Doesnt seem to be working for Ubuntu 12.04 keep getting this when trying to extract

Archive: /home/ryan/Desktop/t/T_App/MyTarantulas.exe
[/home/ryan/Desktop/t/T_App/MyTarantulas.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/ryan/Desktop/t/T_App/MyTarantulas.exe or

and apparently Ubuntu 12.04 comes with tht mono program

Ok i think everyone just pause on the beta testing. I my self have not tested it yet and i think there is lots to do still. Until further notice please do not test

Haha, I have to agree with Dimitri, I may have been a tad bit hasty due to my excitement of getting this project off the ground again.

We'll keep you guys posted on the progress.

Hi Guys,

Great initiative!
I haven't tried it out yet myself, but going by the comments, looks like there are some platform issues to sort out first.

Thats what my thoughts/suggestions are about - Platforms
I'm also a Java, Flash and Web developer and I've also been tossing around the idea to create a mobile app.

Disclaimer : These are just my opinions, so feel free to ignore them

Firstly, the .NET platform is notorious for having issues on a system level even if the application itself is fine.
I've also, in my experience at work, found that even though its meant to be backwards compatible, there are cases where thats not always the case, which results in bad User experience even though the app is fine.

Secondly, using .NET (to my knowledge) restricts use of the application to Windows only (or *nix with Win32 emulation), which isnt ideal.

My suggestion is to consider the use of HTML5 and/or Flash (if you use AIR, you can package the same application for Windows, Web, Android, iOS) :
help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011...2cc36970aa-8000.html

With specific regard to mobile development, I've found that for my personal apps, developing in Android is great, but limited to Android, but using HTML5 you can create offline apps that look and behave (for the most part) the same on all devices.
(HTML 5 spec includes offline storage of assets including video and audio and SQL Lite database usage).

Trsut me, I know its never as easy as saying "Okay, lets do it that way", but perhaps you want to consider these points because if you're going to put a lot of effort into the app, it would be great to have as large a user-base as possible.

Thanks for the hard work !
:happy:

Valid points, but from the event log and feedback I was able to find the problem. The App saved the absolute path of the database file (sdf) instead of the relative path. iow, it was looking for C:\directory1\directory1\...\Data.sdf and not just Data.sdf.

I changed it and tested and it working fine now, but we decided to hold the app back for now since we want to make some big changes and give you guys a much more polished version to test. This would avoid a constant back & forth and allow us more time to add the stuff we want.

ATM the app is far from what we ultimately want it to be. When we get close to that point, we'll discuss handing it to you guys so you can put it through its paces.

As a side note, I would like some feedback from you guys on an idea I had. Would you like a feeding schedule? Say you feed your Ts every 2 weeks, but you have so much Ts, that you split them in 2 groups. so each week, one group gets fed. When you start up the app, would you like a popup reminder on which Ts are due for a feeding? (I constantly loose track of this)

I'd say make it as feature rich as is practical with user enabling/disabling the content to suit their specific needs.

I know you're not calling for general input, but what I find lacking in the other products available is visual interpretation of the data and data feedback in general.
Seeing molt intervals and size increase on a graph, and the ability to compare data from two (or more) of my T's would be fun as well as informative.
