Well, steady progress has been made with my upcoming application, High Priority, and its now time for your help! If this is the first time you’ve heard me mention the program, you might want to read my previous entry for a description and the rationale behind it. Anyway, with the memory errors (double frees) and calendar parsing problems resolved, as well as pretty much all of the features I plan on implementing coded, it’s time for some testing.
High Priority Menu
I’ve decided to make this program inexpensive shareware, although even in its unlicensed state, almost everything will be available to the user. The only feature I’m saving for licensed users is the ability to create To Do items directly from the menu. In my opinion this is the greatest feature of the menu extra and I believe it’s well worth the $6 I plan on asking. I’ve beefed up the preferences too, as you can see from the following two screen shots.
High Priority Settings (Modifiers)
High Priority Settings (Advanced)
Now, as I mentioned before, its time to start testing this program. If you’re willing to be a tester and help me find the bugs and oddities within High Priority, you can snag yourself a free license! Plus, and more importantly, you’ll receive undying gratitude and fame within the documentation.
I’ve been coding High Priority on OS X 10.4 so I’m not sure of the system specs yet. I believe that any Macintosh running OS X 10.3 or higher should be able to handle the application and if all iCal versions use the same system of storing files, then the version of iCal installed shouldn’t matter. So, if you’re interested in testing High Priority, contact me with the following details: Your name, your email address, the version of OS X installed, whether your are an Administrator or User (user account wise), and a few details about your computer (model, RAM, known oddities). I’ll be compiling a list of testers and should send out the first beta in the upcoming days. Thanks!
