Skalc solutions or workaround :
Some
time "Go" or "Find" don't work fine!
It
may occur if the sequence is partialy defined
Even
if the initial competitors sequence is the right sequence, it's better
to reenter each start number.
Skalc
version 1.2.2 automaticaly set start number not yet defined when marks
are entered. But the generated sequence in not perfect !
Physical
Palm "Up" and "Down" button don't work !
Right,
after some pen click the scrolable list loose the input focus and the
physical Palm "Up" and "Down" button don't work any more.
Just
click into the scrollable list with the pen to restore this functionnality.
For
the same reason, you need some time reselect the data entry field on the
Palm screen. A blinking cursor indicate witch field has the input focus.
If no field has the input focus, just click with the pen in the choosed
field.
I
get a memory error when loading Skalc !
You
have the message "Waba VM Notice - An error was found in the program being
run by the WabaVm. Error: can't allocate memory Please notify the program's
author" before Skalc start.
This
message was observed wen using the network with some release of the IR
software.
If
it's occurs, before starting Skalc go to Preference/Serial and set IR
to "Cradle", then go to Preference/Network and try to connect network
and just cancel the connection.
Two
competitors get the same name !
Suddenly
two different competitors have the same name. This problem was one time
reported but we can't reproduce it.
The
data are not affected, only the name of one competitor is changed with
another. You can rename the wrong competitor name with the right. Use
the marks to distinguish both competitors. Remarks, the competitor are
always located using the initial order into all saved memo.
Skalc
crash when Palm shut dowm !
After
Power off/on I get the message : "Waba Virtual machine version 1.0 for
PalmOS / WabaVM installed and ready"
This
is due to the usage of security feature (hack, security program, launcher)
who interupt the Waba Virtual Machine to do their job when Palm power
off/on. When it give back the control, they only restart WabaWM but not
Skalc.
Just
inibit the start-up security feature during the competition. If it doesn't
work, uninstall the hack or application.
It
seem than Skalc can just save the data before the WabaWM stop.
Skalc
parameters are not initialized !
I
am a registered user, the last help screen indicate this but the prefered
skater is still "unregistered" and all parameter (Nb Judges, factors,..)
aren't initialized.
The
reason is probaly the structure of the 4st line, when you copy the data
to synchronise your default memo containing your keys the <Tab>
characters between 4st line fields are remplaced by one or multiple <Spaces>.
Just
replace spaces between fields with one <Tab>. You sould type the
<Tab> character with the keyboard or with graphity dot-F (ponctuation,
F)
The
standard line 4 is : "1 0.0 A 5 0.5 A 5 1.0 MySkater" fields separated
with <TAB> :
1 = Current part
0.0 = Factor0 (used only for qualification, elsewere 0.0)
A = T or A for part 1 (put T for short programm)
5 = NbJudges1
0.5 = Factor1 (used for combining two parts)
A = T or A for part 2
5 = NbJudges2
1.0 = Factor2 (used for combining two parts)
MySkater = Preferred skater name (competitor)
You
can change those default parameters as you need but keep the parameters
order and <Tab> separators.
Skalc
is very small in a 320x320 display !
Skalc
was designed in a 160x160 black and white device.
For
some customer I recompile Skalc using SuperWaba, I use also this version
on my old PalmV but I recommand you test this version of Skalc on your
device as I don't be able to test myself this version on all devices !
Any more questions or feedback ? Don't hesitate to ask
us !
