Extension that will display and manage lists of date-based reminders and ToDo's both in the Firefox browser and Thunderbird

ReminderFox is an extension for Firefox and Thunderbird that displays and manages lists of date-based reminders and ToDo's.

ReminderFox doesn't seek to be a full-fledged calendar system. In fact, the target audience is anybody that simply wants to remember important dates (anniversaries, birthdays, etc) without having to run a fat calendar program.

Requirements for this software

· Thunderbird: 1.0 – 3.0a1 or Firefox: 1.0 – 3.0a4

What's new in this release

• Importing reminders from ICS attachments would not recognize some attachments as calendar events
• Fixed: Bug 17143 - wasn't removing Remind Until Complete status when completing reminders from alarm popup window
• Fixed: removing custom list wouldn't always properly remove it
• Added location to quick-search, so you could search for all events happening in Raleigh for instance
• Added category/location to variables, so you can now use those in your tooltips.
• Closing alarms with ESC or 'X' no longer acknowledges the alarm by default. Now the alarm is simply dismissed for this event. (Thanks to Corey W.)
• You can now import/download events that are specified using other US Timezones (such as Yahoo! Sports calendars, that use US/Pacific) and they will show up with the correct times.
• When removing a custom list, you are now prompted that all related reminders will be deleted as well, and they are automatically removed for you.
• You can now rename custom lists (select your custom list in the options and click Edit).
• Map Location - the Location field now has a launch button beside it that will bring up a Google Maps page of the location.
• The standalone Add Reminder window now has a drop-down list for selecting that list to add a reminder to. So when adding a reminder, you can quickly choose from your reminder or any of your custom ToDo lists.
• Properly display scheduling events. For events that were sent as invitations or schedules, the ReminderFox reminder window will now show extra details showing the Organizer and Attendees. It will as well show their current status (required, etc), as well as your current status. (Thanks to Günter Wahl)
• Add Reminder From Contacts - For Thunderbird contacts, you can now add a Reminder for that contact that will contain all of their pertinent information. From your address book, right-click on the contact and select Add Reminder from the context menu. (Thanks to Günter Wahl [as suggested by Denis])
• When sending a reminder, you are now given the option to send as an Invitation, that permits you to set the Organizer and Attendees of the event.. This is used to send meeting invitations via email to other participants that they can then easily add to their calendar client (if it supports ical)
• Repeating todo's. You can now set repeat options on ToDo items. This is used for the alarm popups to show at repeat intervals (daily, weekly, etc). Note that unlike reminders, by default you will just see one instance in your list with the original date that you set, because a ToDo list is more of a static list. However, if you filter the list (selected month, week, day, upcoming week, upcoming two weeks), it will show you the individual repeating instances.
• Custom Repeat Options. Finally, you can set up your own custom repeat intervals. You can now set repeat intervals for days, weeks, months, years (eg: repeat every 6 weeks; repeat every 2 months), and specific days for weekly reminders (every 2 weeks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). You can as well set a Repeat Until date for your repeat reminders, that is a date that the reminders will repeat until and then stop This could be used to set up a block of dates for when you are on vacation, etc.
• Quickly add a reminder from the status bar! There is now an action off of the status bar icon's context menu for Add Reminder. This brings up the Add Reminder window without having to go to the Reminder List first. This lets you quickly and easily add reminders.
• Filters - in the Reminder List window, there is now a drop-down control that lets you filter what items the list shows; you can show all events or just those events for the selected month, week, or day (based on what you have selected in the calendar). You can as well show just the events that are coming in the next week or the next two weeks. The filter lets you have even more control over what is displayed in the list, so you can see just what you're interested in. You can set the default filter in the options.
• Subscriptions

· Fixed: Wasn't showing URL or location on alarms for ToDos...
