Did you catch Laurence Glazier's post? He pointed out that you can set
up a recurring folder and then cause it to regenerate its subtasks by
right clicking the folder and selecting "skip occurence"
I'm still amazed that there's no clear path to sub-tasks when opening
a task - Am I missing something obvious or is there some logical
reason that this wouldn't work?
On Windows, if you are using a view that does not show subtasks because
it's a flat (or non-hierarchical, or to-do) view, you can position the
cursor at the beginning of a task and doubleclick and MLO will open an
"all tasks" (hierarchical) view with the same task selected. Its
subtasks will be right there under it, unless it's collapsed in which
case a single click will expand it.
There also appears to be no way to 'skip' an instance of a recurring
task from it's reminder (as in Outlook, for example). Looks like this
can only be done in the properties window in the desktop app. Surely
not? This is a really basic 'must-have' - I'm finding I can only do
this by completing the task then deleting the completed task - very
clumsy.
Skipping is a really great feature especially if you have missed several
occurrences of the task and you want to skip all of them up to today. If
you are just trying to skip a single, current occurrence I do not
understand what is so important about skipping - why notjust complete
the task, which you can easily do from any view or from the reminder. I
am guessing that it's because you don't want to be bothered about
deleting the completed task. But there are other excellent ways of
avoiding that. For one thing you can turn on automatic archiving of any
task that has been completed for more than one hour. Or, when you set up
the recurrence pattern (using the Task Recurrence pop-up) you can click
the Advanced Options button and then, in the Task Recurrence Advanced
Options popup, tick the checkbox for "Do not create a completed copy of
this task on recurring"
