FAQ

What does "GuruGuru" mean?

"GuruGuru" means the sound your stomach sounds when you are hungry in Japanese.
For originally this palmware was made to manage database of evaluations of restraunt, it's named as so.
And "GuruGuru" also means spiral form in Japanese. A radar chart seems like spriral, doesn't it? ;-)

Can I edit icons for categories?

Icon databases for GuruGuru and for Agendus have same format.
So Icon databases for Guru2 is editable by Icon editors for Agendus.
I'm using IconManager. This palmware is so cool.

Back

Can I import a database to PC?

In database info form set back up check box on and database files are backuped on HotSync.
<database name>GurU.pdb is a database file. <database name>GrIc.prc is a icon data file.

These is no way to convert a data file to common format, such as CSV, now.
I plan to develop a coduit and desktop software for GuruGuru.

Back

Can I export a database on PC to GuruGuru?

There is a little complicated way.
At first convert csv format data to GuruGuru v2.1.4 format using GuruGuruConverter.
GuruGuruConverter is windows software.I'm afraid that it is Japanese version.
Then, convert GuruGuru v2.1.4 database to GuruGuru Ver.3.0 database with Guru2Converter.prc
Read manuals for each software for more detail.
Back

Can I destribute my database?

You can dstribute your databases freely.
When you destribute icon data also, pay attension to Copyright of icon data.
You can re-dstribute Icons datas in Icons-Guru if you dstribute them with your GuruGuru database.
