Troubleshooting

When in doubt, here are some tips to help you:

1. Don't use Google Chrome (at least, at present it seems to be modifying the CSV files)
2. If both Membership.csv and Directory.csv are present, only Membership.csv will be used.
3. Disconnect your phone from the computer before you import (okay, it's possible to import with the computer connected, but it's easier to just say unplug it. When it doubt, unplug).


The user base for this app is really growing and some of you are becoming increasingly proficient. So, that said, am I missing anything? Post your tips in the comments.

0.2.0 - Sharing

The new release comes with a few new features, namely the ability to share phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses. I should note that with this ease of use we should not forget that this data is to be used for church purposes only. This feature was suggested by a user, but I will use it frequently, as a frequently get emails/texts from bishopric members asking for contact info.

So, the power is now yours, use it wisely. And enjoy!

Coming soon...

This is just an update to inform you that there is a new version coming. It's a minor release, but adds a new feature suggested by one of you that I think is a fabulous idea. The new version will allow you to long click contact data on the family details page and give you the option of sending that data to any app that will take it.

Why would you want this? I frequently get texts and emails from bishopric members asking for phone numbers. This will allow you to long click a number and send an email or SMS with part or all of the contact data. Copy is also available.

This was not my idea, but I think it is a great one and will be using it frequently.

Look for it soon. The code is done but it needs some testing.

Google Chrome

There have been some reports of the Google Chrome browser interfering with the CSV file creation from the LDS website. When Chrome is used, some of the quotation marks are striped from the file which causes a problem on import. The quotation marks are needed, especially when names and addresses contain commas.

I find it rather ironic that the Google powered browser is causing issues for an app targeted toward a Google powered phone.

0.1.2 - some small fixes

This change will apply to a small part of you. When a birthday was missing, there was a failure on import.

I also increased the size of the names on the Family screen as some reported difficulty in selecting the desired person.

As always, thanks for your feedback with any issues you find.

0.1.1 - a few bug fixes

This new release should fix problems that a few of you have been experiencing, including the following:

- Last names that include spaces did not import correctly
- Family member list did not always sort properly
- Various failures when importing Directory.csv


Also, props to those who spoke up about the issues they were experiencing. For any out there that are experiencing bugs, please let me know. I can't fix them if I don't know about them. ;-) Thanks!

0.1.0 - First minor upgrade

This version of the app brings a few exciting features. Here's the list:

- Removed refresh button - this was unnecessary
- Add help screen - from the main list, choose menu, then click help to see the help context.
- The image naming structure was revamped. The new structure saves family photos in the family folder, using the naming scheme of lastname_husbandname_spousename.jpg. Indviduals photos are stored in the individual folder with the naming scheme being lastname_firstname_middlename.jpg. If you take photos using an external source, you can paste them into these folder and they will automatically be picked up.
- Add email to the Contact tab
- Set the person window to only show in the case of MLS data (since there is really nothing to show there)
- Change main list to include spouse name
- Add option to import from Online website

I hope these features make the app more useful and applicable for a broader audience. As always, I'd love to hear your feedback.
