Discovering Notes 8: More spill-over from Eclipse


What’s going on? Well that’s the question… Did you notice the animated gif in the lower-right corner of your Notes 8 client that looks like this:

It is the new progress tab and by clicking on the orange ball you can get the progress bar to display in full screen mode like shown below. The cool thing is that you can see all the different operations that may be occurring at any one time. In this example below I’m only replicating but you can see that I just finished copying a database as well. In previous releases you only had the one progress bar at the bottom which meant that you couldn’t see simultaneous operations.

If you click “Show” in the upper right corner of the tab, select Preference there’s even more fun to be had… 🙂

  2. Yeah, I just ran into this one the other day as well.  Got bored waiting for a database to copy and wound up clicking down there.  Pretty cool.

  3. I beg to differ. At least in version 6.5, you can refresh the design of several databases, and the progress bar shows a triangle. Click it, and up pop several progress bars.
