Here are a few feature requests after having used Agendus Windows a bit (pro build 293):
1. Ability to print address books for paper planner systems such as Franklin Planner (i.e., set custom page sizes, fields, and layouts). Would be nice to be able to print calendars too, but I consider this a lower priority since Palm Desktop and Outlook allow this already.
2. Ability to choose particular icon sets from your Palm backup directory & copy/paste icons among those sets (e.g., if you want to paste some of the stock Iambic icons into your custom icon file, or if you want to paste icons from shareware icon sets into your custom icon file).
3. Ability to show only due to do items in the to do page. Would be nice to add a button for this at the top or bottom of the screen, along with buttons for other commonly changed to do display options such as showing done items. Could even add an optional toolbar for this type of button -- that would be really nice!
4. Would be great to be able to select multiple items within the find window and apply an icon to all of them, e.g., click control-f, find all items with "birthday," select all those items, and apply a birthday cake icon to them.
5. A small point: Would be nice if Agendus Windows would support whatever Windows feature allows you to scroll the screen with the laptop trackpad (by dragging up/down the side of the trackpad -- you set this option in the trackpad settings and then it's activated in the OS and works in 90% of the programs out there). Sorry, I don't know what you need to implement/support to make this work, but most programs do allow this. If this is something you'd like to implement, I'm happy to provide more details as to what I'm talking about.
6. Would be nice to be able to change your data source settings if Agendus can't connect to Outlook -- right now, when this happens, Agendus quits and there's no way I can figure out to get into Agendus without having it connect to Outlook. (Actually, you can get into Agendus if you run your Outlook client and have it connect...it doesn't produce the "can't connect" message that then quits the program, but my guess is many users won't figure this out.)
That's it for now,
Marc
