Version 1.0.1.295

We’ve discovered a feature used by Outlook that occasionally interferes with the delivery of emails. Emails sent in a particular format, with files attached as winmail.dat or as att00001.dat (Rich Text Format) may contain other files attached that will not open. Outlook sends these emails in this format based on the sender’s settings in Contacts.

We have seen this setting turned “on” on some customer computers. This setting appears to serve as a kind of automatic detection function when an email is received and may be useful when using Outlook. However, when using an email system other than Outlook, the user may receive emails containing the winmail.dat and on occasion, the remainder of the email will be empty.

TMMail in TimeMaker version 1.0.1.295 implements a support for this format if the user has installed MSMAPI32.DLL. MSMAPI32.DLL is part of the Outlook installation or can be downloaded from Internet. With MSMAPI32.DLL installed, when an email containing a winmail.dat file is received, the attached email body is automatically detected and will open.

List of new features in 1.0.1.289

TimeMaker.exe can be started with few command line parameters.

1) /user=<user name> - this is the user which will be filled in user comun

2) /session=<session name> - this is the name of company

3) /outlook=<outlook profile name> - when you have more profiles in outlook, by this option you can select which profile should be set as default

4) /nooutlook - outlook plugins will not be initialized

And then we have special development parameters

5) /all_languages - shows in language selection all language files available, w/o check of valid code page of your windows.

6) /nolangapply - this is usable mainly for Hebrew version. TimeMaker will start w/o applying the language file, so your TM will be RTL but in English.

In TimeMaker Plans we have those user rights:

Owner - have full control over the plan and all steps of the plan.

Sub Owner - have same rights as perfomer over the plan it self, but have full control over all steps of the plan.

Performer - of the plan is always owner of all steps of the plan. Except the actions of the performer, no other rights allowed. Performer also can’t insert, delete, activate or deactivate steps of the plan.

Read Only - have only right to see plan, no changes allowed. Same is for the steps of the plan.

Header Only - have only on read only rights on plan, except the body. No rights over the steps of the plan.

Inherited - this is special right. It means that user can ask system to get his rights over the steps of the plan based on the rights of the plan.

TimeMaker is developed in Delphi. We love Delphi. It’s giving us much faster development than in C++ and on other side we are still more “low level” applications than in .NET.

But if you was ever developing some thread application in Delphi you probably get often freeze of whole application.

And TimeMaker database level is completely in threads.

My solution is this application (written by my developers from Ukraine): Delphi Killer.

Wow .. so this is my first post to TimeMaker blog. I’m not so big fan of the blogs and even English is not my native language.

However goal of this blog is to publish some technical issues about our application TimeMaker.
