched from using a PC to a Mac, I haven't yet worried about the wireless syncing, even on Windows XP under Boot Camp. It's on the to-do list. For the moment, I'm back to using the hotsync cable. Event Launcher and SyncDA do work to run a cable hotsync as soon as the cable is plugged in. This is on the Windows side.
Re the hotsync when removing palm from cradle, I have two cradle's one at work and the other at home, the one at work is USB powered and it is the one where removal of my palm causes the Hotsync to start. The one at home is powered by the mains and there is no problem with the removal of th e Palm. It seems that the USB powered cradle is the issue, I will try a different cable next week.

Have you tried the cradle patch? Not that I would promote this since I've heard so many bad stories about it.

Welcome to the Mac world :) The Missing Sync 6 is your friend. Avoid Palm-branded hotsync software. Palm Desktop for MacOS hasn't had a real update in about 7 years.
Dear "I love my mom",
Event Launcher offers a lot of features I have been looking for. Unfortunately it causes my TX always to reset as soon as I launch the application.
Of course I first thought that some other application I have installed is in conflict with Event Launcher. So I installed it from scratch after a hard reset as the only application installed. Again resets when launching. :(
(Tried both v2.1 and v2.2)
Do you have any idea, what the problem could be?
(I use a Palm TX with ROM v.5.4.9r40 with german user interface selected after hard reset.)

The cradle fix successfully made my palm freeze everytime I put it in the cradle :p
RGAD: I don't know what the problem could be. At first guess I would say that you have something configured for the hotsync finished launch, which is causing something to be performed after the first sync. It may be another application as well.
palmuse: Something happened to my files; the links is fixed now
_Em: SyncDA doesn't sync via wifi, however, it may be possible.
I will add some kind of option to distinguish between cables. Does anyone have suggestions on this?

I will add some kind of option to distinguish between cables. Does anyone have suggestions on this?At first thought, I though my preference would be for it to ignore plugging in the power cable completely. But I could imagine that someone might want to launch something like a clock or screen saver kind of app on plugging in power, though, so there could be a good reason to trap that after all. So being able to configure each plug-in separately seems wisest to me on balance.
Whatever you do about separate trapping of the two cables, I would suggest giving us options to run something when plugging in the relevant cable, but ignore unplugging it completely. At least I haven't been able to think of a time when I'd want something to happen automatically on unplugging either cabe. I really especially wouldn't want to start a hotsync immediately after unplugging. If there is a good reason to trap unplugging, then allow separate configurations for plug and unplug.
My $0.02, for what it may be worth.

I see. Great suggestions, however there are some things you must consider. First, you have to think about cradles. The power and usb are being connected both at once. So if you launch a hotsync, you can't launch an application. There are ways around this of course, but we have to design that as well.
Unplugging is ignored completely in the current version, and I wasn't planning on adding it in a future version either. That is, unless someone requests it.
Thanks

I Love My Mom~ Thanks, I got it.
I can see how the handling might be tricky. I like FerdFerd's idea of two separate launch options.
Would a delay added to the power cord notification allow time to catch the sync cable or vise versa? (If no sync cable is found, the power cord launch would activate.) Not sure this makes sense...
Question: My dock at work only has the power cable plugged into it. Would this send a sync cable notification? It does have all of the sync pins, but no USB cable is hooked up. Just curious. My guess is not sync cable notification.
FerdFerd
11-10-2007, 07:04 AM
I don't have a cradle, so I didn't think about that. The most economical way would be to ignore the power cord completely and let the user decide about what the hotsync plug in should do. Most likely it will be cradle uses who what the option to start a clock or some other application. Or so it seems to me.
juggernaut#2
11-10-2007, 11:37 AM
I have a cradle. Just a simple thought why there must be separate notifications for ´power´ and ´sync attached´:
If I put the device in it´s cradle, the battery symbol changes from unplugged to charging (even if I unplugged the USB cable). If the sync cable is plugged-in, windows will make it´s PING sound to indicate that some device connected to it ...

I only plug the single powercord at night to charge (no dock or sync cable). I would like to be able to bring up my alarmclock app when I plug it in overnight. If I had to choose though, I agree the sync cable would take priority if my dock without a USB cable still signals a sync cable notification. I will test this with the current version at work tomorrow.
EDIT: I realized I cannot test this as the current version must be looking for either sync or power. I tried it on my power only cable and it did launch my clock. (probably no surprise, but it is the first I tried it).

I use only the sync cable. So most times, either the power plug or the sync cable are attached but not both together. Therefore a simple recognition of both types would be enough for me.
Maybe you could also make an option, which cable has the priority if both are plugged in. I could also imagine a time dependant app launch, e.g. from 8 am to 8 pm launch the sync app and the other time launch the power app.
I love my mom
11-12-2007, 07:18 AM

elParker~ I also thought about the time idea, but gave it up as too complicated as Luke said. I ran into the problem of the weekend as my schedule/usage is different then.
I Love My Mom~ I am heading toward the idea of as is also. I think since I do not use the sync cable at work, it would not catch the sync cable launch anyway. Since it does either sycn/power now, it works for me. Thanks.

Not sure of the best way to handle it, whether by the time suggestion or cable recognition, but the only suggestion I would make right now is that the app differentiate between the power and USB cable. I plug the power in some nights, but never hotsync when it is plugged in. When I plug it in the hotsync app pops up like when I plug in the USB cable. (I changed this from cardreader to hotsync, I may end up changing it back - not sure)
Thanks for a great app!!!!!

Ah! I see your point. I can see where one might want to recognize one type of connection or the other or both. I like that this will launch my clock when I plug in to my cradle or powercord, but I probably do not want it to launch when I use my USB on the laptop. I've not done this yet since assigning an app to launch. Good thought cyberdude. Perhaps one dropdown assignment with a checkbox for each notification. Check each indivdually or both for both.

Something is happening with my install. After a reset event launcher is not detecting events. I deleted it from the UC list and readded it.

Sorry if I was obtuse when I abbreviated UnCache to UC. That was my first thought too. It does need to be in the list. I'm just wondering if putting UC in prefs has altered how it works therefore not making a difference what I put in the list.
It shouldn't make a difference -- UC has two apps... one that manages the notifications, and the UI. I presume you Preff'd the UI, which would write to the same file in either case (and the UI doesn't watch notifications).

You are right, I did pref a file called uncacheUI. The odd thing is when I deleted it from the list then re-added it it didn't give me the normal warning that it would take effect after the next reset.
It is remotely possible that preffing UncacheUI runs afoul of Dmitry's copy protection scheme. In this case, UnCacheUI would fail to actually make any changes.

Checked RE notif list and it doesn't appear there. I unpreffed UC and deleted EL from the list then readded it (still didn't give me the "won't take effect until next reset message). Plugging in the hotsync cable does nothing after a reset, but if I start EL then exit, then plug in the hotsync cable it hotsyncs. (using syncda)

I disabled UC and checked the notifications in RE again - no EL. I then started EL and checked the notif in RE, still no EL.
I did notice that when I disabled UC I did get the reset warning - hmmm...

Not to my knowledge :D . My Tungsten E2 is of very recent vintage -- do to the breakdown of my Tungsten T. I mostly just have a few of my favorite apps: handyshopper, Secret!, mobileDB, and AutoLock -- and more recently NVBackup and owner. The AutoLock I will likely get rid of if Event Launcher works for me.

I experienced the launch app on removal of the sync cable (USB). I haven't been able to duplicate it though so I'm not sure what that means.
The way I had it set up was to launch SyncDA on cable connect. It launched when I connected and hotsynced my device. When I disconnected it launched SyncDA again and tried to hotsync at which point I canceled the hotsync.

I'm thinking that just has todo with the wiggling it takes to get the sync cable out. I know that when I pull my palm out of it's cradle Windows gives the little device connected/disconnected beep several times.
@wfenlon: Do you mind installing at least 1 DA to test that? Thanks

That makes sense; that happens to me sometimes too.
I previously posted an issue with my TX starting a hotsync when I removed it from my cradle. I have since changed the connection from a USB power cable to a usb cable with the power adaptor plugged into the cable and I am not having any issues anymore. I have tried pulling the tx off by wiggling it as mentioned above and no issues.

I am willing to give that a try. Won't be able to do it until tonight however; dang job gets in the way of my fun time! :D

Event Launcher seemed to be working this morning. I plugged in the USB cable and the cardreader app launcher. This worked twice doing a reset in between. After a 3rd reset nothing happens when I plug the cable in (I tried a couple of times). If it starts working again after a reset I'll check the notifications list.

Hello,
I did find a bug that causes the app to become partially disabled after a reset. I'm working to get it resolved. My apologies.

Gee, wonder why I haven't encountered it. But thanks for tracking it down.

I just tried Event Launcher 2.1 and 1.18. I would like to use it to start 2day after power off.
However, neither of the versions detects 2day on the apps list??
Why is that? 2day does show up in the uncache.
Also, the old Pbutton is able to detect 2day in the apps list.
What is going on?

I also have this problem (Vovka). One of my DA's wouldn't show up. I added another app, and changed the creator id of my da. I'm not sure which of these fixed it, but it showed up after that.

If you change the creator ID, won't it mess up the application?

You should NOT change the Creator ID of an application. I think it was safe for Supertrucker todo so because it was his DA...
I don't know what could be causing this. I'll be looking into it.
For those wondering, version 2.3 is very close.

ILMM, the link in the above line in your sig gives me a 404 Error - Not found message. Something isn't working right for me, at least right now. Perhaps this is related to your web redesign?

It's fixed now. Are there other issues you're having with the site?
I forgot to add a redirect for page betas.html :o
