Developer was developing a version 2 but it seems that this version isn't sure also.
No bugfixes (last update 13-08-2011) and the app is still not compatible with Busycal because it doesn't sync without opening iCal first. That's too much of a hassle and not the reason why I switched to busycal.
It does give a sync warning when choosing busycal as standard, but it really makes the app worthless for busycal users
Since this is a paid app, a bugfix would be appropiate so now and then...
Useable for iCal users, though...

this is what the developer says, but every other app I own has the same version number on both the App Store and "independent" so... sounds more a strategy meant to push customers towards re-purchasing the app making them "feel behind latest version"
he also states he will provide free updates for existing customers up to v 1.0.9. so... unless it's a typo, existing customers are already out! :-0

a) "1.0 indie" is the last version available to existing customers
b) any further update will be *App Store only*!
if you stated this clearly and since the beginning, as other developers have done, I wouldn't complain at all and just happily migrate DateLine too to the App Store
the way you acted, instead, towards your customers (as if they all were stupids!) with all these *transversal* "maneuvers" and writings is really ... ehm... "sad"! :-(

This is one of the reason I hate the Appstore.

In order to move to the app store version of any app, you must purchase it from the App Store. Apple provides no way for developers to move their existing customers to the App Store.

You are under no obligation to buy the App Store version, I will continue updating DateLine for existing customers until 1.0.9.

▪ New features:
▪ DateLine now shows a dot or an outline for days that have Tasks as well as Events
▪ Events and Tasks can be indicated by a colored dot, which is now situated on top of the day mark dot
▪ Added a global hotkey to bring DateLine to the front, defaulting to Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Spacebar
▪ Support for Caliander
▪ New floating Events and Tasks windows can be on screen at all times and have a number of interesting properties:
▪ Can be made trasparent to blend with your desktop background
▪ Will float on mouse over to allow quick acces to your events and tasks for any day in DateLine
▪ Can be collapsed to a simple window title bar for minimum visibility
▪ Many other small improvements
▪ Bugfixes:
▪ Dates with due Tasks now show the Task in both the attached window and the DateLine, even when there are no Events for that date
▪ DateLine now accepts first mouse correctly, fixing an annoying bug with selecting dates
▪ Fixed a bug where DateLine would remain floating after mouse exit

Have you tried going to Help: Reset Preferences? This should resolve your problem with the preferences not opening.

frequently dateline seems to just disappear from background idk why
so i tried to relaunch it again but didn't work
i also tried option+command+esc so i can force quit and relaunch
and dateline was not on the list
only choices left for me are: restart or log out and back in
I really do not want to sign myself out in the middle of task and relaunch everything just because of this one app

I have replied to your help request on the Forum.
Cheers,
Alex

My preference settings are:
Normal windows level (under Appearance)
Lock Dateline position is checked (under Advanced)
Play any Quicktime movie at fullscreen and the position moves.
Please fix.
