Yaroslav has just updated TreeProjects to version 2.7, introducing more columns for the list view(s) - plural because you can use them in ALL list views, including e.g. searches. Neat! He's made the columns auto-flexible, too, so they widen/narrow as you change the size of the list pane - a nice touch. Oh, and he's explicitly stated that he's working towards customisable columns.

TreeProjects remains one of my very favourite PIM solutions - not least because of deceptive simplicity, speed and stability. Go, Yaroslav! Oh, and if you ever fancy including a spreadsheet-type note (as in AM-Notes: http://www.aignes.com/notebook.htm that would be brilliant... but no pressure!

Cheers,
Bill

Spreadsheet-type notes would be nice; I personally prefer the Rightnote implementation http://www.bauerapps.com/RightNote.html

It does make one greedy though; spreadsheet-type notes, then spreadsheet functionality, then possibly macros... where does it all end?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for posting the update.

There is no built-in spreadsheet item type yet, but if you have Excel installed, you can preview and edit spreadsheets stored in the database, as if they were native. Like this: http://personaldatabase.org/screenshots/excel.png

Hi Yaroslav,

"There is no built-in spreadsheet item type yet, but if you have Excel installed, you can preview and edit spreadsheets stored in the database, as if they were native. Like this: http://personaldatabase.org/screenshots/excel.png&quot

I support this solution because then we have the complete Excel functionality available. Further, adding a spreadsheet type item would bloat TreeProjects and increase complexity within the application.

I just tried contacting the developer of Treeprojects at http://personaldatabase.org/ - the web contact form doesn't work - and an email to the provided contact email address bounced. I bought a license to this product on the promise it would be an Ultra Recall replacement - but it seems the company may have folded? That's annoying !

Also potentially very impolite if the developer just did a runner without telling anyone ...

Anyone have any insight into this?

Steady up, Ian: everybody can have problems, and in my experience Yaroslav is usually quick to respond to e-mails and queries of any kind. I note the web-page contact form isn't working, and I've just sent him an e-mail myself (to the advertised e-mail address, which I've also used for some time to conduct private correspondence with him). But making heavy accusations isn't very kind, especially when a one-man band is involved.

Cheers,
Bill

Yes, I've had a bounce-back message, and notice that the reason is a "550 mailbox quota exceeded" issue. That's probably what's affecting the web form as well. I know Yaroslav hangs out on this forum sometimes, so I'm hoping he'll spot the issue and take appropriate action.

Cheers,
Bill

I'm a big fan of TreeProjects. It has some unique implementation like the snap-to window pane and it is being updated constantly.

I am using it to build a large freeform music database.

I'm not worried when/if development ceases as you can build a portable version of the application from the desktop version, anytime you need to.

A happy customer thanks!

Hey guys, i talked with Yaroslav 6 days ago.

I'll try to contact him now to say about your problem with his website form.

PD: i'm only a smereka translator :-)

I sent an e-mail yesterday requesting an extension for the trial version, and I got the bounce back notice too. I hope this can be resolved, because I'm eager to give TreeProject another try.

Hi all,

There were indeed technical problems with my mailbox - it filled up without warning. My bad! All is fixed, and whoever had their messages bounce, please contact me again.

Thanks!

Yaroslav
