Updated Pocket Vaio address book program

Joshharle — Mon, 17 Jan 2005 22:28:49 GMT

I've finally finished this next version. -It now has support for skins, and includes Elkingti's fabulous skin.

It is available here

I've renamed it the Vaio Adress Book Creator, because Vaio ABC sounds cool.

I'm sorry for the annoying message displayed for EACH vCard added. I was originally thinking people would have one file containing all their cards, but that's a bit stupid. I will take it off and just display a summary next time I get a chance.

(very brief) Instructions for creating your own skins are included in readmefirst.html... I'd suggest using the included one as a guide.

As before, any bugs just yell at me

Hope you like it

Josh

P.S. Oh and if you make any nice skins please share them

Doh!
Sorry
I've fixed the download file, but if you want to run it without having to download the whole load again, edit runme.bat, and replace what is there for

java -cp .;./libs/xercesImpl.jar;./libs/xalan.jar;./libs/vCardtoVaio.jar;./libs/xml-apis.jar;./libs/xmlParserAPIs.jar;./libs/vcard4j-1_1_3.jar com.muchmojo.vaio.VCardtoVaio

Sorry for the inconvience and trouble... it is late here and I should have checked it better.

Hi everyone.
How is everyone finding it (apart from the annoying message popup if you add more than one vCard)?

Thanks,
Josh

Congratulations Josh.

Pity Sony could not have done this in the first place.

Re: Updated Pocket Vaio address book program

Joshharle — Wed, 19 Jan 2005 11:16:32 GMT

Would people like VaioABC to include a standalone VCard editor? Or are they happy with using the ones within email Clients, etc?

Anyone got any ideas for future features/updates too? :smileygrin:

Thanks,
Josh

Josh I for one would welcome a stand alone program which would enable me to use my PV for addresses.

Best wishes to you

Taffersim

Re: Updated Pocket Vaio address book program

Joshharle — Wed, 19 Jan 2005 13:10:50 GMT

Okay Taffersim, I've already got some code for this that I can work from

Just checking that you know you can use my program to use your PV as an address book AT THE MOMENT, using contacts from any (okay, almost any) email program?

Thanks,
Josh

What can i say?

I am very proud that Club VAIO is the place where people meet that are capable and ingenious enough to accomplish such things. I have not yet looked at this myself but the mere sound of it impresses me a lot.

This is very cool....

Joshharle — Fri, 21 Jan 2005 14:53:39 GMT

but the mere sound of it impresses me a lot.

I hope it lives up to your expectations I am certainly honored to be refered to as "capable and ingenious" by such a prominent Club Vaio member (Mr Club Vaio himself)

Thanks,

and as always I'm interested to hear feedback and sugestions,
Josh

Hi Josh

Just loaded your programme and Thanks, its Fantastic & more to the point useful!

One pint though, unless the address is down in Outlook as a Home address it does not show up on the JPG, might be worth adding a note for other users in your readme file.

Once again Thankyou for a great program.

Torin

Re: Updated Pocket Vaio address book program

Joshharle — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 17:35:39 GMT

Thanks Torin,
glad you like it. At the moment I've got a couple of pending updates. These are:

-> Removing annoying confirmation window for each vCard file in a big collection

-> Add a "x of n" label at the bottom to help navigation (I THINK this will help... I guess it's important to put it on the left side so you can see it while the picture menu is up)

-> Adding support for multiple everything (phone numbers, emails, addresses) as you've suggested

Am quite optimistic I will find time this week, but you never know
Anything else, tell me

Thanks again,
Josh
