Re: [ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

Hello krk969,
I have recovered the 11 Mb in Rootsf and it has nothing to do with Buddy.

I normally have “extra development” as the only disabled in the repositories.
I like to use App manager and therefore I enabled “extra development” in order to download and install Buddy. Conky shows 11 Mb lost in rootsf.

Since this was the only ting I did I though it must be Buddy. The only other solution was that extra development repository take the 11 Mb. I could not believe this since Wiki says you can reclaim 5 Mb by disabling this repository.
So I can confirm this repository take 11 Mb of your rootsf. Wiki should be updated.

It must be wrong that this repository can swell up. Something should be done to push app's to extra testing and further.

So I will reinstall and register krk969.
Tank's for this Application.

used QPainter to draw most graphs. was a pain !
if you would like to interact with the graph elements then I suggest using the Qt graphics framework.

Ok, I've got good news and bad news.

Good news is that buddy now appears under utilities in my catorise'd main menu.

Bad news is that for some reason it's saying that it's not registered and won't accept my key. It appears the user id has changed. It also seems that the data I entered the other night has disappeared.

Any suggestions?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

good to know. thanks for informing.

this was reported by another user too, now Im sure there is an issue.
I generate the user id's from some system files that arent supposed to change ! , seems like it is.
I'll patch that up quickly .
unfortunately the data is deleted on closing the app when its unregistered.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

Thanks for the quick reply. Let us know when you've managed to iron it out, as I'm quite stuck at the moment.

On the subject of generating the user id, could you use the IMEI as a seed instead of system files? Or maybe a combination of IMEI, Wireless MAC adress and phone number? Those should be far less susceptible to change.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

I didnt use the IMEI thinking some users might not like it.
Im afraid I'll have to resort to it in the end if I dont have other options.
I could probably hash/scramble the IMEI so its not evident as such anywhere.
for now, you could PM me your user id , I can send you a key to continue using it if you wish.

cheers.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

I've just PM'd you with my id - thanks.

With regards to the inability to save in the unregistered version, could that be changed to an inability to load? That way one's data would be saved and could be accessed as soon as one registers, rather than having the re-enter. It would also reduce the impact of accidental unregistration if the data wasn't deleted, but just unavailable for loading.

EDIT: Got the new key, thanks

I thought it was possible to change the graph time period? Can't find how to do it... :(

EDIT: I mean the graphs in the "totals" area.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Buddy - a budget and expense manager for maemo.
 

the totals graph is an annual graph to display sum totals per month.
more details are mentioned here

the period setting is only for the usage/distribution graphs which need a date input.

what is it you exactly want to do ?
