Just a hint; i guess, Notes is working as designed.
I have Notes 8.5 Standard client with Designer and Administrator installed and added UseBasicMode=1 to notes.ini to start the client in Basic Mode. Then I opened my mailfile and clicked “View – Agents”.
This is, what I found in the statusbar:
thats a real shame as I use the lighter weight mode often with VMs and lower powered machines
does this also mean that there will be no designer on usb pen / nomad ?

This was already the case in the Beta version of 8.5.
Same thing happens when you start nlnotes.exe (=basic).
Indeed a shame, and I miss it too.
Launch Basic designer first & then Launch basic notes. I used that way sometime back..
@Piyush: No, does not work. The designer only shows the “Home” page.
Designer for ND8.5 uses a lot of the eclipse functionality so it cannot be disabled.
That is really a shame. I like working with the Basic client rather than the Eclipse client because of speed and it does not crash as often.
I keep my 8.0.2 version as 80% of my Notes time is designer time !
This is shite!
I run Domino Designer (and Notes) on Ubuntu with Wine and I have only been able to get the basic version to run on Wine.
And there is no Debian version of Designer…
And I want to do Web services!!! Shite again!
Maybe we can replace designer files on 8.5 with 8.0.2? Who knows, what files we need to replace?
