This is just a quick bugfix for those of you with square screens. Ed Thompson found the bug where square screens were not displaying correctly. I had set anchors when I shouldn’t have, and it should now be fixed. In doing this, I also fixed the landscape(rotation) bug.

.Net CF 3.5 https://www.lulzsoft.com/wordpress/2009/08/07/net-cf-3-5-cab/

SQLCE: https://www.lulzsoft.com/wordpress/2009/06/07/sqlce-cab-files-for-ppcs/

This is a bugfix version with a few features added:

• Decimal separator is now pulled from localization info
• Dollar sign($) is also pulled from localization info
• Last gas type used is remembered
• Added an extra digit to gals and price
• CAB file is now compressed to make it smaller, I will work on the EXE’s next

Its been a little while since I have done a significant update.  I managed to fix the maintenance bug (I hope) for real this time.  You will also notice that you *should* be able to use just your fingers to enter in new readings(tap the numbers).  I have the ODO reading automatically brought into the numbers but not the others, since they will go up and down with time.  I could change this later on.  Check the screenshots below……

You will need to have followed the upgrade instructions for .26 already to make the DB change.  As always, .Net 3.5 and SQLCE are required.

I wanted to release something more “done” as an RC, but this will work too. I needed to fix a bug in the maintenance table but you guys also have a treat…….a new tapping method to enter the ODO reading. YOU MUST HAVE .26B BEFORE UPGRADING TO THIS VERSION. Basically, you need to have done the database change instructions from before. Doing them again here will also work.

Ok everyone…..import is working! However, I have changed the format slightly to make this easier to parse, so exports must be done from this version or higher to be re-imported.  They will NOT overwrite current entries, but if there is a match a message will come up and it will not be entered. The format for the CSV is as follows:

======
Export from GasMate Beta .25b

,Date,ODO,Gallons,Price/Gal,Fuel Type,Total Cost,MPG,Gal/100mi
G,”2009-06-21 12:43:53″,”2345234″,”23″,”23″,”Premium(91)”,”529″,”First”,”First”

,ODO,Work Done,Date,Notes,
M,”23423″,”Oil Change”,”2009-06-21 12:43:53″,”notes lulz”
==========

The G and M in front tell the program that it is a gas or maint row. The last two values in the gas table are NOT necessary in that the program calculates them when it runs, so if you are importing from other data you do not need to worry about them.

Other notes:

• Changed Date format to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss (fixes bugs when people override date in NLS)
• Added warning before nuking full table

Please let me know how it works out!

Changelog:

• New update screen with details when there is an update
• Warning before backdated or back-mileage input, but allowed. Don’t be stupid, but I had this before you could delete rows…..so now if something screws up you can just delete the offending row
• Re-disabled import button because it isn’t done…planned for this weekend

Those of you with .24a or b will be able to update right from GasMate.
