Ultra Recall is DEAD!

3 things I forgot to mention:
1- Another feature I added specifically for regular users is portability. IQ runs on a USB stick. No admin right required
2- The Calendar in this Pre1 version is for demonstration purposes. It works, you can add events, recurring, alarms, etc, but it is feature incomplete and untested. The rest is rock solid (for a beta) and I’m working hard at completing the Calendar
3- Outlook sync will start with the AddressBook, it is working but disabled in this Pre1 version. I definitely did not want users testing this (and mess up their Outlook contacts). It will be released when fully tested.

I would have to agree that “not actively enhanced” is not the same as “dead.” It’s not like your copy of UltraRecall suddenly stopped working. It might be a bad purchase decision now, but this doesn’t automatically mean people should switch.
One good thing about this thread: I learned about the new name InfoQube—this is so much better than the previous one!

I agree I might have exaggerated, but being an active member of UR forums (over 700 posts), participating actively on suggestions (there are many features half-done that need further improvement), helping finding bugs, reporting problems, discussing user problems, ... end of development, at least for me, means that UR stopped breathing, ... without oxygen ... dead

Re: Notemap - AGREED!!!
What is EccoEXt and where can I find it?
The situation with UR emphasizes the importance of using PIMs that can
export to a standard format like RTF or HTML.

EccoExt is a clever set of code that gets directly into Ecco, fixes a few things (e.g. the Y2K recurrence thing), adds a some features, and lets you program it directly in Lua without having to go through the old crusty slow DDE interface. Documentation and instructions on how to get it is here:
http://eccoextdoc.wikispaces.com/
The developer also has a couple of other add-ons for Ecco.
