In Final version, we fixed the bugs and issues the TA found from beta version.
Bugs
1.Personal organizer with daily reminder does not work
Now it should work on all the computers. Actually, it worked in the beta version, but maybe different
language OS will display the GUI differently, so it didn't display properly on the TA's computer.
2. Crash once suddenly
I removed the "auto highlight and select" when mouse over the contact list. That was the reason
causing the crash. (Accessing the database at the same time very fast will cause the database out of
memory exception.)
Issues:
1. Login, not all character shows properly on windows
I set the default local to en, US., and setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma",0,11)); Now all character
should show properly even on Chinese OS.
2. Free vs Chatty
Change status free to chatty, and change the icon, which now is not the same as the available icon.
3. Search engine not obvious, can just put "search" in front of it
I put an icon in front of it added the tooltip text.
4. Auto reply, the order of messages
I didn't fix it because auto reply is like a person replying you. If you send messages very fast to your
contact, you contact need time to read your message and bound back the answer. This is why the order
of messages is not in order. That's why we didn't fix it.
5. Both set auto reply, loop. !(fix or not)
The text input area will be grayed out when auto reply or Chabot mode is clicked, so that will avoid the
loop happen.
6. Close problem
Now when closing, there will my a notification message popup in the tray icon.
7. sfu275tray contact list
Deleted
8. What is the picture for following the contact name?
Just a picture, no functionality, we keep it there.
9. Contact list only searchable by email and start from beginning
Now it can searchable by nick name, and start from anywhere.
10. Block, but other still can see
We didn't fix it. In Smack API, it doesn't have a function to send a status to a specific account, and it
also it doesn't provide a status called "Appear Offline".
11. History delete but still shows on chatting windows
Fixed
12. Remove becoming offline
We didn't fix it because it's intended. When you delete a contact, it usually means you don't want to
chat with him/her anymore and don't want your status to let him/her know.
13. What does group do?
Grouping feature removed, since we have search feature to search for contacts.
14. If Gmail opens, it still online
It's Gmail’s feature. Now SolidIM can chat with on the Gmail page.
15. Organize by status does not work
We don't have this feature.
Also, in the final version, I polished the GUI and added the show number of Unread Gmail Inbox feature.
By clicking the email icon besides the number, it will open the Gmail page in the web browser.
