I’m sorry that a few folks are running into problems – we are happy to help you but we can’t do it on the blog. It just isn’t setup as a support forum. What we do have are real people personally answering every single email. So please – drop our support team a line or give us a call. We’re taking a little longer than usual due to the volume of support but we will help everyone!

@Stef: As you probably know the desktop version allows synching to remote locations – although I can’t reveal our plans, I will say that one of our goals is to offer the same feature set on every device – for some of the mobiles it just takes a little longer to get everything in there.

@Charly: Sorry you don’t like the edit fields UI. We got a lot of feedback on that one and most people are pleased BUT I’ll put your comments into the doc as we consider our future plans.

As for the “Done” button, that is again a result of UI testing – people didn’t understand that just clicking the Home ribbon “stopped editing” and wanted something they should clearly click – and yes, the wording “Done” was chosen because changes are saved right away – so there isn’t Save and Cancel – there is “Done”

Regarding the window resizing, that’s the default for the base code we’re using but we may tweak that some more in the future. It’s good to get feedback like this.

Regarding the color scheme, I’ll add your request!

After each time i close ewallet (7.0.1.27651) windows explorer crashes randomly. I’ve been able to replicate this across a PC and notebook with both are running windows 7 x64. Any idea in fixing this?

cheers

Once eWallet starts for the first time I get: eWallet Has Stopped Working. The same errors happen on uninstall. I have not attempted to sync yet as I am concerned the software is unstable and could corrupt my eWallet data from 6.0. Just an FYI, this is a clean Win7 Pro install and clean eWallet 7 install. What should I do?

For every two emails we answer another one comes in. Most of these are “good” emails like “I want to upgrade” and “How do I do X” but still – we’ve got a LOT of email (and phone calls) to answer. Anyhow, I apologize I won’t be able to be more active but I will still try to reply when I can.

After I close the app it will synchronize with another location on me network. The sync seems to work okay but I get an error and a request to send the bug report to Microsoft. I do not but when I select debug and my Microsoft Visual Studio instance comes up, the error is written to be

Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: ‘MainForm”.

Lets us say that I have my wallet file on the root of the K: drive and I sync with a copy on the C: drive. When I load the K drive copy, it loads, I do my work and then exit out. It will sync the the copy on the C drive. If I load the wallet on the C drive, it will try to sync with, apparently, itself. Uh. Also, I have the confirm option set as “..multiple files”. I have only one file sync set up yet it asks me to confirm every time.

Tired of me yet. But I must ask, am I doing it wrong? :)

However, I have some issues with the Windows version. The “Edit Fields” is seriously not ready for prime time. First off, it should be “Edit Field” because you can only edit the selected field. Maybe that dialog box should include a dropdown list with another entry box so you can select the field to edit and then enter the change. When you select to edit a field, depending on the design, it will hide the first couple of entries on the card. If you edit the field name and then click on the card, the change is automatically accepted. What is the point of the “Done” tab if that is so. I thought that 6.x had the ability of removing fields. I may be mistaken there but that is gone so that each card takes up needless space. The sectioning for the right-hand pane is very strange. There seems to be a dependency between the three sections where I cannot adjust the size of the Notes area without mucking up either the Details or the card section. If I have a card with no Details but plenty of Notes, I cannot adjust the Details section to a size I choose. It seems to be coded for a minimum size even if there are no entries. If I pull up the Notes section, I could lose the Card section but the empty Details section is there no matter what. Once I change the Style, Color Scheme or Background, there is no “Default” option to undo crazy changes and get one back to the original build version.

That is it for now but I only started working with it yesterday. Keep up the good work.

Such as exploiting one of the various free webdav solutions out there.

Say I am away on a business trip and for some reasons, I encounter serious problems with my iPhone forcing me to restore it to factory defaults. Being able to simply redownload eWallet and restore my DB would make it a “life saver”! The reason I mention webdav instead of anything else is for versatility purpose. This would allow you to be able to port that capability potentially to all the platforms eWallet runs on!

It is a Vista design that has been fiercely debated. However, Ilium was forward-thinking enough to provide us an option to stick with the classic design if we so desire (click “Styles” at the top of the far right box on the ribbon, then select “Classic”)! You still get the nicer search, design, and sync features!

We really apprecicate it. Something I talked about a long time back was that customer reuqests and suggestions are some of the biggest factors in deciding how to improve our products. When you see us implement something and thinkg “Why did they work on X instead of Y” it is often because we got a LOT of requests for X.

@Toby: Thanks, Toby! And we freely admit that there are things we needed to do different (and will in the future) so sorry about that.

@Rob: Not everyone in the beta group liked it either, but what they liked was customization. To get a feel for what you can do with it, try using the Classic Style. You’ll see just how much you can make the UI your own. As for fuzzy – not something we’ve seen but it sounds like clear type might be “helping.”

@Dean Roberts: WE really like the ribbon as well so it’s great that you do! Our concern is that the Ribbon is such a Microsoft thing that Mac folks would funnel amazing amounts of hate towards us if we used it there. I’d love to hearing opinions on this one!

@mattbg: This isn’t something we got from any of our beta testers or that we’re seeing in other comments BUT if it continues please email support. They can try to replicate your conditions.

@Binks: We do have plans for Windows Mobile. The old problems still exist (having to code cool stuff that is supported on iPhone from scratch on Windows Mobile) but we’ve got some ideas!

Thanks again, everyone!
