Hi mooman,

Thanks for your feedback, the cab file was not configured correctly and would have installed the executable to the phone but the dll to the storage card, hence your problem. I have uploaded a fixed cab file, but all you need to do is move snooze.exe to \Storage Card\Program Files\Snooze\ and create a new start menu shortcut.

Let me know if this fixes your problem.

I'm not sure what you mean, when an alarm is activated it plays the sound you selected and shows the name of the alarm on the screen (which you can use as a message). At what point did you want a message box displayed?

oh sorry i didnt pay attention to the title part. This application works perfectly. Thanks

how do you execute a program? when i choose "execute program", i cant enter a file path and there is nothing to choose from.

Hi oldSAP,

Thanks for noticing. I realised after I'd uploaded the cab that I never did the browse function, but since I'd been using it for a couple of months without noticing this I left it as is to see if anyone else noticed it.

I'm adding that functionality now, I'll upload a new version sometime this week.

Will be eagerly awaiting for the release

I couldn't help myself and stayed up last night adding some browse functionality. It's not quite what I'd like, more quick and dirty, but it does everything it needs to do. I'd like to write a proper OpenFileDialog, but that will take some time and will have to be added at a later stage.

I'm pretty happy with the whole program now. There may be another update required after the Execute Program functions have been tested more thoroughly, but hopefully this will stay as a stable version for a while.

[oldSAP]

thanks. the "browse" button is very helpful.

few suggestions:

1. it would be nice to have the 'browse" button also for searching mp3 or wav files
2. the execute program option should also be able to search and use scripts, and other file types.

Keep up the great work! This software will be in the realm of autolock once it matures

Yeah, restricting the browse to .exe files was a bit narrow minded of me. I have changed it to all files, as you can "run" a .jpg file (for example) and the file association will pick the right program.

I also enabled a "play sound" alarm to use any wav or mp3, even if it's not in the Sounds combo box, so if you browse for an mp3 then change the action to Play Sound it will play the sound you chose even though the combo box appears blank. (you can verify this by adjusting the volume) Again, not a really pretty solution, but it's too close to christmas for pretty solutions.

Part of becoming a more mature application is not posting an update every day with the latest minor adjustment, so this will definately be the last update for 2006. There are a few more major changes I want to make, like adding threading, so in 2007 I'll start on a more major update.

Thanks for the encouragement. Please keep the comments coming.

[oldSAP]

Thank you very much for updating the application.
This is very very useful for me. i use it for reminders (lots of 'em) and to auto poweroff my device, and all of these in 1 app!

[volkl23]

Thanks for the program! I just have a slight problem...

I installed the latest version of snooze on my storage card, but when I try to open it, I just get the turning circle (processing) and after 2 seconds, nothing happens.

I have A Dash (HTC S620) and CF 2.0 installed on my storage card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's a bit odd. Did earlier versions work?
If not you may be using CF 2.0 instead of 2.0 SP1. I didn't think it should matter, but it might. You can get SP1 from here. Try installing that and let me know if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I do have the SP1. It's odd. I was clicking the icon from the program/snooze directory and that did nothing. I think I just forgot to restart my phone, because right after installing, the program did not appear in the start menu. After the restart, the snooze icon appeared in the start menu and now everything works!

Great program! You are doing a great service to the Smartphone community. Keep it up!

I've almost finished v1.2 and there are some major internal changes. Now you can have two alarms with the same name that are set to the same time without any problems. Alarms will queue if they are activated while another alarm is displaying, then show when the first alarm is actioned. There are other less noticable changes that generally make it more robust and user friendly.

I should be able to put 1.2 beta up here tomorrow, hopefully no bugs, so after a few days I can update the file in the downloads section. I've already got plans for v1.3, so 1.2 won't have quite all the features I originally intended as I want to get the more stable background code out there before I start working on the features.

[oldSAP]

the latest version works perfectly. no more set alarms that doesnt go off. The application launcher (where i used poweroff.exe) went off as scheduled.

Thanks also for the TIPS sir!

[rogueqd]

Here's 1.2 beta. Just replace Snooze.exe with the one in the zip file. I'll upload it to the download section over the weekend unless anyone finds a bug to report.

Thanks for all your feedback oldSAP. Get this version, as it has some improvements from the one I sent you the other day.

Edit: File removed. Version 1.2 is in downloads page.

wow! i like the added options menu where we can set the snooze time, default volume and default sound.
Also the "Name:" part of a new alarm is automatically highlighted so we can enter our alarm name immediately without having to delete the default "Alarm 1" title.

[chrisjaffe]

WOW! Thanks for this app. I really like it.

I would like to make two small requests for future development.

First is it possible to select a shortcut file (.lnk) as the target of the execute program function? The shortcuts show up in the brows folder and you can select them, but when you click done they are not saved. When you re-enter the alarm there is no program selected and if the alarm tries to fire you just get an error which hangs the program and prevents any subsequent programs from firing. Another alternative that would let me do the same thing would be to support arguments to an executable. I get the same problem when I try to enter the arguments.

Second is it possible to enable the automatic profile as one of the selections for the change profile option. I use this profile most often but I cannot set Snooze to automatically set this profile.

I hope that these are not too much to ask. I really like the app and these improvements would enable me to configure it just the way I want. Either way thanks again for the great app.

Chris

I just saw this... ...Not sure how I missed it the first time through. I guess that I am not doing something right since I cannot make this work with a .lnk shortcut file as I mentioned in my last post.

Any thoughts?
