Apr 23, 2023

  • ToDo events can be hidden from appearing in the diaryOverdue alarms are not affected.
  • vCalendar (.vcs) files can be imported from File menu or dropped onto an open diary.
  • In Notes, suspended finance lists can now be omitted from the Index and are then sorted to the end of Notes so can still be accessed by turning the pages, or can still be left purely alphabetical if preferredThis is set in the Options window.
  • The Options window has been redesigned to make the text bigger so easier to readThere is now an option to allow dragging of the main window by its borders to help users with smaller screens.
  • Catalan language added by a user, Robert Lopez
  • Diary does fewer full redraws so has less flicker and is slightly quicker.
  • A codes backup folder (called tempcodes) is created on startup in AppData>Roaming>InMyDiary, and deleted upon a normal shutdownThe temporary folder is then available to restore Options and Anniversaries if a crash or computer shutdown occurs.
  • Ctrl+S saves your diary file.
  • some bugs solved:
  • When diary was full screen (or very large) a little window obscured the bottom left of the diaryThis is now cured
  • If more than one ToDo event was in an imported file, they were accidentally given the same Unique identifier which caused a problem if one of the imported events was later deleted.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.85 (May 14, 2021)

  • Long-time users of the diary may have experienced problems running versions 3.82 onwards. This is due to an old error in loading monthly repeat information that has only now become problematic. Any repeat error are now picked up as the diary loads. Any errors found default to 1 month.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.84 (May 5, 2021)

  • A bug (introduced in 3.83) which prevented any editing or entry into the Password Manager has been fixed.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.83 (May 4, 2021)

  • Speed of diary redraw now not affected by moving the mouse as you turn the page etc.
  • Fixed some bugs to do with moving the date of an event.
  • Left/Right arrow keys also turn pages in the diary. Helpful on laptops without page up/page down keys.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.82 (Apr 27, 2021)

  • The diary page-drawing code has been rewritten so, in most case, this should result in pages displaying more quickly, especially if your diary includes lots of repeated entries. Multi-day events now show an entry on each day instead of just day 1 ("cont..." and "final day" added to the entry name). This also applies in agenda view.
  • The Calendar now shows which dates have events (including continuing multi-day entries). These are show in green. For future repeating dates, the number of months you can look forward is the same as the setting for the Agenda view (set in Options - 6 months by default). The current date is shown in red.
  • When you click in the 'fold' of an open diary and the 'Busy Time' window (graphical display of the day's events) opens, it now stays open until you close it. Previously you had to keep the mouse button pressed which meant many users didn't even realise it was there or what it was for.
  • In the case of repeating multi-day events, the graphical display in the Busy Time window now recognises the additional days. Previously it only recognised day 1 of a repeating event.
  • Financial list Notes now display a running balance.
  • Some bugs sorted:
  • Previously on a busy days where the disclosure arrows came into play (so some events were 'hidden'), the graphical display in the Busy Time window only showed the events that were visible in the diary at that time. Now it displays up to 15 events in a day which is usually more than adequate for most users.
  • When the time or duration of an event is edited from the busy time window, the order of events in the diary for that day was not sorted to reflect the new times. this is now solved.
  • Moving the date of an event by means of the calendar in the event edit window might previously have affected the adjacent events.
  • The '&' character in ToDo data was not displaying in the diary.
  • Icons at top were flickering and could disappear occasionally. Same for note-link and up/down reveal arrows

New in In My Diary Portable 3.81 (Aug 13, 2020)

  • Financial-list Notes can be suspended (or archived). Useful for keeping records of old accounts where no more activity takes place.
  • Repeating transfers in Financial lists can have their final payment date changed.
  • The notes index now includes icons to indicate whether the entry is a text note or a financial list
  • Clicking a row in the Financial List Totals takes you to the appropriate account
  • Automatic remote backup window shows date of last backup
  • If the program can't find your language folder upon start up, it now defaults to English rather than shut down.
  • An error message could occur if you tried to delete an entry in the password list without highlighting the parent folder (from the top list) first. This is cured now.
  • There was a bug introduced last time where clicking in the journal list window could crash the program, or show the wrong date if the journal page did open.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.80 (Feb 6, 2020)

  • Automatic remote backups can now be set every 'n' days. This is set from the revised File > Remote backup menu which now has a submenu.
  • Each Financial Note (cashbook) now has a search / refine search / filter results facility. Either right-click over the note and select Search or press the S key over an entry in a financial list.
  • The results of filtering a financial note can be exported to excel (or similar). To export a whole original financial note just do a search with the details field left bank
  • An entry in a Financial Note list can be reconciled by pressing the R key.
  • Autosave previously checked (and saved) changes about every 15 seconds. It still does for good reasons but, previously, if you closed down the diary less than 15 seconds after making a change then the alteration was not saved. Now a background save is performed before shutting down.
  • An asterisk is added to the file name if there are unsaved changes.
  • Many more fields now have a right-click menu to copy, paste and select all text. I don't know why I never did this before (yes I do, I always use Ctrl + whatever myself when I want to do this).
  • The 'native' journal pages now have an independent date-stamp before the text area in case the newly implemented select all and delete encourage you to delete the previous date text!
  • Importing additional diaries was not dealing properly with Notes and ToDos. This is cured and now when overlaying an additional diary you are asked if you want to to include Notes and ToDo data. Sometimes this is not desirable, but you get a choice.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.78 (Nov 21, 2019)

  • Note renaming (introduced in the last edition) was not working properly. Now it does.
  • Telephone number fields in Contacts are not restricted to 11 numbers (so multiple numbers can be stored if needed).
  • Surnames beginning with diacritic letter (eg. Čapek) were not being accepted in contacts. This is now cured.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.77 (May 30, 2019)

  • A bug that crept in two versions ago meant that where two or more events had exactly the same name, the event editor always opened at the last occurrence regardless of which one was clicked. This made it impossible to edit such an event other than last one. This is cured now.
  • The month and year at the head of diary pages was sometimes incorrect when the diary was set to display in two-day mode.
  • In addition to the two important bug fixes, Notes can now be renamed (right-click over the note name) and the end-time increment arrows in the Set Event and Edit Event windows have been repositioned slightly to improve visibility when altering the time.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.76 (Nov 6, 2018)

  • This version is important in that it fixes a few serious bugs in the Notes section.
  • These are:
  • A financial list displayed on the left-hand note page could be deleted if the user then clicked on the diary tab.
  • In a financial list, if a new entry is started but cancelled, then another entry is edited the data became corrupted.
  • If a new Note (of any kind) was created which became the first note (alphabetically) in the list, the right-hand page (showing of course the first Note in the list) did not immediately switch to the new note. Subsequent editing of the displayed note would then corrupt the data.
  • Other changes:
  • Mouse scroll wheel has effect in certain windows - In the Diary window it turns the pages, in Contacts it moves through the records, in Calendar it moves to other years.
  • Dragging the main diary window (by clicking over the R/L borders) can be toggled on / off by holding down the D and R keys. If you don't need to drag the window (usually only necessary on smaller screens) then turning it off can prevent some jumping of the diary window which can occur under certain circumstances.
  • QIF export of Financial List data.
  • The hole punch guides have been redesigned and can be turned off when printing personal organizer pages.
  • The code which creates early warnings of repeating alarms has been improved to reduce the incidence of duplicated warnings.
  • In the Set Event and Edit Event windows, am/pm suffixes were still being displayed and causing errors after changing to 24 hour clock. Also, in certain circumstances, in am/pm mode it was possible to write hours greater than 12 again causing event time errors.

New in In My Diary Portable 3.75 (Mar 11, 2018)

  • An alternative new format allows financial list accounts to be created in the Notes section, with automatic transfer of funds between accounts. QIF files can be imported (for example, from online bank account downloads)
  • Printing routines have been completely revised. Pages (171 x 95 mm in week over two pages format) can be created with crop marks ready to be inserted into a physical personal organizer. All diary printing now shows future repeating events
  • Repeating events can now be copied or moved from any of the repeating entries, not just the initial one
  • Categories can have subcategories and searches can either be parent/sub or just parent
  • 'Faster save over Network' can be turned off if it gives trouble when you are not saving over a network
  • A new Ukranian and a revised Helenic language have been submitted by users Tersh and Tassos Simaioforos
  • Bugs:
  • When auto-refresh is selected, the screen is only redrawn if the diary is visible, so other sections are not overwritten

  • The To Do list now displays by start date order instead of date of entryRunning tasks with no specified dates are listed first.
  • The main Diary, Options, Set event and Edit event windows can be moved by holding down the mouse in CLEAR space in the window and draggingThis should especially help those using resolution screens such as 800 x 600 who otherwise cannot see the whole windows.
  • Bugs:
  • Corrected an error introduced last time where early warning of anniversaries show one year greater than they should.
  • Better trapping of impossible or incorrectly formatted dates.
  • Repeating events with more than one excluded date were not importing correctly in all circumstances (egwhen syncing from Google), and All Day repeating events with excluded dates were not exporting correctly.

  • Corrected some errors with resetting the date of repeating events from the event edit window
  • Diary display doesn't redraw if the clicked option for the number of visible days is already the selected one
  • Hovering over 'agenda' display button was giving the wrong information (said 'two weeks' instead of 'show running agenda')
  • Early warning alarms of birthdays due in the next year were showing the wrong age
