29/11/04:  PDA Update Version 2  (download size 4.06MB)

• toolbar: added new icons:  FL for Family list  BL  for Bird List and  PL for Personal List.
• toolbar: added family list icon  FL to appropriate pages for easier navigation
• menu: added "about" details of program version to the start menu. This version is 2.0.
• main bird list: Now defaults to Roberts 7 names in family order, with no bird number displayed.
• main bird list: corrected some errors in regional lists.
• main bird list: Options. The main bird list has a number of options on the [Start>Bird List >B-List>Options] dialogue page. These include the list to work from, names, numbers, and sort order of the list. This dialogue popped up every time you started the program to check which bird list to work from. This now has a "show list options at start" checkbox, with the default option "off". The previously selected bird list, personal list, and place and dates are now remembered. If you end up with a "short" list from using the ID module or Birding Spots module, you need to re-select "ALL" birds from the LIST box on the options page.
• main bird list. Added "check personal list" checkbox. This function compares your main bird list with the species listed in your personal list, and "ticks" the main list. The default setting is "off" as this does slow down the list module on less powerful machines. If you tick this option, the personal list options box will open for you to create or select a personal list.
• personal bird list: Added sort list by bird name, date or place
• personal bird list: Added drop-down options for place names
• personal bird list: Added search by part of name
• personal bird list: New "species count" in personal list. You have been able to enter the same bird more than once in your personal list (different place or date), but not get an accurate species total. This feature counts the total number of records and the number of individual species entered into your personal list.
• bird pages: added scientific bird name to the bird info pop-up
• bird pages: added warning "bird data not in loaded list" if you have installed a sub-list of species data (ie not the full 128MB install), and then select a species from the full bird list for which no data is loaded. This also applies if no bird sound is available.
• bird pages: Added Rare Bird Data to the texts.
• bird pages: fixed some high-pitched bird sounds which were not playing audibly.
• Backup and Restore lists on the PDA itself. Available as an option on the personal list  PL  menu, you can back up to a selected place on your PDA. Note: If you allow the battery to run flat, the PDA loses all programs and files saved to main memory. Choose the "iPAQ file store", or an SD-card for secure backup (not the Roberts PDA card which is full).
• Help: Updated the Help file with new screens and functions.

Updates to the PC download manager, include:

• improved navigation
• PDA de-registration option. Please de-register before changing PDA's.

• viewing of PDA lists on your PC, without first integrating the lists into your Version 3 lists.
• automatic and manual "backup and restore" of Version 3 lists and PDA lists when transferring lists from one to the other.
• Help: Updated the Help file with new screens and functions.
