Hi, Glad to see I'm not the only one coming up with the similar observations and using the product the way I do. A bit more observations after using MLO 6.
- *Dashboard :* Like you say Wolfgang, there was already the new window feature if tabs were not enough. Reason I will not use the dashboard is that you can't really edit much. No way to double-click, right click menu etc... Beside a grocery list, I rarely simply check mark a task as done. I need to enter a note, change the review date, refocus on the project top level to add, edit or remove tasks etc... All that is well served with what I had so far. - *Trigger :* Before, I had created some life habit tasks consisting of life habit recurrent messages every X, to be checked at the start of the day. So that shoulder tapping feature looked like a good replacement. But when you are in a mist of working, the gradual pop-pup gets disturbing at least with my set-up heavily using "Review". Will likely keep it for project completion but definitely not a cliff jumper for me. - *Reminder window :* Very minor change. 5.X type of. @Michael : I don't see customer feedback as a NEGATIVE thing. Quite to the contrary, a client taking the time to share his thoughts and concerns is a POSITIVE. No one is bashing this app here. Personally, MLO remains my favorite task manager and certainly my most used app. Michel Le ven. 6 janv. 2023, à 04 h 07, Wolfgang <wolfg...@schreiter.at> a écrit : > Michael, after trying out MLO 6 Beta I had similar thoughts.
