I like the changes but the font is a tad to big. I'd shrink it a little for messages (not contacts). I'd suggest maybe adding a way to save messages/SMS too from DC? For example, if say a friend texted you directions or a number and you wanted to see it later. Or have a way to save all temp. But i guess quickclip can do that too
If you don't want to do that then i guess make texts copy and pastable. or highlightable.
I'll install the deval version soon. But DC doesn't need to be left running after it sets up notifications right? Alarmd takes care of the checking and notifying?
That is correct, the only role Dialcentral plays in notifications is for configuring them
I have notifications for voicemail and sms checked. Sent an sms from my wifes phone waited 10 min no notification. Launched DC no notification until i 2x clicked on messages. Command line is fine. Let me know what you need.
A previous post of mine has the different command line apps you can run
I'd suggest first printing the alarm info to confirm its configured. Another way of doing this is looking at "/var/lib/alarmd/alarmd_queue.xml".
Check "~/.dialcentral" to see if there are ".json" files in that directory. Those contain the information used to determine if the user should be notified. Are there both ".json" and ".old.json" files?
Try running the notifier manually. See if it gives any errors or if it seems to update the ".json" files.

I think this is a reasonable idea. If you could please add it to the feature requests I'd appreciate it. It makes it easier for me to track conversations related to a specific feature and it allows you to better track my progress and give feedback on what I'm doing
I agree, the recent tab is a little much. You have minutes and hours showing again. You had it shortened to M,H and D...fit much better. I had it tweaked before so that just the name of the person was the larger font (1.5) not the time, miss/received text. I found it to fit nearly all my contacts that way.
I do love the new messages interface fits nicely.
I do think that having the contacts a little larger would be beneficial ( at least in my eyes/thumbs)
epage thanks for the help. I ran the commands, checked alarm_queue, checked the json files. Everything checked out good. Looked like it should be working.
User Error strikes again. At some point I had turned off LED notification for instant messages and missed calls. Enabled that in the display control panel, LED started blinking right away.
Epage I updated and now it doesn't work. When I start the program it tries to login and then has an issue.
