Jez,

Hate to be harsh, but they are out of business.

Good luck]]> Tue, 08 Feb 2011 11:21:58 PST http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/550961#Post550961 http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/512943#Post512943 John Wallace

John,

I bought a copy of Now X in preparation for running Snow Leopard. I was never able to get it to work. My Now DB has maybe 25,000 entries. Can't seem to get updates online. What should I do?]]> Sat, 08 May 2010 18:35:32 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/517447#Post517447 http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/512216#Post512216 John Wallace

I'm pleased to announce that Now X 10.0.3 is now available for download. You can get the latest version either by selecting "Check for Updates..." command from the Now X menu in the application, or by visiting http://registration.nowsoftware.com and choosing download after logging into your account.

Changes in this version include:

• Made changes to the database to speed up scrolling in the list views.
• Changed database code to increase speed for opening the detail view, especially if email linking is enabled
• Fixed a sync problem where syncing stopped for some users after they deleted a contact or event.
• When resolving duplicates, ensure that syncing won't start.
• Changed how creating backups works to minimize the chance of corrupted database archives.
• Fixed an exception that was occurring when deleting all the items currently displayed in a list.
• The Event List View now correctly honors the properties for displaying or not displaying completed vs. uncompleted calls and tasks.
• Fixed a sync problem where end dates aren't set correctly causing some data to not be synced.
• When date ranges are set to "custom" it now ensures date ranges are valid and the start of the range defaults to the current date.
• Fixed a timeout problem that happens during startup. This may cause launch to be faster for some users.
• Fixed a problem where data is dragged and dropped into contact detail and event detail views.
• Fixed a bug with time interval display. For example, before time intervals of 90 minutes were displayed as "one hour" but are now displayed correct.
• Correctly save window positions when quitting the agent.
• Fixed menu initialization code to speed up displaying menus when multiple events are selected in the Event List View
• Added icons for preferences for Copying Events and Copying Contacts
• Protected categories (ie Personal, Unfiled) and Tags (Sync, Marked, Quick, Hidden) are now tracked differently by Now X. These categories and tags can now be renamed without Now X trying to recreate them at the next startup.
• The date displayed for Notes imported from Now Contact is now the date that was set in Now Contact instead of the date the note was imported into Now X.
• Fixed a bug with the Graphics Palette that resulted in the Graphics Palette never appearing after a custom palette was created and selected.
• Fixed a bug with syncing all day events, where the end date was being set to "null" incorrectly on events coming into Now X from SyncServices. Added a Database Maintenance method to fix all day events that have null end dates, to have a correct end date that is compatible with SyncServices and iCal.
• Fixed a bug in the Export to Text command that resulted in no contacts being exported. Exporting Contacts to Text now asks the user if they want to export only the selected contacts, or all contacts currently displayed in the Contact List View.
• Category names with commas in them are now properly assignable in the Contact Detail View and Event Detail View.
• Added Copy Contact Info and Copy Event Info to copy formatted text for selected contacts or events to other applications.
• Improved workaround for spontaneous restarts caused by bug in Apple's networking code.
• Fixed layout issues in a number of dialogs caused by changes in Snow Leopard.
• Added code which prevents app from switching to front when a progress dialog is displayed.]]> Thu, 07 Jan 2010 11:36:17 PST http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/512216#Post512216 http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/511663#Post511663 Sean_dup1

I'm pleased to announce that we have released Now X 10.0.1.

The main focus of this release is fixing problems with Snow Leopard, fixing problems with firewalls and other problems where people couldn't get started, fixing problems with data, and other high-priority problems. We have also added a number of new menu commands and other feature enhancements. A list of notable changes appear below, and can be found in the ReadMe installed in the Now X application folder.

We'll be having a series of releases over the next few months where each release will add more enhancements and fixes. If you reported a problem before and it hasn't been fixed yet, then it's scheduled for an upcoming release. Reporting it again isn't necessary. If you find a bug you haven't reported, please use the Report Bug command in the Help menu so that bug will be sent to our quality assurance team to reproduce and assign to our developers.

The following are the notable changes for Now X 10.0.1:

• Updated scripts in /Applications/Now X/Extras to be compatible with Snow Leopard.
• Updated QuickContact and QuickDay menus to make them compatible with Snow Leopard.
• Fixed problem where some users behind corporate firewalls couldn't authenticate Now X.
• Fixed problem where data sometimes wasn't being displayed in Page Mode.
• Fixed problem where durations of longer than a month weren't being properly displayed in the Event Detail views.
• Increased the default size for day numbers in Month view. In previous release they were too small by default. Users can edit the size for day numbers by using the Properties button on the toolbar.
• Added ability to Contact List view to show Home Email and Work Email columns. To show those columns (or other columns) see: http://doc.nowx.com/index.php/guide/6-contacts
• Changed versioning to use easier to read numbers.
• Fixed data entry in Quick Contact and QuickDay menus
• Implemented menu command for show/hide toolbar
• Implemented menu command to show properties window
• Changed default columns for event list and contact list to match those in NUD5 and NC5 (only affects new databases).
• Fixed date-only tasks so won't display a time.
• Fixed repeat duration for certain custom repeats.
• Fixed date picker panel so that hitting the return key is the same as hitting the OK button.
• Fixed code so that creating a new event from the menus now creates them on the selected day (rather than "today").
• Fixed problem where menubar would sometimes be blank.
• Fixed problem where QuickDay or QuickContact menus would sometimes appear behind windows.

Information about what's coming up in future releases will be in our Monday Developer Updates. Stay tuned!]]> Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:34:12 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/511237#Post511237 http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/510488#Post510488 John Wallace
