Now, Where is that Electronic 'Cash'? -- CodeWallet Pro 2005 reviewed.

Posted by Don Tolson in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:00 AM


Getting Set Up
If you’ve never used CodeWallet before, setting up a new wallet is simple and easy. You’ll need to create new Wallet file first, then you can use the provided sample and templates to create your own, personal information organization structure.

There is plenty of flexibility in CodeWallet Pro 2005 to create as simple or complicated a tree hierarchy as makes sense for you. If you find later that you need to re-organize, there’s no problem, since card entries (or whole folders!) can be easily moved from one folder to another using tap and drag techniques.

For new users, there is also an option to import card information from a tab-delimited text file.

The suggested format is shown in the User Guide and can be easily created from most spreadsheet applications. As you proceed through the import, Pro 2005 gives you the option to accept or ignore each entry/card in the file.

Unfortunately, there isn’t an option to import files from other electronic wallet products. This is probably a good thing, since it would imply that Developer One had figured out how to ‘break’ the encryption of the other applications! :dilemma:

CodeWallet Pro 2005 also provides an ability to export the contents of your wallet (or a folder, or a single card!) to a text file, including passwords and attachments, if desired.

Developer One suggests you do this when the wallet is set up (and after significant changes), then print off the file and store the paper in a VERY SAFE place. This provides a hardcopy backup, in case something happens to your file. It sounds like a good idea, butI also store a copy of my wallet on a CF memory card and back it up frequently.
