Jello Dashboard release 5.30

Hello everyone,

It has been a while since my last release, but after dealing with some bugs and adding some new functionality, I have uploaded a new Jello version. But don’t expect many new additions. My main focus is to keep the project working since both Outlook and Internet Explorer become a very restricted environment for non-real add-ons like the dashboard.

Capture

In the latest release you will find some new stuff in the jelloapp.hta helper application:

  1. An easier interface for setting and un-setting the Dashboard into your Outlook using the jelloapp.hta which runs automatically after the installer finishes.
  2. Exporting of data in a tiddlywiki web page.
  3. Exporting of data in a todo.txt file.

Both exporting functions were developed in various times and I’ve decided to add them to the release to enable users to get their data out of Outlook for their convenience. I would also like to add that this version was tested in Outlook 2013 and Windows 8.1.

Many thanks to all friends who mailed me, helped me tracked bugs and keep using Jello Dashboard.

Please visit the Download section of the site to get the new version.

Jello Dashboard 5.25 (astral)

A new version of Jello Dashboard was released today, under the codename 5.25 Astral.
There were some new features added, since the bugs reported by users were significally limited.

Almost all of the new features were requested by you.

So, this is the full change log for the new version:

 

Additions
– Added: Inbox view grouping on/off button on the bottom toolbar. Last state of this button is saved.
– Added: Global shortcut key for editing the last created action: Ctrl+Alt+L
– Added: Total duration of appointments on tickler screen’s title. All day events are excluded.
– Added: Action list subject in-line editing is activated/deactivated by a new toolbar button
– Added: Item counter in status bar while waiting in Inbox and Masterlist views
– Added: New copy function to copy (duplicate) selected actions to another tag. Available in the actions menu of the action lists toolbar
– Added: New date format to choose from the settings screen: yyyy/mm/dd. Change separator to – for yyyy-mm-dd
– Added: Action form contains a link to the attachment’s folder after the action’s attachment
– Added: Tag edit form link to open tag’s archive folder in new window
– Added: For Outlook 2007 and above Tasks field totalWork is used as the duration field of action lists.
– Added: Total Work (duration) field in action form (for Outlook 2007 and above)
Fixes
– Fixed: Project history function was not displayed in Utilities menu of action lists when in a project
– Fixed: Action form Tag removal using the tag’s [x] button now works in newly added tags too
– Fixed: Unstarring an action brings also outlook task back to normal priority (if responsive setting is on)
– Fixed: Right clicking on a grid with context menu, selects only the clicked record. If items are multi selected, toolbar should be used.
– Changed: Postit collect popup shortcut key changed from Ctrl+W to Ctrl+Alt+C so that users with specific keyboards can type @ chars
– Fixed: Inbox displays all unfiled tasks at the first page instead of the paging number from settings
– Fixed: Inbox and action lists lost vertical scrollbar issue (again)
– Fixed: Printing notes for tags when listing a folder’s or parent tag’s contents.
– Fixed: Due date, duration and Total work action form fields are now on the same row for saving space

 

You can proceed immediately to the downloads page and get the new version.

I will be more than glad to hear your opinion on this update or take notes on possible bugs you may encounter (there should be not many left!).

Thanks everyone for your continuous support on this project.

This new version mainly fixes bugs. Lots of them!

I have decided to post it a bit quicker than planned, because of the importance of some errors reported by users in the forum.

Of course there are some new features added, plus some experimental ones. You can try those by enabling them into the Settings screen>Experimental tab and share your experience in the forum.
Experimental features include, a new message body viewer, Process sent capability, review panel tag popup links and inline editing of due dates in action lists.

The extjs library updated to the latest version, providing a faster and more stable user interface, and finally the Important widget is fully customizable.

In the meantime I have created to new video tutorials for Jello Dashboard. You can check them out here.

For more information on the changes, please see the Version history page.

Thanks to all of you who keep posting bugs and requests to the forum, you found things that I wouldn’t see in a million years! 
Sorry that I wasn’t able to make it and post some more of your requested features. Some of them are really great and I plan to add them in a future release.

So, why wait? Get to the Downloads page.

    G.P"I use outlook as it is the only application support by our corporate IT. Until Jello I managed my task lists and projects entirely on paper. Outlook has been a good application with a bad interface, one that takes more time to make it usable than you ever get back. Thanks for the great work - great value. I'll be encouraging my team to switch to Jello to help them get the best out of outlook as at the moment most of them struggle to manage their mail and"
