Hi,
I have been using AB since 1.4x to now 3.0, I appreciated the excellent features but there is a long time bug killing me:
The custom field data will "disappear" after new PC sync process. now it seem I found the root cause and hope Inesoft team can fix it:
Here a typical Note contents in my contacts:
----------------------------------
Note contents here
== start pim information ==
People:
[公司: 駿昇科技(中國)有限公司]
[祖籍: 寶安松崗, 屬虎1962]
Date:
[1st Contact: 2004.03.01]
== end pim information ==
-----------------------------------
As you know, the upper part is normal note data, the lower part is used to store custom field data.
When I sync with different computer (I have 2 desktop computers need to sync with my PDA, one is Vista, another is XP), after that, there will be "blank line " inserted in front of and also after the upper part data, like following:
----------------------------------
(this line is new inserted)
Note contents here
(this line is new inserted)
(this line is new inserted)

-----------------------------------
Now, the AB will not show custom field and data, if I manually delete them (only the first inserted line is needed to delete), the custom fields data will shown again in AB.
And the inserted blank line will accumulate from time to time.
I found when I input contents in Note (normal note data), after save, AB will deliberately add a blank line in front, this could be a bug.
Finally I tested with more contacts, I concluded in some case, (too many) blank lines after upper Note data will also disable the custom data.
I have 1800 contacts in my PDA, It makes me crazy..........
Can you fix this bug and find a solution to eliminate all these "unwanted blank lines" in Note data? |
