Virus Scan for VueMinder Pro

Jan-Christoph Ihrens Great calendar application with many, many options. The synchronisation with my smartphone works perfectly. The developer is very responsive.

On my system (Core i7-920 and lots of RAM) it's a little bit slow, but I have a lot of software installed and most of the time have several heavy-weight programs open simultaneously, so that might be the reason - just try it on your system!

Dan Chartrand Hi Jeremy, the BDJ offer is only for the Pro version. However, if you purchase the Pro version and later decide you'd like to upgrade to the Ultimate version, the upgrade is discounted 40%. Also, the USB version has a 50% discount after purchasing the Pro version.

These discounts are automatically applied when clicking the "Buy VueMinder Pro USB" or "Buy VueMinder Ultimate" commands on the Help menu of the registered VueMinder Pro.

Stephen Kreyling The program works well, if you got lots of bills or recurring events, I like the emails I get and the on screen notifications. I did not use the text feature, the last time I looked at it, it cost money.

I run in on a laptop, Q840 @1.87, 16 gig ram, 64bit Ultimate windows 7.

I use heavy programs, video editing, cs6 master suite, and it has no problems.

Thinking of getting the ultimate, but it really dosent add that many extra things for the cost, would be better if you could get a little more than 50% on a upgrade.

Karl M. I researched and tested many calendar application and now I'm using VueMinder many months now and I must say it's the best calendar application available.

Dan, the developer is very responsive. Support is fast and he likes feature requests to improve his product constantly.

And the new VueMinder 10 beta is now available in 23 languages.

Gerard Booth I am a long time Vueminder user, and to echo Karl M, it is without doubt the best application of its kind available.

Developer support is always outstanding, to highlight this, a couple of days ago I requested a particular feature be considered for the next version, It was implemented the next day in a new beta version. Beat that if you can.

Amit Hello,

1) Can I customize or set it to be giving me reminder by only a traytip or balloon notification in system tray (windows 7 64-bit). i dont like softwares that interrupt main work of what i am doing by sending a reminder message in center of screen or so ? The notification time (that for which it stays dispalyed in system tray) can it be set to as long as i dont click on it, wud be very fine if there.

Also, much better if the traytip or balloon notification should also not steal the focus from current window. If this feature is not there - can it be added in next soon ?

2) Also can one use this family license (or upgraded license as said above, to ultimate or usb) on his own home office 5-10 pcs, with the same license too or 1 license needed for family home and 1 more for office. And on how many pcs of office can that 1 license be usable ?

3) What will be cost to upgrade in terms of USD to usb version or ultimate from this purchase to be specific. and would that upgrade too be a family license / work license ?

Thanks.

lemonade soda I'm also interested in the Ultimate version... so can I encourage VueSoft to offer that on discount too. The suggested route by Dan Chartrand above to buy the Pro then buy the Ultimate upgrade at 40% off is actually a more expensive route than just buying Ultimate straight out... so a nonsense suggestion if you ask me!

I'm particularly interested in the "Publish to a webpage" option, and that being developed further. In my calendar I have events that I would like to share with my clients, and being able to publish them in a read only HTML format is great. However, more flexibility is needed, such as custom field that defines whether an event is publishable or not, and also more output options so that I can publish Day, Week, or 3 and 12 Month views, not just the "default" current month view. Please provide working examples on your website. (By the way, your documentation and help file on-line is very thorough. Excellent!)

Does buying a license entitle me to all future upgrades, the same version x.x, or upgrades within a limited timeframe, e.g. 12 months? I ask for details because I dumped CalendarScope after 2 years because of their very slow development cycle and having to relicense for upgrades every 12 months. It was getting expensive for little or no feature changes just bug fixes.

Thanks in advance for answers.

Dan Chartrand Hi Amit, in response to your questions:

1) Yes, VueMinder provides a reminder that appears next to the system tray and doesn't interrupt your work or take focus from the current window. The reminder is called a "desktop alert" and is one of the available actions on the Actions tab of the Event or Task Editor. See the link below for more details:
http://www.vueminder.com/...alert.html

2) A single user license can also be used as a family license. All family members living in the same residence as the primary license owner are covered. You can install the license on any number of computers, as long as you or a family member will be the only user of the license on each computer.

3) There are discounts on the Pro USB and Ultimate versions after purchasing a Pro license. The Pro USB version would cost $24.97 USD after the discount. The upgrade to the Ultimate version would cost $47.97 USD. You can get the discounts using the Help menu. The prices are the same regardless of whether you're using the Pro version for work or as a family license.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Dan Chartrand Hi lemonade soda, thank you for the suggestions regarding the Publish to Web Page feature. To suppress certain events from being published, you could define a new category (via the Tools menu). Right-click each event you don't want to see in the web page and select the category from the "Categorize" menu. Next, in the Calendar Items area of the main window, click the "Categories" tab. Uncheck the box next to the category that should be suppressed. The generated web page will only include events that haven't been filtered.

Regarding the additional 3 and 12 month web pages, I've added this to my to-do list. Thank you for the suggestion.

Regarding the cost to update to a new release, all updates (including major releases) are free for the first 12 months. This 12 month counter restarts if upgrading to the Ultimate version. The price to renew update protection on the Pro version is $19.95 USD for 12 months or $39.95 USD for lifetime updates, which never expire.

Note, you don’t need to renew to continue using the software. The license and tech support are valid for life and will never expire. The renewal is only if you want to continue receiving new versions, as the product is constantly being improved on a very fast development cycle. You can also renew any time after the initial 12 months.

unisorce I just installed the Pro trial version and the option to sync with Google Calendar is greyed out. Is that a limitation of the trial version?

Aug 24 2012 at 6:55am Copy Link

0

Dan Chartrand The trial version is fully functional. If the Google Calendar tab is grayed out in the Calendar Properties window, hover the mouse over the tab to find out why. Usually, this is due to the calendar being a subscription to an online calendar URL. You can't configure the same calendar to be a subscription and also sync with Google.

You can add existing Google Calendars using the "Add Google Calendar" command on the File menu. Does that help?

Kelly Major Hello,
I'm very interested in purchasing but I've been testing for several hours and I cannot get it to connect to my Outlook calendar. I've followed the instructions listed in your product for "if you have trouble..." with no luck.

Is it possible it is expecting one of the COM connector Addins to be enabled? VBS for example? I general disable Addins that aren't being used.

I will purchase if I can get this resolved today but I'm sure you are busy and I only have limited time to keep working on this but I will try to make myself available for any suggestions you might have for me to try.

Thanks! - KEM

Mary Wilson I have been playing with this program and really like it. I do have a question. Found out when you minimize it you still have the full calendar but you can put it to just to show the month in the upper right hand corner. Saw that there was a list of upcoming events. Is after minimizing. Two questions as I can not seem to find the answer. Can you set the calendar to minimize to the small month canlder automatical or to the list of upcoming events instead of the whole calendar.

Kelly Major Dan,

I believe that may be the case. I'm not an Outlook expert, would I have any other options? Could I share the calendar somehow *privately* and make it available to your product?

I would prefer to avoid a solution like syncing to G-Cal and the having VueMinder sync with that. G-Cal syncing gets messy even with the best tools in my experience.

Please let me know so I can make a purchase decision.

Thanks! - KEM

Dan Chartrand Hi Mary, the desktop calendar will remember whether it was in full or mini mode, and that option will be restored the next time VueMinder starts.

Unfortunately, the mini desktop calendar only shows the current month, not the list of upcoming events. I'm planning to improve the mini desktop calendar to provide more options on what is displayed.

In the meantime, you could switch to the full desktop calendar and then click the "Move/Resize" button. If you make the desktop calendar narrow enough, you'll only see the list of upcoming events and month navigation pane. You can make either of these areas auto-hide by clicking the pin button on their caption bar. It will look like this:

If you'd like, I can let you know when VueMinder has been updated to support syncing with Exchange Server (I'm currently working on it). I'll also provide you with the 50% discount at that time.

Greg Brown Hi Dan. I'll try to keep this brief as it's more of a support question, but I need to try to resolve this before I can purchase. I tested this software several months ago and loved it, but was unable to get it to sync with google calendar and I uninstalled it. Testing it now, I'm still having the same problem. In fact, my old info is still in there. When I click File/Add calendar, all the calendars from my attempt last time are still there. If I highlight "new calendar subscription" and then click on "add calendar" it won't let me add one - it just says "syncing.... you should see your Google events shortly". Is there anyway to start fresh with this? Per the forums I deleted "ProgramSettings.xml" and ran the "ResetData.exe" tool. The old data is still there. I really want to purchase this software, but I wanted to make sure I can get it to sync up with Google. Thank you.

Dan Chartrand Hi Greg, the ResetData.exe utility will clear the previous data but only if VueMinder isn't running. Right-click the VueMinder icon in the task tray and select "Exit" before running ResetData.

To add a Google Calendar, don't use the "Add Calendar Subscription" command. Instead, use the "Add Google Calendar" command. The link below explains this in more detail:
http://www.vueminder.com/...endar.html

If you still can't get it to work, you can contact me directly by sending an email to support(at)vueminder.com.

Michael R. Hello Dan, thanks for the fast answer about the timezone-problem.

I checked my previous invitations with this timezone-problem, mostly webinar-invitations. But unfortunately in no-one was ever an attachment at all, especially no .ics-file.

Is there any reason, that an input of a non-local-time is not implemented? It seems not too hard to do so.
Any chance it will be at your upcoming v10?

B.t.w. can VueMinder can generate such a .ics-file when using it to send an appointment to people outside my local time-zone?

And thinking about exporting my calendar and send it to another person in another timezone: Will he get the data with the correct time?

Aug 24 2012 at 10:12pm Copy Link

Dan Chartrand Hi Michael, the non-local-time input could be possible - I just need to think of a way to design it that doesn't make the software too confusing...

If it helps, there is an option to enable a second time zone bar along the left edge of the Day and Week views. You can reference this time zone bar to find the correct time slot when creating a new event. This option is under the Calendar Options, accessed via the Options menu.

When VueMinder generates an ICS file that is imported by someone outside your time zone, the times will be converted to their local time.

Frank Stephens I'd like to purchase VueMinder Pro, but I have a number of technical questions. I noticed that it's referencing an NTP time server. This is not acceptable. I run a true NTP client on my computer, it's more accurate than any SNTP source, and it's completely unacceptable for any software to be setting my PC's time. I blocked VueMinder's NTP access, I don't know if that will affect it.

VueMinder Pro keeps track of all sorts of sensitive information, but it connects to numerous websites and there's a lot of Internet traffic. I'd like to know what the websites are that it accesses, what information it sends, and how it maintains security, particularly passwords.

It's probably fine, but I noticed that the installation is triggering a lot of .NET re-assembly with NGEN.

Thank you.

Aug 25 2012 at 1:37am Copy Link

Dan Chartrand Hi Frank, VueMinder connects to an NTP server so events can be accurately time-stamped, for syncing purposes. You can specify a different NTP server in the Calendar Options.

VueMinder will connect to whichever websites host calendars you've subscribed to (if any). If Google Calendar syncing is enabled, then VueMinder will connect to Google's server. VueMinder will also connect to the VueMinder website to determine if a new version is available. The trial version will connect to the VueMinder website to see if there are any discounts.

The only time any information is transmitted is when VueMinder has been specifically configured by the user to perform 2-way syncing or calendar publishing. Information is NEVER sent to VueSoft or the VueMinder website.
http://www.vueminder.com/...acy-policy

After VueMinder is installed, NGEN is used to improve VueMinder's performance. The VueMinder program files are compiled into machine code and placed in the native image cache. This happens in the background. If VueMinder seems slow when it's first installed, it's because the native images haven't been completed yet.

Dan Chartrand Hi Bitte, update protection lasts for 12 months. During that time, all updates (including major releases) are free. After the 12 months you can optionally renew the update protection or continue using whichever version you have. The cost to renew the update protection is $19.95 USD for another 12 months or $39.95 USD for lifetime updates, which never expire.

Frank Stephens Dan Chartrand, thanks for the info but a couple of issues are unresolved (I did complete the purchase based on support feedback here). VueMinder is using SNTP, it's actually much less accurate than my local time since I'm running a true NTP client. That's not particularly important. What does matter is that VueMinder must not set my local clock. I set my NTP client to Delayed Start until this is resolved, in case VueMinder is messing with my PC's time. Does VueMinder do anything to ensure the security of account and password information?

Aug 25 2012 at 1:51pm Copy Link

0

Dan Chartrand Hi Frank, VueMinder won't adjust your computer's clock.

Passwords are encrypted using 256-bit encryption and a private key that is unique to your computer. You can also assign a password to the program, so if your computer is lost or stolen, nobody will be able to access your data. The password is specified in the Program Options.

HKP This naughty software still makes the nonsense of overwriting the calendar data with empty content when it cannot find them at the determined location. The vendor elides any suggestion for improvement. However, he provides a backup feature, but this doesn’t protect completely against data losses. New calendar data written after the last backup are disappeared, as well as changes and deletions of entries. For a shareware, this is a no-go. Such a cumbersome process with a native backup is also not necessary if the provider stops the nonsense of overwriting with blank data. Most users already possess backup solutions of their confidence. What currently happens is this:

The user has defined a storage location outside the system partition and the storage device which contains the calendar data is accidentally not connected to the system for what reason ever. Sometimes the user simply forgot to switch on the storage device. When VueMinder now starts, the software alters the determined place to its default folder in the system partition which is empty. The GUI shows a calendar without entries. When the user overwrites the path with the right location containing his data, he is asked a silly and misleading question. A warning says: Your new path is containing data. Do you want to use this path? Of course, he wants that. He expects his calendar data to be loaded from VueMinder. However, what does VueMinder do? It’s incredible: VueMinder overwrites the user's calendar data with the empty content from the default path. It's awfully annoying, especially as the solution would be so simple:

The vendor has only to delete some lines in the program listing. If the calendar data containing hard disk is not included in the mapping of Windows when VueMinder starts, it should simply take no action. It could display a message: The path for the calendar data is currently not available. Nevertheless, VueMinder shouldn’t fool the user with an offer to use the calendar data from the right path and doing something totally wrong instead.

There is only one way to avoid data losses: The user needs to save his calendar data to another place before VueMinder starts. If VueMinder starts together with Windows, the mess cannot be avoided. If VueMinder starts delayed and the user noticed the issue in time, he can copy his data to another location and let VueMinder overwrite the data with the empty content from the default path. When he overwrites this a second time with his saved data, everything is back again. Even the last entries are there. However, it is unacceptable that this software completely unnecessarily causes the user such a hassle.

The build-in backup-function seems to be another way to restore data when you didn’t notice quick enough that the storage device is not connected. However, it doesn’t work properly too. It shocks the user with empty contents. Even if the user chose the right storage location of the backups, the software refuse at first to recognize the content of the proper folder. You need to do a trick: You have to start the backup with a double-click from Windows Explorer.

These issues do not effect the users who use the preset locations.

Dan Chartrand Hi Reg, if you purchased a VueMinder Pro license within the last 12 months, you can update to the latest version by clicking the "Help -> Check for Updates" menu command. Your purchase included 12 months of free updates.

If it has been longer than 12 months since you purchased, you can renew your update protection on the page linked below. There's an option for an additional 12 months of updates, or lifetime updates which never expire. The price for 12 months of updates is less than the normal price of purchasing a new license.

Since VueMinder Pro is currently on sale for 50% off through BitsDuJour, it would be cheaper to buy a new license (which includes 12 months of updates) instead of renewing your previous license.

Dan Chartrand Hi Bertie, Andreas is correct. VueMinder is fully compatible with Windows 10. Also, VueMinder has been been translated to many other languages which can be selected from the "Languages" menu in VueMinder.

Charles Beauchamp If there is a teaching clinic training students to organize within a calendar the home self / family care of patients (e.g., who have a COVID-19 illness + diabetes + obesity + cardiovascular disease + Anxiety + Depression), what is the cost to the clinic to have a VueMinder Ultimate site license? The Clinic will send to each student a USB stick that has VueMinder Ultimate copy + a student version of an EMR + Skype business capability for patient telephone communication & conversation documentation that is capable of generating and tracking after-visit text / audio / image summaries for input into a weekly calendar customized to the personal needs of the patient requiring home care of multiple simultaneous conditions that would include, for instance, specific daily medical food + medicine + supplement + physical therapy + bibliotherapy + cognitive behavioral + mindfulness....therapies and home task requirements (e.g, monitoring oxygen saturation / temperature / blood pressure / pulse / sugars / patient self-reports....). PLEASE give me a response.

HJ User I have three windows 10 computers,. an iphone and an ipad.

1. Will this program work on all of those devices?

2. As to multiple devices that it will work on, is the information updated automatically on all of them?

3. All of my devices are my own and are not used by anyone else. Will the basic fee allow installation on all of them, or is there an additional fee per installation?

4. Does the program include a function to permit the user to keep track of billable hours?

5. Will the program export data to a delimited text file?

Dan Chartrand Hi Charles, I don't think the site license option would work with what you describe, since site licenses are intended for use by a company/office at a single site, and not for distribution to other people outside that site. If your clinic has multiple employees that would also be using the software, the site license could work for them, but it would be more affordable to purchase individual licenses if there are less than 10 employees that would be using the licenses.

Since you'll be providing licenses to your students on USB sticks, I'd recommend purchasing VueMinder Ultimate USB licenses for the students. Those licenses can run directly from USB sticks (no installation required) and can be distributed.

Please contact sales

vueminder.com for pricing info on these options.

Dan Chartrand Hi HJ, in response to your questions above:

1. VueMinder only runs on Windows. It's not compatible with iOS.

2. VueMinder can sync 2-way with Google Calendar and there's a Google Calendar app for iOS. If you configure VueMinder to sync with Google Calendar, any events you create on one of your Windows computers will automatically appear on your other computers and in the Google Calendar app on your iOS devices.

3. VueMinder is licensed per user, not computer. Currently, there's no limitation on how many computers you can install your license on.

4. In the Ultimate version, you can define a custom field for billable hours and record data in that field.

5. VueMinder can export to a text file (CSV format). The export will also include custom fields (see #4).

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

CFGuy Hi Dan,
Your program looks like it has some very good features and is very customizable, which I like. Right now I use Broderbund's "Calendar Creator Deluxe", version 12 (more recent versions actually offer less features and customizations, so I (and several others on the CC forum) have stuck with v.12. While it is a very old program, so far I haven't come across anything as customizable and that I like better. Regarding background images on your program, the description says that you may
"Personalize your calendar by adding background pictures to dates". What about specific events that occur on dates. Can a background image be used behind the text box entry of an event? Additionally, does the program come preloaded with a list of holidays that the user can pick and choose whether to include in a specific calendar or not? Also, can recurring events be set up by x # of days, months, etc.? Regarding birthdays and anniversaries- cana user enter in a list and have the age or year anniversary automatically occur on calendars- such as every July 2nd it will automatically add an event "Ted's 45th Birthday", and then the next year "Ted's 46th Birthday", etc.? If you would let me know about this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much. -Cfguy

Dan Chartrand Hi CFGuy, VueMinder supports adding background images to events as well as dates. The documentation linked below explains how to add background images to events. This works for recurring events as well. Also, if an event is rescheduled, its associated background image will automatically move to the new date.
https://www.vueminder.com...linkevents

You can add holidays to VueMinder by using the "File -> Add Calendar -> Add Public Calendars and Holidays" menu command. Holidays for most countries are available, as well as many other calendars. The page linked below explains in more detail:
https://www.vueminder.com...endar.html

Recurring events can be defined to repeat after a specified number of days, weeks, months, or years. You can also configure recurring events to show occurrence numbers in the event titles. See the page linked below for more information:
https://www.vueminder.com...rence.html

Also, if you find the calendar printing capabilities of VueMinder lacking when compared to Calendar Creator Deluxe, I also developed another program called PrintableCal. PrintableCal is an add-in for Word and Excel. It can automatically import events from VueMinder (and many other sources) and show those events on printable calendar templates. Over 90 printable templates are included and can be customized however you'd like.
https://www.printablecal.com/

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

CFGuy Hi Dan,
I want to thank you so much for doing such a thorough job of addressing each question I had so thoroughly (including links to find additional information). You went above and beyond as a software vender here on BDJ- if more vendors displayed as good and thorough customer service skills as you, I guarantee that they would sell more software. I will be purchasing a license to your program today, and wanted you to know that how well you handled my questions and concerns has 99% to do with that sale. You are a class act, and I really look forward to using "VueMinder Pro". The calendar printing aspects aren't as important to me, but thank you also for thinking ahead (when I let you know the calendar program I am currently using) to what features I might be missing with "VueMinder Pro". However, I will check out "PrintableCal", based on your suggestion, to see if it would be a good addition for my needs. Thank you again for doing such a good job.

Dunking @Robert: one of the things VueMinder does which many free ones don't is sync to things like Google calendar. I find that particularly useful to have events and tasks I've entered on the desktop show up on my phone with no further action on my part. Similarly, my partner will often enter appointments in her desktop calendar (actually Thunderbird email, I think!) and that shows up on all my devices and, in particular, VueMinder, 'just like that'.

Dan Chartrand @Christian, I'm currently working on the next version of VueMinder. It's still maintained and supported.

@Karl, VueMinder only syncs when there are changes, and only the updates since the previous sync are processed. Any slowdown you're seeing is not related to syncing, but might be due to something else. If you'd like support, please send an email to support@vueminder.com. There are several settings that might help, but that's better handled by email instead of here.

Lo User A very useful piece of SW, and one of the few calendars that works offline.

I used it for several years until I had to stop because at one point, in my own specific case, it stopped synchronising reliably with Outlook.com.

I reported the problem to Dan, the developer, several times..

Other than that, if you don’t need synchronization with Outlook.com, it’s quite good and warmly recommended.

I’m using Thunderbird’s calendar, at the moment, which is miles behind VueMinder in functionality, but it does synchronise with Outlook.com

PortablesFan Hi Dan,
1) In May of 2022, you offered to convert any licenses purchased via BdJ to the USB version upon request. Is that offer still valid? (BTW, thank you for even bothering to offer a portable version in the first place!)
2) Sometimes “portable” versions of paid software still need to be activated on every computer where they are used—is this the case for yours, or does the activation bind to and “follow” the flash drive instead?
3) Do I understand correctly that purchasing lifetime updates, or an additional year, can still be done even AFTER the year of free / included updates has expired?

Mar 5 2024 at 9:37am Copy Link

Dan Chartrand Hi PortablesFan, I will continue to convert licenses purchased through BDJ to the USB version upon request, and at no additional charge.

The USB version only needs to be activated once, and the license registration can be used on any computer after the initial activation. The license is not tied to any specific computer.

You can purchase lifetime updates at any time - even many years after the original one year of update protection has expired.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
