Sanity Check

(If you don't have hair, substitute whatever equivalent expression would be appropriate e.g. how to avoid unnecessary bashing of your head on the desk)

I love Quickr, but we'll continue just dating for now because there just a couple annoyances that made me question my sanity until I understood that they were predictable, avoidable bugs. Learn from my pain and be happy with Quickr. Note that we are using the Domino release of Quickr, currently 8.1.0.1 and connectors 8.1 HF8

1. Do not create folders in a place that are one character (e.g. don't do A, B, C, D....Z). After E, you'll find that they show in the Web Browser, but not in the connectors. There is a technote I stumbled across that says to use more than one character.
   
2. Do not use any special characters in a place name (like apostrophes and ampersands) -Using HF5 version of the connectors, we had no issue, but as soon as we upgraded to HF8...well let's just say the results were not pretty. Upgraded users seemed ok, for a while, but new users could not see all their places in the connector. The solution was to rename the title of places that had special characters (e.g. Marketing's Place, Operations & Support) then use QPTool to unregister and register these places. 

Anyone else have a list.

When you send a file by email, the access control to that file is intuitive. Only those you send it to can read it (ignore that fact that it could be re-forwarded by the recipients to someone else...this is alway a possibility regardless of the solution).

Now when you install Quickr with Lotus Notes connectors and you attempt to send a file, you are prompted if you really really want to send the file or let Quickr store it in a place. Great that works except if the file is considered "sensitive" you have to think, "Which place do my recipients have access to, and who else in that place could also read this document?". Then you say, fudge that, I'll just send the attachment. BUT, what if that Quickr dialog box had a checkbox that says, "Limit access to the recipients" and the connector then put the file into your place of choice, even a Quickr Entry place (enhanced), and automagically sets the access control of the document so that only your recipients are readers? Now that would be cool and remove all that extra thinking about who can access what.
