'Bad ideas spread like wildfire, so why didn't a good one catch on?'. The EccoPro to Android Synchronization Software MyPhoneExplorer able to synchronize Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Ecco Outlines to Android Phones and Tablets was released on July 9, 2013. According to Scott Rosenberg, a programmer using the handle 'slangmgh' developed an extension to Ecco Pro posted to ecco_pro users group on Yahoo which includes fixes and upgrades to the program, and may incorporate the Lua scripting language. Įven though the source code for Ecco Pro is not open source, development of plugin extensions to the software continues.

Ram based, the program was considered fast and relatively easy on laptop batteries, but a heavy consumer of system resources. Ecco version 1.x supports shared folders and outlines for network access to data, but does not support windows workgroups. Data is stored as discrete objects, and can be dragged as dynamic links to multiple folders creating cross references. The user interface is based on a 'universal outliner' and folders, which allow the user to build a variety of views organizing related information of mixed types. A feature called 'Shooter' puts a cut and paste tool at the top of the screen facilitating copy of data to and from ECCO. This version supports calendar and contact data, as well as to-do lists, and allows integration with other software via import and export capability, Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). ECCO Professional was introduced by Arabesque Software in 1993, as a Personal Information Manager (PIM) with a database backend.
