Nope. I tried this and still no sign of QuickDay or QuickContact in my Leopard menubar.

Also note that the toolbar in the event info window is a bit flakey under Leopard.eg the show text fields icon can vanish after clicking on it. Click again and it appears back. On one occasion the whole set of icons in the toolbar vanished but mousing over the area indicated they still were there.
Doesn't always happen just every now and then.

Status: we are currently testing an update that fixes the server and QuickContact and QuickDay. I'll keep you posted on availability. At this point we need to finish our inhouse testing and then we'll move into beta testing.

That's very welcome news, John. I've had to move to Leopard so I can get experience with it for supporting other users and even after only one day it's been painful not to have QC and QD. That there's a possibility of this being fixed before Nighthawk's calendar module becomes available will be great if you can indeed make it work.

Thanks for making the attempt. I know of a number of developers in a similar position - and we all can name a few, can't we? Wink - would just say "sorry, no more updates to the existing product. Buy the next product instead".

Dudes — Can we get real about Leopard?

If NCT/NUD and its Menubar shortcuts are important to you or your clients, then perhaps it's NOT time to upgrade to Leopard? Really. There's no good reason to spend the time and effort transitioning unless it will all work.

I've got Leopard working on an external drive and I test it every day. However, until all of my critical software and hardware have solid drivers, verified compatible software and a baked bugfix update, I'm doing my real work in Tiger.

Generally that's very good advice, David. It's a huge risk to move a mission-critical system to a brand-new OS. But sometime you have to take the plunge and if necessary accept limitations and partial success. It depends on what your "real work" is and what's the most important aspect of your computer usage. Since part of my job is supporting Mac users, I had to upgrade to Leopard so I could get a good handle on the issues involved in everyday use. Just booting to Leopard occasionally just isn't sufficient (I did that with the seed versions to get a feel for the new UI and features, but to really know how an OS works and what it's quirks and caveats are, you have to run it much more consistently). I knew when I upgraded that QuickDay and QuickContact wouldn't work thereafter, but that doesn't mean that I don't miss them.

Regards.

You can of course use spotlight (bit clumsy) or I've started using 'Launchbar' very neat little shareware app that Apple should have included in Leopard instead of spaces. In fact I think Launchbar's interface is better than QuickContact.

Launching Now Contact and Now Up-To-Date are not a problem for me. What I miss is the pulldown menu to show my appointments and to-dos for the day and the automatic reminders (the QD daemon doesn't run under Leopard either so I get no notification about events).

I am using 5.3.1 with Leopard. The menu items are not working. The NUDC tool bar works fine.

Missing Sync is saying their program does not work with Leopard and NUDC.

I have been able to sync with Missing Sync in spite of what they say.

My Quicken 2007 shows menu items that work. My Quickbooks Pro 6 displays the items but they do not work.
