Beta testers needed

for a desktop address book widget

Saturday, March 26, 2005 by paxx | Discussion: DesktopX

I am on the final tweaks of a desktop address book widget I've been working on for the past few weeks. Here is a preliminary screenshot:
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

It includes a larger view for more details about the contact, of course an edit/add contact dialog, a search function, etc. It's a standalone address book, as it doesn't integrate with any other software. But I did program an import feature that will import from a LDIF file. LDIF export is available from Mozilla or Netscape adress books. I have no plans to inclide an Outlook import tool.

I will probably be ready to send it to beta testers in a couple of days. I just want to fix a few last things here and there first. Would anybody be interested into beta testing it then? I'd like to have a few people test it on different machines before I make it totally public on WC.

Just post here if you're interested. The only requirement is that you have DesktopX 3. Thanks.

Update: I have most of the bugs fixed I think, and most of the most needed features. Now, I just got the crazy idea of making the thing skinnable. So that's what I'm working on right now. Hehehe! Kinda cool.

That's a good idea. No need for an endless number of the same object just with different graphics like with alot of the rest you find here. Are you going to add some more skins then for the release?

thomassen: I don't know, maybe I'll supply a dummy skin to use as a guide to make further skins. Maybe some beta testers would like to make some skins after I send the next beta with the dummy skin?

Hi!
I think it's work just fine! I am trying the Rolodex 3! Have you come any closer to come up with some skin? But I think it's allright the way it appears anyway!
Thanks for leting me try it out!!

The project is on standby for the moment for lack of time. Will go back to it as soon as I can.
