Working with V8.5 now
Category 8.5
I'm working with 8.5 since a few days now and here is what i can say:
Pros:
Great UI, a real refresh if you're used to work with 6.5 or 7. This UI only available on the full eclipse client but for many computer it will be good.
I love the plugins or widgets. Currently using : twitnotes and openntf recent (but does not work since i upgrade the 8.0.2 client to 8.5 fp1). I use Activities too (with a connection to bleedyellow).
other things will follow.
Cons: (in fact bugs i hope)
The Quota bar does not always appears:
(here you can see my old 6.5.4 on the old server, design 6.5)
Same thing on a 8.5 mail file (ods 51) on a 8.5fp1 server.
Icons were boring me (they appear and disappear when i open a mail, a view,...), changing the height of the toolbar constantly, until i unchecked the first line:
and now, all my toolbars always appear.
Html emails: So slow to open...more than 4 minutes sometimes. (a quick tips: check "do not use embedded browser for mime emails"). Internet explorer fault or lotus fault ?
many things will follow.
Designer:
Well, so many things to learn again before being able to use what seems to be a great tool.
Actually trying to deal with Xpage, but i'm lost....
