(*) Fixed bug where Adding Mail Reminders wasn't working in Thunderbird.
Version 0.9.9
Version 0.9.9:
New features:
(*) New Lists! In addition to reminders and ToDo's, you can add additional lists that will show up as separate tabs. You could keep lists like: Movies (for upcoming movie releases), Albums (for upcoming music releases), Groceries (to keep track of items you need), or anything else that you can use a list for. This is good for list-oriented people like myself :) You can add/reorder your lists from within the Options.
(*) There is a new preference option to hide completed items. In addition, there is also a context menu in the edit window to temporary show or hide completed items.
(*) You can now set dates on ToDo and List items. ToDo's with Dates will show up in your tooltip just like Upcoming Reminders. You can also now set alarms for ToDo and List items. (The Date column is hidden by default for ToDo's)
(*) Reminders and ToDos now store the date that you completed the item. (The Date Completed column is hidden by default)
(*) You can now move reminders to any list via the Move to List context menu item. Also, you can move any ToDos or List items (that have dates) to the Reminders list.
Improvements:
(*) Automatically Synchronizing to a network has been greatly improved. Synchronization now happens in the background; when you bring up the Edit Reminders window, the synchronization status is displayed at the bottom of the screen instead of a small modal window. Similarly, after you close your Edit Reminder window, your reminders are uploaded in the background so you no longer have to wait for this operation to complete.
(*) Better column interaction. You can now click directly on columns to toggle Complete state, Remind Until Complete and Show In Tooltip status. You can also click on a reminder's email icon to view its associated email.
(*) Column headers now show icons for Mail, Completed, Show in Tooltip, and Remind Until Complete. It was difficult to really identify the columns with just the text, and now the column size can be much smaller
(*) Now when you mark a repeating reminder as complete, it will only mark that instance (and previous instances) so that future occurrences are not marked as well.
(*) Notes now show up in alarms.
(*) (SeaMonkey) Fixed some bugs to now work properly in SeaMonkey/Mozilla. Thanks to Philip Chee.
(*) (Thunderbird) The Add a Reminder menu is now available when selecting any message in the message list, as well as the message and preview panes. Thanks to Guenter Wahl.
Bug fixes:
(*) If the preference is set to show no past occurrences, the list wasn't showing reminders set to Remind Until Completed
(*) fixed bug where alert could still possibly show if it had been marked complete since last alert
(*) fixed bug where alert could close when you closed the Reminder List window
(*) fixed bug where Importing from network would fail if the remote file was not created by ReminderFox.
(*) fixed bug 14783 - Upload window with status "sending" stays open (ftp)
(*) fixed bug 14784 - duplicate alerts could show multiple times
