Hi there,
I'm using VueMinder Lite storing its data on my dropbox folder and I'm having an issue.
It seems that VueMinder doesn't write all changes I added to my calendar until I close it. Even though Dropbox looks for changes on the DB folder, when I shut down the computer VueMinder only write last changes *after* Dropbox closed. Therefore I loose my changes and next time I open VueMinder calendar is missing information.
I delayed VueMinder launching with Startup Delayer, but I'm wondering if there a way to keep writing *all* the changes instead of waiting until VueMinder closes.
Thanks for any info.

Re: VueMinder Lite & Dropbox issue
Hi cgustav, welcome to the forums. VueMinder auto-saves data whenever changes are made (within 10 seconds). I'm not sure why the data isn't auto-saving in your case.
It sounds like when you shutdown Windows, DropBox is closing before VueMinder. Instead of having VueMinder close as part of the Windows shutdown process, right-click the VueMinder icon in the task tray (near the clock) and select "Exit VueMinder" from the popup menu before you continue with shutting Windows down. This will cause VueMinder to exit and save its latest data to DropBox. Does that help?

Re: VueMinder Lite & Dropbox issue
Thank you Dan,
what I've been doing so far it's closing Vue first in order to have it writing the necessary changes and then Dropbox updating them.
This is what I've found out about the changes that Vue writes when I close it:
CalendarInfo.bin
CalendarInfo1.backup
Backups.dat
ToolbarsUsers.xml
Manually closing it works fine, the only problem sometimes I forget to do it.
Thanks for the support!
