- The eBay Assistant v.005 Beta
- Note: Always check 'Things to Come' at bottom for fixes/enhancements in progress.
-
- CHANGES FROM V.004 Beta
-
- When updating items in the item list, the Item List menu options to
- update and delete are now disabled.
-
- Enabled bid posting for autobid.
-
-
-
- CHANGES FROM V.003 Beta
-
- Saved Search list now shows the searches that were saved so they can be run.
-
- Fixed a bug where if you set the 'Auto Update items on startup' option set, an
- error would occur on startup.
-
-
-
- CHANGES FROM V.002 Beta
-
- Main and Item View window positions and sizes now get saved upon program exit and
- restored upon program start.
-
- The column widths of the item grid now get saved.
-
- Fixed that annoying bug where when you clear the 'Auction End Config' number of
- seconds, a 1 would appear in the edit box.
-
- Fixed a bug where setting the 'Goto eBay on startup' option would hang the program.
-
- Fixed a bug where items that had already had their end of auction action performed
- would reperform the action whenever the item list was refreshed or when the program
- started up if the auction for the item hadn't expired and the action time is met.
- This involved saving a flag with the item called 'triggered'. When set to true,
- the clock watcher will ignore the item when it's action time is met. If you
- click the 'save' button on the 'Auction End Config', this flag will be reset to false.
- The triggered flag is set to true by the program when after the end of auction action
- is performed.
-
- When updating a finished auction on the item list, the program now correctly saves
- the item's bid instead of reporting a current price of '0'.
-
- Fixed a bug where after bidding on an item, and error occured when the browser left the
- page for the item.
-
- Fixed a bug where the program returned an error even though you won the bid... (oops).
-
- I think I solved the copy/paste/tab problem in the browser. Should be able to do it now
- but you can't copy until after the page is fully loaded.
-
-
-
- CHANGES FROM V.1 Beta
-
- Changed the versioning to .### rather than .#. I felt that there's a _slim_ chance that
- I'll need more than 9 revisions before release. :-)
-
- When the 'End of Auction Config' time setting has been reached, and the browser brings
- up the item, the browser refreshes to ensure that you're seeing current data on the
- View screen. This current data may not cooincide with your saved data if you hadn't
- enabled the 'Update item before autobidding' option on the settings screen.
-
- Fixed a bug where 'Auto Bid' confirmation would keep popping up when moving between
- items on the item list on the Item View window. Confirmation now appears only when
- you click 'save' button on the 'Auction End Config' rather than when you check the
- 'Post bid of' radio button.
-
- Changed the Item Update routine such that an Item list re-sort only happens after a
- full iteration of updating rather than re-sorting after each item is updated.
-
- Fixed a bug where after updating item list, the main form's 'Bid amt' didn't reflect min
- bid nor did the Item View window's 'Auto bid post of' value.
-
- Fixed a bug where a bid failure reported successful on certain occasions.
-
- Made key retrieval or bid posting failure errors more descriptive.
-
- When a the timer counts down to '0 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Mins, 0 Secs', 'Auction has ended'
- appears on the status bar.
-
-
-
- CHANGES FROM V1.0b:
-
- Program converted to Beta mode. Registration not required.
-
-
-
- CHANGES FROM V1.0a:
-
- Added a new feature. Save Search. See README.TXT on how to use it.
-
- Fixed a bug with Item AutoUpdate where local system time rather than eBay time was being
- used to determine item status.
-
- Added confirmation window for when 'AutoBid' is selected on 'Auction End Config'.
-
- Fixed a Bug where the item index got messed up if you saved the 'end of auction action'
- settings on the item view window.
-
- Fixed a bug on the Saved Items window where after sorting the list, the item on the list
- would become selected rather than the last item the user had selected.
-
- Added color to the Items List where the font of the Time Ends field turns red when the
- auction for that item is within an hour of ending and the cell turns red when the auction
- is about to end. That is to say, when the predetermined time before end of auction has
- been met.
-
-
-
- CHANGES FROM V1.0:
-
- Fixed a bug where the 'seconds before auction ends' and 'bid amount' values on the view
- screen weren't appearing.
-
- Fixed a bug where the Item AutoUpdate wasn't updating the 'Auction End Config' values
- resulting in nasty errors upon startup when the 'AutoUpdate Item List on startup'
- option was selected.
-
- Moved auction end date and current bid price to the list portion on the Item View Screen.
-
- Updated the 'About' screen to reflect the web page and e-mail changes.
-
-
-
- THINGS TO COME:
-
- - Occasionally, the browser seems to lock up when a browser request initiated by
- the program is interrupted by a browser request initiated from within
- the browser. I'm looking into this. This includes situations where the browser
- is attempting to retrieve a search and a auction end alert occurs, for example.
-
- - Option to filter the Item List by 'All Items', 'Completed Auctions: Won',
- 'Completed Auctions: Lost', and 'Active Items Only'.
-
- - Option to display 'End Time' in local time rather than eBay time.
-
- - Some Item List color changes.
-
- - Currently, I'm experiencing a bug that gives a 'Runtime 216' error when closing the
- program. I'm having difficulty finding the cause. Just so you know I'm looking at it.
-
- - Modify 'Search Save' feature to allow user to save any page, not just searches.
-
- - Countdown on the Items List.
-
- - Context Sensitive Help?
-
- - AutoDialer
-
- - Item Save queue so there isn't an interruption when saving item information.
-
- - What do YOU want it to do?
-
- Thanks for the new ideas and keep 'em coming. :-)
