Round 6 of Invitations Sent and Other News

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

We are happy with the reception GTDInbox Plus Beta has been getting. Most GTDInbox people have been able to upgrade and use the new version without any serious problems (though we appreciate it when they send in their error reports — those reports are guiding us as we prepare the next release).

We just sent emails to another 80 GTDInbox users, inviting them to upgrade to GTDInbox Plus Beta. If all goes well, we will send another 80 invitations, tomorrow. If you haven’t already registered for the upgrade waiting list, please follow this link to the waiting list page. If you don’t know what the upgrade is about, please take a look at the feature tour on YouTube so you can get a glimpse of the powerful new tools we have added in this first release.

Several people have asked about the Chrome port. Just to reassure everyone, it is still scheduled for release before the end of this month. With luck, it will be sooner.

Quick Fix for Windows Vista GTDInbox installs

Monday, February 1st, 2010
Several GTDInbox users have not been able to get GTDInbox 3.0.11 to run even after uninstalling and reinstalling it several times. The following procedure may fix the problem in the short run. Long run, we need to rewrite some of our code so that it plays better with Vista and 7. Hope to do that, next week. Meanwhile, this procedure may get you up and running for your Monday morning work.
Basically, this will make Firefox forget your old GTDInbox settings. GTDInbox should install correctly afterwards. You may still get some error messages, but if the problem has been these old settings, then GTDInbox will work. If you use custom status labels, you will need to update your preferences, again, in the Preferences box, after completing this procedure.
You must follow these steps in order, and you must not make any other changes once you go past the warning.
1. Uninstall GTDInbox.

2. Restart Firefox.

3. Move your cursor to the address bar and type about:config

It will look like this.



4. Press Enter.

5. You will get a big warning screen. Ignore the warning and go ahead.

6. Type gtdi in the filter box. This will show you only information about GTDInbox.

Right click on the line that reads extensions.gtdinbox.account_prefs.

A menu will appear.

Choose Reset and click on it. DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE!

This will make your browser forget whatever preferences it has been remembering for GTDInbox.

Here’s a picture.

7. Close Firefox.

8. Open Firefox.

9. Reinstall GTDInbox. It may work normally. If not, then you will not have done any harm.
