Yes, I just came across that "S" in the .chm file and rushed here to edit my post but you beat me to the punch
I have investigated further the recurring events matter and it appears that Ultimate Calendar does (IMHO not fully user-friendly) indeed support recurrences
only if added/created as Periodical Personal Dates... Adding recurrence attributes to Notes does not seem to be possible in v.1.6.
It would be really great if the dev would simplify a bit the procedure to enter (among other events also) birthdays/anniversaries (with age calculation) so that adding/creating such basic events would be a bit easier, without having to consult the manual every time.
The fact that from within Ultimate Calendar the dates database can be edited (with BOTH the build-in editor and with Notepad) is absolutely great... In fact once created a couple of "event templates" the user can simply duplicate them (eventually via copy and paste) and just replace the event name and date to quickly produce new recurring events.
Just very recently I have started a quest for a reminder tool (
http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... 488#p62488) and as I am kind of getting familiar with the somewhat unconventional way to add/create recurring events it starts really looking like Ultimate Calendar will be the one
I am considering to contact the dev to suggest implementing a more user friendly approach with ref. to recurrences and probably submit a request to add 3 new features:
1) It would be nice to see the panel at the bottom displaying the events of the day that is (single) clicked rather than ONLY (and permanently) the current listed events.
2) It would be nice if the search function (hotkey "F") would search the entire calendar rather than ONLY the current listed events.
3) Permit the user to add recurrence attributes to existing Notes.
I have also discovered a small bug: When adding a recurrent event with age calculation, if that event is present among the current listed events (in the panel at the bottom) the age progresses correctly when moving the year backwards/forwards, but the year in the date does NOT progress along with the age.
I am Baas, thanks again for having suggested this amazing utility!
