Minor GMinder Update – Connectivity Testing

GMinder trys to ping www.google.com prior to downloading events. If ECHO is disabled on your network (possibly blocked by your admin), then events will not be downloaded even if your calendars can be downloaded. With GMinder v1.2.8, an option has been added to enable/disable the connectivity test. To skip the ping, go into Options and uncheck “Test connectivity before downloading events”.

EDIT: Version 1.2.8 used some faulty logic when deciding if it should ping. It has been quickly replaced by 1.2.9. I apologize for the mistake, please download the new version.

GMinder v1.2.7 – Add Events and Proxy Support

I released a new version (1.2.7) of GMinder today, with the following improvements:

  • Ability to add events to your calendars (Thanks to Dan at rowdypixel.com for getting this started!)
  • Improved Google authentication
  • Automatic proxy configuration
  • “Always on Top” option for the reminder window

The new Quick Add feature
GMinder-Add

I recommend installing this new version, especially if a previous version had given you trouble.

Thank you for all your suggestions and feedback!
