Panda Bear - a Boon for Quickr Users from SNAPPS

There are dozens of links to this already, however just in case you don't follow the Notes Yellow Blogs.. This is just out from those awfully nice people at SNAPPS
Panda Bear which is a nice alternative to the "Quickr Connectors" supplied with Quickr and because it is an ADOBE Air App, much less
intrusive when installed on your PC.

I was lucky enough to have been using it for a while now, the folks at SNAPPS called it "testing" .. but I managed not to break it, which for me is strange and for Panda Bear a ringing endorsement of it's stability and fragility.

If you have a mainly file share Quickr Installation and need a quick and easy method of getting files into and out of your Quickr Places, Panda bear is the tool for you.

Take a trip over to the SNAPPS site and check out and A+ Gold Star cracking app!

Danger Danger Will Robinson! Upgrading to the V8.5 when you have QuickR 8.0.0.2 connectors installed

A word of caution for anyone thinking of moving from Notes 8.0.2 client to the new 8.5 client if you have Quickr Connectors installed.

This occurred today and I have tried it on two PC's and the same symptoms appeared on both installs.

The Enviroment :-

OSs: XP Pro & Vista HP
Notes Client Before: Notes 8.0.2
Notes Client After: Notes 8.5.0
Quickr Server: 8.0.0.2
Quickr Connectors Before: buildnumber=ORC8.0.1 buildtime=20071002.0115

The Problem :-
Post install V8.5 when you try to attach a file to a Notes Document in the Client the client will crash just before the appearance of the Quickr Dialog that prompts you to choose between sending the attachment or sending a link. This crash will happen in both Standard and Basic client mode.

Oddly this does NOT happen on a clean install of the Notes 8.5 client.

Removing Quickr Connectors makes the problem go away, reinstalling the *.0115 quickr connector makes the problem come back.

Quickr V8 Standard problem with Connectors and saving Excel files from an LS Script

Gentle reader this is a bit of an esoteric problem but a problem just the same.
The new Quickr standard connection utilities are a real boon and appear to work really well, however this came to light today and so far I have been able to duplicate the problem on PC's with both the Eclipse and standard Notes Clients installed but only with OFFICE 2003 so far.

Symptom:

In Notes Applications that use LS to access MS Office classes. If you programmaticaly open and populate an excel spreadsheet, when you come to save the excel file with
call xlSheet.SaveAs(strOutputFileName)
You get an MS Excel error "Cannot complete operation" and the save fails.

Uninstall Quickr connections the problem goes away, install it again and the
problem comes back. I have tried this on several PC's with the same results.

So next quandary ...where do you report Quickr-connector problems?
