Lotus Symphony 1.1 adds new preference options for performance, enterprise management, more

August 29 2008

Here is a first look at the preferences for Lotus Symphony 1.1 and what is new/changed

We now have two options for performance optimization. With moderate I now load Lotus Symphony 1.1 in 9 seconds on my Dell laptop .. with Notes 8.0.2 running!

I believe this is tied into the Expeditor Enterprise Management tools. Create to see Enterprise Management tools in Symphony. More about this in a future blog entry.

Not only can you select what files will open in Lotus Symphony by default (which was in 1.0), you can tell Lotus Symphony to create Microsoft Office file formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt) when you create new files in Lotus Symphony. We need more granularity here, but this is a great step forward!

   The last point on being able to tell Symphony what file format to use for saving documents was in Symphony V1.0 and is also in the Notes 8.0.2 Std client.

   John,

   Symphony 1.0 included the same two performance options, Moderate and High. So there are no new options there for Symphony 1.1 though. Regardless, I am quite pleased with this 1.1 release over the previous.
