I've updated PlaylistEditor to version 1.7.

It now has a button to launch the current playlist (without saving) with the program registered to handle that type of playlist.

It also has a new menu command to shuffle the items in the playlist in a random order.

Get it from the usual spot, click the link on the right sidebar.

I've updated the VGA version of GSPlayer to the latest normal release, 2.25.

This includes a WM5 version that uses the Soft Keys.

Just drop the new exe over the old one from the regular 2.25 install. Otherwise copy a version of gsgetfile.dll into windows to make sure you can browse anywhere.

As always, I have no idea what the difference is between the 3 version (regular, 64-bit, and xscale) beyond 64 bit should have better sound quality for high bitrate mp3s.

You can get it in the usual place, look on the right sidebar for a link.

Enjoy.

I've uploaded a version that allows you to specify a non-standard port to connect to.

I saw a new open source version of FreeCell announced over at PocketGamer and decided to take a look.

Turns out, it isn't VGA aware, and uses the old style cards. I decided I wanted the shiny new cards, so I converted it to run in VGA.

Install from the original CAB or EXE installer here: http://surfvi.com/~nandhp/ceproj/freecell/

Then overwrite the FreeCell.exe on your device with the FreeCell.exe found in here

The modified source code can be downloaded here as well.

There's a rendering bug I can't track down that hides the cards remaining text until you show the SIP and then hide it again. I'm thinking this is a problem with GetClientRect() but I'm not sure.

I also hope to add a VGA icon sometime.

Enjoy!

I believe I've fixed whatever was causing the hangs on reboot on WM2003 devices. With that in mind, I'm releasing a new version with a few more features:

• Hitting enter in the text field now causes it to search
• The default system web browser is now used. You can change this is the settings dialog
• The settings dialog is now accessable from the globe menu
• The globe menu has 3 types of searches enabled that you can choose from:
  • Search - this sends the text in the textbox to the search engine you have configured
  • http://%s - this allows you to type a url in the box and have it be launched
  • http://www.%s.com - this allows you to type just the main word of the address in the textbar, sort of like hitting CTRL+ENTER allows you to do on the desktop
• Hopefully your settings will be saved now in all cases

I will continue to add a few more features, mainly where you can customize the menu to hold various different search engines to select from.

Thank you for all your patience. Remember to deselect SearchToday in Settings->Today->Items before installing.

I've uploaded a new test version that fixes a tiny problem SearchToday had in the code, and makes the installer set some more registry entries.

I have tested this on the ARM emulator and found it to not hang (i got it to hang once in a while before, but its hard to know if that was from using the emulator, or if it was my code.)

For those still interested in testing with WM2003:

Remember to make a backup prior to use. If this doesn't work, I'll take some people on as beta testers who don't mind doing this kind of thing.

Thanks for your patience.

I have uploaded a new version of SearchToday. This version supports:

• New popup menu when you click the globe to clear the edit box, and activate and deactivate the SIP (hopefully)
• A new options dialog that is accessible from the control panel. This allows you to change the preferences of:
  • Browser used. Enter the full path to the browser (File selection dialog coming in next version.)
  • Search url used. Details below
  • Background color - select your favorite color if the default guess isn't good
  • Text color - choose whatever color text you would like, or let the default be picked up from your theme

Notes on using a custom search URL

You may enter any url here, and where you include the %s sequence will be replaced with whatever text you have typed into the textbox.

Examples:

Google Canada: http://www.google.ca/pda?q=%s
Yahoo Search: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%s

You can also launch urls from the box directly if you were to do:

%s

Then you could type in any url from the today screen and launch your browser.

To Install (READ FIRST)

To avoid problems uninstalling please follow this procedure:

1. Go to Settings->Today->Items and uncheck SearchToday
2. Go to the Today Screen and make sure it has disappeared (IMPORTANT!)
3. Uninstall the existing version (optional)
4. Install the new CAB

If you don't do this, it may not work. An installer will be included in the next version. To make sure it worked, tap the globe icon. If you get a menu, it worked. If you don't, retry the following steps, inserting a soft reset before the new install.

Download is from the same url:

Thanks for the kind words, and let me know of any new issues!
