Hey man,

I grabbed your application and installed it with no problems. I understand how it works and all, but I have one minor issue/bug that would be great to fix. It involves browsing for a new ringtone. Basically, you have a drop-down folder list that won't let you manually type the path to your ringtones. When you click the "..." to browse, it only lets me browse my Storage Card.

I keep my ringtones in \\DEVICE\Application Data\Sounds which is one of the default spots that Windows looks for ringtones. Unfortunately, I cannot browse to that directory within your app, or tell it to look in that dir. I tried everything, but couldn't find a fix.

It's just the only thing that would stop me from using this program. It's great otherwise, as everything else is easy to understand and configure. I had been looking for a program to do this sort of thing (+ use random ringtones for any incoming call, but I'm not even sure if that's possible, as there are no other apps that do it), and yours definitely works for me.

Thanks a lot for coding it up! Looking forward to a fix anytime you get around to it!

Added new Version

Version 4.2

- Support for wma ringtones
- added Some new folders

It would be great if it can remember (save) which ringtone is set for which category. This way, user can reapply the ringtones for the categories if there are new contacts and etc.

Thanks.

v3patel · Nov 26, 2007

My advice: Make a use of import and export

One contact can be assined multiple categories. So it is kind of Harder to set up. but export will export current ringtone that you have assigned to individual contacts and import will import those ringtone to same contact if contact exists and ring tone file exists.

Well, currently I'm thinking of a simpler solution. Just let your program saves the ringtone for the category. When the user want to reapply the ringtone, he/she will just go through with the current steps required.

In another words, everything stays the same. Only that, when the user tap a category, the ringtone for that category is loaded from the setting (instead of the user browse for it). So, the user just need to tap the "Assign" button. This is very handy if a user just added a new Contact to a category... and err, like me... forgot which ringtone is used for that category.

Thanks.

Can you please try exporting current categories and then re-importing back if that work then then may issue in old export file.
Also want to find out your languege set for your devie, is it English or somthing else?

Hi,

Version 5.0 works very well on my Kaiser using Duttys DualTouch v4 RTM ROM.

Just one small problem. It creates 2 entries for it on the Programs list. This is easily fixed of course but I thought I would let you know.

Hi,

I have tried this program on Hermes with WM6 and unfortunatelly not everything works.
If I assign ring tones one by one to particular contact, everything works fine. However, when I want to assign the ring tone to whole category, I have an issue. Everything looks to be OK, categories are listed, I select a ring tone, the progress bar shows progress of the work and finish everything without any error. However, when I go to the contact it self, no ring tone is assigned!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

David
