Jello 4 changes: Accessible folders management

One major drawback of the current version is the definition of the Outlook folders accessed by Jello.Dashboard.

Until now, when the user set the use of all folders (of all open PST files) for contexts and projects, Jello looked for tasks and other types of items in every open folder except of the excluded folders by the user. That caused Jello more slow and users with inaccessible folders unable to manage their folder list.

After taking feedback from many users I’ve decided to invert the way folders are handled. By default, Jello will use only the default Outlook folders (tasks, calendar, contacts etc) and the user can add/remove any folder making his/her own list.

I also added a notification (seen in red text header) for folders assigned by default for contexts and projects which are not watched by Jello. Because sometimes its no use to automatically move items of a context to a specific folder and Jello cannot list it.

Here’s a screenshot (beta version with the new accessible folders will e available soon)

Awaiting on your feedback!

Jello 4 development shots

The new homepage is completely different.
The sidebar is going through some changes, some new common contexts are there for easy access, there is a new header menu and the widgets are making their first appearance.

The number of widgets are limited only by the machine’s performance and they are positioned according to the user’s customization screen.
But…there is no widget drag and drop support, and unfortunately still no <iframe> webpage or external widgets support.

The first beta of Jello 4 will be available in a few weeks time (for the bravest of them).
Until then I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
