About Ultra Recall by a Newbie
I have just bought Ultra Recall.
First Impressions are that the application itself is very powerful and appears to do everything I want it to. The documentation could do with being re-written. I'm sure it's all in there somewhere but it is all split up with so many links, I end up going round in circles. I think the interface is fine just the way it is but I would support the inclusion of an option to set the background colours of the panes. The one very minor gripe I have with Ultra Recall is with the 'Contact' template which cannot be deleted or changed. It has the field 'State' to specify which area the contact is from. Very few countries have states, in Britain we have counties. Other countries have Regions, Municipalities or Provinces. It would have been better if this template had not been carved in stone, but then Americans are always very parochial. |

With a little craftsmanship the "stone" can be "carved" to your liking... "The Contact template can also be modified to use a custom user-defined form instead of the built-in Contact form" http://kinook.com/UltraRecall/Manual/contacteditor.htm UR gives you the tools to create new attributes, edit the template and create a new form. |

I renamed the attribute 'State' to 'County', but the template still calls it 'State'. If I create a new template with the same fields using the new 'County' attribute it is called 'County' on the template until I close Ultra Recall, when I re-open the program the field is now called 'State'. Next try was to define a new form called 'Contact' with the correct fields. I did this, there was no error message when I pressed OK but the new form did not replace the contact template. The 'Contact' template was unchanged. The only way to do this is not to re-name the attribute or re-define the form but to create a separate attribute called 'County' then build a new form with a different name using that new attribute. But this still leaves a useless 'Contact' template in the list which cannot be deleted or changed. But as I said this is a very minor annoying issue. The program is very good. |

Strange. It now works. I don't know what I was doing wrong.
I did download the latest version 5.1.0.4 and installed it on top of the one which was already there and now the Firefox toolbar works (which it didn't before). Anyway now I can rename the attribute and the label on the form changes. Thank you for your help. |
