I'm also getting the same error "Sorry, an unexpected error occurred" at the end of the "Converting..." phase.

It's a 22MB JPG file, 15324x6664 (~100MP)

Any ideas what went wrong? Is it my image? Should I convert it to another format?

Zeno reported a problem in Ballpark on September 04, 2009 06:40:

Bugs with the "Expenses" kind

The "Expenses" kind is not available in the dropdown menu when creating a new invoice. But if I save and then re-edit that same invoice, "Expenses" shows up in the dropdown.

The other bug is that when chosing this kind, the invoice layout breaks (because you don't display "Expenses" in the Kind column of the invoice)

Thanks for adding CHF support...

Zeno replied on September 03, 2009 08:26 to the problem "Why can't I assign decimal values for Tax?" in Ballpark:

Hi Billy, thanks,
it seems to work in the Settings -> Defaults section (I set it to 7.6%, which is the tax rate here in Switzerland)
BUT it doesn't actually work when creating the Invoice: when I press the Create Invoice button, the rate is transformed to 8.0% ...

Are you sure this has been fixed? Right now I'm not able to set a tax rate with decimal values under Settings -> Defaults. Any ideas?

Currency support: Swiss franc?

Hi,

I'm in the process of signing up for a Ballpark plan, but my company is based in Switzerland and I won't be able to really use Ballpark until you add support for Swiss Francs currency...

... any chance you'll do that?

thx very much
Zeno

mixininfo at gmail.com no more valid?

The email address reported in http://www.mixin.com/pages/about/ (Contact mixin section)

doesn't seem to be valid anymore...

More info about selected fish/user...

Hey guys! Congrats for the alpha launch!

Here is a couple of features I'd love to have to increase the user experience (I'm sure you pretty much already have them all in your "todo" list, but anyway...)

When I click on a fish, I'd like to be able to get more info about the selected user than just his/her last tweet. In particular:

- a link to go to the user page or a way to see his/her recents tweets (and not just the last one)

- a way to immediately see a few more user details (typically his twitter bio, location and links), without leaving the context I'm in (without switching away from the page I'm currently in)

Then, if you have the above features, it'd naturally make sense to add the "Follow" button to directly start following that user from minsh

thx!

Tested.
It works beautifully.
I could finally turn off the "Show names" setting :-)

This is brilliant Matt!
Thanks!

Zeno replied on November 11, 2008 13:22 to the idea "Faster startup?" in Instinctive Code:

Yes of course, I updated to 1.0.3 this morning... and it launches faster, cool!
I've now turned on the "Show names" option... to "give a name" to the silhouettes ;-)

This is totally awesome.
Thanks Matt!

Faster startup?

Your app is great, thanks Matt!

The major issue I'm seeing is the fact that I have to wait 3-4 seconds for the app to launch.

Although the blue-star-on-black-background splashscreen looks stylish, I'd suggest (if technically possible) to open up as fast as possible the grid view with generic avatars ("silhouettes") and then having the real pictures replacing the silhouettes afterwards but in the mean time, impatient users could touch a generic avatar to fire the phone call even if the picture has not yet loaded.... I don't know if you see what I mean
