Drag & Drop from Outlook

[fluff]

hi, it would be very useful to be able to drag and drop items from outlook and create notes in AllmyNotes. Is this in the list of things to do?

Thanks

Thank you for this feature request. I've just checked what we can do there, it looks like the Outlook doesn't provide much info during drag&drop from list controls, it places only a link to its original data storage, nothing else. Which means, in order to drop that information properly we'll need to implement import routines for extracting data from Outlook, which is quite some work. Anyway, added to list of features to implement as time will allow.

Theres a task application called mylifeorganized. www.mylifeorganized.net and I have tested this software and drag and drop is possible. Maybe this can give you an idea. Would be a great feature to implement i believe

The is an exert from their help file:
Drag & Drop from Microsoft Outlook to MLO.
You can Drag & Drop items like e-mails, tasks, appointments etc from MS Outlook to MLO tasks. The
notes of the Outlook item are placed in the MLO task notes, together with additional parameters and a
link to the original item in Outlook. Multiple Outlook items can turn into multiple MLO tasks.

I know how to do it, I'm just trying to say that it's not that quick to implemenet.

I was reading this with interest. Although can't say this enhancement particularly interests me, there are others that I would very much welcome. This started me thinking about how customer requested enhancements are prioritised in general. No doubt the views of your customers form an important part of this but you probably have to judge how popular an enhancement is from feedback on the forum? I was thinking that a more accurage gauge of this would be by having some kind of voting system. Maybe something similar to your poll for which mobile platform but listing all enhancement requests and inviting customers to vote for their top few?

Just a thought ...

Cheers

...This started me thinking about how customer requested enhancements are prioritised in general.

Basically we have a very good/clear feeling what's demanded by number of feature requests on forum and on our support e-mail. As you can see, there is about 153 votes for Android, and 65 for iPhone, in fact it's even much more, cause it appears to me only 5-10% of these who would like to have certain feature are contacting support, or reading the forum… Majority of customers are pretty calm and simply using the software… Oh… I can imagine, if every one of purchased customers would write us a single e-mail per, say, 3 months, I'd die, well, I mean, at least would be needed to hire someone to work full-time on support And note, I'm talking about purchased customers, while there is probably x5 times more customers who are using the Free edition... Just a thought...

This is a good idea indeed, though we have pretty clear picture, but move votes would be really good to have, not just for us here at Vladonai Software, but for our customers.

I would be interested to see what is being requested more frequently than others too. Probably gives good ideas for usage too.

Vlad - sorry i did not pick up at all from your reply that it was possible...

Vlad, just a quick note of thanks for implementing a poll of feature requests. I like the way you've implemented this and I'll be very interested in the results.

Cheers
