I am interested in seeing this menu/grocery planning page, however, am having difficulties opening the .zip file.

Would someone be willing to email it to me? [admin: email removed]

Thanks in advance!

The Qt date widget is a bit non-intuitive. Change the year first, then set the date. Also, you cannot set the stop date before the selected date, nor can you set t he start date after the selected date.

As to A5 pages, did you use the page setup to specify paper size ? The current version depends on available printer drivers for paper size.

As for two-up, Homey don' do dat (yet)

Problems?

Using two pages to a week v1.2i with windows XP pro.
Will not allow setting pages later than 31 dec2008. When you try it forces pages in 2007.
I am unable to produce A5 pages either as two per A4 or as individual pages.
Other than that it seems a great idea.

Done !

About the translation, you mean that you have the words & phrases for this file ? --> hxxp://www.diyplanner.com/diyp_official/diyp3cl/diyp3_core_a5.pdf

If so, i'll be glad to get those, in order to see how you translate "Docket time" (page 49) because I am not used to use that word.
Anyway, I did the translation and I am OK to upload it wherever it is good to.

I agree wholeheartedly with

I agree wholeheartedly with Evernote. It works well on both my work laptop (pc), my home laptop (mac) and on my iPhone. I can't edit files on my iPhone (yet), but I keep index cards with me for quick notes-- anything worth keeping is migrating into Evernote. For contacts, I've been using Plaxo for quite a while now. It's well worth the $50/year to keep all my contact information synced regardless of what tool is in front of me. A nice feature is that if you blow up your contacts by accident (which I have done when trying to get my old laptop ready for my sister) you can go back to the last weekly server backup and restore all of your contacts.

The translation files are a list of words and phrases.
I already have these lists.
If you register, I can then safely contact you through this site and I will be happy to provide you the list to work from.

Any answer ?

Hello Ygor,

I don't know if my two previous posts have been read or just erased by an anti-spam filter.
Anyway, i'd appreciate some answer (forum ou email).

(1) I did finish the french translation of the DIY planner v3.0 A5 core package, and I'd like to upload it. Is it possible ?
I suppose I need to be logged to do so ...

(2) Will I get any conformation of my account, because I cant login with the login + pass I created.

(3)I may create another account but I would like to prevent some spammer tagging. So I didn't dare to create a new one yet. The communication with you being quite hard (spam + no answer).

(4) As you may have found, the typo is hard coded in the DIY_Two_Page_Month_fr_FR.qm and DIY_Two_Page_Week_fr_FR.qm files.
Copy & paste from : DIY_Two_Page_Month_fr_FR.qm
2 P l a n n i f i c a t i o n m e n s u e l l e :

Copy & paste from : DIY_Two_Page_Week_fr_FR.qm
8 P l a n n i f i c a t i o n h e b d o m a d a i r e :

One n needs to be erased. Any hint of the fix date ?

Thks for your time.

Your purchase is well justified.....

Superpooky — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:49:43 -0400

Just came across this planner and really like it. Great that you can personalise it too.

Sounds like the £32 is a great investment. Say diary pages are a fiver a year, you'll have your money back pretty much by 2014 ;-)

I think any stationery item doesn't need to be justified....

Yay!

Kari — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:10:57 -0400

This looks like a perfect planner for lefties! However, I would love to see an Open Source version so I can customize the checklist and make it letter sized. Thanks!

This rocks!

Kari — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:21:17 -0400

I was just looking at a bunch of cheesy "mom planners" and trying to figure out how to just make my own (with adequate space to write menus...not to mention all of the other billion things I need to remember). Imagine my delight when I found this...and I could easily edit the files in OpenOffice. So very cool! Thank you so much!

Sorry - solved problem!

kwright — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 21:37:24 -0400

Thanks - but the simplest solution is the best - cut paper FIRST! and reduce the level of options that the printer (the apparent non-thinking part of this partnership) has to play with. I am now totally over the top with the agenda - have altered it slightly (more space in diary area, less in projects etc), added colour coding and am sadly presently putting arrows over the times when I lecture (which are the fixed points in life) - this is all so I can justify purchasing the £32 hole punch for the filofax A5 (and the new filofax!) by reducing the cost of having to buy diary inserts!

update on use of OpenOffice

kwright — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 20:05:31 -0400

Well, I have managed to install OpenOffice and opened the AgendaPerso_GTD_en file in - then changed the date as prompted to get the first four weeks that I want - so am feeling slightly proud of myself. However, as a newbie, I am getting confused with how to print on both sides - am using the A5 format - do I print out the odd pages first, turn over and then print out the evens?

Will have a play - should be doing some work but this seems like a better thing to do.

reiterate request for 2009!

kwright — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 18:00:08 -0400

Dear Emmanuel

PLEASE can I repeat the request for the 2009 calendar in English - am about to download openoffice and try to make it myself but.....

LOVE IT! but.....

Thanks for the hard work!!!! You've saved a lot of people a lot of time!
