The shift key to edit name doesn't work for me. :(
-CleverCat (October 26, 2007, 01:32 AM)
It did for me the first time then seems to have stopped. Strange.   :tellme:
-BigJim (October 26, 2007, 07:47 AM)

It works perfectly well for me. I 1- right click on a file, 2- go to the "send to" sub-menu, 3- press shift and left click (while pressing shift) on Filenany OR , 1- right click on a file name to trigger the context menu, 2- press shift and left click (while pressing shift) on the “FileNanny this” option. A window then pops up allowing me to edit the name. Works all the time.

shutting it down might be a bit radical, and the "worst case scenario to just mark it as not being updated" is, well, much more acceptable.  :)

The Great (OPEN SOURCE) Software List
-mouser (October 25, 2007, 09:53 PM)

And to start a new list for open source software -- or, even more specifically, Linux? Yes, that would be lovely...  :up:

Switching to Linux would still be a bit too painful for me. Maybe in a couple years... (I've updated my Ubuntu installation yesterday, just for fun : nice!)

Nosh :
Thanks for sharing! There are some interesting aspects in your system (like the color coding, X2 [thanks tinjaw!], etc.). I don't have much time now, but I'll think about all that in... a couple days maybe.  :)

General Software Discussion / Re: Managing projects with OUTLOOK
« Last post by Armando on October 25, 2007, 11:59 AM »
Hummmm... Thank you very much mitch_c. I'll check that one out and modify my first post. [Edit : actually, yes, it is a deal if you plan on sharing it with team members. (I wonder how the company controls that? OK, I got it.). Still expensive if you're buying it only for yourself.]
And Welcome to Donationcoder!  :)


It looks like you have two distinct areas of need. On one hand you cited a number of planning tools like MS Project. On the other hand you mention a specific need for managing a set of current tasks through Outlook.
-CWuestefeld (October 24, 2007, 09:53 AM)

The reason why project planning tools are also mentioned is that I'm looking for a way to integrate my Ootlook task management with my project management. Like I said, I'd rather have only one set of tasks and not two, and I'd rather have my Outlook tasks working well with my project management software.

For Outlook-integrated task management, I'd suggest looking at Zoot (http://www.zootsoftware.com/). This organizer is in many ways a successor to Ecco in the way that it allows a grid view of data. It allows hierarchical folders for your items, and you can define rules determining how things are placed into folders automatically (and in fact things can be in multiple folders, and can be allocated there dynamically!).

The biggest criticism of Zoot is that it's a 16-bit, text-only application. However, there's currently a public beta of a 32-bit port, and my understanding is that once its ported, rich text support will be the next feature added.
-CWuestefeld (October 24, 2007, 09:53 AM)

I wasn't aware that Zoot could help managing Outlook tasks. I must say that I haven't trialed zoot that much since the 16-bit version wouldn't work properly on my system. Hence, I'm still waiting for the 32-bit version -- shouldn't it be out soon? I think I'll just try the public beta since you mentionned it ! Thanks!

Did you read the article? Sorry, but this leaves the impression, for those who will only see your comment and not read the article, that this is a bad thing. As the article points out, this is meaningless.
-tinjaw (October 25, 2007, 11:10 AM)

Sorry tinjaw.
Yes I read the article, and although I don't have the time to reread it now and you seem very competent and I might not have the qualifications to comment ( ;D ) cryptography/encryption, how and where does it say that it's "meaningless"?  :huh:

« Last post by Armando on October 25, 2007, 10:15 AM »
:)

Will try that with my old one when the new one arrives from Hong Kong  next week!

(My story is a bit different : my first Dell battery -- bought with my Inspiron in June 2006 -- completely stopped working normally after 6 months. I got a new one freely from Dell in January 2007-- 9 cells. Was good for about 3.5 hours. In September, it only lasted for 2.2-2.5 hours. Now it lasts for 1.5-2 hours MAX, which means that after about 10 months, it lost  almost 50% of its original capacity. This sounds like jgpaiva's story.  :( )

Thanks L. (Leo).
You're right : the chart should be updated.
It's the hard thing about reviewing software made by good and active developers: they continuously change!
The 2.2 beta is GREAT. I use it everyday and, like I said, the "out of tape windows" make a big difference in usability.

This is weird, Carol. I've never these kind of problems with Outlook (2003), even after BSODs, X1 crashes, and other similar disasters.
Is your Hard Drive in perfect shape? Any special Outlook extensions?

Just to make clear -- I don't want to take a break from DC and as you can see I'm still here and will continue to be here -- it's just that i have to work on another project full time for the next few months in order to pay the bills, and so i won't have nearly as much time as normal for working on DC stuff during this period.

Thanks for your hard work mouser; yes, a break would certainly be a good idea if that's what you want!

I have no idea how I could contribute to the website though, mouser...  besides posting...

Some mini reviews, maybe? But I don't know if my English is good enough for that. I also have to focus as much as possible on m PhD, so it's hard to promise anything. I could try.  :-\

IMO hardware support is good for... certain hardware.  ;)
Asking an OS to be compatible with virtually anything on the market is a bit much.
