It didn’t take a long time before I received multiple emails explaining that the autologin feature wasn’t working anymore with the Evernote 3.0.6 beta.
I’m not using Evernote Account Switcher myself anymore. I’ve found the sharing feature enough for my needs.
But because of popular request I’ve updated the app to work nicely again with the latest version of Evernote.
I went even further by completely redesigning the autologin process. And I must say I nailed it this time. No longer a copy paste trick but real keychains. You’ll hopefully find it working must faster and stable. And this way you can open Evernote without EAS and it will still autologin! Finally…

I also updated the app to work with the latest version. Over the versions of Evernote the application added a lot of extra folders. I’ve now made sure that every account has it’s own set of folders.

Evernote also added a feature to sync upon quitting. Evernote Account Switcher wasn’t build for this but now is.
It now gently waits until Evernote has quit and than continues.

I hope you like it!

Jasper]]>Things Folders 1.0info@jazzaround.netThings Folders2011-12-31T13:44:18+01:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/index.html#unique-entry-id-16http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/index.html#unique-entry-id-16TFIconToday the release of Things Folder 1.0 …. finally.
Although there are no new features in this release I decided that it was stable enough to be released as 1.0.
I regret that the quality of icons are still very poor but as mentioned before I don’t have the skill to make icons. And so far nobody has come forth yet with some icons. So if you make cool icons I’ll add them. Otherwise we have to do with these ones.

I also haven’t worked on Things Folders for a couple of months now. And I can’t see myself doing that in the near future.
So unless Things Folders will not work anymore with a future version of Things and I still need Things Folders for myself to work; I doubt I’ll ever work on it again.

Also a note to all the beta users. I found that when you only use one Things application you should be fine. So if you only use the beta delete the current version of Things. Otherwise AppleScript could get confused in what application to use for its data.

A big thanks for all the users who provided feedback and filed bugs! Much appreciated!
It has been fun.

Cheers!

]]>Things Folders 0.9.9.1info@jazzaround.netThings Folders2011-08-30T09:38:56+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/index.html#unique-entry-id-15http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/index.html#unique-entry-id-15TFIconToday the release of Things Folder 0.9.9.1. This release contains few bug fixes but most of all extends the beta period. I’ve heard that Things Folders probably won’t work yet with the new Things Beta. And more unfortunately I haven’t received an invitation yet to the beta so I can’t work on it myself. Therefor I can not support the new Things Beta yet. So if you need to use Things Folders don’t upgrade to the Things Cloud Beta yet.
I’ll keep you posted.]]>Things Folder 0.9.9. & getSatisfactioninfo@jazzaround.netThings Folders2011-05-31T10:55:27+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/may-2011#unique-entry-id-14http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/may-2011#unique-entry-id-14TFIconToday the release of Things Folder 0.9.9 with some heavy requested features. Like the ability to specify where your active projects should reside. You can now choose between three options. Also the ability not to make a folder when it’s specified with a certain tag. And many more. See the release notes page for full details.

This beta release is valid until the first of september 2011. Expect version 1.0 before that time.

Also I’ve switched to getSatisfaction page for user feedback, questions and ideas. Hopefully it will save me some time when users answers users. And when I don’t have to answer the same questions over and over again. ;)

As always... I hope you like it!

]]>Things Folders 0.9.8info@jazzaround.netThings Folders2010-10-23T23:05:40+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/oct-2010#unique-entry-id-10http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/oct-2010#unique-entry-id-10TFIconWell it has been a while since you’ve last heard from me.
But this is again good news. Things Folders 0.9.8 is out with some nice new features and again a new icon.

Like the Today folder. Something I just wanted to have. A nice folder that simply links to all the folders of projects or areas that I’m working on today. According to Things off course. My suggestion is to keep this folder in your favorites for easy access. Also support for Scheduled, Canceled and Recurring projects. So some basic functionality. For a complete list of changes click here.

As always: I hope you like it!

I know some people who were looking forward to this. So I’m proud to say that the next beta is out: 0.9.7.

Please note that we’re not there yet but it’s a great step forward.
I hope you like it.

Jasper]]>Evernote Account Switcher 2.0.2info@jazzaround.netEvernote Switcher2010-08-19T20:18:34+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/aug-2010#unique-entry-id-8http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/aug-2010#unique-entry-id-8easToday a minor update for Evernote Account Switcher.

It solves a bug to make sure Evernote quits before adding your first account. And nice little feature especially handy for the people with a premium and a free account.

You’ve probably disabled promotions in your premium account but then when you switch back again to your free account they pop up again. And when you switch back again to your premium account you have to disable it again. Now it will disable promotions by default. Making sure your promotions will be hidden. But off course with your free account they are likely to pop up again after a while!
If you don’t want to see promotions at all just make sure all your accounts are premium!

]]>Things Folder 0.9.6.2info@jazzaround.netThings Folders2010-07-31T21:17:44+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/jul-2010#unique-entry-id-5http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/jul-2010#unique-entry-id-5
I’ve been working on getting the first release more stable. That’s why the release of today is 0.9.6.2 and not 0.9.7. Some important bug fixes are in there. Especially for users who have there Things database in dropbox (and there are some!) this release should let you use Things Folders as well.

There is now also a special Release Notes page for Things Folders and a Status page. So you can see what is going on here. If you’ve got feature request let me know!

Also a special thank you for the people who have donated! It’s much appreciated!

Jasper]]>One day, two releasesinfo@jazzaround.netEvernote SwitcherThings FoldersPush2010-07-25T23:21:39+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/jul-2010#unique-entry-id-4http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/jul-2010#unique-entry-id-4Things Folders.
This is again an application that I build for myself and perhaps you like it as well.
When you work with Things as your to do manager I found that everything is organised (your email and todo’s) except your documents. Now I want documents on my computer to be in a simple but good structure that I’m familiar with.
But then I thought I all ready have a structure in my email and todo’s and most of the documents I make or receive could fit in one of my projects or areas. An idea was born and some time later Things Folders was born.
I hope you like it.

Also today the release of Evernote Account Switcher 2.0.
Besides many bug fixes also a couple of new features like naming and auto login. Also the code has been drastically improved. Many thanks to Peter for helping me bug fix this application.
And again I hope you like it!

And for those people waiting for an update on Push. I have been working on it again but can’t say when there will be an update. I’m doing a complete rewrite so it might take a while. The good news is that I’m trying to add many new features! It will be nice.

Cheers!

Jasper]]>Evernote Account Switcherinfo@jazzaround.netEvernote Switcher2009-09-27T21:11:12+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/sep-2009#unique-entry-id-3http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/sep-2009#unique-entry-id-3I use Evernote on a daily basis for my personal account. But at work they might use Evernote as well and then you have a problem with the regular Evernote client. Perhaps you have the same problem as well. So until Evernote adds this feature in the Evernote client feel free to use this.

Jasper]]>Push 0.86 and Documentationinfo@jazzaround.netPush2009-04-26T23:28:37+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/apr-2009#unique-entry-id-2http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/apr-2009#unique-entry-id-2There was one nasty bug solved that was to important to wait. It was the bug that you couldn't use a apostrophe. The Push Server would give an error every time.

I've been also working on good documentation. I realize that good documentation is vital for a project as this. So hopefully you find it helpful. If not please ask you questions, report your bugs or anything else in the comment section or use the Contact page.

You only got this week to contact me though because on friday I'm going on a well deserved vacation! But again hopefully a more stable version of Push along with Documentation, Installation Guides and FAQ will get you pretty far!

Cheers!

Jasper]]>Introducing: Pushinfo@jazzaround.netPush2009-04-11T19:40:59+02:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/apr-2009#unique-entry-id-1http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/apr-2009#unique-entry-id-1With Push you can set up your own push file server and it's an awesome new way to share files! If you want to know more about Push just check out this website.

It's always interesting to see how something grows.
What started as a simple idea became a shell script and from there it has grown to an application. There has been many adjustments and many features were added along the way. And now it is ready to do it's first steps in the great wide world.

It's exciting for me because I never thought it would actually come to this.
But most of all because other people get to use it. And I hope they like it!

So please check it out, download and use it and let me know what you think.

Cheers!

Jasper

BTW: I still need some real good icons for Push. So I you are or know someone who would do this for free? Let me know!]]>Launchinfo@jazzaround.netBlog2008-12-09T22:34:54+01:00http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/dec-2008#unique-entry-id-0http://www.jazzaround.net/Blog/files/dec-2008#unique-entry-id-0
For some time now I’ve been playing with this idea. And this week I thought why not? I’m not doing anything usefull with this place on the web anyway.
So here it is then.. I hope you like it. ;)

I’m starting off with cvcpSync and another script called Organised.
With cvcpSync you can do really fast syncs between Xsan or StorNext volumes.
With Organised you can easily organise your desktop and download folder.

Look at the software page for the scripts. There are more to come in the future...]]>
