What's wrong with MortButtons? Did you check out the latest beta? (scroll down to end of thread for the latest update)
btw: Since it's often confused (and I think about renaming due to it), MortButtons has nothing to do with the button assignment itself, it's just a menu/launcher tool optimized for "single button" use. It work's fine in combination with BtnPlus, ButtonMapper, and similar tools.

Hello Mort,
My problem was that MB wasn't showing Pocket Outlook (calendar, ...) correctly...
A nice feature in SmalMenu is the possibility to close all runnig applications in one click. Is it possible with MortButton?
I'm going to try the beta version...
Thanks in advance and long life to MortButtons.

This should be fixed with the new beta.

Not as such. Getting the list of running applications is a bit tricky, and I don't want to kill any wrong tasks (like WisBar or such)...
But you might include other tools like PHM Keys.

Hi Mort,
I'm a big fan of yours. Your programs rock! Thanks for all your hard work. I've just installed your new MortButtons beta, really nice.
Cheers
Matt

If confirm that the Pocket Outlook icons are displayed correctly now...
About PHM Keys, the close function works well by itself (if affected to a real button) but it doesn't when affected to MortButton ? Is it normal ?
Thanks in advance

Strange... I just start the other programs, there shouldn't be much difference how this happens...

Select All... possible?

I'm certain i've seen this query before but I cannot seem to find it!
I have a in-car navigation system and because of the phone not being wholly supported, i need to bluetooth the contacts over onto the system.
the issue is i cannot find the "select all" option in contacts, nor can i select all the contacts manually.
I have around 300 contacts on the phone and there is no way i can sit there clicking, beaming, selecting bluetooth reciever and sending because that in itself can take up to a minute per contact
Thanks

One cab to try is FDC PPCContacts. it provides some advanced functionality.

Try Ctrl+A with the Softkeayboard. I don't know a solution with the hardware keyboard. I'm really missing the Ctrl key on it.

ctrl+a doesnt work... first thing i tried

Here is what you need for select all:

but you can't beam them, it doesn't work.
I will add this functionality in next version...

Unfortunately, this feature was removed in WM5.

Thanks for that... I dont suppose you could write up a beta thing for me to use ? I know its a bit cheeky but its a bit pointless me having a $3000 incar system with built in bluetooth phone, and a $600 phone but yet be restricted because of this one small issie with WM5.
I beamed over 3 today and it took almost 5 minutes for them.
The pattern is:-
Set system to recieve
select>beam>wait to pick up system>and select
once beamed, the system says do you want to beam more.... you have to say yes
then you do the process again.
If I know a rough time-scale then I know whether to borrow a nokia and sync the contacts to that (via outlook) and then beam at once.
Thanks for your help again

Thank you very much!
I'll try this out tomorrow morning.
Thanks again

Can't you just drag the stylus from the very bottom of the list in the tiny bit of white space under the bottom name upwards?
It works fine for me to select all..

Hi sambartle,
If you have several hundreds of contacts, it could take time, it is mush simpler to click on the menu item. BTW, you have probably PPCContactsMgr on your device...

Can I Delete All contacts...?

Can all contacts be deleted at the same time? somehow I have all my contacts in twice but cant seem to see any option to select all.
Thanks

I had this too, I think I imported all the contacts from sim but as it shows sim contacts anyway then they all appear twice.
To delete open phone green button open contacts>menu>sim manager>menu>delete contacts this will run up a list of contacts which can be ticked and deleted collectively (although you do need to tick each one)
Mike

Thanks alot thats great, Ive got the option up now just before i tick all the boxes will it just delete contacts from the phone memory and not off the sim?
Thanks

yeah all sorted now, thanks

Great stuff!!
Edit: By the way this was the SIM manager so effectively I believe that's the contacts gone from the SIM leaving the ones on the phone. So if you change phone you need to use SIM manager again to copy all contacts to the SIM i.e the reverse of what you just did.
Mike

Also, you can use SKTools 3+ to delete all your PIM stuff at once. See my reviews of this excellent apps in the General forum.

HOW to multiselect Pictures then???
Okay, if this is already there, kindly somone explain HOW I can multiselect some pictures i.e. to beam at once?
Cannot find a way, only one by one so far.

I use resco file explorer which enables me to select many files at once to beam it to another phone.

well this is like holding the left mousebutton i windows and dragging the mouse to select several files at once, so in x1 and other it will work in total commander and other apps like it by simply drag stylus over several files to select them.

Oops accidental double post!

And that's all just a registry setting? How rare. Nice though, thanks!

The answer to this lies in understanding bluetooth. Natively Bluetooth beam supports single file transfer. I.E. you have to send them one at a time, even folders containing multiple files cannot be beamed. This is where a third party application is required, which can automatically send multiple files 1 by 1 when you select more than one. I use Resco Explorer, out of the box it allows you to select multiple files with a drag of the stylus and perform any regular operation on them all even transfer across wifi/bluetooth. hope this helps

Don't think this has anything to do with 'understanding' either Bluetooth nor 'how its beamed'. My P990i could do this just fine with bluetooth or infrared!
And when you "try" to select more pics, the phone does not know yet what you want to do with that.... sending via Bluetooth, email, mms, etc. So that has nothing to do with this. Its a Windows craps perhaps?!?!
bharat4ever
Okay, thanks.
Will try a third party app now (once again...)

In the meantime I found to use the Virtual Keyboard, hold down Ctrl button and then can select any number of files. Most of the time it works to mutli send / beam the files/pics.
Or, one can use Resco Explorer to do the same.

mine doesn't have this issue. on sms to: field i just type the name and it shows those contacts contain this name for me to select. mine is td2 original 6.5 rom from htc, hong kong english version, touchpal 3.5

I used to see this in selecting weather cities but I figured out it was because it would put a space in after the word, therefore not finding the city that was proceeded by a comma.
Unfortunately not the case in SMS contacts.
I too am running 3.5

Hi, the issue still exists in version 4.0.

+1 for issue in v4.00.. interestingly it works fine in the contacts list - so if you select names that way it's ok
