ETOTHEPIEQUALSMINUSONE  I'm not sure when it was added, but you can certainly start your week on Monday (or any day) in the preferences now.  
(Version 1.4.1)

ETOTHEPIEQUALSMINUSONE  The developer is VERY responsive to this issue. I'm sure this will be fixed soon. HistoryHound is an incredible time saver for people who do research. There are a few apps that pay for themselves in time saved -- this one is a no brainer!  
(Version 1.9.5)

ETOTHEPIEQUALSMINUSONE  HistoryHound doesn't work with NetShade Proxy (paid version). All pages fail to be index due to a "connection error." This is almost certainly a compliance problem with HistoryHound, and not a problem with the NetShade Proxy. All standards-complaint, internet-accessing applications I use work fine with NetShade.

After turning the proxy off, HistoryHound does work. It is a very nice app. I hope they fix this soon (and not in a paid upgrade)!

Now that I have experience with the error log. It would be nice to have check boxes (or other options) on the error-log page to re-attempt to index unreachable pages. As it works now, it seems you have to re-index the whole shebang to pick-up connection-errors.

ETOTHEPIEQUALSMINUSONE  This can be done with Dragthing for many years. Put a folder a Dragthing Doc, then right-click and select More > Item options > Hot Keys -- then assign a key. Dragthing is $29, but does a whole lot more as well.
