DeskTask 1.1 Solved

Posted: 2009-01-28 00:39

No more pessimist news regarding the new version of DeskTask.

Yes, thanks to the help of Holger Lembke the problem regarding the German version of Outlook is now solved.

DeskTask 1.1 beta 3 is available to download at our forums.

Most likely this will be the final beta, and a final or RC version will follow soon.

What to do with DeskTask 1.1?

Posted: 2009-01-10 17:35

Difficult times for me to decide on the final version of DeskTask 1.1. Don't get me wrong, DeskTask beta is out, now fully supporting Windows Vista, however a small change in the function to retrieve data from Outlook, and the German Outlook version no longer gives the right results. (the normal USA version works properly)

Without resources, I don't have a German version to test, neither any other language, it's difficult to give support for DeskTask running in every Outlook edition.

The problem arose with the new option to show an indicator of the current task in calendar, simply adding this, DeskTask, running on the German Outlook, fails to filter the current days to show ahead in the calendar.

The options I have
- a) Remove the new option
- b) Ship DeskTask 1.1 final with the new option, and without German Outlook support
- c) optionally (user decision) disable this option for German outlook
- d) Make two versions (one global and on German (without the option))

I'm tempted for option c, but this is like a Pandora Box, after that, there could be a lot of small options to insure DeskTask works on all language editions of Outlook, something I don't want to do due to lack of resources on this matter.
