[EDIT 29.09.2009]
Updated to version 2.1.8...future versions are planned to be released on Marketplace.
Note...99% of issues with "crashing on startup" is because people either have not installed .Net 3.5, or they have not rebooted their phones after installing .Net 3.5!
And one last thing, we will watch this thread, so feel free to ask for features, enhancements...we might add it in future versions on Marketplace.
Will update here when new version is on Marketplace with info about what is improved. ...it will most likely take a while before it is available...we are still in process of getting our account at Microsoft...
TrineFix is a utility that will fix a lot of issues you might have with your PIM data (Contacts, Appointments and Tasks)...and is you have no "issues" with PIM data, it still can be a benefit to easily do a cleanup with TrineFix (getting rid of very old appointments and so forth).
Duplicate contacts or appointments, FileAs on your contacts not as you like it, missing country codes, or not the format you want it to be!? TrineFix will fix it for you!
And if you sync with Outlook on your PC (or to a work server with Exchange), you will naturally get those data fixed on next sync too.
I have used it myself to fix my Outlook data at work...since my workphone syncs with my jobs Exchangeserver, so all fixes are applied at my work PC seconds later.
"Preview, manually correct, then apply the fix"
There are other applications that do much of the same, but TrineFix lets you always preview the data that will be affected, and even select/unselect individual items quickly, to give you full control.
Touchscreen, non-touchscreen, QVGA, VGA, WVGA, 320x320...
An another fairly unique feature of TrineFix is that it will adjust itself to different device types. If you have a smartphone, the buttons are smaller (since they do not need to be fingerfriendly), if you got a device with touchscreen the buttons are larger. If you have a touchscreen and no hardwarekeyboard, the software keyboard will show automatically when needed (option you can turn on/off under preferences). There are more, but I guess you are getting the point! ;-)
Some of the features in this version (2.0)
DISCLAIMER
We have tested TrineFix a lot and everything works great in all our tests.
...but you should still for safeties sake, take a backup of all your PIM data before you use TrineFix, just in case... ;-)
You can for example use PIM Backup (http://www.dotfred.net/) which is free, and does exactly what it says!
Feedback
This is what this forum is for, let us know if something you want is missing, something works great, or heay if something plainly sucks, whatever...I think we can take it!
TrineFix...what a weird name!?
If you think the name "TrineFix" is weird...well, it's the name of my girlfriend (who has helped out with all my apps btw), and the reason I made this program when she got a problem while syncing with several PC's, and ended up with a LOT of duplicates, and it drove her mad...so I made an app that fixed Trines problem...ergo "TrineFix"...and later "TrineSeries"! So now you know the store behind the weird naming!
And her name is not pronounced "trayn" (like they did in the MsMobiles podcast...it made us both laugh ), but more "treeneh"...ok...diffucult to explain...it sounds nice in Norwegian at least!
Where's the scrollbars!?
Scrollbars are NOT shown as default, but you can turn that on under Preferences (Auto/Off). I have them off as default, since I think the scrollbars in WM are "ugly"...ok...I am crazy, I know! :-D
New versions
TrineFix will on startup check against our webserver if there is a new version available, this chech is done on a seperate thread and is very light on datatrafic (approx 40-50 characters/bytes).
Below are screenshots showing what you would see if you upgraded from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 for example...

Some of the features in this version (2.0)
- Duplicates (app, con)
You decide what fields should be compared (for example you might want to see all contacts that has similar names only)
Auto-remove exact duplicates, and get a preview of "near matches", and decide which instance to keep for these near matches
Auto-remove exact duplicates, and get a preview of "near matches", and decide which instance to keep for these near matches
- FileAs (con)
In Outlook you can set FileAs (ie. "Firstname Lastname", "Lastname, Firstname"...) differently per contact. I prefer to have them all the same, and TrineFix can set it as you wish for all your contacts in one go.
- Country codes (con)
Change the formatting of countrycode on all your phonenumbers ("+1", "001", "(+1)", "(001)"...).
Add a default country code (your home country normally) to all phonenumbers that have no country code defined
Add a default country code (your home country normally) to all phonenumbers that have no country code defined
- Bulk deletes (app, con, tsk)
Get a list of all appointments, contacts or tasks that has a specific keyword/characters in them, and quickly uncheck/check all or some of these and delete. Might sound complex, but it sure ain't when you do it in TrineFix!
- Built-in version check and download feature
TrineFix now has same built in version check as all TrineSeries applications, so you get a hint when there is a newer version, with info about whats changed/improved since the version you have, and let's you download and install cab directly from the application
- Truly finger friendly (no small buttons or menus)
- Keyboard friendly (we do not leave poor Smartphone owners behind, do everything with the keyboard if you want to
