UPDATE for April 12th, 2008

Howdy,

I hope everyone is having a good weekend! Just had some wonderful crepes myself on the first warm day of the year here in Portland.

Today's update includes some small tweaks and twiddles that I thought you would appreciate having sooner rather than waiting for a larger update next week.

Enjoy!

FIXED: The non-disappearing edit window

Thanks to a good catch by Paul and Nobiq [http://gsfn.us/t/ghx], we fixed a bug which caused the "Edit" window from going away under certain circumstances. Don't worry: your changes were saved just fine, it was just that infernal Edit window that was making too much of itself.

Edit anything Sandy's remembering for you on her web site: click the item's name, then the "Edit" link.

TWEAKED: Editing a repeating appointment, reminder, or to-do

Some of you reported being a little confused to find that editing a repeating (ex. daily, weekly, monthly) appointment, reminder, or to-do on Sandy's web site left you with two copies: a repeating and a non-repeating one, only the non-repeating one reflecting your editing changes.

What was happening was that the default when editing a repeating item was to edit just the current occurrence rather than the entire series.

So we switched things such that you are editing "All future occurrences" by default. To edit just the current occurrence, in the "Edit" window, simply choose "Only this occurrence."

Thanks so much to those of you who wrote in with your expectations and observations.

FIXED: Forgetting repeating appointments, reminders, or to-dos by email

We fixed a bug which was causing Sandy some confusion when you asked her to forget a repeating appointment, reminder, or to-do by email (or Twitter).

To forget the current occurrence of a repeating event:
> forget
> forget #1
> f #1

To forget all future occurrences of a repeating event:
> forget @weekly
> forget #1 @monthly
> f #1 @daily

    Rael:

    I truly appreciate I want Sandy. More than appreciate it. But it lacks two critical features, and after scouring the posts here, I'm troubled that they're not getting proper attention.

    Number 1 is the ability to import contacts, say a long list of vcf or csv or whatever. I've yet to succeed doing this and absent that, I'm forced to use yet another service to get that functionality. Everyone seems to want this issue addressed. Please react.

    Number 2, another issue that prevents one-stop shopping here, is the absence of native bi-directional syncing with other services. It's great that Sandy listens to Jott and posts to Google Calendar. It's unfortunate that Sandy doesn't take anything fromGoogle Calendar or receive updates from Apple ical—at least it doesn't work for me. I see that many people with feel with intensity that bi-directional syncing should be a priority. Is anyone working on this.

    Great Product. Thank you. Just make it better!

    Warmly,
    Dr. Evan Stark
