Error deserializing AppSettings:
This usually occurs due to installation of a new release
without un-installing the old version. If anything
in the format of the settings file changed between
versions, it will need to create a new file with default
settings. You should go through the setup screens
and ensure that everything is configured correctly.

Registration goes back to wrong
screen:
After you enter your registration number, the registration
dialog returns to the registration screen rather than
continuing on to the "Thank You" screen.
If you exit and restart the application everything
is fine, you will never see the problem again unless
you re-install on a new computer. (by then we hope
to have it fixed...)

Ecco
stops responding.
Under certain circumstances Ecco stops responding
to API requests. There is apparently a resource "leak"
in Ecco related to heavy use of the API for making
large numbers of item-folder assignments. When this
occurs, the only known solution is to save the file
with a new name and run a Database recovery on the
file.
This problem
is believed to be made worse by a Y2K bug that has
been found in the API. If a blank file was created
after Y2K, then there are certain initializations
needed by the API that were not done. Every time Ecco
Helpers requests a list of changed items, all items
in the file will be returned. This can result in new
timestamps being created for every item in the file,
and evantually the "leak" in the API will
cause Ecco to stop responding.
To avoid
this problem, use the Blank.ect template in the Yahoo
EccoPro groups files section to create new blank files.
This template was created by setting the clock on
a machine to a date prior to 12/31/1999.

Application
crash in Palm ToDo helper.
If the option to synchronize Action, Projects, Someday/Maybe
with To-Do's is chosen, and the file you are working
in doen't have a Priority folder defined, Ecco Helpers
will crash. The folder is usually created by the Palm
conduit in Ecco, but if you are testing in a blank file,
the folder will not be present. The workaround is to
create a popup list folder titled "Priority"
and all will work. |
|
Under
certain circumstances the "Apply" button
doesn't display on the General tab of the Setup dialog.
The cause for this is still a mystery, and we have
not been able to reproduce it in development. If you
get this problem, PLEASE let us know!!! So far we
suspect that it may be a resource issue, or a problem
with the .NET framework. This
hopefully was addressed by re-coding the setup dialog
in v1.0.20. If you notice this problem in a later
version please let us know!

Timestamps
inserted by the TranSender don't have the proper format
This was an issue with beta0.0.18, the problem has
been fixed in v1.0.19

TranSender
idea window always puts items at the *TOP* of the destination
folder.
This is due to a quirk in Ecco. |
TranSender
Idea Window doesn't pop to the top on first invocation.
If the EccoHelpers application is not the active application
when the TranSender Idea Window is first opened with
the hot-key, the idea window will open behind whatever
application is active, or sometimes it will open in
a minimized state. You need to click on the button in
the task bar to make the TranSender idea window active.
This only happens on the first invocation of the idea
window. After the first invocation, the idea window
pops to the top as intended. This bug seems to exist
only in certain versions of windows and is not consistent.
Apparently Windows tries to protect the user from hostile
applications grabbing the focus. As soon as you let
Windows know that you really wanted it to do what you
told it to do in the first place it seems to behave. |

Tutorial
inconsistency
The tutorial has not yet been updated with the changes
to timestamps. Specifically the TSeModified and TSeCreated
folders are now Text folders and not Date folders.
Fixed in v1.0.21 please
let us know if you notice other issues.
|
A
new TranSender idea window opens even if one is already
open.
A requested feature is to have the option of re-using
the existing idea window. This feature will be made
available in an early maintenance release. It is recommended
that you try turning off the "Stay open" option
if this is a problem. |

Module
C:\Program Files\Cold Mountain Software\Ecco Helpers\DDCInt36.ocx
failed to register.
This error
message may occur during installation if your system
does not have certain files from the Microsoft Visual
Basic 6.0 runtime that are requred by the DDE Active-X
control that is used to communicate with Ecco. These
files are installed by many common Microsoft applications
including Outlook 2000. If you run into this problem,
you can download and install the latest VB6
runtime from Microsoft. More information on the
runtime can be found at this
link. The download consists of an executable that
will expand and load the DLL's required by the DDE
client software.
Fixed in b0.0.16

APP
NOTE:
if
using the GTD helpers, let EH create the folders for
you so that they get the proper pop-up and sub-folder
values
|

ToDo
Category not synchronized back from Palm
If a new item is entered on the Palm handheld, or
the category of an item is changed, the ToDo Category
does not cause the item to appear in the appropriate
sub-folder of "Contexts". This behavior
might be added in a future release if there is sufficient
interest.

Deleting
an item in the TranSend outliner
Currently the only way to delete an item in the TranSend
outliner is from the context menu for the item. To access
the context menu, right click on the item icon. |
|
Done
and To-Do's must have original names
Ecco Helpers expects that the Done and To-Do's folders
will have their original names. It is possible to
rename these folders even though the method is not
documented.
