Hello Dan !

Thanks for the new year gift !

By the way, I don't know if it's due to my installation method (replacing all the file by those of the new final version), but it still show 7.1 RC3 in the Help > About TodoList menu ...

Am I wrong ?

Happy new year to you !

[Pierre de la Verre]

The "Long Version" shows 314 entries: three - one - four ......
Now imagine how long it take to add / fix / modify one single "entry" to the software.

Thanks you Dan for the great effort and the great results of ToDoList!

Pierre

[Paul Spaven]

Hello Dan

thank you for making such a good software.

Some text translation can not be displayed correctly.

For example: "ToDoList was unable to install the'.tdl'extension handler.\n\nYou may need to run ToDoList with administrator privileges to install the handler.\n\nOnce installed you can then revert to your original security settings." with the TDLTransEdit.exe editor for the Chinese, is still showing English.

Please help confirm, thank you
