Re: [MLO] Hide in To-Do: Do you ever use?
That is pretty much how I use it, too. I capture ideas that I am not ready to act on or tasks that I don't want to forget entirely but which shouldn't have enough priority yet to appear on my to-do list - stuff that I do when I have spare time.

[MLO] MLO android widget
for some reason the widget changes its filters whenever i enter the program and exit. sometimes it will display a bunch of active tasks and then sometimes it will only display 1. Is the definition of Active mean only todays tasks? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MyLifeOrganized group.

[MLO] Re: What and When to expect MLO4
People experienced with a tool deserve the respect that their intuitive desire for a new feature, like more text formatting in Notes is correct. True, not everyone is going to be good at expressing their wishes in a well stated, rational fashion, and they can still have insight on real improvements. But it is also true that experienced developers can see that a flag and a status are usually the same thing conceptually, and what differentiates them is the usage case. The art and genius of development and customer management is to be able to hear I want Flags, understand I want a status with a visual cue so I can get meaning in a glance and deliver what the customer wants without turning a masterpiece of programming into a collage of features stapled together. If the customer can express their desires with some usage context, that is easier to do, and everyone wins. I think what bothers people about the suggestions along the lines of rich text, calendar view, etc, is not that anyone questions that some people would like and use it. What bothers people - or maybe I should speak for myself - what bothers me about these suggestions is that they are at odds with what makes the tool so good. The selling features of MLO, to my way of thinking, is that it is fast, light, stable, flexible and powerful. What is currently wrong with it is feature bloat. We have flags and statuses and goals and priorities and color coding and on and on and on. Adding all these things hogde- podge, I think, has reduced the ability to add more powerful and elegant features. All of these kinds of features could be handled by custom fields and a robust skinning system for instance. Then features like this could be added quickly and easily by releasing templates - and we would not have these religious wars - and the tool could stay lightweight and simple and powerful for me, and full of multiple thinly disguised status fields and visual cues for others. The issue is really one of getting agreement and consensus on what MLO is. There are many suggestions for a web front end to cloud sync, for instance. A good feature, if MLO is a way to access a todo list over the internet, but I thought it was a way to manage a very complex and busy life in a very simple to use yet powerful way - so I see auto- syncing and rapid entry and mobile platforms as key features. A web front end can be many things, but no web front end has ever been called flexible or powerful . Is a calendar view a good idea - it is, if MLO is a dayplanner and organizer - but I see MLO as a collector and organizer of tasks, which you then complete in meetings and appointments arranged in a collaboration system like outlook or lotus notes, so I view a calendar as feature bloat unless you are going to add workgroup calendars and messenging to it as well - otherwise it will just be a way to organize appointments with yourself, which other people will just book over top of in your collaboration tool. Outlook sync, on the other hand - is a good feature that could still use some work. That is my usage model - a task collector and organizer for a complex life in a large organization. i would imagine, if I were self employed, I would have a different view. Certainly the calendar view would be a lot more compelling, for instance. So what is MLO and who is it for? Of course, here is the problem - I don't decide what MLO is or who the target market is. Andrey does, based on our input and his motivations and opinions. And once he does decide, there is nothing wrong with him saying - that is not what MLO is trying to be, and therefore I won't build that feature. To argue that most users want X. therefore he should build it is silly. That is how zunes get built. Most users are mediocre, with mediocre ideas (by definition, in fact). MLO needs to be excellent at something. I say all this without intending to be disrespectful, buy the way. I know for instance, all the status fields and goals and so on are required to make the auto-generated priority system work - and there are clearly people for whom that feature is a centrally important selling feature. It just is not for me. I am not right, and neither are they. Embrace my idea of custom fieds, and MLO can be a powerful way to hierarchically manage almost any kind of small tibits of information. Embrace their ideas, and it is a lot more limited, but it is a more powerful tasking engine. What is MLO supposed to be? That is the question.

[MLO] 3.6.1 Installed - no more autofill for contexts
Don't know if this is the right place for this, but I just installed 3.6.1. Before this install, if I would type a letter into the context box of a task, a dropdown menu would show me the possible contexts that started with that letter. Now that feature seems to have disappeared. Anyone know why this might be? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MyLifeOrganized group.

Re: [MLO] MLO android widget
Active doesn't mean only today's tasks. It should show all leaf tasks that start =today, aren't folders, don't have hide-in-todo set, aren't dependent on another task, etc. But I believe if you configure your view in the app with filters, it applies to that view in the widget as well. Can you give more details about what your view setup is?

[MLO] Re: MLO 3.6 in Linux/Wine
I had the pervious version working with Wine on OSx. I upgraded to 3.6.1 and now get the following error when I try to launch it: err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth = 3.0.25 is in your path. err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
