General
Use Notes
MilliLock has a few convenience features, such as:
Jump
There's
no search per-se in MilliLock - that is, no way to find records with,
for example, the word "baby" in them. That may be added in
the future, but it would be extremely
slow on passwords. And due to the way lists work
in J2ME, pressing 4 (for example) does not jump to the G section of the
alphabet; that would require a custom canvas-based list that didn't fit
into my cost-benefit analysis. But you can leap to the first
entry starting with "G", or even to "Gulliver", by selecting "Jump" from the
Context menu. In the photo below, that's option #4.
On
any list, you can reach the Context menu by hitting the "Menu" key on
your phone. When you hit "Jump", a pop-up will ask for the
beginning of the desired string. If the string isn't found -
for example, you enter "Gu" but you don't have any entries starting
that way - it will stop at the entry closest - e.g. "Garry", perhaps.
Top/Middle/Bottom
Because
there's no Page Up/Down functionality - you must scroll one-by-one -
the Top, Middle and Bottom options place you in various parts of the
list. Having the horizontal arrows move by pages would be
nice, but would require the same Canvas-based custom list that doesn't
allow for smart Jump on the keypresses. Maybe in a future
release.
What's Not There
Sync
Back to P.C.
MilliLock transfers data one way right now.
This is primarily because J2ME doesn't make socket
programming, except for HTTP, very easy. Data could be sent
via HTTP Post, but then the Desktop would need to implement a server.
I considered this approach, which would work fine for my
personal use, but discarded it in favor of making it really easy for any user to
control their own accounts using a cheap commodity hosting service such
as through Go Daddy.
Configurable Import Profiles
The
CSV mappings for imports are extremely simple, but there's no way right
now to add more except in code. In a future release I may
provide a field-import editor, allowing them to easily be added.
Filter
Records
There's no way right now, on either the phone or the
Desktop, to filter out newly-modified records or records meeting some
other criteria. I may add a filter-by changed since last
export/import soon.
Sort/Search
There's
no customizable sort, nor search either, primarily because these are
time-consuming operations to run on Blowfish-encrypted data on the
phone. There is Jump, and all records are by default sorted
alphabetically.
Downloads
MilliLock may be downloaded from GetJar.com, which is a fantastic site that makes downloading to your cell phone really easy and has a lot of great applications.
