Status bar in Notes 11

Hi all

I just noticed that the status bar doesn't open up to show you the last several entries into the status bar on my version of Notes. I'm writing to the status bar from an agent and need to see more than the last print statement. Is there a setting for that somewhere?

thanks

Clem

There is a bell symbol at the right end of status bar.

There you can see the previous status bar messages

Thanks!

@clem padin in addition to information provided by Mathias Bierl, you can also check/change status bar behaviour under Preferences > Status Bar preferences...

I hope it helps in some way.

I don't see any Status Bar preferences under Preferences. Where would I find it?

Hello @Ben Langhinrichs if you are running Notes over Windows OS, it should be on File > Preferences > Status Bar Preferences...

If you are running Notes over MacOS, it should be on HCL Notes > Preferences > Status Bar Preferences...

I hope it helps!

Not there in my 11.0.1 Notes client on Windows 10. I have no idea why. It's a shame, as I would like to be able to change it.

I don't see that in Preferences either.

Ben & Clem --

It's an available menu option in the Domino Administrator client (File > Preferences > Status Bar Preferences...) but apparently only applies to the Status Bar of the Admin client. Changing the number of line entries works there but doesn't seem to affect the line count in the Notes client.

@clem padin As an aside, one workaround to get the older version of status bar is to run the Basic client instead. I do that a lot as I do API debugging, but it easy to set up a shortcut which opens nlnotes.exe, which is the Basic client. May not be worth it for you, but I need it often.

@Ben Langhinrichs Thanks for the tip! I don't use the status bar often but this time I needed it. I will keep this in mind for the future.

A while ago, I created a function that makes it easy to create a file and send debug info there. It's better then the status bar since I can dump a lot more to a file then what the status bar can display. If you're interested, I can share it.
