@Vadim
OK

@Marlon Candido Guerios
Thank you

@Deckhead
The start page can be accelerated by various ways:
1) Use less widgets
2) Have the sidebar hidden
3) Use the light homepage
I did my best to keep it customizable cause the use of the Outlook object model slows things down!

Yes, I need to make a guide, after I deliver a totally bug-free version!

@mcheron
That’s great news!
Thanks!

@GD
Another checkbox for the filter combo? I don’t know It will get too crowdy down there!
But its a good idea.

@Sergio
I would love to do that. Many users would love to use this feature but I cannot implement it! You see the Outlook object model lets you query only the ACTUAL appointments and not their reccurences. They don’t get a unique id also, so its impossible to deal with them.

Hello,

The tool is really good. I’m trying to get seriuos about GTD and there is one suggestion I would like to make:
- make possible to mark calendar itens as done.
The reason is: when doing the weekly review I would like to mark the calendar as done (after cheking my personal notes and including the itens in Outlook) without making a real change in my Outlook calendar.

Rgds,
Sergio

And now, a suggestion for version 5.

It would be really useful to filter things that are NOT in a particular category or context. (Perhaps a checkbox for “Not”, plus the current dropdown menu of filters).

Thanks for your work, I am demonstrating your software to my French colleagues, and now you have supporters in France too.

Great piece of software! Keep the good work running.

But I miss two things:

– accelerate the startpage
– make a guide how to work gtd-style with this software! Perhaps you can write down .. how you work with it!

You are on the right way…

I’ve just downloaded it and so far so good. It is making my life easier. Congrats for this great tool.

@John Sexton
I jot that down and see what I can do. I hope I will be able to reproduce this! Thanks.

@Mathias
I guess you use a localized version of Outlook. I sort the emails by received date descending using the [Received] outlook field. I don’t know yet if I can deal with it in localized versions of Outlook since this property has another name! I will try though.

@Joe
I’m doing my best (but I’m always a little late answering!)

@Andrew Gross
Hmmm I will try to find a workaround (too many characters in menu). Thanks.

@Frederic
Interesting ideas. Please send me an email in more detail (I did not quite get all of it!)
Thanks.

@Mrs. MooseBerry Pie
I got the no-context bug report. I think it works only right after you create a new one. I think it’s a bug and I’m On it!
The links works for some people. I got some bug reports but I have not collected enough info to see what is going on!

@Vadim
I’ve emailed you for more info on this. Seems interesting and BAD bug!
Thank you.

Whew. My techy husband resurrected my JelloDashBoard. I guess when I upgraded I didn’t download it to the right place … left it in Windows temp files or some such thing.

But I am happy now … and VERY grateful for all the work you put into the JelloDashboard!

Mrs Moose B. Pie

ps … is the ‘links’ under TOOLS working for anybody? Maybe I deleted something, because it was working fine…

I’m very excited about what you are doing, doc, and what possibilites Jello gives to implement the GTD method. Thank you!
But there are some issues with it:
- the “no context” shows the existing contacts as tasks. I’m worry if I delete them from the dashboard, I will lose the data. Am I right? What should I do in order not to see the contacts there?
- when assigning the incoming messages to a context, and check the box ‘move’. The message appears in the chosen context, but still remains in the inbox.

I’ll be grateful to have solutions from you and will come back with other issues if any.

Thanks,
