First of all I want to thank you for this application. I have used it for a couple of months on a daily basic. It is a budget and expense file to control my money spending.
Since I have my N900 with me all the time, I enter every amount. I take csv backup (Export) from time to time and at month end I transfer the records to my PC running Linux (Mepis) and use database feature in Open office to sort, filter and subtotals to analyze my data.
I have registered one problem before today. I open Portabase and my file. Suddenly I am told that the file do not exists. After a while I have the file back after I reboot. I don't know what happen only that it was during the monthly transfer to the PC.
Today it happen again, “Massstorage mode” opened on PC filemanager I then use “opened with” and Open office spreadsheet. I saved it as a open office to N900!!!
Normally I transfer the csv file to PC first and then open the copied file in Open office.
I read somewhere in this tread that Portabase don't like file extension besides csv, XML. This may be another example.
So I try the old trix with reboot, no luck. Then a boot with battery out, no luck. I look in Filebox shows a locked file (.~lock.BudExp311010.csv#) and the original same file is also shown. I try to open in N900 my original file but the file-manager show only a very limited sub directories and files under N900 directory and my file is not shown. I try to make a new file in Portabase with the same name. Portabase tells me the file already exist.
The strange ting for me is that the file I am after show up in file-manager when I load it outside Portabase.
Anyone have a tip on how to solve the problem, it will be appreciated.
