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.

I will say that the version 5.25 (astral) is already functioning, and proving to be, much better than the previous version I was on. I haven’t received any VBScript errors whatsoever and in the previous version I would get at least one a day for various reasons. As much as I like to look at code – I haven’t the time to do so, but feel that the progress this version has made should be well commended!!

I’m glad It’s getting better and more workable. Thanks to user feedback of course!

Do you want me to send you a list of all the errors I got? If yes, how shall I send it?

Dont know how you do it – I have just installed 5.25.2 beta (Astral) and got countless Script errors until now. The things that are working, are nice, but …

Hello Jutta,
Since you get so many errors, I think there is some of the Outlook add-ons you have installed that causes this. Please start Outlook in safe mode (without loading add-ons) and check it.

You can send errors using the Jello Dashboard forum, or the contact form from this page http://jello-dashboard.net/help/contact/

It seems like there is a bug in the Inbox. I create tasks by dragging and dropping emails into the Task bar or use Task It through SimplyFile. Either way the body of the task does not appear when I try to see it in when the task is in the Inbox, but it reappears once it is in Next Actions.
Any idea what is going on?

Inbox previews only emails for now. Good thing you brought this up so I will take a look at it.
Thanks!
