Category: Pagico 10 Release Notes

Greetings everyone! Today we are excited to announce the October 2022 Update for Pagico. In this release, we are introducing a redesigned day planning view “The Today View”, along with a slew of improvements. With these enhancements, getting work done in Pagico is guaranteed to be more pleasant than ever.

The Redesigned Day Planning View

The Today view has been completely redesigned to let you not only focus on the current day, but also do so in an enjoyable environment.

You can select from a collection of awesome backgrounds, or supply your own! Pagico will automatically detect the image’s brightness and render your content in the correct shade.

With personalized background, your database lock screen will also look more awesome than ever.

Besides the personalizable background, the redesigned Today view also brings a lot of additional super powers! For instance, the order of your custom-arranged tasks for the next day will be preserved when you get there, making it easy to do task pre-plannings. In addition, your Today/Tomorrow task arrangements are synced across your computers automatically over the cloud.

UI Simplification

Many parts of the Pagico UI has been simplified to give you more space, more of your content, and less unnecessary complexity. For example, the create-new actions and template actions on the Dashboard have been removed, so you’ll have more space for your pinned items. To access the create-new and template actions, simply use the improved universal add-new button, like this:

Greetings! Today we are excited to announce the September 2022 Update for Pagico, bringing two new features and bug fixes. With this update, you can now turn your lists into pipelines, and make file snapshots with ease! Read on to learn more.

New: List-to-Pipelines

With this feature, your work progress is intuitively visualized, making it easier than ever to know where you are and stay on-track.

New: File Snapshotting and Versioning

You can now make snapshots for file objects. Here’s how this feature works:

Each time a snapshot is made, Pagico will also bump the version number of your document, making it easy to identify the various versions of the same file.

Other Improvements

This version also includes the following changes:

• New: Introduced an Extra Small font size choice
• New in r20220915: Fixed an issue where recently renamed contacts may continue to show up in their old names in the tabs bar
• Fixed an issue where contacts created via templates may not carry the correct names
• Fixed an issue where newly inserted items may show up at the end of a container in some cases
• Improved the copy-as-plaintext feature for lists to properly support indentations and due date displays

That’s all we have for now. We hope you’ll like this new release as much as we do. Thank you all for providing your feedback to us, and for choosing Pagico!

Special Note for Ubuntu Users

The download page still serves packages for Ubuntu 20.xx and 21.xx only. If you are on Ubuntu 22.04, please click here to download this update.

Greetings everyone! Today we are excited to release Pagico 10 (rev. 20220817). This release brings a number of under-the-hood improvements, with the most notable being an enhanced data sync process. Here’s the gist: Pagico should now complete data sync cycles much faster than before, especially in complex teams. Coupled with the newly released Pagico Mobile 7.5, your data sync experience should be much better than before.

Changes

• New in r20220817: Easier “Quick Add” action for list items and notes
• New in r20220817: Fixed an issue where notes couldn’t be archived in some cases
• New in r20220817: The launch screen now also supports dark mode (when needed)
• New “Quick CatchUp” data sync method should complete data sync cycles much faster than before
• Moving an item out of the trash to a selected container will now work as expected
• Fixed some issues with moving lists and list items
• Fixed an issue where assigning categories to individual tasks may set the category for the whole list
• Fixed a project list rendering issue when certain tags are involved

New: Quick Add

It’s now easier than ever to create follow-up tasks, or import file attachments to tasks and notes. Need to expand a task into a full-blown project, or add a file to a task? It now takes just a few clicks.

Update for Ubuntu Users

We are aware of the fact that Pagico 10 isn’t compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 at the moment. Due to the breaking changes introduced in this newer OS, we may have to offer Pagico builds for 21.xx and 22.xx users separately, which could be confusing and inconvenient. We are working to solve this issue and hopefully we’ll be able to provide one build for all Ubuntu users. We’ll keep you posted.

Getting the Update

Please head over to the Downloads section to grab this update. This update is free for all Pagico users with a valid service plan (Personal Premium or team plans).

Hi all, we hope your summer is going well! Today we are making a small release that addresses a few underline issues that negatively affect user experience. Update: A new release was made on July 27, 2022 addressing a few additional issues.

Bug Fixes

• New in r20220728: Fixed an issue where manual order of list may not be saved correctly in certain cases
• New in r20220727: Improved the stability when moving data objects across containers
• New in r20220727: Fixed an issue where the second column of the Today view may not show up on Surface Studio Pro systems
• New in r20220727: Promoted the visibility of the Calendar Connection option in the Preferences section
• Fixed an issue where assigning a category to an individual list item may end up assigning the category to the whole list in certain cases

Getting the Update

Please visit our Download section to get the update. Thank you all for choosing Pagico, and have a great summer!

This month, we focused primarily on improving the user experience with the recently-introduced Kanban project browser. Now you can create new project categories right in the Kanban board with just a few clicks. We also improved the printing capability slightly, so when you’re printing the dashboard calendar or timeline, the print view will no longer include the Pinned Items and Quick Actions section.

The June release also included a few under-the-hood bug fixes to improve the overall stability of Pagico, including:

• Fixed an issue where bulk actions on list items may not be rendered correctly even though the changes are indeed saved
• Adjusted the default value for the option Auto-Archive for Tasks to Off to reduce confusion (note: this only affects new users)
• The following are new on June 21:
• Fixed an issue where the email property in contacts may not be rendered as expected in some cases
• Fixed an issue where certain hyper links couldn’t be opened by clicking in some cases
• Fixed an issue where individual tasks may appear to be listed under a different list in timeline views
• Fixed an issue where renaming a contact may not cause the tab bar to re-render with the new name
• Added week numbers to the timeline view

Getting the Update

Greetings everyone! We are excited to announce the 2022 May update of Pagico 10. In this version, we implemented a new metadata panel for both projects, unified the sidebar design across projects and contacts, and a slew of feature improvements that enhance your user experience.

Metadata for Projects

You can now put in metadata for projects in the form of key-value pairs. For instance, for a home renovation project, you can define the following properties:

Budget: $20,000
Contractor: John Smith
Cell: 123-4567890

You can use any type key that makes sense to you, and Pagico will let you save any single-line text value for the metadata properties.

Browse Projects by Metadata

Entering information is just one part of the equation. Once you have metadata properties configured, you can enable the “Auto-Grouping” feature on keys of interest, so Pagico can sort your projects based on the values of these keys.

Once a key has the Auto-Grouping is enabled, the key will become available under the Projects section, like this:

Unified Experience

Since not every project would involve metadata properties, the metadata panel can be collapsed to save space. This new metadata panel design is also applied to contacts, so you’ll have a consistent user experience no matter if you’re working with projects or contacts.

Improved Kanban Project Browser

The kanban project browser also received some improvements, too! You can now fold categories to so you can see more categories while saving space.

Other User Experience Improvements

• You can now add projects (or contacts) to collections using the container-level menu command
• The Copy-to/Move-to menu command now shows both starred items and recent items as destination shortcuts
• Better blank-state onboarding designs

Availability

The Pagico 10 May Update is a free update to all with an active software update coverage. If your Pagico service has already expired, you can try the new version using the Free Trial option, or purchase a service plan if you like to keep the update (and to support the continuous development of Pagico).

Pagico 10 is compatible with the following platforms:

• macOS 10.12 – macOS 12 Monterey, with native Intel and M1 support
• Windows 7 or later, both 32-bit and 64-bit
• Ubuntu 19.04 or later*, 64-bit only.
  • * Not compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 yet. We are working on this.

You can download the update from our Downloads section.

Greetings! As you know, we continuously develop Pagico to include new features and bug fixes. For April of 2022, we have exciting new features to further boost your productivity:

Kanban-Style Project Browser

We created a Kanban-style project browser that allows you to easily see projects by categories, and set categories via drag-and-drop. This browser can be accessed by clicking on the “Projects” item from the sidebar. What’s also new here, is that this view will now only show you the most recent 30 projects and their categories.

With this project browser, it makes it easy to oversee projects across workflow phases, such as “Active”, “Completed”, and perhaps “Behind”. Then, you can see your projects listed under the respective “bins”, and move them across bins by simply drag and drop.

To maximize flexibility, the kanban-style project browser is not only available for you to browse all your projects, but also in collections and teams! This makes it easier for you to group multiple projects together into “mega” projects and use the kanban browser to manage projects in that scope.

Custom Project Icons

Previously, all projects are treated the same — they all have the same “document” icon. With this newer version, you get to select new icons for your projects!

Simply go to a project, then click on the “Icon” button to make your selection.

Under-the-hood Improvements

• New in r20220416: Fixed an issue where the category assignment for list items may not save as expected in certain cases
• New in r20220416: Fixed an issue where inline links may be rendered repeatedly on certain systems
• Fixed an issue where the content list view in Teams may repeatedly refresh
• Fixed an issue where the Teams -> Activity Feed may render changes incorrectly
• Fixed an issue where renaming projects may not trigger the correct cache update process
• Fixed an issue here project category assignments could not be cleared in certain cases
• Fixed an issue where the collections sidebar list may not refresh as expected when new collections are added
• Fixed an issue where moving a list some times may trigger the “unable to convert to plaintext” error
• Fixed an issue where multiple inline links in the same data object may cause rendering issues
• Fixed an issue where an at-capacity team may prevent data sync even if the sync capacity has been increased
• Fixed an issue where the date labels for task groups on timeline views may be rendered incorrectly
• Other minor UI issues
