This looks excellent and has so far stumped me everytime i've thought "hmm, it could do with that feature" which is usually followed by "oh, there it is!".

I will play with it some more and let you know!

OK, one minor gripe. Pushing the OK button in the top right doesn't save the settings like pushing OK on the lower menu bar does. Which can be slightly irritating when you've changed the settings and it doesn't save them.

Also when changeing specific notifications you have to click apply on each one for the settings to be retained. I think it would be easier if the settings were saved as soon as you migrated to changeing the next option.

Thanks,

Mike

Another prob, when listening to music and you change back to the today screen it forces the volume back to what the profile is set too. This has nearly resulted in my deafening on several occasions this evening!

Hi Lutz

Are you saying you want to switch profile depending on where you are in the world? Or if at home or roaming?

Interesting concept :D

If you let me know exactly how and what you want to trigger the switch on I'll research it and let you know if I can do it.

Cheers

You're welcome!

Thanks for making a great application! I've been after something like this for a while! It saved my ass earlier when i was performing a presentation and fortunately had the foresight to use the software to put it into silent before i received several messages mid presentation!

Always the way isnt it. :D

Good pickup. This is now fixed. Changed to be a cancel button on all dialog now anyway.

This has been changed. Now when you use the dropdown list to select an item (profile or notification) your existing one is automatically saved as you go. Also there are 2 buttons in the menubar. previous and next arrows. These buttons will save and move you to the previous/next item. These buttons also scroll back to begining/end depending on which way your scrolling.

Do you want to be able to override the profile selection and never refresh it until you switch?


The latest beta version has been posted into the original post of this thread. Thought it would be easier than scrolling through messages to find the latest copy.

Enjoy!

I'm haveing trouble uninstalling the old version and reinstalling the new version. I'm given the error that ppcprofiles.dll is in use.

i've tried using "stop all" in the running programmes tab in memory settings.

Any ideas?

To uninstall you 1st have to deselect from the today screen via "today" in setup.

No worries.

Ive also fixed a memory leak when using the bitmap button selection mode. So if this proves to be a major stumbling block let me know and I'll upload the fix. Otherwise I'll wait a day or two to see if there is anything else.

I think a system volume overide option would be useful.

I don't think i've spotted any other bugs. I've had one or two minor hangups/soft resets occur but i can't put my finger on what's caused it.

Mike

Hi mike-oh

No worries I took that on board and the latest app (in original thread) has this. Obviously every is set back when the user selects the same or another profile.

The latest stuff is in the original post aswell as a description of how things work and some screenshots.

Please let me know if anything is not as it should be or if you want something else incorporated.


Cheers

Excellent little utility - purchased 1.09 at the weekend; then found this thread.

I uninstalled the registered version (after turning it off under the Today setup) & then downloaded the Cab file - whilkst it seemed to install without any problems, it does not appear in the Today screen or as an option in the Today setup.

Any ideas?

Tony.

On an SPV2000, by the way!

Hi Tony

I cant say that Ive had this problem on the imate II. All goes on ok.

Have you tried uninstalling the old version, then reinstalling the new one? It souldnt matter really but just in case since there are registry changes. Could try removing then soft reset. Ive heard of other programs that suggest this.

Let me know if this problem persists. In the mean time I'll do some investigating to see what info is out there.

Cheers

Hi Tony

At a guess...The problem is most likey the registry settings for the today plugin.

You will have to remove V1.09b first just to make sure the today plugin registry setting point the the right dll.

There are a few files installed into \Program Files\PPCProfilesPro

PPCProfiles.dll
PPCProfilesAuto.exe
+ a few .bmp files for the button skins

In the registry the today plugin settings should be

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\PPCProfiles,
"DLL" = "\Program Files\PPCProfilesPro\PPCProfiles.dll"
HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\PPCProfiles,
Options = 0
HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\PPCProfiles,
Type = 4

If you have access to a registry editor/viewer you could check that the above is correct.

Im really not sure why the setup isnt doing it but I hope this helps.


Cheers
