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
Free!
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)
Download: http://www.essentialpim.com/download/beta/EssentialPIM16.exe

New features:


import from multiple RTF and TXT files (especially for those migrating
from TreePAD)
feature to change icons in Notes tree, pre-setup range
feature to set up Default font for Notes module
"Database Management" new window with essential information about
database
feature to add date/time into Note name
new "Add Note" dialog window

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

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.

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.

Can we hope for envelope printing at some point?

Thanks.

Can this program synchronize with my Palm Pilot?

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).
