Digital Signing for Windows 10

Will BirdieSync 3.0 be digitally signed with valid security certificate so It can be run under Windows 10? According to PC Magazine review of Windows 10 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2483710,00.asp?mailing_id=1323820&mailing=SecurityWatch&mailingID=F705D9FA9AFC12E97767512A1020362D Serious Abo...

History Report - making it easier to read

I have been examining items in the History Report, when I realized that it is very difficult to navigate the same line, when scrolling horizontally. I was fortunate that there was a color coded line (Modification) amongst a whole lot of Creations, so I could use that to make sure I was reading the s...

Status Bar - Network information is now not showing what I saw yesterday and is correct. If I see the problem again, I will collect as much information as possible to show you.

Re: Folder Synchronization Mode and Remote/Local items

I have reviewed the changes you made in Beta 16, and they look great . In reviewing, I noticed 2 minor things that you might want to check: In the Configuration display window, in column 4 (sync details) bottom section, parking the cursor on any field in this area results in a tool tip "Set folder s...

Re: Folder Synchronization Mode and Remote/Local items

Thank you for being receptive to suggestions. In the end, I am sure you will make a "balanced" decision on the best nomenclature. This has been a good discussion and has helped me understand the configuration choices. This new BirdieSync is very powerful.

Re: Folder Synchronization Mode and Remote/Local items

After gaining a better understanding of the configuration options (thanks to your explanations), it is more difficult to "remember" where I got confused with the Local/Remote terminology. There may be a very simple solution, which involves minor changes to text in your Information window "Source and...

Re: Folder Synchronization Mode and Remote/Local items

Birdie, thanks for your detailed explanation of the sync process configuration parameters. I have been giving this a lot of thought because I recognized that users want the configuration to be SIMPLE, for what is a very complex process. Cheers to you for taking this on, and I think what I see in ver...

Folder Synchronization Mode and Remote/Local items

The other day you helped me with your concept of Local and Remote sources: mikeduncan177, to give more detailes regarding "local" and "remote" sources: Are considered as "local" sources, an Android device or a Windows Mobile device connected via USB to the server, or a Thunderbird installed on the s...

Re: Configuration Display - minor interface issue

You understand what I am suggesting. When first using the configuration display, a user is in a "learning mode" and needs to point at the icon to determine what it is; and as you say, the focus shading of the icon prevents determining where the parameter is on or off. I have been looking around othe...

Configuration Display - minor interface issue

This is just a suggestion to improve the understanding of the Configuration window. it applies to the selectable options in the Header bar of each region of the display. For example, if I have selected the Thunderbird Profile source and am working on Events sync, then the area I am referring to is e...

Re: Cannot connect local server after Thunderbird 38.1.0 upg

BirdieSync 3.0b13 fixed the problem. FYI, I had to re-boot my PC (local server) for it to work! Thanks for your fast response. Your explanation of Local & Remote devices matched what I thought it should be, but when I was first working with version 3, I thought I found a report which seemed to have ...

Cannot connect local server after Thunderbird 38.1.0 upgrade

Was running Thunderbird 38.0.1 and BirdieSync 3 beta 12 successfully. Then upgraded Thunderbird to 38.1.0 and found I couldn't connect to the Local Server. The IP address and Hostname of the local server (my laptop PC) have not changed. The BirdieSync menu Connection|Server Address... shows the corr...

iPhone iOS 7.1 calendar US Holidays

This is a "heads-up" for those of you who keep your holidays in a separate calendar and update your iPhone operating system to iOS 7.1. Apple, in their generosity, has now provided a country specific Holiday Calendar as a subscribed calendar in the new software version. This can cause a problem with...

Re: How to stop Lightning event deletion outside sync period

I have been reviewing the BrdieSync Logs to see if I can understand what is happening. I have found log entries for the deletion of Desktop events which were outside the Sync Period, so that suggests that the program is doing it. However, testing today I have shown that Desktop Events outside the sy...
