Spb Diary 1.7.5 Released: Vertical Tabs in Pocket Plus
Ever since Spb Software House introduced Spb Diary and Spb Pocket Plus integration, users have been crying for vertical tab support. The new release, v1.7.5, now includes that and it works brilliantly. In addition, there is improved horizontal tab support, enhanced integration with Pocket Informant, improved message handling, tweaked auto-height behaviour, and other minor bug fixes. It's a free update for all existing registered users of Spb Diary. If you've yet to try it, you can download a free 15-day trial version, and/or purchase the full version for $14.95 from our affiliate software store.

I went to upgrade from 1.7.2 and it looks like their download link isnt updated yet with 1.7.5
Both the install and the "About" report 1.7.2 not 1.7.5
I sent an Email to their support team and Nicholas - but being its the middle of the night in Russia I'm thinking they are out of the office until tonight.
So verify your install is the latest rev after you load it.

I downloaded the CAB this morning and it was 1.7.5, works like a dream, so if the desktop installer isn't updated, try the CAB file.

Yeah, when I downloaded the exe this afternoon, it was still at 1.7.2. (And I know it wasn't a cache issue because I hadn't downloaded it on that computer before.) The cab file was correct, though.

Excellent - thanks Jon.
OK, the horizontal is nice but here's what I wanted.
When I select the diary tab I still want to see icons on the screen if I want them.
Am I missing something? I like the idea of selecting another tab and diary clearing the screen of all my appts (right now I have Diary at 150 minimum and Pocketplus above it - two rows of small icons)
Then I've created tabs of multiple addtnl icons broken up by "Main" (Most used), "Connections" (Net settings, NetFront, IE, VXIp , etc), "Sys" (settings basically), "Programs- icon only" All the programs I use, SPBWeather, and games
in a perfect world I would merge "Main & Diary Calendar" basically icons over calendar.
It doesnt look like I can do this, yet

And where the heck is Time for Pocket Plus?! it can't be that much to make it pocketplus aware can it?

Nope, that's an absent feature, but I can definitely suggest it to the developers on your behalf. I can imagine, though, that it'd take many more hours of coding (some restructuring of how Diary operates within Pocket Plus).

The next release of Spb Time is Pocket Plus-aware.

Thanks Darius
I'm messing with it now and 1.7.5 does a better job of auto sizing now with the icons included. The icons, however, appear at the bottom and I'm used to them at the top, can making it selective for above or below the calendar be that much rewriting?
Yea, Victor told me about the new Time version in January. I'm just impatient. :twisted:
As a whole, SPB and WebIS are tops in my book. They are very responsive to not only quickly stabilizing but enhancing the products, based on customer feedback.
Where I used to like Omega One they never seem to fix their bugs or actually enhance their products - I'm no longer much of a Agenda Plus fan for the same reason.
Look how much SPB has enhanced their products in just the last 4 mos - and Alex over at WebIS as well. Solid QA and testing as well.
The only NEW product I'd love to see SPB come out with is a stock monitor tab and perhaps an atom/rss feed tab. Something like the Journal Bar stock and JB news features. Those were nice, but buggy and memory hogs/leaks. Never could get the weather on my PPC to update correctly under JB.
The stock monitor would just be a simple current value for selectable stocks. Or even just a red down, or green up icon with the value below - click and it provides an SPB Weather style feed about the stock. Short distinct nothing fancy - hi/lo, current, volume a small chart if doable.
Anyways, I'm going to work with Diary/PocketPlus for a bit and see if I can tweak it and live with those icons at the bottom. Oh the stress! How will I ever be able to live with this?

Sounds like a nice feature to include in Spb Finance, which itself can be integrated into Spb Pocket Plus (and Spb Diary).

Well sure, but I don't need all the hallabaloo included in finance.
Besides SPB could make more if it was a $9 separate program

Hmmph... I just rebuilt my device four days ago, redownloading and installing everything from scratch, and there have been three new releases of the software I use in that time. I predict that there will be new versions of Pocket Plus, MySportTraining, and FlexWallet in the next seven days.
