Just wanted to tell you that after the last update, Dateline shows as a blank process in Activity monitor. No icon or no text...

It also seems to suddenly jump in memory usage. Jumped from 13 to 60mb...

Don´t know if this a bug with Dateline or if it´s something with iCal.
When filtering iCal events in Dateline I have a bunch of old calendars that I can´t remove...
Would´ve been nice to be able to remove them ;)

We have to review a lot of clips in succession at lower than that speed, and it would be great if we didn't have to reset the speed each time a new clip was played, or when we jump ahead in a clip using the drag bar.]]>

Love Dateline but it's ramping up memory usage like nothing on earth - after about 10 minutes worth of use it's using over a gig of RAM.

[attachment=57]

Ouch! Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong? I have it set up as a "pro" version as I've donated so I am also syncing iCal events from my Exchange calendar and some MobileMe ones, could this be the issue?

Thanks for a great product!

Let me first say, great work with Dateline. I love it!

One of the reasons I use dateline is because it gives me a linear view of the time ahead; at the moment, this is just one month ahead. This macro view is something unique to Dateline and I find it very useful. I use iCal for more micro views such as, daily schedule, appointments. My feature request is related to this use.

I am using Dateline to track milestones up ahead by creating a Milestone calendar in iCal and sync that (among others) with Dateline. This milestone view helps put rest of my tasks and time slots in perspective. For example, if I have a milestone coming up in a week then I can pick and choose which items I would work on or drop out in any given day. At the moment, there are two limitations in Dateline to support to this use well:


Hover-over display of tasks.
Limited visibility up ahead



Hover-over display of tasks:
Instead of having to hover over a date to display the task it would be useful if Dateline can display certain tasks (or calendars) permanently on side/bottom of the corresponding dates. This will help me hover over other dates and see those tasks in perspective with the milestones up ahead. Very useful and no other tool is positioned to do this, AFAIK.

Limited visibility up ahead:
Currently we have only one month visibility up ahead (when 'Today in Centre of Dateline' is enabled). I would like this to be up to a year or at least a quater (3 months) a head.

Hope you understand my use-case and find this feedback/request useful.]]>

Working great, but as mentioned here before by others I believe the memory consumption is a bit high, and some leakage is still around.
I also noticed that the app is crashing, not often though, about once a week. It has started since the last upgrade (ver. 0.870), and has shown two times, see my crash log files attached.
I run my computer as most Mac users (?), e.g. closing the laptop and letting the machine just rest, not turning off. During the time going between the crashes I've noticed memory usage increasing from about 32 MB at start, to about 90-100 MB some time before crash. Apart from these little glitches I think It's a great app really. I have full confidence in you bringing continuos improvements to the app..

Resetting preferences is quick & easy, and can be performed either through the Finder, or via Terminal, as the following 3-step guide details.

Step 1: Quit Dateline

Before deleting the preferences file you must first quit Dateline if it is running. If you are running Dateline without a dock icon, control / right-click on the dateline to bring up the menu and choose 'Quit Dateline'. If you are unable to quit Dateline by this method, you can open Activity Monitor.app ( from /Applications/Utilities/), select Dateline in the list of running apps and use the 'Quit' button to force Dateline to quit.

Step 2: Delete The Preferences File:

In the Finder, go to the folder: '/Home/Library/Preferences/', select the file: 'com.machinecodex.dateline.plist' and move it to the Trash.

Terminal jockeys can type: 'defaults delete com.machinecodex.dateline.plist' followed by the Return key at the command prompt in a new Terminal window.

Step 3: Relaunch Dateline:

When you relaunch Dateline, all user-preferences will be reset to their factory default settings, so you will need to go through the Dateline preferences and set things back the way you had them before, and paid users will also need to re-enter their license details, however hopefully any preferences-related aberrations will have been eliminated.

If problems still persist after resetting preferences in this way then you have probably found a bug, so by all means let us know about the problem either in the forums or via direct email.

Not 100% sure when it happens, but my guess is at the start of a new day. It seems that DateLine no longer talks to iCal once the day refreshes- there's no box around the date, and no interaction when you click the date. Was having this problem before the .861 update as well. Restarting DateLine solves the problem, it works just fine when the program first opens.


Gotta say, I love the program so far. Been looking for a clean way to get iCal reminders on my desktop for a while, and this is the only one that performs like I hoped. Kudos!]]>

For example, a light colour for the dateline might work well for one desktop pic, but be unreadable with another desktop pic.

You could use a simple reversal, luminosity or colour-complement algorithm, coupled with anything else you like, to make sure that no matter what the desktop picture (even one with highly varied colours behind the dateline), all parts maintained a certain amount of contrast and hence readability against the background.]]>
