Plus, they do not offer a trial version. The trial version of v6 was a cutdown free version which did not make sense to me at all.

The thing I do not understand about mailstore is that the indexing or importing. Do I need to do this manually? I mean do I need to download emails to thunderbird and then import into mail store everytime? It sounds like it does make no sense??

Right for privacy is not a matter of paranoia, it is a very basic human right. And anyone who does not ask for it will never get it in modern societies. In that context I demand for my own privacy and rights. I am not paranoid I understand technology and what can be done with it. My pretext is that privacy is like many other rights is matter of respect and a matter basic rights. Because we have already lost does not mean that I should give up demanding and keep myself uninformed about the consequences of loss of such rights.

I use pop peeper for checking my emails
launchy for sending quick emails
thunderbird for downloading my all emails and sending-replying to serious emails (things like business)

I am old schooler I guess, the bigger gmail or yahoo mail becomes the more I go the otherway. I also have serious concerns about privacy policies of those companies. There are some very vague lines in their privacy statements. And remember "nothing" is free even thou you think you are getting it for free.

Windows Desktop Search  cannot even search outlook express contacts or thunderbird emails, kind of useless for me. I uninstalled it from my machine also because it runs all the time. It was not like you could disable it like copernic

General Software Discussion / any program that can accomplish os task via email?

« on: March 25, 2008, 01:19 PM »

I am looking for an automation program that can check certain email account and emails and follow the script or order in that email to perform certain tasks. It would be best if it has large task-command selection and custom script support.

Armando thanks for the answer. I asked for reiteration because within my test database( that was based on sample database) that idea(ticking in properties pane)  was not working so I got confused about it. I tried refreshing as well. But opening a new databae solved my problem, I could actually use the available fields to assign multiple grids. However I need to refresh to see it in the grid

thanks again.

I understand how it works. I just did not understand how to do that in Sqlnotes. His steps were not clear to me. Is he talking about "available fields"?

Thanks guys, I will try to use SqlN Mantis more often to report.


Armando can you please explain this one little more please  ?
"select the items you want to associate with another grid and tick the right fields (corresponding to the grid's source) in the properties pane."

I understand that it would normally create a duplicate of the item with different ID. However that is not very user friendly no matter what the technical explanation is. So my suggestion is that when someone press ctrl-c or edit-copy Sqlnotes should ask user if user is trying to clone or duplicate. As a user I do not want to go through mazes of search grids, grid list to assosiate my items to views. Copying and pasting is a quite a legitimate way to instance an item in my view. I love dragging an item to grid tab to assosiate but that has limited use if most of the grids are not visible on tab area.

different grids. Using copy/paste would achieve something completely different : duplication of items, but independent, with different ID numbers. But you can ignore all that if you already understand.)

Armando, I could not solve it. It does not paste properly and refreshing does not help me. I am using the version from march 19. I tried this on sample.sndb

here is the kind of error message it is giving as well.

" 3/24/2008 6:53:58 PM   -2147217887   3   cmdbar_Execute>Item_Save>Item_SaveValues   3/24/2008 6:53:58 PM   -2147217887   Field cannot be updated.(l=0)   cmdbar_Execute   Item_Save   Item_SaveValues "

I'm not questioning your expertise. JUst trying my best to explain...

I didn't say NO need for copy/paste. Not at all.

What I said is just this : copy/paste is not the same as dragging and dropping (And Like I also said : copy/paste is still in development). (And : actually, if you want to mirror/associate items to unopened grids, the fastest way is to tick the appropriate fields. That way you can associate 1000000s of items at once with different grids. Using copy/paste would achieve something completely different : duplication of items, but independent, with different ID numbers. But you can ignore all that if you already understand.)

But you didn't say if you solved your copy/paste problems

You said

created my item with ctrl alt n. I added some features like contact, dates etc. I copied as xml format. When I paste it to another grid none of those values comes with. In fact it does not paste.

-kartal (March 24, 2008, 03:28 PM)

Did you solve that?
Normally copy/paste should work : all values are copied, unless you copy the item in another database (within the limits mentioned in my previous post --> related to automatic grid assignation); in that case, non existing fields won't be automatically created.

Armando I used Ecco before, I understand all the concepts related to Sqlnotes. I am not having conceptual isues with Sqlnotes at all. It has great ideas and starting to be a robust tool.

I also understand what you are saying about no need for copy paste but copy paste is possibly the fastest way to carry data sometimes. I tried dragging, it works but it is not the fastest way if you want to paste into unopened grids.

Based on my limited use of Sql notes these are the most important suggestions

-Autocompletion based on previously created items and auto property transfer. At least it could have made things easier.
-Streamlined copy paste. Since Sqlnotes has ideas based on Ecco, I would expect it to copy-paste at least as good as Ecco does.
-Faster grid views (this is the main drawback for me)

Armando thanks for the tip

However I am having major issues with copy pasting items from one grid to another. I will tell you that I have used hundreds of programs(including Ecco and other pims), and I use high level 3d softwares. So it is not like I do not understand a simple function like copy paste.
 
I created my item with ctrl alt n. I added some features like contact, dates etc. I copied as xml format. When I paste it to another grid none of those values comes with. In fact it does not paste.  In Ecco simple copy paste carries the cell values as well, unless you are in edit mode and copying the plain text. It looks like it is copying all the values but pasting is either not working or is an awkward way. I am all for Sqlnotes as a previous Ecco user. But this does not feel right.

Is it possible to create an item without typing it anywhere? I am using wikipad for my notes(which is faboulous tool), and in Wikipad I can just press ctrl+o and type title of my note, if there is a note about it it would open the file, if it there is no such note it will create a new one and I will type the necesssary information in it. These kinds of notes are unlinked to anything but I can call them anytime I need(by just using autocompletion and wiki tags). I was wondering if that is possible to do it in Sqlnotes on the fly like Wikipad.

Copying pasting item lines does not carry data fields?

I just type something
change some values like addind gtd, changing font size etc
then I copy the line and paste to another item
values like gtd, font size etc are not copied?

I know csv but I hate it, it is a last resort and sometimes translating data from one app to another is very painful with csv if you have little more data than just name and phone number. So I personally think that native import-export support is a preferred method.  I just started using essentialpim contact manager just because it supports import export.
