Alex,

this is just a minor niggle but when the program is upgraded with a
new version I have to redo a couple of things and it is a little
frustrating.

First, the program is moved to the Unfiled group in the launcher and
so I have to go looking for it and recategorize it. I guess this is
due to a Palm feature not application setting, but it does niggle a
little. Luckily Nineropad has been awarded one of my permanent
buttons, so when I need it, it is findable.

The second one is that the preferences that were set last time
(widths, colors, right vs. left handed) are reset to default. Again,
easy to redo, but I always start writing then invoke a minor deity as
I realize that I forgot this time too.

If you get a chance ...

Thanks

Roger

Hi Roger

Okay I have eliminated the automatic reset of preferences from one
version to the next, unless these prefs change in structure (e.g., add
a new pref setting for, say, default folder color). The change will
kick into effect 2 versions from now, i.e., 1.1R6 (may also be called
1.2).

Cheers
Alex

Greatly appreciated, but don't let my ramblings take you from the real
feature list, or I might feel emboldened to add more :-)

Hmmm. 2 versions form now. How many are you juggling at a time ????

Only the next ninerpad (and some iPhone stuff) (and some ninerpaint
stuff).
