Is it just me or does anybody else see the new schedule importer as a step backwards?
Old version - cut and paste a trip, hit a button.
Newversion - cut and paste a trip, hit ENTER 3 times.
Old version - hit a button, sync.
New version - hit a button, download ZIP file, unzip, run PALM quick install, sync.
Old version - select start date for each pairing on firing up APDL on the PDA for the first time.
New version - nothing.
Apart from the last step, which wasn't all that onerous, everything else seems to be a step backward. Is it just me and my companies dodgy way of distributing pairings (Mesa, which is undated and AUTO doesn't work) or has the new software made the monthly ritual even more annoying?
This last bid it took me 3 tries to get the PDA updated, and frankly I'm not sure it's correct, but I just hope it is. The Web version has no easy way of verifying that the trip loaded correctly, at least the PC based version would show a little trip summary each time you hit the button.
OK - I vented.
