It only processes birthdays that are in the card file.
You can revert to the old method (Avi's), i.e. reading the Dates
application by adding a slot 'useBirthdaysAviMethod and setting it at
true to the preferences.
If you don't have a soup editor, you can do that with this NewtonScript code.
begin
local frame thePrefs := GetAppPrefs('|Avi's Backdrop:AviD|, nil);
if (thePrefs) then
begin
thePrefs.useBirthdaysAviMethod := true;
EntryChangeXmit(thePrefs, '|Little script|);
PlaySound(@102);
end else GetRoot():Notify(3, "Little script", "Avi's BD prefs
couldn't be found");
end;
You can revert to the previous method like this:
begin
local frame thePrefs := GetAppPrefs('|Avi's Backdrop:AviD|, nil);
if (thePrefs) then
begin
RemoveSlot(thePrefs, 'useBirthdaysAviMethod);
EntryChangeXmit(thePrefs, '|Little script|);
PlaySound(@102);
end else GetRoot():Notify(3, "Little script", "Avi's BD prefs
couldn't be found");
end;
This is untested.
