Diary/calendar template for 2008


Since quite a few people use MyInfo to keep a diary/journal, we decided to make this year’s diary template better then the previous.

In the new template, we have added a quick year/month overview, with links to each day entry.

The new (2008) calendar

Download MyInfo Diary template for 2008. In order to install it as a template, copy it in the Configuration/Templates subfolder under your MyInfo installation.
For MyInfo desktop this is “C:\Program Files\Milenix\MyInfo 4\Configuration\Templates” by default
For MyInfo portable it is “<drive>:\MyInfo 4 Portable\Configuration\Template” by default

Happy New Year and let’s hope that the majority of posts in your journal will be positive!

MyInfo anniversary


Today, MyInfo just turned eight! It’s been a long time, since the first release of MyInfo hit the market on October 29, 1999. The little app back there turned into a complete tool for organizing any kind of information with lots of hard-core fans today.
Those people are the reason why MyInfo survived many other similar products in the years and why it gets better and better with each new release. I want to thank to all of you for the continuing support and for all the praise, suggestions and questions that I get each day on my email.
Talking about this anniversary, let me tell you a little story. Back in 1999, when we first released MyInfo, it was not an instant success. We’ve got a number of downloads, but the sales were low (here is the moment to thank to our first customer, a guy who turned out to be a big visioner – thanks, Wil :) ). That doesn’t mean that there was no interest in MyInfo. Just in the opposite – many people were contacting us on the email with suggestions for little improvements. Well, when we released MyInfo 1.1 with these little (according to us) improvements, the orders started to pour in. With the next versions (1.5 and 1.7) things got even better and we were relieved – MyInfo survived and thrived since!
And this is a good thing. I am happy reading all those emails from people that depend on MyInfo for organizing their lives and businesses!
With each new release MyInfo got better and better and soon we had the recognition of the experts too: Software Industry Awards Foundation nominated us for the Best Business Application in 2003 and Jeremy Wagstaff wrote a column for us at Wall Street Journal Online.
With all that said, I have good news for you. MyInfo just got better. Version 4 is a huge step forward and as an appreciation for your continuing support, we will offer it first exclusively to our current customers. It will be a special, time-limited offer, so check your email tomorrow. You don’t want to miss it ;)

Improved Send to MyInfo for Firefox


Send to MyInfo is a handy plugin for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox that speeds up collecting of information from the Web. However, the Firefox version has one significant limitation – it sends only plain text (no text formatting, no images).

Not anymore! We have just released a new version of Send To MyInfo for Firefox, which works exactly like the Internet Explorer plugin: preserving all text formatting and images.

The improved version was originally planned as a MyInfo 4 add-on only, however we have managed to make it work with both versions (3 & 4). This means that you can install it even if you are not a beta tester of MyInfo 4.

Firefox should automatically inform you that there is a new version of the add-on and offer you to update the version installed on your computer. If, for some reason, this fails, you can find the updated add-on in the MyInfo Plugins section on our web site.

MyInfo 4 preview: USB drives compatibility


Although MyInfo 3 could be installed on a USB flash drive, it works far from perfect. It could not store user settings back to the flash drive and in general it is not designed for such a purpose.

In MyInfo 4, we have paid a special attention to the ability of the application to run on a USB drive. Now, all user settings are stored back on the USB drive. Even little things as your personal spelling dictionary are remembered between the different host computers. There will be separate install package of MyInfo, especially designed for portable installation.

The pros of using MyInfo (or any other application) on a thumb drive is that you can always have your favorite application and all your data with you. In addition, the backup of such installation is extremely easy, because all files that you have to backup are stored in a single computer folder.

MyInfo 4 preview: document attributes pane


MyInfo tree columns are a unique feature that sets apart MyInfo from its competitors. It is a powerful tool for adding meta data to your documents.

In MyInfo 4 tree columns will be more convenient to use, then ever before! The new version will feature the new Document Attributes pane, where you will have instant access to all tree columns (even the hidden one). Now you will need no longer to have all custom tree columns visible in the tree, if you use them for only a few documents in the topic, because you will be able to view and edit their values in the Document Attributes pane instead in the tree.

Document attributes pane

The new Document attributes pane will offer you a feature that was not possible in the MyInfo 3: now you will be able to set an attribute value for multiple selected documents, thus making the categorization of documents faster!

In conclusion, MyInfo 4 will offer the most powerful meta data capabilities, which aren’t available in any other PIM on the market! It will be the only PIM to offer both editable tree columns and document attributes in a attributes pane.
