Yes, that would make the Tasks module much more usable : tasks deadlines are much better put in context when displayed within the calendar view. In Evolution, a calendar entry can become a meeting when the "Schedule Meeting" context menu option is selected and participants added. It could by the same kind of user interaction become a task deadline : select the "Set Task Deadline" context menu option and the calendar entry becomes a task as well as a calendar entry. The same mechanism in reverse would be a task becoming a calendar entry as well as a task when a deadline is set. The linking feature in Lotus Organizer (Windows 3.x days) implemented something similar. The concept was good, but the UI was clunky as hell. I would be overjoyed if Evolution managed to get the integration right. > If at all possible, I'd also like to see some dependencies in the > Task/ToDo listings Oh yes. A hierarchical tasks manager makes life so much easier that I can't imagine living without one. I need that so much that I ditched using Evolution's Tasks module in favor of HNB http://hnb.sourceforge.net/Screen-shots/screenshot1.png Trees help a great deal in structuring thought. The problem is I do not see how hierarchical tasks would get along with Palm synchronization : the Palm devices can't handle anything richer than their native model. A task copied to the Palm could be stripped of its extended attributes such as hierarchical context, but if it is modified on the Palm and copied back upon synchronization it would be hard to make it fit back. Maybe keeping track of unique objects by stuffing a serial number in some infrequently used field... _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
