I've recently come across what might be considered a bug in the way PowerMail handles sound notifications. It seems I've become one of the ipod/itunes junkies, and now I want to play all of my purchased music while stuff is going on... including PM usagae (which is nearly always running).
The problem is that while I can control the sound output of all other programs I use via the "Alert Volume" setting in the sound preferences panel, PowerMail does not head that setting and plays it's sounds at full volume ... which, if you have a Def Lepperd or Audioslave song cranked, can be down right deafening. I thought I'd pose this situation to the list here to get some feedback to ctm, ala: 1. Since PM's notification sounds are basically alert sounds, should they not obey the Alert Volume setting? (ie, is this a bug) 2. If not, should there be a volume slider for PM's sounds? (feature request) I personally lean toward #1. Oh, and anyone with other observations, suggestions on this please feel free to chime (haha) in. PS: while there are still a few rough edges on PowerMail, I'm loving using it ... and the "new" search feature continues to work great ... and FAST! (yea!). I have had to reduce the size of my DB to keep window and list updates at a reasonable rate, but my "backup" is just another PM set I use for searching (and anyway... how often do I really want a match from 1997 ?) Now... if we could just get that preference to turn off double-clicking URLs my day to day use of PM would have no major headaches ... even if it's just a hidden "resource" preference somewhere! :) Lane Roathe President Ideas From the Deep <http://www.ifd.com> ___________________________________________________________________ Since the Internet has no walls or fences, who needs Windows or Gates?
