Finanz 3.03 : better use of screen space

Do all possible finance and business calculations on your Smartphone : loans, discounted cash flows, IRR, currency conversion, bonds, annuities, compounded interests and growth, margins, optional RPN, … all in one single calculator.

Version 3.03 of Finanz S60 was just released. It makes better use of the screen space on touch screen phones. Upgrade is free for registered users of previous versions of Finanz S60.

Design your own calculator

Whatever your area of interest (engineering, finance, medical, units conversion…), you can now design your own specialized calculator.

My Calcul S60 is a highly versatile calculator application for Nokia Smartphones with two key features :

  • its 48 function buttons can be customized to do exactly the calculations you want,
  • it can store an unlimited number of equations in the form of mini spreadsheet “solvers”.

My Calcul can operate in standard algebraic mode or in RPN mode (Reverse Polish Notation). Find more details here.

Projekt S60 version 1.24

Projekt S60 is a highly versatile application for the management of lists on Nokia Smartphones, with a large number of uses :

  • Outliner
  • To-do lists
  • Notes taking
  • Project management
  • Mind mapping
  • Shopping lists
  • Packing lists

Many users implement David Allen’s popular Getting Things Done system (GTD) with Projekt S60 on their Smartphone.

Version 1.24 of Projekt S60 was just released. This version features significant improvements on touch screen phones (Nokia 5800, N97, N97 mini…). See here for a list of major changes from version 1.23.

Upgrade is free for registered users of previous versions of Projekt S60. However if you upgrade from version 1.22 or earlier, you may have to un-install the previous version before installing the new one. Make sure that you write down your registration code before uninstalling (use the command Options > Tools > Registration to read your registration code), because it will be erased and you will have to re-enter it after you have installed the new version.

FileNote for Nokia Communicator 9300(i) and 9500

FileNote is an Advanced File Manager with macros/plugins and file description capabilities (see a nice review here). Martin O’Neill, a long time user of Projekt S80, has just uploaded a FileNote / MaM macro to the FileNote group here. This speeds up eases some repetitive operations in Projekt S80 as well as adding some additional functionality.

Nokia 6124 : not compatible ?

Two users report problems with Projekt S60 and Finanz S60 on this phone :

” I am trying to install the Project for S60v3 on my Nokia 6124 but when I start the program the phone enters an endless reboot loop. I have to remove the memory card… “

” [Finanz S60] Installation OK. But, when starting the program the phone shuts down and restarts again…”

The problem will be investigated.

Found a good PC XML/OPML editor

As there is no PC companion application to Projekt, a number of users have tried existing PC outliner applications. This is from the Google cache of an entry from the now defunct Kylom forum :

Hi everybody,

I’m still using my nokia 9300 and Projekt almost on a daily basis at my office. For YEARS now I have been searching for a good PC alternative for editing the exported OPML files from Projekt. Now at last I’ve found one that :

  • has the ability to show projekt’s notes in a treepad fashion on PC, which has been a big “must-have” for me, personally… (that’s why I never liked the JOE editor)
  • doesn’t corrupt any of the the tags in the OPML code on importing nor exporting. (All the values, categories, dates, checkboxes etc are still there, intact, when you re-import back to Projekt)
  • do accept editing and changing of the content of the file – all the tags are accessible and possible to edit if you like to.
  • imports and exports all the UTF code correctly !

Simply wonderful. I am so happy ! :-)

The name of the app is Treeline and you can find it here.

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK NICELY WITH PROJEKT’S EXPORTED OPML-FILE

First, of course, you have to export the projekt file from your phone as a OPML file with UTF encoding.
Copy this file to your PC.

Go to Treeline.

Choose “open”, get files of type “all files” and choose your OPML-file.
This opens the “import text” window.
Choose the option “generic XML” to import the file into the treeline app.

The file now opens in a raw XML-shape in the treeline-app. Not very easy to watch or to use.

But – now you go to to “data”, choose “configure data types”.
The “configure data types” window opens up for you.

Choose outline in the list window and go to the “output” tab.

Change the text in the “title format”-window to {*_text}
and the text in the “output format”-window to {*_note*}
and press “apply” and “OK”

Voila ! If you choose the “show data output” you see a projekt outline text editor just the same way as it appears in your nokia 9300.

You can check all your different tags in the “data editor” window and there you also can edit anything you wish.

When you are finished you go to “file” and “export” and choose to export as “generic XML”, rename the file to .opml and then you can import it back into your phone.

Drawbacks:

  • Due to the limitations of Projekt’s OPML export format, all internal Rich text formatting of the projekt’s notes are lost in the process. Simply because the rich text information isn’t implemented in the OPML-file to begin with!
  • Sometimes it seems like the export from the treeline app, back to generic XML, causes some glitches. I don’t know exactly why it happens but sometimes there is loss of text in the notes… Maybe someone can figure out why that happens… I haven’t found the reason for this yet.

Apart from that – it works beautifully !

Cheers
