Simple Calendar

[Marco]

Hi John,

Thank you for this update!

I tested the program on a PC without PowerShell 7 installed. When I click the 'Settings' button, the 'Use PowerShell 7' option is correctly disabled. After closing the program, as a test, I manually opened the 'zcalendar.ini' file and set the 'Method' key to 4. When I reopen the program and then the 'Choose method' dialog box, the 'Use PowerShell 7' option is both disabled and selected. In fact, when I then try to create a task, at the confirmation stage, the program naturally displays the 'Failed CreateProcess' error window with the message

Code Select Expand

"C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe" -WindowStyle Hidden -FILE "R:\Temp\calendar_exe\SCR1.PS1"

This is a deliberately unusual test scenario, but I simulated having subsequently uninstalled PowerShell 7 after setting it as the default task creation method in the program.

Thanks Marco!

I really appreciate you taking the time and providing testing feedback.👍👍👍

From your test I should deselect PowerShell 7 in Choice Dialog and default back to C, I think that will correct the 'selected but disabled situation'.  Great test.

I also added checks in a few other places too just in case you really go wild  , and improved messaging text. 

Nice to think outside the box!  Thanks again.

Version 2.0.1 attached.

P.S. I was testing PowerShell 7 absence just by renaming pwsh.exe - much easier than uninstall.

Update 7/17 removed attachment to conserve space.  Newer sources 2.0.2 attached further down.

Hi John,

I'm glad you found my feedback helpful. The issue has been fixed! During my testing, I found that I missed a 'Set current time' button. I think it would be helpful to have a way to reset the start time to the current time, which would be consistent with the "button" that sets the current date. Anyway, this is just a small suggestion.

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll look into adding a button (no guarantees though).
I'm in the middle of the next thing though, so it might be a bit for enhancement, as well as now testing the new 14.5

Thank you for taking this into consideration. As I said, it's just a small suggestion. I like consistency in software. But this is just a personal preference.

as well as now testing the new 14.5 

Yep, me too

Hi Marco,

Here is a version 2.0.2 that enables setting the Alert time to the current system time.  It does so without using a button, as I don't think it would be used very much, and space is limited without a significant GUI change.  The Alert time is not meant to be another system time clock. I suppose I could 'disable' scheduling unless the Alert time was changed but that seems burdensome to a user.

Right click in any open area of the controls line to set the Alert time to the current system time. 

So this may be an interim, or final solution, as I think on it more (after the next big thing  )

I hope you don't mind that I acknowledge your assistance in the help file.

Thanks,
John Z

Full project sources zip attached. Also attached 7z which is just the program and help file for those that don't want/need the sources.

Hi John,

Thank you for taking the time to implement this feature.

I hope you don't mind that I acknowledge your assistance in the help file.

No problem at all! In fact, thank you. I do the same when a user reports a bug to me regarding WinContig.
