Notes 7 – so nebenbei…

Posted on by Martin Hipfinger

so nebenbei möchte ich mal erwähnen, welche funktionalitäten mir am notes 7 client am besten gefallen:

  • der weitere ausbau des multithreadings; z.b. beim view-aufbau:

  • die programmierbaren kontextmenus
  • das “new” menu (obwohl das im outlook noch immer praktischer ist)

  • die option “Save Windows State” – durch die nach einem neustart wieder alle datenbanken automatisch geöffnet werden

    With a little LotusScript

    Posted on by Martin Hipfinger

    bin gerade wieder über einen recht “witzigen” bugreport gestolpert, demnach man mit einem im mail eingebetteten ActiveXPlugin object auf dem client des empfängers beliebige programme ausführen kann…

    Follow these steps :
    1) Create a new mail, add recepients
    2) Go to the body and click in the menu “Create..Object”
    3) Select “Control” and any object you please such as “ActiveXPlugin Object”
    4) In Client 4.6 right click on the object to get “Properties”
    In Client 5 click on the menu the new “Applet” feature, and go to “Properties” then check “run the object when the document is read”
    5) Then select “Edit events” : An event pane opens linked to the object
    6) In the “Initialize” section Add the following code, where “My EMAIL” is your Lotus Notes account name (if you get this part wrong, you’ll bomb yourself) :

    Momentum Shifts to Notes …

    Posted on by Martin Hipfinger

    … as Exchange cools. That’s the view of Steven Birchfield, president of Automation Space LLC in Tucson, Ariz. His company adds workflow tools to both e-mail systems, and he’s sensing a shift in IBM’s favor. “Lotus Notes will gain a little bit of market share in 2005,” Birchfield forecasts. He says that in the past nine months, he hasn’t seen one company move from Notes to Exchange, a common phenomenon in recent years. But he has seen a handful move in the other direction. Birchfield recalls that Microsoft Corp. initially wooed top Notes developers and paid them millions of dollars to port their products to Exchange, which he gladly did. But unlike some, Birchfield didn’t abandon Notes. That was a wise move, since IBM has apparently adopted Microsoft’s approach and is bringing Exchange vendors to the platform. Birchfield’s advice to new customers of his TrackerSuite for Lotus Notes and TrackerOffice for Exchange isn’t to swap platforms, but to “leverage the skills and experience you already have in-house.”
