Info/description:
HandyShopper works on any Pocket PC device that uses Windows Mobile 2003 or higher, and on any device that uses Palm OS 2.0 through OS 5.x. If you want to know whether HandyShopper runs on a specific device, ask in the User Group. HandyShopper is a tool for managing your shopping lists. It helps you build a shopping database that remembers everything you've purchased before, so that you can find them in your "All" list (master list) and mark them as needed so they appear in your "Need" list. When you go shopping, you check off items from your list as you put them in your cart, then after you pay for them you use the "Checkout" command to move the checked-off items back to the "All" list (items that aren't checked off yet stay in the "Need" list). Even though HandyShopper is designed for shopping lists, you can use it for other kinds of lists, too. Here are a few of the many features of HandyShopper: * Create as many databases as you wish (shopping lists or other lists).
* Mark items in your database (list) as Needed, and once you finish shopping, the items are remembered so you can quickly reuse them later.
* You can keep track of how many of each item you need, what the price is, the aisle where the item is located, whether the item is taxable, and more.
* Tap an item and hold the stylus down for half a second to pop up a context menu with some common actions.
* A special one-handed mode lets you mark off items with one hand, without having to pull out the stylus.
* The Total command adds up the total amount for the items you have marked as Needed, and the total amount of the items you've put in your cart.
* Notes can be attached to items.
* Each database can be sorted by any of the fields (up to 3 fields at a time).
* Keep track of up to 100 stores per database, and which items are available at which stores.
* Stores that have needed items show up in bold in the Stores dropdown list.
* Organize items in up to 100 categories per database.
* The column widths in the list view can be resized by dragging the column header divider bars.
* Optionally keep track of prices and aisles for an item on a per-store basis.
* Copy an item to another database, including which stores the item is available at.
You can also compare features between the Palm OS and Windows Mobile versions of HandyShopper. Update Description: v3.0.2 - build 4026 - April 26, 2008
* Import - The Import command now supports both Unicode TXT files and normal TXT files.
Fixes: * Renaming a PDB database accidentally truncated the file, effectively removing all the records. This has been fixed.
v3.0.1 - build 4020 - April 20, 2008
* Fixes: HS3Convert was only outputting the first digit for per-store prices.
v3.0 - build 3930 - March 30, 2008
* Installer -- Installation is easy now with the new installer.
* Categories -- Now supports up to 100 user-defined categories.
* Multiline Descriptions -- The list view now uses multiple lines to show an item when the Description or Custom Text fields contain more text than can fit in one line.
* Lookup tool -- Now you can turn off the category and store filter when using the Lookup tool.
* Copy Database -- The Copy command works now in the list of databases, and lets you make a copy of the selected database.
* Windows Mobile 5.0 -- For best fit with the new Windows Mobile 5.0 look, HandyShopper uses softkey toolbars in most screens when running on Windows Mobile 5.0 and higher.
* Storage Cards -- To make it easier to share a storage card between a Palm OS device and a Windows Mobile device, HandyShopper now also finds databases in the \PALM\Launcher folder on a storage card.
* And numerous other minor improvements, cosmetic and otherwise.
Fixes: * HS3 and HS3Convert could skew column widths slightly under certain conditions.
* HS3Convert had trouble with store names if the -i flag was not used.
* Resizing columns had a math error and could go narrower than intended.
* The Find command in the databases list could return incorrect matches in some PDB databases.
* Mistaken error when trying to create the first category in a database that has no categories yet.
* Sorting by category behaved unpredictably due to a data size/alignment bug.
* Fixed bug that prevented the database from being sorted when selecting a store in a database that uses per-store prices/aisles.
* Reinstalling on Windows Mobile 5.0 now remembers the global preferences (such as whether to use the Today Theme colors, whether to use in-cell editing, and which database was most recently opened).
* And numerous minor fixes, cosmetic and otherwise.
Alpha 3 - April 3, 2005
* Calculator -- The calculator input panel works with in-cell editing.
* D-pad -- Press and hold the d-pad button to check off the selected item. Due to hardware and OEM issues, this only works on some devices.
* Storage Cards -- HandyShopper now detects any storage cards, including built-in storage cards (not just cards with certain common names). The database context menu includes a command to move the selected database to/from a storage card.
* Stores -- Filter by multiple stores at the same time by selecting the 'Multiple...' entry in the stores list.
* Search All Databases -- Search all HandyShopper databases for a word or phrase. Tap the new Find toolbar button in the list of databases, enter some text to search for, and tap the curved green arrow button to start the search.
* Per-Store Prices -- When per-store prices are enabled, the Stores tab in the Details dialog now shows an extra Unfiled row which shows the normal (non-per-store) price. This entry is shown for convenience, and to help reduce confusion about "where did my prices go?" when initially turning on per-store prices. There isn't a checkbox for the Unfiled store because an item is automatically Unfiled when it is not associated with any stores.
* Import and Export -- Import and export lists of items in text files.
* And numerous other minor improvements, cosmetic and otherwise.
* Also see the Known Issues section.
Fixes: * Fixed dismissing in-cell editing via the Cancel button or menu commands; previously it could mistakenly discard the changed text, or possibly even crash.
* Fixed the Quantity column's context menu.
* Fixed the initial focus in the Details dialog.
* Fixed how Edit commands are enabled when an edit control has the focus.
* Fixed how the Stores and Categories header buttons are sized on VGA devices (when one or both are too wide to fit without being truncated).
* Fixed potential problem sorting by text fields, where items could get sorted wrong.
* Fixed potential problem where store names could get sorted wrong and result in a corrupted store list. The corruption is automatically repaired, too.
* Fixed bug in the needed-item counts in the Stores popup list, where deleting a store could throw off the counts.
* Fixed creating a new database so that it prompts before overwriting an existing database by the same name.
* Fixed renaming a category when the database is sorted by category; now it resorts the list.
* And numerous minor fixes, cosmetic and otherwise.
Alpha 2 - January 6, 2005
* VGA -- High resolution is fully supported. Landscape is partially supported (see Known Issues).
* Colors -- Row background colors can follow the Today Theme, or can be specified explicitly (use the Options command on the Tools menu, and go to the Database tab).
* Categories -- Filter by multiple categories at the same time by selecting the 'Multiple...' entry in the categories list.
* Private Items -- Private items are supported in the same way as they are on Palm OS devices (it's just a casual deterrent, not a security feature; for example there is no encryption). Use the Security command on the Tools menu to hide private items and/or set a password for showing them.
* Copy Item To -- Copy an item to another database by choosing the Copy Item To command from the context menu.
* And numerous other minor improvements, cosmetic and otherwise.
* Also see the Known Issues section.
Fixes: * Fixed the .cab file to refuse to install on PPC 2002 and earlier (since the app wouldn't run anyway; see Known Issues).
* Fixed sorting by Aisle (the bug was inherited from HS2; now it is fixed in both places).
* Fixed redrawing the Stores list in the Details dialog when editing prices results in a new lowest price.
* Fixed Undo after an item is deleted due to having no Description text.
Alpha 1 - August 30, 2004
* Has feature parity with the basic shopping list features from HandyShopper for the Palm OS, but it does not yet include all features.
* Lookup tool -- Filters the list by what you write, showing all matching items from the selected Store and Category (it looks for matching words in the Description, Note, or Custom Text fields).
* Quick pane -- Tap the 'up/down arrows' toolbar button to get to the one-handed shopping mode with a big 'check off' button; shows some details about the selected item, tapping an item only selects it (tap the Details button separately to open the item).
* Columns -- Choose which fields to show in the list view (use the Options command on the Tools menu); each field is shown in a column, and most columns can be resized by dragging the column divider at the top of the list view.
* Sorting -- Sort the list by up to three fields, optionally use different sort orders for the Need and All views.
* Stores -- Have up to 100 stores in your list; each item can be associated with multiple stores (i.e. the stores where the item is available for purchase).
* Categories -- Have up to 15 categories in your list; each item can be associated one category (this limitation is a carry-over from the Palm OS version of HandyShopper, and will be broadened later).
* Purge items -- The Purge Items command on the Tools menu helps you purge items in bulk based on certain criteria.
* Reset items -- The Reset Items command on the Tools menu helps you reset the checkboxes for items in bulk based on certain criteria.
* Best Buy -- The Best Buy command on the Tools menu helps you compare brand A versus brand B to see details about how their prices differ.
* Checkout -- When you've finished shopping at one store, use the Checkout command on the Tools menu to reset the checked off items so they no longer appear in the Need view (also deletes checked off items marked as 'Autodelete').
* Total -- Use the Total command on the Tools menu to total up the Price
* Quantity of the items in your list.
* Multiple databases -- Create and use as many databases as you like, for keeping lists of different things.
* Calculator -- When editing number fields, HandyShopper shows a special calculator input panel by default (tap the SIP toolbar button to toggle between the calculator and the normal input panel).
* Also see the Known Issues section.
