#SLACK DESKTOP APP WINDOWS CRASHES UPDATE#
The update can be found at Slack’s site here. We offer up a better explanation of why the app stays in your taskbar, if you’ve set the window to Always flash.We’ve made further improvements to prevent false detection by antivirus vendors.The crude white border that would appear around the app the next time it was launched (if you had been zoomed) has been zapped.Our recollection has improved this time around. If snapped to the left or right of your screen, Slack would develop a case of acute amnesia and reset position when restarted.Downloaded files of the same name will no longer overwrite each other.Like a low-budget horror film, a monstrous variety of crashes creeped into the 2.0 update, most of which have been sent back to the swamp.Context menus were misplaced (and by that we mean, completely absent) for a few unlucky folks.If you find yourself wedged between a rock and a hard place (or, a bug and our app) we offer you an escape hatch: Help > Reset App Data wipes the slate clean.Signed into a smorgasbord of teams? We’ll pay attention to which ones you use the most, and load those first when the app is started.

There is now also a new option which will let you reset app data if you are running into unresolvable bugs at Help > Reset App Data. If you have multiple teams in the app, the app will now remember the one you use most often and present it first at launch. Read More.Slack’s Windows app (which is not a Windows Store app) has been updated to version 2.02 with a new update which brings two minor usability improvements, and a number of bug fixes. This bad integration doesn't change my opinion about Slack, I still consider it to be a pretty good software, it keeps communication constant in my company and that is worth a lot, so I hope they can improve the few flaws they have. Slack needs to improve the integration it has with MailChimp, since currently in our company we use MailChimp to handle sales and advertising, so it would be great if these two platforms (Slack and MailChimp) have a good integration, with faster report export. The notification system has been very good, with notifications without delays. We're a pretty big company, and Slack has been really helpful, it keeps us all connected at all times, I can send direct messages to my bosses and co-workers. The Slack system has behaved wonderfully, I have been able to have fluid conversations at all times both with my colleagues within my sector, as well as with other colleagues from the Finance and Projects sectors. Then, select Help > Troubleshooting > Clear Cache and Restart. Overall: I consider that my general experience with Slack has been good, there have been various problems such as the previously mentioned search system, which does not search for keywords showing old results, but there are some flaws that can be improved by the Slack team to give us a better experience. In the Slack desktop app, you can clear your cache by clicking on the Three Horizontal Lines icon in the top-left corner of your screen. It has a terrible integration with the MailChimp system, currently, the export of Marketing reports to the Slack platform to share this matter with my colleagues, takes a long time to be carried out successfully, the information takes a long time to be shared through this network. Old results are obscured by the search system, and shouldn't be, it should display all of them. The keyword search system is functional, but not 100%, currently, when we search for a word, it does not show the oldest results, but until an exact date, there is no way to find older results. The interface design is quite attractive, it has a very colorful interface, easy to use, easy to understand and above all, easy to configure.Ĭons: - The word search system is one of the things I didn't like at all about Slack. It is a fairly easy mechanism to be organized and for the sectors to maintain a more integrated communication. Each labor sector of my company has a chat room, so it is easy to separate each sector, so that each one has a chat room with their colleagues from the same sector. The chat rooms are quite organized, the messages in each chat room are received instantly, there are no delays in sending or receiving messages. These notifications are instant, so I can know the exact moment when they mention me in a message or when they need me to participate in a discussion.

The latest updates, clocking in at versions 1.9.7 and 1.9.9, follow.

I receive notifications from Slack on my cell phone, email and via SMS. Slack has pushed another set of updates to its beta Windows desktop app, bringing along some bug fixes and minor changes. Slack sends me notifications about everything that happens in my work network or when I am mentioned in a specific network. Pros: The most positively striking features about Slack were:
