-
- This little utility is usefull to remove double data from your standard applications
- like DateBook, Address, ToDoList, MemoPad. These double datarecords often appear, using
- EasySync.
-
- How to use
-
- After starting up, the program will show you an Alert with a introducing window. You
- may either press the OK-Button or you push the "i" for further information. Now you will
- find yourself on the mainpage of "1 of Us".
- You have to mark the databases which you want "1 of Us" to work on by clicking onto the
- checkboxes. ( Another Possibility is to use the button "Mark All!")
- After pushing the "RUN"-button the program begins to work. At first it will only search
- the selected databases for double data records. This may take a while. How long it takes
- depends on the size of the database. Big Databases whith thousands of records may take
- a few hours to be done. You always have the possibility to cancel the search process by
- pressing the "Cancel"-button.
- The progress of the search will be displayed by a progressbar and the amount in
- percentage.
- You have to know, that this bar will be accelerated in time. ( 50% of the progressbar
- means that the algorithm has checked 50% of the records on the other hand that means
- that the rest will be compared faster, because the last 50% of data hasn't to be
- compared to the first 50% anymore)
- After finishing the search "1 of Us" will ask you ( for every single database) if you
- want to mark the found double records. This doesn't mean that "1 of Us" really will
- delete them.
- For the 3 applications Address, ToDoList and MemoPad it means that these double records
- will be moved to a special category called 1ofUs. Now you can use your standard
- applications to examine the records, to move them back to another category or to delete
- these records manually. If you want to get rid of all the double data records you may
- use the menu delete to remove the whole category 1ofUs with all its contents.
- An exception is the application DateBook. This application doesn't know categories. If
- you mark these records it means that those will be copied to a special database. You now
- can use the entry DateBook in the menu "delete" to handle the double data. There will be
- a table which shows you all the double entrys by date, time and description. Then you
- may select single records ( or use "Mark All"). There are two buttons: One is to delete
- these records finally. The other is to restore them to the DateBook.
- If you have marked some records without deleting or restoring all of them afterwards,
- and if you have marked newly created double data later by "1 of Us", there will be
- several "Sessions" of records to delete. These sessions are selectable in a combobox at
- the top right corner where date and time of the session is shown.
