but i have a simple request, i'm trying to gain weight, and the trend tool shows colours fine (yellow for moderately underweight) but for everything else it says weightgain is bad, and i'm eating too many calories.
i hope it's not too difficult, but could you implement a "gain" or "lose" switch?
would make this app less demoralising/confusing for those trying to gain weight :P
oh, and the method for seeing your log is very confusing. would you be able to implement a "see log" button underneath your selected month rather then having to press the back button?
(in people's minds, that should take them back to the homescreen)
thanks!
Thanks for the suggestions. I have made the changes that you recommended above, and have uploaded the new version to Extras-Devel.
Good work, nice to have a native implementation of the Hacker's Diet.
However, this program crashed for me on entering my weight on the third day, ie the third value. It now also hangs on start-up.
I think I'm running the latest version - there was one update via application manager, which I installed.
Cheers.
Thanks for the bug report. I'm sorry it isn't working for you, and I'll try to fix the problem. Could I get you to email me the files .maeFat/settings and .maeFat/data ? If I have those files, I should be able to get my version to crash in the way yours does, and fix it more quickly. My address is orrery.moko@gmail.com.
I took a look at the data file. Not much to see, as only three time/weight entries.
However, the time given for the third entry was 6:60! (The reading was actually taken before 7am).
Changing this to 6:59 means that the program now starts up fine.
Cheers.
OK, I'll put in a trap for that, and upload a fixed version this evening. I get my times from a Hildon time widget - I wonder if the widget itself has a bug. Anyway, sounds like an easy thing to fix. Thanks for the report.
Ken, I would like to thank you for your great work.
Maefat helped me control my weight before my wedding and despite I didn't reach my target (it was a very hard mission!) I lost about 4kg in 3 months, which was a great result
I use maefat now to maintain my status (and hopefully lose some other kilos ) and I want to donate a little sum to thank you, can you point me at a Paypal account or something similar?
Thank you, bye!
