#3 File naming, new popup reminder

[Dale Gunnells]

I would like for the names of the files in the Scheduled
Tasks folder to reflect the action the file will take.
Example: If a message is to be diplayed like "Mary's
Birthday Today", then it would be much easier to
manage the reminders if the file name would be
something like "Phatsoft TMR - Mary's Birthday
Today". I realize I can do this manually, but it is a
pain. Also I just downloaded the new version, where
the popups come up from the bottom of the screen; 2
problems: they stay on top of other windows; and it is
hard to read the messages with the small font and the
grey background. With the old version you could
continue with your work and leave the reminder behind
all other windows. Now if you want to keep the
reminder, you have to reschedule it, another pain. I
know it sounds like I am complaining, but I really do
like your product and appreciate the work you do. I
am just putting in my two cents worth. Thanks.
Oh, one more thing, can you put the time and date on
the popup, ex: 14:21 06/02/03 Reminder message.
Thanks again.

Thank you for writing, and for your suggestion!

1. A reminder is intended to remind something, so it has to
be visible and on top (also if you're watching a divx, or playing
quake) As micro$oft use to say on bug reports: This is by
design ;-)

2. I'll use a larger font in the next version, but I'm also trying
to implement a full skinnable interface for popus, so I hope
someday you'll have the choice between a lot of skins, with
less or more intrusive reminders..

3. Date on the popup... mmhh.. ok.. thank you!

4. About the tasks name.. It will be a bit more difficult, but I'll
think about it..

Write me your opinions! (love betatesters)

For me message on top is OK, maybe better is ability to
configure this option.
