It will soon be one month since the release of version 0.5b of One Touch Organizer.

Unfortunately speaking some pressing personal issues are stopping me of working on OtO right now.

I am posting this to let you know that I officially declare the  OtO project suspended until January 7th 2008. I hope by that time my issues would be resolved, if not I will update you with another post.

N.B.: I have removed the donation link for now just to be fair

Thanks

Here is the detailed what’s new of OtO 0.5b

New Features

Possibility to chose language from the Config file: OtO will by default pickup the language of you ROM, however you can now override this if you wish to run OtO in a different language. To do this open OtO.config file using your favorite text editor and change the value of Language key from OtO to the 2 letter code of the desired language found below.

Portuguese (pt), French (fr), German (de), Spanish (es), Greek (al), Danish (da), Italian (it) & Polish (pl).

N.B.: Don’t forget to download OtO language packs. For more info about how to install the language packs refer to the FAQ

SIP will Show/Hide automatically when needed: The SIP will now Show when there is a need to input text and then hide automatically once finished. -popular request-
Month flip is now on whole screen: To change month you no longer need to swipe on the month name, you can simply swipe finger quickly anywhere on the screen in less than 250ms. -popular request-

Press and hold on a task for 250ms to toggle between completed/not completed: You can now set a task as completed/uncompleted by simply pressing and holding on it for more than 250ms

Minimize button configurable by settings: If you prefer to keep OtO running in the background now you can, just edit OtO.config and set the Minimize key to true. You will have the soft key mapped to a Minimize command and the ‘X’ button to exit the application. -popular request-

Bug fixes

• Fixed error with “NONE” string when running in a translated language

Graphics

• Change the future tasks color from blue to a lighter blue
• Replaced the Cancel/Save button: They now look like the old screen shots
• More finger frindly wheel: The date/time wheel was replaced by a more finger friendly one

If you enjoy OtO please consider donating, and then download your free copy of One Touch Organizer for WM5 and WM6.

The next version of OtO is almost ready it is just that I am a bit overloaded with work and the kids birthday, if everything is fine, One Touch Organizer 0.4.6 beta should be released on Wednesday

What to expect in this release

This will only be a minor upgrade (thus the version number) that will mainly add the ability to set a task as completed or not directly from OtO.

However I am currently also working to make OtO VGA compatible and on the day view, unfortunately these won’t be available until the next release.

How to Install OtO

The zip version

For the zip version just unzip it on your mobile device in any directory you like. Make sure you have OtO.exe and OtO.config in the same directory and all the images in a sub-directory called images.

The cab version

To install a .CAB file:

1. Copy it to your device, I always use storage card\cabs for this but any folder will do.
2. Then run the cab, tell it where you want to install, the popup is not an error message but just to tell you what software was used to create the cab.

(Thanks Maggy for the effort of writing this)

How can I change the language of OtO ?

1. Download OtO language packs
2. unzip the content in the directory where OtO.exe exists (make sure to keep the folder structure as is)
3. Run OtO

At startup OtO will automatically pickup the language of your ROM and select it as its default language. If your ROM language is not yet supported by OtO, it will run in English.

To run OtO in a different language than the one of your ROM, open OtO.config with your favorite text editor and change the value of  Language key from OtO to the 2 letter code of the desired language found below.
Currently supported languages: Portuguese (pt), French (fr), German (de), Spanish (es), Greek (al), Danish (da), Italian (it) & Polish (pl)

Can I minimize OtO ?

In the OtO.config file you will find a key called Minimize

• If set to false then the soft key will be mapped to an Exit button.
• If set to true then the soft key will be mapped to a Minimize button & the “x” button will be set to quit OtO

Can I map OtO to a soft button ?

1. In your registry, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\Today\112 (the 112 might be a different number depending on the phone, but look for one that has a ‘default’ value set to ‘Calendar’)
2. If you want the soft button to say ‘OtO’ or ‘Organizer’ change the ‘default’ value accordingly.
3. Change the value ‘Open’ from “\Windows\Calander.exe” to “\Program Files\OtO\OtO.exe”, or whatever the path is to your installation of OtO. Make sure to enclose the path in “QUOTES” or it will not work!

(Thanks travisn000 for this)

How can I customize OtO

Open the file called OtO.config in any text editor it is self explanatory, if you really want to help then help me write this section!

I can’t install OtO what to do ?

if you DID read the above and it didn’t help check/post in the support forum
N.B.: By the way a comment like “I can’t install it” is FAR from being useful, if you need help give us details.

OtO, or One Touch Organizer, is a software designed to be a Calendar/Task replacement for Windows Mobile devices.

I started developing OtO to fill a personal need to be able to add Appointments/Tasks on my Windows Mobile phone without the need of a stylus.

Although not open source, I am happy to distribute OtO freely so, in other terms, One Touch Organizer is currently a freeware.

DISCLAIMER

• If you like OtO and feel like telling anyone about it please do not publish the binaries but link to this site
