Task fields all just show as "Lookup 1", "Lookup 2" etc. after fresh install

Hi!
I finally got round to putting my second license key to good use and installed TS on my home box a couple of days ago. When I create a Task note all the fields are just labelled "Lookup 1" through to "Lookup 6" instead of the usual "Customer", "Project", "Task", etc. I know from my installation at work.
What could have happened there? This is a completely fresh install. I never had TS installed on this machine before. If that's of any significance, note that I am working with a limited user account under Windows XP Pro (just like at work).
P.S.: I just saw the RSS2Flag plugin mentioned in the Wiki. Is that something that can be downloaded somewhere? Any other news of TS 3.5 on the horizon?
Cheers,
Oliver

Hello Oliver
Lookup definitions are stored in the database, and the labels 'Lookup 1' etc are effectively the default values.
The other part of the puzzle is that (on a fresh install of timesnapper) the first time the task form loads up (or the options form), we automatically imports any lookup definitions we find, from a file called "LookupDefinitions.xml".
We only do that once, as that feature is just for backward compatability with TS versions < 2.6 when we used to store those settings outside the database.
If you have a copy of LookupDefinitions.xml sitting around, you can manually import it, by using the "import" button found in the "Task Lookup Integration" panel on the "Integration" tab of the Options form (available by right clicking pretty much anywhere in the app).
Hope this hasn't been 'too much information' ;-)
cheers

Rss2Flag and others will be available with next release, when our plugin model becomes a little more sophisticated.

So, in other words what I described is now expected behaviour?
Anyway, thanks for the explanation. Importing the default LookupDefinitions.xml from Integration sub-folder solved the issue just fine...
Very much looking forward to the next release! Any rough estimates available already?
Field test?
