BUGS CORRIGES PAR OUTLOOK® CONNECTOR 1.3
-
Repetitive read-only events would nag you forever: When an item is read only on the
appliance, ALOC doesn’t try to upload it on the appliance, even if the user has changed it in
Outlook®. The previous versions would try to upload the modification, would get an error,
and would then download the previous modification, erasing the modification (for example
the dismiss of the reminder). To check this, just be invited to a repetitive meeting, you’re not
the creator. Previously at every synchro, the information ‘reminder dismissed ‘ would have
been cleared, then the eyesoft item would be synced in again and you would be nagged again
by the reminder. No more in ALOC 1.3.
-
Modification of the settings panels: The configurations panels have been splitted in sub
windows. As a consequence, it’s now possible to display the configuration forms ( with the
previous versions, ALOC couldn’t because the configuration forms were part of Outlook®’s
settings panel) and ALOC does it when the network hasn’t been configured. Also, as the
design of the panel is just a string and a button, ALOC settings panel should be able to fit in
every reasonable size of Outlook® settings panel, when previous versions would require this
panel to be designed explicitly to make sure it fits in the dialog box.
-
“Synchronize” button status: The synchronize button is active if the current folder is
mapped to a folder of the Appliance, and inactive if not. Previous version updated this
(active/inactive) status when the user changed of folder. This could lead to incoherent state if
the current folder was Contact, and the user didn’t subscribe to his contact folder, and then
the user subscribed to it. As long as he wouldn’t change the current folder, the button would
be inactive. Now the status is fixed also when changes occur in the list of folders the user is
subscribed to.
-
Event transferred to personal calendar in assistant mode : In the ‘Appliance’ subfolders,
a folder can be read only, but it can be changed from read only to read write, neither can it be
changed from read write to read only. The access right enforced by the Appliance store is set
when the folder is created, i.e. at subscription time. If the rights of the folder evolve on the
appliance it wouldn’t be updated. So, if a user A is the assistant of B, it can subscribe to B’s
calendar folder, and create / modify … events for him. But, if for some reason, B doesn’t
want A to be his assistant again, B would remain subscribed to his calendar, and would
visually be able to modify the calendar (i.e. Outlook® would let him edit items in this
folder). At synchronization time, ALOC would try to upload the events, and the appliance
would accept the upload (ie return no error) BUT would create it in the user’s calendar folder
(see bug 5359). The appliance now returns an error. Also, when timely synchronizations of
the folders occur, ALOC now compares the folders of the appliance and the folders in
outlook®, and warns the user if there is a mismatch (for example a folder is deleted, or the
rights have changed).
