  • HTML and PDF export now adds start and end time to entries
  • Und/Redo operations are now cleared when creating a new database or loading a file

Project Calculator 1.8.1 released

Fixed error with PayPal button

The PayPal button did not work due to a copy/paste error.

Project Calculator 2 pre ordering

The next release will be Project Calculator 2. As announced, Project Calculator will be shareware as of release 2.0. It will then cost $14.90.
As a special offer you can pre order Project Calculator 2 for only $4.90 (you will save $10!). This includes participation in the beta test and free updates for all 2.x versions.

Project Calculator 1.8 released

Project Calculator 1.8 was released today. The main features are:

* Additional export types
* Full Undo/Redo support for all actions
* Updated online help with new design
* Italian localization

Feature page updated

The feature page was updated with some screenshots.

The Future of Project Calculator

I just wanted to let you know that I'm currently working on the 1.8 release of Project Calculator. Its main feature will be better export capability. You will be able to export to HTML, PDF, CSV and plain text. Other things on my list: New online help design (simple style, smaller download), printing, full Undo/Redo support, Spotlight integration (still have to check if this is usefull for Project Calculator). Project Calculator 1.8 should be out sometime in October.

Since this project is taking so much time, Project Calculator will become shareware starting with release 2.0. I plan the shareware fee to be $14.90 which I think is fair.

Just a short summary of the planned features for 2.x: Alerts, file attachments, filters, searching, customers, different stlyes for PDF and HTML export with the possibility to create own styles, project deadlines... If you need a feature, post it in the "Feature Requests" section in the forums.
