Happy to say that we've just released SnappFiles
1.0.6 with some fixes to issues introduced by either Apple's iOS5 or IBM
Lotus Quickr 8.5.1. For the new year, we've addressed all of the reproducible
problems reported in Q4, leaving enhancements for the next round. Well,
all but one!
What's been fixed?
Crash after entering password if no
password was stored (iOS5 issue)
Crash deleting stored server information
(iOS5 issue)
Crash opening attachment from checked-out
document (Quickr 8.5 issue)
Documents with multiple attachments
now displayed in folders (Quickr 8.5 issue) -- the "new" feature
now that we have the right API doc!
Thanks to everyone who has provided
feedback and helped support further development!

New Kid on the Social Block
Wed, May 22nd 2013 3:30p Rob Novak To say Jerald Mahurin is a “new kid” is a bit misleading. Heck, he’s older than me and I’m practically antediluvian. However after nearly 20 years in the industry, having been my instructor when I first learned LotusScript in 1995, then with SNAPPS for the past ten years and currently its Vice President, it’s my pleasure to welcome Jerald to the not-so-yellow-verse community of IBM Collaboration Solutions bloggers.
His first article is a tutorial-level undertaking, [read] Keywords: collaboration

SnappLinks for IBM Connections adds SlideShare support
Mon, May 13th 2013 12:30p Rob Novak Not long ago we announced SnappLinks for IBM Connections, a set of social link helper plugins for IBM Connections. This week we’re adding a new plugin to the mix, one to embed SlideShare presentations. You’ve seen them all over the web on blogs and articles, and now it’s a matter of a couple clicks to add them to your Connections Blos and Wikis.
Here’s a video introducing them where I grab my IBM Connect 2013 presentation and embed it in my Connections wiki. The video is [read] Keywords: connections

Update on Quickr: Life Support
Sat, Apr 13th 2013 9:20a Rob Novak Last month I shared some of my views on the apparent “death” of Quickr (hint: it’s not dead). As many of you know IBM has withdrawn Quickr from marketing effective April 12. The IBM endorsed upgrade path and in fact entitlement goes to Connections Content Manager 4.5 and includes a full license of Connections 4.5. That in itself is a bargain. However there are many situations where due to custom functionality, a growing user base, infrastructure, training, or some other reason [read] Keywords: connections

IamLUG: Still a few slots left!
Thu, Apr 11th 2013 9:50a Rob Novak IamLUG, the largest user group meeting in the US for IBM collaboration professionals and users, is happening May 6-7 in St Louis. I’ll be there speaking as will Jerald Mahurin from my team. My session “So a gadget and a widget walk into a bar…” is almost done, but I’m still working on the punch line. Of course this is about OpenSocial and iWidgets in IBM Connections. Jerald will be taking the stage on IBM Connections user interface design – themes and more.

Sticking with Quickr a While? Some Suggestions
Thu, Feb 28th 2013 2:40p Rob Novak As you contemplate the document-management-collaboration-teamspace-workflow-process world in the coming months and years, it’s likely that many of you will want to wring everything you can out of your investment over the past 14 years (that’s right, 1999) in Lotus Quickr and its previous married and maiden names.
I’ve heard from companies who are planning to migrate to Connections Content Manager 4.5 (coming soon to a server near…me), and some that plan to migrate in and [read] Keywords: collaboration

Lotus Quickr is only Mostly Dead
Tue, Feb 19th 2013 11:00a Rob Novak So you’ve heard by now that Lotus Quickr is dead. Doornail, zombie, Betamax, rotary dial, dead. Somebody came back from what used to be called Lotusphere, said there were no sessions, saw a tweet and now has you scrambling for an answer to the pressing, urgent, mission critical need to provide a replacement. Dead, I say!
“Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. [read] Keywords: connections
