Palm version of BigOven

jannchtx — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:41:02 GMT

I'm totally new here and trying to decide if this is the software program I want. Is there a limit to the number of recipes you can download to your pda? Specifically a palm t/x? I like being able to have all my recipes available mobily. thanks

Does the current BigOven mobile product offering support smartphones? If not, are there any plans to support?

Thanks

Publishing to mobile device

When I first tested this feature with one "test" recipe, it worked OK. Now that I want to use it for real, it just keeps publishing that test recipe, not my current shopping list and recipes. The list and recipes don't seem to make it to the sync area on my computer; it's not failing in the sync operation. Help.

Where is BigOvenMobile.exe?

vafredricks — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 14:29:40 GMT

The Help file within BigOven says to download Big Oven Mobile from the "Download Center" on the web site. Well, I've spent the last 15 minutes searching for "mobile" (only to get no results) and Download, FAQ's, forums, etc. and can't find this executable anywhere.

Can somebody send me a link to the page where I can download Big Oven Mobile, please?

Thanks!

Difficulty with BigOven Palm recipes

jfitch — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 16:12:32 GMT

Hi,

My problem is when I select recipes from my recipe list to add to my Palm. I keep getting error messages, and if I go through saying "ignore" or "cancel" about 2 or three dozen times to approve it the recipes will synchronize, however, when I publish to the Palm, I UNCHECK the "first clear previously saved recipes" section and it still clears them. WHY??? What am I doing wrong??? HELP!!! Thanks.

Re: Problem with Mobile BigOven on PocketPC

cromanin — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 15:38:20 GMT

I'm having the same problem as Scott had last year. When I transfer a shopping list from my PC to my Pocket PC it opens and displays correctly the first time I open it. After closing BigOven and reopening it, the message "Could not find resource assembly Could not find resource assembly" is displayed and the shopping list is empty.

I don't have any ampersands in my shopping list. I deleted dashes and brackets in case they were a problem.

I installed .NET Compact Framework and it's made no difference.

I'm running Windows Mobile 2003 on an iPAQ 2210, BigOven Mobile 1.300.0.0.

I hope someone can help as my main use of the program will be the shopping lists.

Cheers

My PDA shows the Bigoven software downloaded on the PDA, but the PDA will not hot sync the shopping list or recipes.

Attached is a new BigOvenConduit.DLL file that can be downloaded and copied over your existing "BigOvenConduit.DLL" file, which by default is installed to c:\program files\lakefront software\BigOven Palm Conduit.

We'd like one or two of you to verify that this performs as it does here in the lab before publishing:

1) Download the DLL file to any folder on your PC. It's quite small. It is version 1.0.0.9 (you can verify the version by right clicking on the file and checking the properties of the file).

2) Go to your c:\program files\lakefront software\bigoven palm conduit folder, and rename the existing BigOvenConduit.DLL file so you have a backup should you need it

3) Copy in the new one, into that directory above, making sure it's called BigOvenConduit.DLL.

4) You may need to restart your machine to tell Windows to use this new file (That is, if your old BigOvenConduit.DLL -- probably called version 1.0.0.8 on your PC -- was already cached in memory, only a restart will flush the old one out).

Do a hotsync as normal, and see if the behavior is as you expect, that kicked off the thread. That is, unchecking the "clear recipes first" box should not clear the existing recipes, and checking the "clear recipes first" box should indeed delete them from your PC's staging area before publishing the newly selected ones.

Thanks!

Re: PDA recipes keep getting erased

Reproduced, found and fixed in our labs [see next post for a free fix].

This is was a design error in the BigOven Palm Conduit, which was automatically deleting recipes from the PC's Palm staging area after they were successfully transferred to the Palm. We shouldn't have been clearing them out in the conduit app.

So, we've done a new build of "BigOvenConduit.DLL" which we'll be publishing shortly (see next post) that fixes the problem here in our labs. Thanks much for bringing this to our attention.
