VueMinder Calendar Ultimate + Lite 2023.01 + Portable

Note: This version requires either Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (installed by default on Windows 8.x and 10), or .NET Framework 4.0 with update KB2468871 (probably already installed if you use Windows Update).
Improved the user interface. The layout and button icons have been updated. Buttons, tabs, and icons are larger to provide a better user experience on touch-screen and high resolution displays.
Added 10 new color-based appearance themes. These themes can be selected via a new step that has been added to the Configuration Wizard, or in the Appearance Options. The updated default appearance theme is light gray, but the new themes provide other colors such as blue, green, purple, etc.
Added the ability to archive and remove old events, tasks, and notes. Using this command can help improve VueMinder's performance.
Added the ability to merge one or more calendars into another calendar.
Added the ability to find and delete all duplicate events, tasks, or notes within a selected calendar.
Added the ability to convert between events, tasks, and notes. An item can be converted by using the "Assign to Calendar" command. If the selected calendar is a different type (event, task, or note), the item will be converted.
Added a "Show Only this Calendar" menu command for showing only the items in the selected calendar. Items in other calendars will be filtered.
Improved application performance.
Improved the Desktop Calendar to recall its position based on any number of screen configurations and resolutions.

Other corrections and improvements.

Corrected printing of multi-day events to show the correct start and end dates when using the "Whole month without overflow" monthly layout style.
Corrected sharing data over a local network. In some cases, such as when a category color was modified, syncing would get stuck on "Syncing with server" and not work properly until VueMinder was restarted.
Corrected sharing of event and task completion status. The completion status wouldn't sync if modified by an account that has read-only access to the shared calendar.
Corrected the appearance of shared notes when coloring based on category. The notes were not colored based on the associated category when synced to other computers.

Other minor corrections and improvements.

Improved exporting recurring events to Excel and CSV when occurrence numbering is enabled for the series. The occurrence numbers will appear in the exported file.
Improved copying and pasting of multiple events to use the same relative date/time offsets for the pasted events, rather than all the pasted events going into the same date or timeslot even if they were copied from different dates or timeslots.
Improved the display of completed events in the Month view to make the event titles easier to see while still being faded.
Corrected the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X keyboard shortcuts to properly copy or cut events.
Corrected syncing custom data fields. In some cases, custom fields wouldn’t appear on other computers. If custom fields are still missing after updating, the Sync Now button in the Sharing Options should fix the problem.

Corrected pasting recurring event series on dates after the original end date of the copied series. The pasted series wouldn't appear.

Corrected syncing with Google Calendar when multiple events are intentionally defined on Google Calendar with the same title, date, and time. VueMinder would only show one of the events.

Corrected the Timeline View to not shift the left-most column when a different event is selected, if the selected event is already visible within the date range of the Timeline View.
Corrected occurrence numbering when the first instance of a recurring series is moved before the original series start date. In that case, the displayed occurrence number for the second occurrence would be #1 instead of #2.
Corrected importing recurring events from Excel and CSV files when the events have future occurrences, but originally started prior to the specified cutoff for older events. The recurring events would be excluded from the import.
Corrected sending SMS reminders to other recipients to use the maximum number of characters specified in the SMS Settings. In some cases, depending on the mobile carrier of other recipients, truncated reminders would be sent containing fewer characters than specified in the SMS Settings.
Corrected the Translation Editor to allow editing the translated language name. This name appears in the Language menu.
Other minor corrections and improvements.

Added an option when syncing calendars with Exchange Server to not process contact data in meeting notices, for improved syncing performance.

Corrected calendars added from Google Calendar to not show previously deleted instances of recurring events.

Improved performance when a large number of categories or locations have been defined. The main window and editor windows will open more quickly now.
Improved performance when a large number of tasks have been defined. The main window will load more quickly now.
Corrected syncing with Exchange Server when events are copied and pasted. The original copied event would sometimes be moved to the date or the pasted event or deleted.
Corrected syncing with Exchange Server when a new event is created and immediately re-opened in the Event Editor. After saving the updates, a duplicate event would sometimes appear on Exchange Server.
Corrected the Meeting Response window. In some cases the names and email addresses of the meeting organizer and attendees wouldn't appear on the Meeting Response window. Also, the meeting response wouldn't be sent to the organizer.
Corrected updating existing meeting requests. In some cases, the meeting organizer or attendee list would not be properly saved.
Corrected the "Due In" value shown on the Popup Reminder window. If the reminder window was left open for a long time, the "Due In" value would sometimes stop refreshing and become incorrect.

Corrected a problem with new events sometimes not appearing in the calendar if the calendar's default event settings are configured to have a recurrence pattern.

Other minor corrections and improvements.

Added a Catalan translation.
Improved exporting contacts to allow selection of either Google Contacts CSV or Outlook CSV formats. When importing a Google Contacts CSV formatted file into Google Contacts, all fields will properly map to Google Contact fields, rather than some values importing into the contact notes.
Improved the drop-down time picker to reduce the amount of scrolling. For example, when creating an event in the morning, 8:00 AM will be near the top of the drop-down list, rather than 3:00 AM.
Improved the drop-down event duration list to eliminate the need to scroll.
Improved the default event title when creating an event for a contact to use the default title specified in the Calendar Properties followed by the contact's name.

Corrected exporting or publishing ICS files that contain recurring events with deleted occurrences. In some cases, the exported or published ICS file could not be imported into other calendar programs.
Corrected the descriptions of events that are in calendar subscriptions or are imported from ICS files. In some cases, the imported descriptions would be missing spaces.

Corrected scheduling multiple voice phone reminders for the same event or task.
Corrected the right-click commands on the Task List when the selected task doesn't have a due date, and the previously selected task did. The right-click commands would act on the previously selected task rather than the currently selected one.
Corrected creating a new subtask for a task that doesn't have a due date when using the right-click menu in the Task List. In some cases, the default parent task of the new subtask would initialize to a different task, not the one selected in the Task List.
Corrected the display of multi-week events on the Month view to not show the event starting time on subsequent week rows. The start time will only appear for the first week.
Corrected the whole Month print layout when the option to show overflow into other months is disabled and some of the dates that are in different months have background images. The background images of dates in other months will be excluded when printing without overflow.
Corrected entering web-based email settings if the web-based SMS settings (which use the same account) aren't also specified. Sending a test email wouldn't work until the SMS settings are entered and the Options window is closed and re-opened.
Corrected editing recurrence events when the "This occurrence and all that follow" option is used. The new series will re-use any custom appearance that was specified for the previous series.
Corrected the Links tab label to indicate the current number of links after previously linked items are deleted.
Corrected several text labels that were unavailable to be translated to other languages.

Corrected a problem with some events not appearing in VueMinder when a Google Calendar is added that contains many events.
Corrected undoing the deletion of a calendar when it contains recurring events and individual occurrences that have been modified or deleted. The modified occurrences would be duplicated and deleted occurrences would return after undoing the calendar deletion.

Other minor corrections and improvements.
