Hi

The last update of Hunter Touch changed the directory were the covers are stored, this change was mandatory to adapt to the updated programming guide for iCloud backups.

An iOS app have 3 main folders (official documentation and iCloud data storage):
- /Documents (this directory is stored in backups, the database of HT is saved here)
- /tmp (no backup, but system can clean it)
- /Library/Caches

Use this directory to write any application-specific support files that your application can recreate easily. Your application is generally responsible for managing the contents of this directory and for adding and deleting files as needed.
In iOS 2.2 and later, the contents of this directory are not backed up by iTunes. In addition, iTunes removes files in this directory during a full restoration of the device.

this directory seems perfect (no backup, no deleting of files).

But I’m receiving a lot of mails of users complaining of covers missing and not syncing.

It seems that iOS5 deletes the content of Caches directory when the device is low of free storage, this behavior is quite horrible because I can’t save data that I can’t backup but that system can’t delete arbitrarily. An interesting post from the creator of Instapaper.

If you’ve got missing covers of Hunter Touch please tell me how much free space you’ve got on tour device. I’ll try to figure out how to fix that.

PS: It seems that Apple is accepting Apps that ask the users if they what they’re data backuped and saved or in directory were the files can be deleted if you’re low on free space; but I don’t like this behavior.

What’s new in this version:

• changed GUI
• support fullscreen on Lion
• click of graphic to display to annotation

• Bug Fix: freeze when syncing inserted/deleted items from Hunter Touch

Hi

I’m sorry for the lack of development, I’ve got a lot of exams in next few months, so I’ve got to reduce the time dedicated of development. However I want to report a few news

Hunter Suite and Hunter Touch
I’m fixing bugs and introducing only a few new features.

Risk Probability
I’ve prepared a small update, with a new GUI to support also fullscreen on Lion. I’ll release it soon, I can’t release it now because I’ve installed Mac OS X Beta on all my Macs…

Library Hunter
The project is proceeding, slowly but is proceeding.

Mac I’m principally working on mac application. I working on a really easy update procedure from HS to LH.
iOS I’ve planned the GUI. This time I want a universal app with all features (editing included) available also on iPad.
Android I want to expand the suite and add a Android application. I’m planning a read only application that will download data from Mac using wifi.

Shopping List
The first test of iCloud sync in Library Hunter were very disappointing. To avoid integrating undocumented and buggy feature in Library Hunter I’ve created Shopping List.
This software managed multiple shopping lists synced with iCloud, maybe I’ll release the Mac and iOS app of this test project.

BugTrack
I’ve installed a web bug tracker, I want to test it for the new projects. Probably traking bug and managing feature suggestions will be easier

Greetings

• Bug Fix: Crash when a Smart-List doesn’t have a valid search rule
• Reintroduced the code to import 1.0 database

You can safely instal 1.1.18 version if you’ve got 1.0.x version, the software may seem frozen the first time you run it.

I’ve got to reinsert the code to read 1.0 database because a lot of people are still running 1.0.x version.
