Event Colours to enhance the visual information in your Diary


******

Organizer, the personal information manager for all RISC OS platforms, will be at the London Show with its latest version. Organizer 2.32 is an interim update with a number of bug fixes, small enhancements and internal changes in response to user feedback. You can now add a repeating alarm for a fifth day of the week in any month, while bug fixes include a Tab text anti-alias issue. The update is free to users of v2.30 (email organizer@blueyonder.co.uk).

Organizer 2.3x introduces a new feature to enhance the visual impact of Alarms and Anniversaries with Event Colours. Choose from a menu of preset events or create your own. The colours are used in all Diary, Planner, and Anniversary displays, and the warning and notification windows for Alarms and Anniversaries. See at a glance from the colour coding your upcoming meetings, family events, holidays, medical appointments etc, and which are the most important.

Event Colours builds on the recently introduced 16m-colour menu, updating Organizer's legacy 16-colour option and will provide a template for improving ease of use and enhancing visual information. Version 2.3x also consolidates many small enhancements and bug fixes to v2.29. Users of v2.3x will continue to receive smaller updates with bug fixes and minor enhancements, as well as email support.

Organizer 2.30 follows extensive work to upgrade the programme by developer Martin Avison. Upgrading the Address Book's vCard format represents a major step towards secure synchronisation across platforms. This follows the cloning facility introduced in v2.16 and data encryption in v2.26. Among the immediate advantages are improved Address export scripts, allowing, for instance, photos to be exported with other information. The photo size has also been increased from 30k to 128k, offering better definition photos.

***LONDON SHOW 2024 PRICES***

Show prices and for a limited period online at www.organizerpim.co.uk will be:

* £20 for users of v2.29 (Full price £25).

* £25 for users of v2.28 (Full price £30).
