“Erk”, is all I can say right now. Please read on!

Yesterday I started to spot forum/email and chat messages indicating a new Gmail change sweeping through the userbase. The problem was most irritatingly manifesting itself as the Welcome screen reappearing. With the help of Harvey Bock, Frank Schneider and as ever, Paul Thompson aka Captbunzo (who went as far as to give me access to his Gmail, which was key in fixing the problems!), the Welcome screen issue is now resolved.

So that’s the good. The bad is, it would appear that for the most part, Preview/Auto-Label has died. I’m not sure why this is yet, but I’ll begin looking into this in earnest over the coming days. I’m concerned, though, that it is serious, ugly even….

You see GTDInbox 2.1 has been steadily progressing for over a month now. It’s much much more useful, but it relies more heavily than ever on close access to Gmail. I’m deeply unsettled that the thing that has broken 2.0.8.2 has broken 2.1, and isn’t in anyway easy to remedy :(

So here we are. Please download 2.0.8.4 to deal with the Welcome Screen, and wish me luck while I set about figuring out how to resurrect Preview/Auto-Label and ultimately 2.1.

    Andy,

    I installed 2.0.8.4 and the Welcome Screen issue seems solved. The Preview/Auto-Label is working perfectly - better, as I do not have to reload the page twice to get preview to work.

    I am using Firefox 3 on an Intel Mac and regular gmail (not for apps).

    I will provide any other information that you might want - just email me.

    Thanks,

    Larry

    Just wanted to drop in and mention that your response times are amazing and that we all really appreciate your hard work! Every time I encounter a bug I seem to jump into the blog or forum and found you’ve already fixed it!

    I for one really depend on GTDInbox and am completely lost without it. Great work, Andy! :-)

    Andy,

    Do you have a paypal account? I would be lost without GTDInbox and have decided that a small donation each time you save my butt would be a good idea. I cannot offer much but a couple dollars never hurts!
