Well the screenshot did in fact make it into evernote. I never got the text back or any email back. Still, I can buy that something went wrong with evernote. And yes, a "why?" link would be perfect. It may be something I'm doing wrong or something I could work around. That would thrill me to no end. Seriously.

Thanks for listening and sorry I was an a**... ;(

The following is an example of the problem. What/How should we deal with this?

I certainly agree with damon. Just to get something out there, don't worry about formatting it in XML.

Surely there is a log file or something.

Ideally, each connector could write its input values to the log, then output values, or an error message.

I'd say just a whatever log/error information is already there (something must be there, how could you figure out problems reported here?)

If resources is the issue, ask for volunteers. Have them sign non-disclosure contacts, you can use it or reject it. Several studies have shown that other incentives than money work better. Offer t-shirts, official recognition in the about box, free year, month or whatever when the business model is settled on or whatever it is.

There is no error report to revamp as far as I can tell. All of my workflows work sometimes and then don't and then do and then don't and then do.....

I have no idea. I've never seen a "beta" product that had NOTHING for error message. A number or something. "Not Completed" is the "error report" that is being revamped. It has made the system stunningly unreliable. You had a great idea. I'm surprised you have anymore "customers" to do your testing.

evidently no one is using this seriously, or even semi-seriously.

If the only statement is 6 six months ago, thats just pitiful.

Tim replied on February 16, 2009 20:42 to the question "Can anyone tell me how to use the textformatter connector? In particular what can go in the format field?" in tarpipe:

Not really. I have a test work flow called "test text" (see image below)

When I email it in:
From -> text1
body -> text2
subject -> format

So:
From: timgw........@x.com (fake obvoiusly but my real address when I did the test
Subject: Body is: %s and sender is: %s
Body:
My body

I got back:
from result text: My body
: Tim Waters <tim......@x.com>

So I don't understand what can be done with the formatter...Can you give a straight forward example of a formatter what will work?

Same problem with me. I'm using Yahoo.
