Apt 0.9a (formerly known as PAP)

I promised a new version yesterday, but couldn't deliver due to 1src being unavailable, so here it is a bit late.

http://lee.dinglisch.net/palm/apt/apt.zip
http://lee.dinglisch.net/palm/apt/userguide.html

The name has changed because I got too embarrassed by the connotations of PAP.

Highlights of this version are:

- improved trigger/action organisation
- launching-by-letter
- stroke and tap triggers
- idle/wakeup/exit events
- locking by nearly any of the triggers
- star menus (two quick presses to access actions)
- popup menus (I hadn't intended to do them, but it was just too easy)
- 'real' macros: move around apps tapping controls etc without interaction
- perform actions based on name of memory card inserted

You really should look at the userguide.

I'll try and put some screenshots here, there are a lot in the userguide as well.

Pent

p.s. the following are changes with respect to 0.9, the 'unofficial new release':

v0.9a 10/3/2008
- IMPORTANT: YOU MUST DELETE PREVIOUS VERSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION
- bugfix: centre button no longer blocked when nothing assigned to it
Newly found bug: when long press assigned with Apt, and centre is pressed shorter, the key-reinjection doesn't
work (i.e. activating the focused control doesn't work).
- bugfix: apps with odd fonts were making a mess of Apt's message boxes
- recent apps action: if it's in a star menu, and there aren't enough recents apps
fill with null to preserve positions of other action in the star
- added 'Add Tap' and 'Add Stroke' to Apt menu, enters a completely new stroke
for the current target app. Rearranged Apt menu.
- added treo volup, voldown, side button triggers
- bugfix: hiding/backup popups work on non-*Default* apps
- bugfix: handle failing to set backup/hiding attribute correctly
- report error trying to change ROM app attributes
- bugfix: any relative strokes defined would block e.g. scrolling. New method more likely
to trigger something underneath (rel strokes only), but should not block anything.
- non-*Default* apps now have maximum triggers available
- bugfix: last row multi was not being handled correctly

Fixed anyway.

You know you got a good thing going when enotar can't find a serious bug in the first 20 minutes :-)

JFYI

The tAIB Resouce ID 1000, Bit Depth 16, Low Density Icon has that pink around it. (looks like that was still linked to the old file when you compiled ).

Here are a couple easy fixes. As I was going through your online docs and found that the two following links under "Getting Started" don't work.

6. Try setting up a button trigger here
7. Try setting up a grafitti trigger here

So far, so good with the app.

IF 1=1 ;break if false
TAP 1000 ;Control ID
PRESS 1 ;1=HB1
; Repeats forever (or not?)

Cool

Hey folks, this looks more & more exciting. Those of you who know stuff like the programming hooks like icefire & enotar - how's about putting in some explanation for those of us who only know how to use apps... some 'hows' & 'whys' of use - besides the 'what this is'.

Also some strategic 'conceptually why you would want to use feature x,y,z & how, so Pent doesn't have to concentrate so much on writing the documentation, & can polish this puppy.... That's what helping others on this forum is all about.... I'm not criticizing, just trying to rally the more knowledgeable troops to help those less sophisticated & to bring focus on the hows & whys which make a great app even more useable & thereby help Pent sell more copies

If we can work together & help each other, this app can really take off & help Pent do who knows how much more for the Palm community & justifiedly line his pockets with some well earned income...

I've already asked for a full version.... & I'm willing to pay now... let's let our digital pocketbooks do the talking once Pent releases what should be THE Rookie of the Year & MVP app....

Yes (documented).

How do you make Lock triggers to work with Tap?
I set the place but as soon as I run the app;I get "trigger Me" popup but cannot get the tap on same place to work & let me in the app!


Will test later, Pgr mentioned problems with the keys for unlock too. Is it the full screen lock, or the partial, or both ?

Thanks.

Dunno. Is this a language, pseudocode, proposal for Apt feature or what ? I only recognize the bottom 2 lines.

I like these easy bugs :-)

Much nicer than 'after I've been using Apt for a few days my palm seems to get unstable somehow'.

Edit: did you try the brightness dimming ? I know it's not as good as a tailored solution, but has the advantage that it can do lots of other things too.

The next 'feature' will be registration code handling :-)
