Если более конкретно, например, прописать во все выбранные виды (или все виды БД) в Querypaste строчку Continue=False. Или поменять автоматически какой-то символ в формулах колонок на другой. Или ещё более продвинуто, найти одинковые или почти одинаковые колонки и сделать из них shared columns. Ну или хотя бы вывести категоризированный список видов по колонкам, чтобы понять в каких видах есть похожие колонки, чтобы самому уже потом сделать из них shared columns. Просто дофига видов, нужно навести порядок. Думаю, что если такой проги нет, то она, возможно, бы пользовалась спросом, так как полно есть приложений на Lotus Notes со множеством видов, где можно было бы навести порядок.
This weekend we stayed in an "aparthotel" for the second time in as many months. Until we booked the first stay I'd never heard of them. They're city-based apartments for rent by the night, much like a hotel, with a reception etc. The difference is you get two bedrooms and a separate living room/kitchen. The kitchen has a cooker, microwave and dishwasher.
If you have to take a family of five away with you (we were at a wedding in Newcastle) then having separate rooms makes it bearable, whereas doing the same in a conventional hotel is nothing short of a nightmare. From now on I don't think I'll stay anywhere else with the kids. We got the double room apartment on Friday for £120, so not that much more than a basic room in a city centre hotel.
Anyway, I mention it for two reasons. First to hopefully enlighten you guys. I guess you all knew about them, but if not, they're worth looking in to next time you're away with family or friends. The other reason is that I just had to pass on an example of terrible UI design from the website of the one we stayed in on Friday night, Kensington House.
Looking for a map I looked at their contact page and saw this. See if you can see anything odd:
It took me a while to work out that the weird "garbage" in the contact form was in fact a CAPTCHA. Can you see it? If you pull your head back and squint you can just about make out that it says 8+9=. The white box to the right of it must be an input field.
It sticks out like a saw thumb. No less so because the site itself and the place it represents is going for the "swanky" look. This is what happens when you let a geek design part of the UI. I can imagine he feels fairly smug at having written such a clever spam blocker, but what about the poor user?!
I've said before and I'll say again - in my opinion spam is not the user's problem and so they should not be the one made to pay. That's why all spam blocking measures on this site are back-end. Not making the user pay is all the more important if the contact form is on a company website. If you run a company surely you want to make it as easy as possible for potential customers to make contact. Why make them jump through hoops!?
The other reason for this post is because it's Monday morning after the break and I need to ease myself back in to office work nice and slow.
We've compiled our most-viewed Lotus Notes/Domino coding and development tips of 2008. Discover how to use LotusScript to sort a document selection, programmatically replace the design of a Lotus Notes database, clear a local cache using LotusScript and more here. You'll see why these development tips caught our readers' eyes in 2008.
This being the year of the "credit crunch" Karen and I have decided to take our finances a little more seriously and break the habit of just spending whatever we have. We've needed to do this for a while, really, but the "economic downturn" has made the need all the more prescient.
Phase 1 was to go on "spending lockdown" which we did in the last quarter of 2008. It's working well - not spending money. It's actually quite nice. Soul-cleansing in fact. We now think about purchases and only buy what we really need rather than just getting whatever we want.
Phase 2 is to analyse where the money we do spend is actually going. For a while now we've felt a bit like the amount coming in to the house does not equal the conceived amount going added to the feeling of remaining "wealth", negative or otherwise. We literally can't work out where it all goes.
Not that I am that naive. I know all too well that lots of seemingly small amounts soon add up to a big total. A hundred pounds here, a hundred pound there. It soon adds up to a thousand. Likewise, the thousands soon add up.
Anyway, what I want to show you is the tool we're going to use to analyse outgoings. You'll be pleased to hear I chose to record everything in a Notes database! I've set it up so that Karen has a bookmark on her browser to a webpage where she can easily input her expenditure each night. Surprisingly, she's "on board" and as keen as I am to make a go of it.
Here's the database we're using to record where every penny goes. That's just a dummy copy though. You can mess about with it as much as you like.
For now it's just a simple app that lets us enter the data. To come is the analysis - with pie charts, monthly drilldowns, etc etc.
Most of you will probably know what I used to build the app as soon as you see it. For the rest of you it's called Flex and I'll talk more about it in my next post. if anybody wants a copy of the DB to start recording their own outgoings let me know (all you need is to plonk it on your own secure server somewhere).
I would like a propery for NotesUIDocument IsValid that is the equivalent of @isvalid in formula language i.e. returns true if all the input validation formulas return True.
I would like a propery for NotesUIDocument IsValid that is the equivalent of @isvalid in formula language i.e. returns true if all the input validation formulas return True.
I would like to be able to call NotesUIDocument.close with a parameter that means that the user won't get the 'Do you want to save' message. This message is not always appropriate if this is a cancel button or if you are trying to close a new document post open because some of the fields have values that show that the user did not have the correct document selected when they created the new document.
The workaround is to use script to add a field called SaveOptions with the value of "0".
This works, but it would be a lot nicer if we could have either a property like "isDirty" that we can set to true or false OR an optional arguement for Uidoc.close OR a new method (probably easier as won't impact existing code) such as NotesUIDocument.closewithoutsave.
I would like a 'My Ideas' link once you've logged in so you can quickly see all the ideas you've posted, the number of votes and the number of comments.
At the moment I have to search for my name and the search results dont show the votes, so you then have to go into and out of each idea to view.
This would make it much easier to keep an eye on contributions.
You could also have another link for 'My comments' that shows all your comments?
How many times have you reminded your colleagues who do not use Domino Administrator so frequently (I'm being polite and sensitive) that they need to go to "Administration | Refresh Server List | Current / All Domains" in order for them to be able to see the new servers that have been recently installed.
Surely such a refresh could be scheduled, or just take place automatically in the background?
BTW - this may be already in 8, if so I apologise!

The SMTP listener task is currently limited to listening on one port and one port only, which is set in the SMTP_Port field on the server document. This being a single value field, it is not possible to allow a server to listen on both 25 (for message transfer) and 587 (for message submission),
I think three of the greatest tools in the Lotus Community are IdeaJam, OpenNTF and Planet Lotus. Wouldn't it be great if the IdeaJam and OpenNTF Feeds were on Planet Lotus?
I by no means want to step on any of the creators toes and certainly understand space/design limitations. Perhaps there are other limitations about which I am unaware.
However, since PL is the "Time Square of the Lotus World," wouldn't it be nice to have signposts to these two corners from PL?
I believe a column on the IdeaJam site where you can see which idea's have made it to a new release would demonstrate that it is not useless to spit our your thoughts where the products lack but it can contribute to a better product indeed.
A user creates a repeating meeting directly in the Lotus Notes calendar and adds a room reservation that ends in 2013. The user leaves the company and the administrator wants to delete all instances of the reservation at one time. However, every entry must be deleted one at a time.
When opening your Lotus Notes mail file or a folder in your mail, you receive the error, "Illegal circular USE: DocExpProcessing," multiple times. What does this mean?
Did you know that the database icon note of all Notes databases contains more data than just the icon? The easiest way to access the database icon note is via the special NoteID "FFFF0010". Here are
