[rel] Gmail Notifier Plus for Windows 7

[daty2k1]

Where do i go to clear the program cache? because even when i close it and then open it the window with login doesnt appear

Go to the C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Gmail Notifier Plus and delete the xml file :)

I like this. You should make the icon turn blue though when there is unread mail in the inbox, or at least make it an option.

I would but changing the icon has no effect if you have the application pinned :(

actually i think its just a bug in Win7 lol.. coz other programs don't have the jumplist working properly either.. i just found out that it's supposed to keep track of your latest opened file in the jumplist, but for some reason it seems that the jumplist is disabled.. screenshot:

EDIT:

OK! i got it i think!

This worked for me:

1. Right click on Windows Orb

2. Click on Properties

3. Click on Start Menu tab

4. Make sure Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar is checked

5. Then click on Customize

6. Make sure Number of recent items to display in Jump Lists is however many unread emails you want to have shown in jump list!

7. Click on OK then again on OK

if the problem is solved for others using this solution, i guess its not a bug after all lol :p

Wow so it would be a Windows 7 bug after all. I'll try to tell the people I know that have this issue and see if it's working as well. Thanks :)

Does anyone have the problem where this app doesn't seem to start checking mail until you "run" it,

on forcing it to check mail i get a warning about the publisher not being verified. Once i've ok's this, i'm then fine, but each time i turn om my computer i have to do this first before it seems to work.

Can i add it to some kind of allowed list somewhere?

omg that fixed my problem. you are a god (for today)

and i use IE and the links to 'read mail' and 'compose mail' take me to my inbox instead.

I've personally just added an entry into the registry so that it starts whenever I log in.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Run

1. Right Click White Space -> New -> String Value
2. Name = Gmail Notifier Plus
3. Right click Gmail Notifier Plus -> Modify
4. Value Data = Wherever you have the *.EXE residing on your HD

This way it's always checking for mail while i'm logged into my user account.

Seriously - thanks for the effort that's gone into this... it is enjoyed and appreciated!

I realise others have probably made similar comments, but there's only two improvements I could suggest;

1. the option to sit in the system tray (or notification area)

2. the ability to alert on labelled items that skip the inbox (this could be still done through the RSS url right?)

Not that it's particularly important in my application, but would be a great addition to an awesome app!

Cheers

For everyone with the jump list issue, make sure you have this option checked (thanks thehosh for figuring this out):

It's only a workaround for now and hopefully it will be fixed in the next version of the API.

I can confirm that there is a bug with IE when clicking on "Compose mail". I'll try to fix it in the next version.

I'd like to translate this tool in italian :)

Please give me instructions to perform translation ;)

Thanks :) I'd like to try to stabilize the features before adding more languages. Otherwise I'll have to bug everyone each time I need to add new text. I'll let you know once I'm ready for that.

Perfect, keep me informed :)

If you want someone to translate it to French or Brazilian Portuguese, let me know.

Hands down to you for this amazing little app. (Y)

French is already in there since that's my mother tongue :)

[Krpano]

eheh.....damn, how did i miss that ?....... :-)

[Scorbing]

If you need spanish translation let me know dude.

Never mind that issue with not honoring default browser. User error. Thanks again for a great little app.

[xStylezx]

I cant in any way access the change account settings, it shows in the popup view, but when i click it nothing happens. I wanted to change it because i typed @gmail.com in the first box

same problem here. i believe its being worked on

[Xenochria]

This looks great and I'd love to use it, but the unread mail counter is minuscule and there's no notification when you get a new email, which is a dealbreaker. I'll stick to the official GMail notifier until that's fixed.

[gescom]

Receiving and viewing messages within the notifier works fine, but whenever I click a link that is supposed to deliver me to my web browser I get this error message: "There was a problem sending the command to the program."

I can do a hebrew translation if needed.

[jynxdaddy]

Cool program.

Would it be possible to add an option to not use the auth URL?

It puts your password at the end of the URL in plain text, so it shows up in your history and who knows where else.

The URL the RSS feed gives you is what I'd rather use.

Installed latest, if it had Google Chat integration, it would be the end all for people using Google Chat to keep in tou..oh hell with it. LoL -uninstalls Google Talk, uses a multi-chat client- There, you got me off of Google Talk, atleast on Windows 7.

[hannubys]

Also it will be good to optmize the application because it use 11Mo that is not good.

[willum]

Hi,

Fantastic app, really impressed. Just wondering if you have any timescales for when the multiple account support will be introduced as i would love that feature

[Lienex]

Nice work!

First of all, if it wasn't already mentioned, the count of unread messages isn't displayed when small icons are activated.

Furthermore I could provide a german translation :)

[ShadowsXYZ]

I would totally kill for a "Mark All As Read" option. Hell, I even signed up and posted for that. xP

[rhumbus]

This app is great.

thank you very much for your nice work!

I wanted to ask - is there any way I can make Gmail open mail in PRISM instead of in my default browser (firefox)?
