hmCal: New version 2.0 / Calendar plugin for 4th Dimension
October 15, 2008
– hmCal is a plug-in developed by heubach media, Hamburg, Germany for 4th
Dimension.
The new version of hmCal 2.0 contains tremendous new functions and
improvements:
- Support of recurrence appointments: Now you can apply easily very complex
repeating rules for appointments. These rules are automatically displayed in
hmCal and can modified by the user.
- Support of the iCalendar Standard: With hmCal 2.0 you can get/push very
easily calendar data from/to iCal, Outlook 2007 and others. Now it's
possible to show appointments from other calendar systems directly (without
caching any data) into your 4D application. For example: Subscribe your
Google Calendar easily in your 4D application - with only one command!
Export and import of iCalendar documents, including support of recurrence
appointments.
- New project/gantt view: With this view you can plan your resources or
appointments. You can display appointment hierarchichally. HmCal supports
milestones and relations.
- Support of columns: The user/resource view and the new project view
supporting columns. Now you can display more information to an
appointment/user/resource!
- Goodbye Quickdraw: hmCal 2.0 was completely rewritten for Macintosh into
Quartz 2D. This new technology brings new possibilities, for example:
gradients and shadows.
- New icon management: Now you can create icons in hmCal and apply these
icons to appointments. HmCal now supports native picture formats. So you can
use the format "png" to use the alpha layer and to display transparency.
Further hmCal 2.0 has some other now features. More you can read in the
release notes in the online documentation:

these new features in your 4D application.
