[Maxim]

Hello everyone in the group,

since EssentialPIM Free has been mentioned quite a few times on the
forum, I thought it might be a good idea to post about EPIM update:

today we are announcing a v.1 6 Release Candidate for EssentialPIM

There are many new features and bug fixes in comparison to latest 1.5.3
version.
Please remember, it is still a Release Candidate and before
downloading, BACKUP your database into another place (by copying *.epim
file using Windows features)

That is good news. Is there a new USB version as well?

Hello everyone in the group,

Snip

But still has the annoying advert for EPIM Pro so I will not use it.

 

[Maxim]

Portable edition will appear together with final release, i.e hopefully
within several weeks.

In this version we reduced the size of ad two times, based on user
feedback. Now it is a one-line text.
Just for the sake of clarity, ads are being served offline, i.e. EPIM
does not connect to the Internet whatsoever.

You still have not reduced it enough. There are plenty other ways to
promote your paid version. I would have thought that the quality of the
program(as it is good) would have been enough.

You still have not reduced it enough.

It's free, remember, you moaners and complainers. If you don't like
the small ad, don't look at it, don't use the software or get the paid
version. The small ad doesn't bother me. EssPim is a nice piece of
freeware.

New features:

Can we hope for envelope printing at some point?

Thanks.

 

[Maxim]

Yes, but, speaking frankly, not in the nearest version.

 

[Jeff Needle]

Yes, but, speaking frankly, not in the nearest version.

Is this answering my question about envelope printing, or some other
question? No context is given.

 

[Maxim]

Sorry Jeff,

yes, that was a reply regarding envelope printing.

Hello everyone in the group,

forum, I thought it might be a good idea to post about EPIM update:

Can this program synchronize with my Palm Pilot?

[Maxim]

Currently no such feature.

 

[Kansas Boiled Beef]

Currently no such feature.

Beware! Too many people want too many features. If you comply we end
up with a piece of bug ridden bloatware which I for one don't want.

Personally I think the notes module (tree) could be dropped. It's an
isolated module in the programme and there are better freeware
alternatives (e.g. Treepad, Keynote). An external utilites option
could take care of the notes.
I think it's better to focus on the planner, to do's and the contacts.

We had many users requesting us to implement multiple RTF import
feature guess for what? To easily migrate from TreePad (Treepad exports
nicely each note into a separate RTF file).
