I like the new "notifications" settings !

I hope all users have updated their profiles ! It makes a big difference to receive e-mail notifications.
For those who missed it, see this post : Good news ! Email Notifications for new content and comments
 
Ok... It would be nice to not receive notifications for our own posts, but it's easy to filter anyway.
 
Yippee!!  :-)
 
 
P.S. : Pierre, would it be possible to announce that through a simple e-mail sent to all members (or at least those who are the most active...) ? Or maybe post a sticky in "What's New"... But that is probably impossible. In any case, the idea is to inform that the feature now exists.

Time travel (previous version loading)

Submitted by david1904 on 2010/11/11 00:01
After installing 0.25E I suddenly had PreRel16 loading immediately afterward - and telling me the date was about to expire (now it says has expired).
I found the old version still on the computer and deleted it - but I still get the message!
I have unpinned it from the Start menu and repinned it again. Still have the problem.
When I close 25E 16 shows up again - and it is hard to close - comes up with the beta expired message again. Sometimes a window where I have to tell it again to close.
However, data I entered into 0.25E still seems to be there when I open it again.
Are there rogue registry entries? - shouldn't be because I use the portable install option.

[IDEA] "Sort sub-items... etc." in Properties pane fields' context menu

[IDEA] "Sort sub-items... etc." in Properties pane fields' context menu
 
I often want to sort sub-items by a field which is not showing in the grid. I was hoping this could be done via the properties pane.
 
Could "Sort sub-items ascending" (etc) be shown in the context menu of fields in the Properties pane? This would then sort the sub-items of the item currently 'displayed' in the properties pane
 
I guess (in theory) it should only show when an item is selected which actually has sub-items (or maybe I'm being too perfectionistic?)
 

Context menu "Sort sub-items ascending/descending" also shows all sub-items (M)

This is an old bug.
When I click on "Sort sub-items ascending/descending" from the context menu in the grid, not only does it sort subs but it also shows all sub-items (i.e. : Even those who shouldn't appear in the grid for various filters reasons...)

Fall cleaning...

Submitted by Armando on 2010/11/07 19:11
Lots of bugs appear in the "What's New" page.
No worries : most aren't new...  Only, I've done some Fall cleaning so that Pierre can make better use of Mantis.
 
So, for the next 2 weeks, after discussing it briefly with Pierre, I'm going to try this strategy (for future bugs and suggestions only...
