Re: [Bug 591928] Re: GTG's panel applet list is bad at managing large numbers of tasks
What you're saying is to show in the applet menu exactly the same list of tasks that is visible in the taskbrowser (if a user selects a tag/goes in the workview mode, both the Browser and the applet show the new set of tasks). It might be a little bit confusing, but it would be quite handy too. It would even be quite trivial to implement. The too-many-tasks problem is not completely solved with this approach though, and I don't see an easy solution to that. My long term goal, when we implement searches and saved searches (or views, in SQL terms), was to show one of those in the applet. -- GTG's panel applet list is bad at managing large numbers of tasks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591928 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This makes it very un-useful if you have more than a few tasks logged in GTG. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR The task list will be more relevant to people with large numbers of tasks listed. See bug 591920 for one suggestion. Others might include letting you somehow filter by tag in the panel applet, or letting you use the main window to mark certain tasks for today's work. I agree this is a big problem with the indicator. I make heavy use of start dates on everything for organizing my tasks, as Luca suggested on #591920 but still the gtg indicator is bigger than my monitor (it's common for me to have 50+ tasks in my daily workview). Obviously, for situations where the workview is excessively long like this, there needs to be a way to constrain it in some fashion. It seems to me that the indicator is most useful when displaying a shorter list, say 20 or fewer items. The question though is, what should this constraint look like? Some suggest limiting it by tag. That is probably the easiest solution to implement, although it implies we'd need some way in the indicator to select which tag to sort against, and that seems like a tough problem; people with so many tasks that they need to constrain the list may well also have an excessive number of tags! Here is one blue sky idea... What if the gtg browser kept track of the last selected tag (or last selected task's tag) and communicated that to the indicator. Would that be too confusing? Or would it enable the indicator to better keep track of whatever context the user is in? -- GTG's panel applet list is bad at managing large numbers of tasks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591928 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yeah we've had some discussions on the list regarding prioritization schemes. My guess is as new filtering/sorting/prioritizing systems become available, the indicator can hook into whichever of those are most appropriate. -- GTG's panel applet list is bad at managing large numbers of tasks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591928 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
