Point Motivator / Re: Suggestions

« Last post by Contro on May 19, 2012, 04:34 PM »

Hi,

I just recently stumbled in - I found a link to Point Motivator at LifeHacker.

So far the applications works just fine. But after some play, I think the following function would be helpful:

- Track point in different categories (e.g. if I want to track my progress in working out and reading). I know, you can change xml, but this a bit to much of a fuss.

- Set goals (e.g. x points a week). I think the setting of goals is an essential part of motivation.

I would like to discuss those points.

Cheers, F.

Perhaps.
I have examined various goals software.
You have accomplish.
With Point Motivator you have not that duty

Is more flexible. Give more liberty.

I am not thinking exactly Point Motivator like a self help program.
Mostly like a control program of certain mode of activation or activities.
But I suppose that all is rounding the same goals (Excuse my english)
I have used for years Pop Wisdom adapted as a memory program. So perhaps I am not the ideal person to take an opinion.

I don't observ this problem now.
In a first intention I lose configuration
Open mydiarylog.logxml when I have selected my profile.
But this may be for my prior problems with the program.
Really I don't understand this poor sister in the great Mouser's family software.
But I can wait.
And I can help to serve as rabbit for proofs.

The points are not the only important thing to me.
My idea is an interactive check list.
But no need to check, only revise and count.
The point are a graphical result.

I am installing PointMotivator as a portable app. over my disk Y:

· [minor feature] Added recent files menu to Item Definition Editor.

It seems that the new profile have access to the prior categories, but the itemxml don't contain.

Reload and Rescan all item definition files seems oriented to collects all categories from the different profiles.
There is a module to clone a item.
The program seems complicated.
In the help I think that the example file is common to all. And my profile is only for me.
From any profile the general categories are accesible and modificable.

Are the categories common to all profiles ?

I got delete the item in the editor, not directly.

I put screenshots :

The first try to solve the problem about no interaction I move the files according to the instructions given, but I don't get the editor correct.
Just now hardly remember but I think have to do special manipulation.
When I create the new profile pepe.05.2012 the only thing created was the log file, not the new profile.
And when try to save the initial intention is save the log file, not the profile.
So I have to rename the extension to get the target.
I'll try with the help to understand what i am doing bad now, and in 2008.

One error I detected was :
*** JOSE ***  September 16, 2008 at  4:27pm

May be the reason ?

« Last post by Contro on May 19, 2012, 01:22 PM »

I am not sure.
I put several screenshots. Sometimes the program obey, others no.
I would like to know the reason.
My system windows xp pro sp3 spanish version.
Best REgards

I think I solved but I don't know why or how.

I move the files from the folder UserItemDefs to another place.
The problem continues
I don't understand why if I open a new created file continues the example files with categories and points definition.

And i can't modify or delete an item.

What am I doing wrong ?

Best Regards

I will try by myself first. I had this soft downloaded some time ago. Now I think is the ideal one, but perhaps a little difficult for me. I will try harder.
The first move is download the last version from Mouser.

Another category is the projects software.
But deals with the phases to be necessary finished. And in this case there is other general intention so that category don't go well.

Well.
Until the moment the only filon I have found in the same relation with auto help is the goals software category.
Monitoring software and check point software usually leave my in categories for IT experts.
I will inform if I get something in the field of auto help configurable enough for general purposes.
