Double right-click in Notes 8


Since the preferences item was left out, here's how you set up double right-click in Notes 8 Beta 2...

Set your preferences to what you want.
Shut down Notes.
Open your NOTES.INI file (I don't know if this exists on Linux clients.)
Find Preferences=
Whatever the number is there, add 8388608 to it.  (That's 2^23)
Save the NOTES.INI
Restart Notes.

You might have to do this everytime you change a preference.  I really don't know.  But at least you know, if right click is off, add 8388608.

Hope this helps!

1 - I can confirm that the right-click setting is disabled when you change any preferences in the Notes 8 Eclipse client.

Since that is quite cumbersome to calculate the new Preferences= value again, I wrote an LS agent to do it easier for you:

Sub Initialize
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim p As Long
p = session.GetEnvironmentValue("Preferences",True)
p = p Or (2^23)
session.SetEnvironmentVar "Preferences",Trim(Str(p)),True
End Sub

2 - It looks as though if you start up in the old "classic" client by running nlnotes.exe the preference to enable right-click is still there. Enable it, and quit. Then load up the new Eclipse-base client, and it should work...
