I've updated my Inserter DA (for inserting commonly used text) with the following feature:

The text to insert may contain the following special codes:
\n New line
\t Tab
\D Date
\T Time
\J Julian day
\\ Backslash (\) character

COOL! B)

Everything I wanted!

Thank you.

Thank you Alex.

I am having problems getting this to work with Blazer on my Treo 650.
I followed the suggestion in the original thread to use the Da launcher name, but for me this will not work perhaps because I use pToolSet to launch my DA's, I do not know.

I have tried using the names Blazer, Web, pToolSet, pDeskAccTool, pToolPrefs but they will not pop up the inserter in Blazer.

Anyone got any ideas please.

Thanks a lot for implementing my new line suggestion. It works great and makes this wonderful tool even more useful.

Cheers.

Ok. I am on a dumb day I know. For those of you who can't make it work (took me some minutes to find the problem...), be sure to use the "\" and not the usual "/".

Thanks Alex, these are cool additions.

Regards,

Thank you so much!!! Now I can leave SC5 and don't look back. Even better now that I use \D on some texts.

Talking about dates... I found a bug. It seems that Inserter doesn't look on format prefs... I'm brazilian and use D-M-Y format, but Insert keeps inputing M-D-Y format. Any idea?

thanks again

bluefishcfc:

Is Web the only app where this problem occurs? I'll see if I can do something better to detect which app is open.

Isan:

It checks the locale, but not the format prefs. I didn't realize there was a format pref for this. I'll use that instead of the locale in the next version.

Alex,
Web/Blazer is the only app that is important to me where Inserter does not pop up, and where I could stop using SC5 for filling in forms.

I will try other apps tomorrow to see if any others are affected, but they will not be a concern to me, possibly to others though.

I am using Inserter .90

I have noted that the double backslash shows up when you activate the da. I use it for editing ebooks in palm markup language (PML) so have characters such as \i, \c, \t etc. to add to text. In order for it to correctly insert the characters I have added an extra backslash to them (ie. \\i, \\c, \\t)

It does not cause a problem but can look a little confusing when you activate the da and choose from the list.

Alex, another great idea. I love that I can use this in conjunction w/Accessorizer (SUPERB!, it's almost de facto multitasking for PalmOS5), & not have to take resident memory w/SC5!

@ all, I am using Apt to call up MetaDA (thanks again, Alex!) via a press 'n hold on a h/w key, but I have a friend w/a new Centro (like mine) & would like to share this w/him & need some advice on how to get MetaDA & thereby Inserter to work for him...

I've been using a other type of apps to launch DA's for a while & don't even know where to look, or under which terms to search...

@ Alex, I also get crashes when I try to use Accessorizer to pop up over Web/Blazer on my Centro (VZW). I hope this can be overcome; b/c it would mean that I don't have to go back to SC5.

Keep up the good work & TIA,

The Blazer detection problem in Inserter is fixed in 0.91, now posted. Just call it "Web". And while I haven't tested it, it should use the preferred date/time formats.

Thank you Alex. Web works beautifully.

I was however wrong about one thing. There is another app that does not behave quite how I expected.
I want to use inserter to paste my SIM card PIN number. SC5 pastes the 4 figure PIN and the Treo Phone application accepts it properly, but for some reason, using inserter does not work. The PIN is not accepted and I have to put it in manually, which is a pain. Believe it or not, I have to press option 3 times to lock the number pad to the satisfaction of the Phone radio application.

Thanks again for all your work on Inserter.

Password input doesn't work in the standard way...

DAKey or any other DA launcher. My favorite (not surprisingly) is FastLaunch (shareware). :-)



Well, Accessorizer crashes shouldn't affect your use of Inserter. :-)

Are the crashes when the sublaunched app starts, or when it stops?
