You're using Shadow handheld-only?

It doesn't need a sync to register; you just need to enter your
registration code into it, to register it; if you want to register the
desktop side, thats when youneed a sync (and in this case, a trick.)

Make sure that you put in your correct hotsync ID into StyleTap,
so that your Shadow regcode will work.

If you do want to register the desktop-side, then email me direct
and I'll let you know how we can progress on that.

Theres a couple outliners on the Palm Pre; as I don't have a Palm
Pre outliner available, I've been trying to help with folks who're using
these guys.

One such outliner is Outline Tracker:

Doug, who builds that tool, is a good fella; he's provided a
couple Shadow Plan export templates for Shadow Desktop, that assist
importing into Outline Tracker.

I've put the two template files up on this page:

See the XOXO export link; one template exports using start date,
the other exports target date.

Hi,

I'm a die-hard Shadow Plan user and have been for the past five years or so. I still run SP on my Palm Tungsten and it's doing great. Couldn't live without it.

I've just upgraded my desktop and I want to transfer my SP files to the new system. The last time I did this a few years ago, I lost everything. If I remember correctly, I had both the desktop and palm working okay, but if they would sync, they'd blow out the tags, which I use extensively.

So, to avoid the same problems this time around, could you give me the step by step process on how to do it?

Thanks much!

Russ

Same question here, I've used Shadow each summer for a couple of months to collect data -- on a Clie (TH55 recently)-- on a wildland fire restoration project that goes back 18 years.

This year, trying to boot Shadow in OSX, it just crashes repeatedly. (Intel Mini, 10.6.3). I gather Shadow's

I had trouble with it on the Clie too -- bought it a second time in fact, never got the second copy to even register because the checkout software got the Palm user name wrong! Arrgh.

So I've finally loaded an old backup file from my old Powerbook to my Clie.

Do I dare use Shadow in the field for 3 weeks and come home and try to figure out what to do? I'm baffled, this was just a little item on my big checklist for the job and now it's a time sink.

Is there a reliable way to move from the Clie to some other application that runs under OSX on the Intel Mini, and keep working on the Clie? Do I need to buy a different handheld and some other app?

In about 2 weeks, I go to the woods. I'm afraid I'll be taking paper printouts and a pencil with me this time and have a mess to sort out when I get back. Rrrrrrgh. Help?
