FreeVerse v0.2
Description:

An application in which to enter Appointments, To-Dos and diary entries. Data entry can be completely free-form (i.e. just click and start typing), but a slightly more structured approach is also available and will be developed further in future versions. Hardcore GTD geeks will not like this at all, but if your PIM requirements are fairly simple, try FreeVerse.

To install,open the zip file and drag the FreeVerse executable to wherever you keep your programs. Source included  and comments invited.

V0.2 Well, quite a lot of changes, really ...

  • There is a graphical representation (the BusyBar) on the right-hand side of the data input field to display your appointments.
  • Search has been implemented
  • Some purging abilities have been implemented
  • Help can now be viewed in both the app itself and in HTML. The HTML file is included, but don't bother installing it: it gets re-created from within the program.
  • Unfortunately, I had to change the file format for appointments slightly, the guillemots surrounding an appointment have been changed to square brackets. You existing appointments will not disappear! But they will be invisible to the BusyBar unless you cange the guillemots to square brackets. Oh, just enter a new appointment somewhere - you'll see what I mean. This is alpha software, file formats can change!
  • Today in History is still big on placeholders and short on data. Sorry.

V0.1.1 Some bug fixes. Today in History added, but so far it has more placeholders than data.

V0.1 Initial Release

hello. i have a diary software on my win machine called Advanced Diary(v.1 was a freeware). could you please have a look at the file format of that diary, and maybe you could use that file format in your app? so the database could be used for win application and under haiku.
and the second thought - could you think of the ftp support in your application, so one can save data on the ftp path, to be able to use the same database on the several machines?
thanx.

I'm not really interested in adopting someone else's file format and getting caught out every time they change something. Plain text files will live forever. Proprietary formats change at random intervals.

And someone is using More Advanced Diary for Mac and someone else is using Even More Advanced Diary for Linux and now they want to know why my little app is compatible with your program and not with theirs.

Also, yab does not give me the RTF support that would take AFAIK. But the source to Freeverse is available, so if someone wants to give it a go, you have my blessing.

FTP access would be possible, but that really should work at the OS level. If you could get something like this:
http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/drivers/file-system/ftp-fs
to work, then there is no need for any specific app to support ftp. It just becomes another disk to save to.

ok then. sounds like i should learn yab to write my own app. take care.

ps: its was also plain text,and v.1 of the application was a free and simple enouph.i cant use your application because will not be able to view/edit on my win machine.

But the current version is 3.5 and

"Advanced Diary support rich text formatting, backgrounds, diary templates, images, tables, hyperlinks to the Internet or local files, as well as any records in the database. You can export your data to RTF or HTML files, built-in Print option allows to EDITING reports before printing, and saving it as RTF or HTML files. Moreover Advanced Diary supports voice recording, file attachments"

In plain text? Not likely. V1 must be 3-5 years ago and you can't even download it from their website.

Sorry, I'm not going to spend the next 2 months of my life making my app compatible with an obsolete, unsupported version of an obscure program. Now if the challenge was to make it compatible with Google Calendar, and that was even possible with my tools and skills, maybe. But no, not this one, sorry.

many people are using v.1 because it is free one. Its not an obsolete version, just the free one. But anyway, i've got your point. Sorry to have botherred you.
