My Small Suggestions

[DumKopf]

Hey Perry, I purchased MomD yesterday and I can see it's going to be a massive help. Couple of things from my first impressions:

1. Minor spelling mistake:


2. Can you show on the domain list if a domain has had a successful WhoIs look up? Maybe only have the globe icon if there is WhoIs data or not?

That's all for now, otherwise, this product is going to be a great backup system with ensuring my 300+ domains don't expire.

3. Expiry Date next to domain name on list would be awesome! That way I wouldn't have to open every domain to find expiry date.

Great, all wonderful suggestions. I will be sure these make it into the next update. Thanks!

[DumKopf]

Thanks for your reply Perry, that would be awesome

My international registrar "TUCOWS INC." has the expiry date in the format of "13-apr-2011" which MomD thinks it is validly converting the date to "4/03/11" (i.e. not in red), I have set my Mac up so the date format works for my main registrant which has the format "2007-05-10".

I know you've stated that it's complicated and you'd love to have a solution to fix this on going issue. I think the solution for this would be to be able to set a date string up for the individual registrar, that way the control is in the users hands instead of trying to come up with an application wide fix, which has just been demonstrated with my problem above.

I propose that you are able to set specific registrars with an string similar to php's date function. So you go into advanced options and set the registrar "TUCOWS INC." as "d-M-Y" and "RegisterDomains" as "Y-m-d", this would sort out the issue irregardless of registrar or users date format. This gives the users total control on how MomD reads dates because at the moment I have half a list of correct expiry dates and the rest MomD thinks is valid, but are actually quite wrong, which results in a major trust issue.

Another small thing (but I know the smallest of things can turn into major coding from personal experience!), is just a check to see if you've added a domain before, just something to pop up to say "duplicate domain found, are you sure you want to add this again?".

[Perry]

Wonderful suggestions all around again. The date format setup idea is perfect, will do some playing around on how to implement that. And, I apologize as I thought MoMD already warned of duplicate domains. That will be an extremely easy fix as well. Thanks!

[DumKopf]

Excellent, looking forward to these enhancements Perry!

Small workflow suggestion, not important; Should be able to type domain into search box then push the down arrow to select the results (like google suggestions), at the moment you have to tab then down arrow. Then once you're on a selected domain Shift-Tab to reverse back to the search panel.

Chur!

I have a domain on my list that I want to leave to expire, can you have a little tick box that stops iCal notifications?
