Here some changes:

• [FIX] Nicknames were not properly imported by from Sync Server and it was impossible to substitute in event title
• [FIX] Target calendar change is now saved
• [FIX] Event title changes are properly saved
• [FIX] Alarm icon column is no more bound to “data” binding (“value” is now used: no more warning in your console about this deprecated construct)
• [NEW] Agent deactivation removes application data file
• [NEW] Deactivate button is now disabled when a fresh-sync is issued
• [NEW] Added the new specifier “%yp” (equal to %y minus 1)

Here what must still be implemented:

• Software autoupdate

I’d like to thank all of you for your bug report and support.

DZSelectableBox is a subclass of NSBox view which emulates this behavior. An instance of this class comes with one more variable member, the box state: when the box is marked as selected, an inner rounded path is drawn inside its bounds; DZSelectableBox honors title position, if it’s visible. You can use this class in two different manners: standalone or as part of a radio group.

Standalone version

A standalone box works as described before: the only thing you’ve to do is open Interface Builder, place a common NSBox in your window, change its class name into DZSelectableBox and start using it.
You can change box state programmatically by using the toggleState message, the setSelected method to set its state or simply by clicking on it.

Radio group version

Whenever you need a group of boxes and the opportunity to select only one of them at time, you’ve to set a radio group; after you followed the steps described before to create your boxes, you’ve to add the following sample code to your application:

leftBox.radioGroup = [NSNumber numberWithInt:1]; 
rightBox.radioGroup = [NSNumber numberWithInt:1]; 
[leftBox setSelected:YES]; 
[rightBox setSelected:NO];

(we suppose you created two boxes and connected them to two outlets called leftBox and rightBox)

When a box belongs to a radio group, it listens for group changes notification: for example, if you select the right box (by clicking on it), the left one will be automatically unselected.

Where can I download the code?

Some months ago I found another way to sync our events with iCal, which doesn’t need manual operation; I quickly wrote a new version, tested and it seems to be stable and functional, but it misses graphical interface like the previous alpha 9.
This version appears as a preference pane and installs a sync-agent which is automatically alerted by the operative system about changes to your address book.

I attach this new version: of course the two YABI should not coexist (they don’t share any data, but it’s advisable not to run both).
To install it, simply double-click on the icon; customize your preferences, activate it and after few seconds events will appear in your iCal (a simple set of settings will be automatically set up at first start-up).
To uninstall, simply right-click on the preference pane and select “remove”.
