Spanky's Place

Considering some of the discussions going on about enhancing / changing the Notes Client workspace, I am publishing this Active Workspace Prototype.

Right now it only works on Windows machines. It makes use of the Microsoft Web Browser control as the primary workspace component. The code is free to use as you see fit. If you like it, cool. If you hate it, I'm sorry. If you decide to use it in something, feel free to do so (just give credit where credit is due). Right now there is no about document (or any documentation whatsoever), and I realize the icons are pretty lacking.

As my buddy Nathan says, "it's probably not worth the effort needed to get this JUST RIGHT -- this mechanism has it's own annoying little quirks like Workspace and Bookmarks both do."
However, it also has some pretty cool capabilities. Test out the "Generate PIM ActiveLinks" and the "Generate ActiveLinks from Bookmarks" agents, and play with the drag and drop stuff.

ACL Notes: Default would normally be Author access with the ability to create new documents. (Currently set to Manager). Database Managers need the [Admin] role.

Special thanks to Chris Toohey for turning me on to the control, and Julian Robichaux for his very nice Java Progress Bar.

Prototype Zip file is available here.
