Dear forum users,

We noticed in the last weeks that we got a few spams here in the forum from very old users that were not active in the last years.

We don't know why that happened, but I guess they might have been attacked on other platforms and the hackers just tried if their password is also valid here.

So there are 2 important things:

1. Please don't use your password 2 or more times. So don't use the same password here as for your email or shopping account. Always use different passwords! Please change passwords if you always use the same one.

2. Maybe check if there are known hacks of your email. You only need to check this site and enter your email.
https://sec.hpi.de/ilc/search?lang=en

You can trust that site. It is from a university that mainly cares about cyber security. You can also visit online courses about cyber security on their pages. see:
https://open.hpi.de/?locale=en
The university is located in Germany. They are also consulting the State of Germany on security issues. It is paid by Hasso Plattner. One of richest guys in the world (around place 100). He founded SAP. A company that mainly sells very large database applications.

For example I was already hacked 3 times on other platforms several years ago (kickstarter, dropbox and a small other forum)!

Maybe, just as an information, please answer if you were also hacked already.

It's time to update the FET benchmarks.
Sadly the old benchmark is pretty out of date. You can still see the old results here:
https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?topic=166.msg729#msg729

FET improved pretty much in speed the last years, because:
- the FET algorithm is better now
- FET support multi core CPUs
- Qt 6 is faster than Qt 5
- FET is compiled now with 64 bit instead of 32 bit
- the compilers are better now

The old benchmark also become too easy for new CPUs and it can't be compiled with Qt 6 anymore.

If you are interested in speed improvements you can maybe already view some of my videos:

Since the user am suggested it in the guestbook: (Please do suggestions only in the forum)

If you want to use a dark mode. So if you want to change the interface color to black (or any other color of your OS color) please have look at this videos:

Windows:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzEmMD-NVIc

Linux:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbzcb-4-e6w

MacOS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_KYhc4BtGM

Are you still using Windows 7 or 32 bit only?

You should update, because swtichting from 32 bit to 64 bit will speed-up generating a timetable ~10%.

Switching from Qt 5 (runs on Windows 7) to Qt 6 (doesn't run on Windows 7) increase around 8%.

So moving from Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 10 64 bit will increase the generating speed with FET around 18%!

(Also Windows 7 didn't get any security update anymore. There are security bugs in Windows 7 that won't be fixed anymore. It also look like you can still upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 still for free.)

Hi

should i mark in the teachers and students (substitution)-tables if it is the last activity. So the teachers and students know if they need to care about closing the window, tidy up and lock the door?

Maybe just add a 🧹 ?

Hallo,

i am currently thinking more about dark mode. Please help me and answer the question.
If you have trouble with dark mode in FET, TiTiTo, StElTo or TSC, then please leave a comment and also write your used operating system.

Thank you

[Please use the newer TiTiTo 8.5.4! See here:https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?topic=5902.0]

Please use the newer TiTiTo 8.5.4! See here:
https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?topic=5902.0

OLD INFORMATION BELOW:

This will be the last Windows 32bit compatible version, since I will update to Qt 6. So newer Windows versions will run only on Windows 10 or later with 64 bit. Please update your OS soon if you still use an 32 bit OS or Windows 7/8.

Don't use this version at school if you still use and old TiTiTo version 6.9.1 or older, because I changed the database structure a bit.
But you can use this version already if you are preparing the next school year or if you import your data set once again (export from TiTiTo and import again).

Many thanks to Benahmed Abdelkrim, Liviu Lalescu and ngoctp29121982 for the updated translations!

You can download the new version here:
Windows 7 or higher: https://www.volker-dirr.de/TiTiTo-7.9.7.exe
MacOS 10.10 or higher: https://www.volker-dirr.de/TiTiTo-7.9.7.dmg
Linux: --- please contact me if you need a Linux version ---

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkj6yR5F2-k

Since FET got a lot of new strings in the last years and my old statistics is pretty old, i just updated it with the current FET 6.8.4.

Overall 35 languages, but only 4 complete. Please help translating.

FET has got a new "open source excellence" badge on its site.
That mean FET has more than 100.000 downloads.
(Of course a lot of downloads from different versions, so number of users will be (much) lower)
see:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fet-timetabling/

Gerade in der Erprobung: TiTiTo unterstützt den Export im Untisformat. Dies wird von oft externen Programmen für ein digitales Klassenbuch benutzt.

I must sadly do a longer break.
So i won't read the forum in the next weeks.
You can still write me an email. See my homepage. But please don't do it if you can ask the same question other guys here in the forum.
Thank you.

I am currently working on a new feature:
The substitution table can now have up to two news ticker. One in the top and one on the bottom.
They can (scroll from right to left) or (scroll from left to right) or (just be static). (Or disabled)

Please let me know if the tickers are fine (Of course you can choose speed, color and font yourself).
I only need to know if it is working fine on different devices.

Please see a preview here:
https://www.volker-dirr.de/teachers_today.html

There is a very easy variant how to change the widget style:
open a command promt (for exmaple by clicking the windows icon in the bottom left corner and write 'cmd')
Navigate to your fet file (for example by writing:
cd downloads
cd fet-5.45.1
By the way: you don't need to write the whole line, only a few charaters and press the tab key)

Now execute fet with this command:
fet -style fusion

do it similar in an other command promt. But start FET with:
fet -style windows

(the same trick should work with most other Qt programms too. So also with TiTiTo, StElTo, ...)

Google mail has smtp support disabled by default.
If you want to sent a mail, then you need to enable smtp in your google settings. You need to allow external software.
I found a small video that show you how to do it: You only need to do the first IMAP stuff. IMAP is only for reading e-mails.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-NYmDWiFjU

You can also use port 587 with TLSSTART
(i saw that 2 sentences in the test mail are missing, i will fix that with the next TiTiTo release. But that doesn't matter much. It is working fine with google mail.)
