DorisDesktop 1.6

Demian Turner — Thu, 19 May 2011 17:19:15 +0000

Dear Mac users, please upgrade to the latest version of DorisDesktop:

Download the latest version of DorisDesktop

This latest version fixes a lot of usability bugs and is recommended for all users. This will be the last update before I introduce the new multiple view layout that will make a History view possible and some other nice surprises.

Here’s what’s updated:

Fixed ability to tab through fields when adding new task
Disabled multiple selection of tasks
Added command r to refresh tasks and sync
Badge added to icon in doc for current number of open tasks in Today
Fixed wrong task and group selection bugs
Total task count added to window title
Group folder icon based on type: group, today or inbox

For this last item, if you have a folder called Today (it’s not mandatory) you’ll get a nice checkmark icon for it. And if you name one of your groups Inbox you’ll get the appropriate icon.

DorisDesktop 1.3 – Complete UI Overhaul

Demian Turner — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 15:35:54 +0000

Check out the latest version of DorisDesktop – I’ve done a complete UI overhaul and it’s much more pleasant to use. UI improvements include:

Apple Mail like interface with task counts per group
date creation and update times in collapsible panel
better keyboard controls:
- use N for new Task
- use G for new Group
- to toggle completed Task (Full Keyboard Access must be enabled in system prefs)
- key to delete any selected Group or Task
- to dismiss any panel
much better speed/performance than all other versions
see the CHANGELOG for the list of changes

The last vital features that’s missing is the ability to drag tasks between groups, this will be implemented in the next release.

Give this early beta a try while it’s still free and please send any comments, all feedback appreciated!

Login problems fixed with Read Later app

Demian Turner — Thu, 27 May 2010 12:49:48 +0000

There was an issue with the new Yahoo login feature on our Read Later app, this is now fixed since our latest update went live in the App Store last night.

Yahoo had changed the HTML on their login page which we scrape to allow for easy logins from our app. The fix, which consisted in changing one line of HTML, took over a week to be accepted by Apple!

Apologies for the inconvenience.
