Jello Dashboard 5.00.6 beta
Since my vacation time was earlier for this year, I had decided to keep myself indoors for some hours to support Jello Dashboard users.
The 6th release fixes lots of bugs and even has to show off some small scale new features!
Thanks everyone for downloading and supporting Jello Dashboard. It may be the best way to GTD with MS Outlook.
Have a great summertime!
Changes (loong) list:
- Fixed: Tag sort order on tree and combo boxes
- Fixed: Go to folder combo box now match international characters
- Added: Tickler popup: Cached list of ticklers for faster rendering. Refresh the list using the date selector button.
- Added: Ability to edit the body text of a tickler or task from the body popup display.
- Added: right context menu to set / change due date for mail and task items.
- Added: Right click context menu for ticklers widget
- Added: “View this Contact” context menu item into inbox and mail folder views: This will open the contact item of the sender. If ambiguous, a box will popup to allow you to select the correct contact.
- Fixed: Right click context menu behavior didn’t match Outlook. Now, if you click on an item that isn’t selected, that single item will be used for the item to be processed. If you right click on any of a set of selected items, all items will be processed.

- Fixed: Made the goto box a bit wider and resizable

Hey!
Great to hear a new version is out!
The download for the Windows installer is broken though, it leads to the .zip file!
August 11, 2009 at 6:25 pm
You are right!
Thanks for letting me know.
It’s fixed now.
September 22, 2009 at 11:01 am
Nicolas，you are awesome……I can’t love this software anymore:)

Hi,
there is no RSS-feed information for the new beta version.
October 1, 2009 at 7:50 am
I have used this app since it has evolved and find it way cool. Although it looks a bit feature heavy right now, I still use it on a daily basis. Thanks a bunch.
October 1, 2009 at 11:21 am
Thanks for your great work!!
I use Jello Dashboard’s Home Page as “outlook today” replacement at this moment. Because my outlook working flow is somehow different from that Jello has, so I am not sure if I will use Jello for Inbox management, tagging … and so on.
With Jello Dashboard’s Home Page as “outlook today” , everything looks wonderful. While it would be even better if Jello 5 could have “search folder widget”.
Before that, I might row back to Jello 4.51 for its “search folder widget”.

Hello Everyone! Just thought I’d say many thanks for such a great product!!! I’m just wondering is there any way I can use my new iPhone with Jello?
Steve
November 5, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Thanks all for your nice words!
@Steve
Unfortunately, no iPhone support is available.

I use Jello most days and I wondered how
Jello 5.00.7. is going i.e. what exciting features will be added….
February 10, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Oh, no news on that field yet. I’m taking a long break to forget all of the code troubles and take care of my kids! I will be back someday though…

Hi a great tool, I make a few test and I get a outlook wiew control error
February 10, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Probably your activeX of olview control is faulty. Try to reinstall Outlook/Office.
May 20, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Hi, great tool here too. I get the same kind of error when am trying from the Widget to add selected item from “inbox” to someday/maybe list? any idea?
thanks.
May 20, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Do you mean that you’re tagging someday an email from inbox? How do you do it?
May 20, 2010 at 7:38 pm
man that’s support quick answer! thanks.
Well yes, in fact I activated the widget “Outlook view” in the Home window. Then I selected an email and tried to tag it with the “incubate” icon, and even the “review” icon of the inbox widget toolbar.
it give me the exception : Outlook view control error – Invalid action.
May 20, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Try instead of this to tag from the combo with @Someday or @Review. Maybe the buttons reveal a possible bug. Which version of JD are you using?
May 21, 2010 at 4:26 pm
- jello 5.00.6 Nick.
- I did try the combo box and it does the same thing.
thanks.
May 21, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Did you try the new version 5.1 yet? I fixed a lot of things in this widget.
December 21, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Is it possible with utilities send preview safe to report actions with all assigned metadata.
The same for the masterlist overview.
It would be very easy to see e.g. to what action relates to what project or not.
February 10, 2010 at 10:52 pm
I’m not familiar with that tool. Is it a library or a full app?
December 21, 2009 at 11:43 pm
by the way great tool to use
January 15, 2010 at 5:15 pm
I would like to set the archive folder of a Tag to a Public Folder, but it keeps saying “choose a Mail Items folder”, any ideas?
February 10, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Unfortunately I’ve never tested it with public folders (no access to an exchange server) but if Outlook cannot see it as a Mail folder then items cannot be moved there. My code just checks to make sure users select a mail folder.

That was really strange! I have fixed it. Thank you so much!

Hello everybody! Just one question – what about compatibility of Jello and the new Outlook 2010? Is it working fine or should I expect problems?
February 26, 2010 at 4:45 pm
According to my recent check, it works just fine!
February 26, 2010 at 5:39 pm
But on a second look there is a major problem with the outlook view control! When in use, changing screens clears everything…
