Merlin – projects in “all my files” smart folder

on 26. July 2012

If your “All My Files” folder does not show any Merlin project files, and you are already using the latest Merlin update,  this is how to invoke re-indexing by Spotlight.

- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- Click Spotlight.
- Click the Privacy tab.
- Drag your home folder or even an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list.
- Remove the item or volume you just added.

Or for the Terminal geeks:
sudo mdutil -E /

Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409

If you allow the system to reindex your files for a while, Merlin project files will appear in the “Documents” area.

Merlin 2.9 update with support for OS X 10.8

on 12. July 2012

Today we’ve released a new free Merlin update. The Merlin 2.9 update brings various improvements and more stability. It is recommended for all Merlin and Merlin Server users.

How to update Merlin
How to update Merlin Server

  • Merlin and Merlin Server support new Gatekeeper and start on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion as identified software.

    • With Mountain Lion Apple introduces a new technology called “Gatekeeper”. Gatekeeper helps protect you from downloading and installing malicious software on your Mac, no matter where your apps come from. And it gives you even more control over which apps you install. With the standard option Gatekeeper installs only apps from the Mac App Store and apps from identified developers. Merlin and Merlin Server are now signed by ProjectWizards as an indentified developer and working with the Gatekeeper default option under OS X Mountain Lion.

    We highly recommend users of OS X Mountain Lion to install this update.

    Updating existing installations of Merlin Server: The formerly contained certificate is now replaced by the new one verified by Apple. Therefore the very first time you start Merlin Server, you will be asked to allow accessing Keychain for the existing certificate to be replaced. Please click on “Allow always”.

Resolved Issues in Merlin

  • Freemind HTML export was broken.
  • LDAP items with images could not be loaded.

Managing Projects on the Mac and the iPad

on 11. May 2011

Over the past few weeks I’ve been able to give a few presentations about doing project management on the Mac and on the iPad. I had a few requests so I thought I would post them.

The first is the presentation I gave in the Philadelphia Walnut St. Apple Store on how to manage projects using a Mac: Managing Projects on a Mac.

The second is the one I gave at the PMI Lehigh Valley Professional Development Day on how to use the iPad as a Project Management tool: The iPad and Project Management

The iPad2 and Project Management

on 11. March 2011

Last year when Apple unveiled the iPad, I, along with countless others were overcome with that all too familiar craving for new gear from Cupertino. Having tried and quickly abandoned several tablets running the other operating system, I was hopeful that the iPad would gain the acceptance it has rightfully earned, but as a project manager, I was mostly curious about how this new device would fit in with my job. The Windows tablets I had tried in the past always seemed to make my job harder. So, when I purchased it, I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to do it… but like I said… The craving…

Since then I’ve found a number of ways the original iPad enables me in managing projects and best of all, I’m able to use it with Merlin. And now, we have the iPad 2. (more…)

WWDC 2010

on 10. June 2010

These are some of the photos we’ve got from our developers attending this year’s WWDC:

SF: the cheesecake factory SF: Golden Gate

Does this sound like my parents went to Saint Francisco and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt? ;-)

Not a fitting comparison if you ask me… We are very excited and looking forward to hearing from them upon their return. There is surely so much to tell about interesting new developments, attended workshops, new connections to other developers or the applications presented and how all this new knowledge and experience can influence Merlin‘s further development.

Merlin Projects on iPhone

on 11. March 2010

We have submitted the next update for Merlin on the iPhone to the App Store and wait for its approval.

It will carry the version number 1.0.4 and includes the following issue fixes:

  • The iPhone app has now a new icon and a new title. Its former title “Merlin” is now part of the icon and the application itself is called “Projects”; so it reads “Merlin Projects”.
  • The navigation view is now properly positioned even after cancelling the image picker in the file elements view.
  • Under some circumstances it was not possible to enter the completion percentage.
  • Added a workaround for a bug in the 3.2 beta version of the iPhone SDK.
  • The Gantt view wasn’t refreshed after a sync operation.
  • Under some circumstances Merlin iPhone did crash on start.
  • The stability in general is improved.

We hope Apple approves the new update of Merlin iPhone quickly, and it is soon available in the App Store for download.

Update: The update 1.0.4 is now available in the App Store and recommended for all Merlin iPhone 1.0.3 users.

Hello 2010, bye bye 2009!

on 4. January 2010

One lays a bit longer in bed at Christmas, and finds the new year already in full swing when awaking. But wait. Our hibernation was not that deep, we simply granted ourselves a short break. 2009 was after all the most active year in our young history.

Directly on its begin, January 2009, we were in the Macworld and presented Merlin iPhone to the interested visitors.

In February 2009 the beta test of Merlin 2.7 started containing the new version of Merlin Web. A Merlin Twitter presence was also created, with over 750 followers meanwhile.
