Re: [MLO] Re: goodbye everyone
You can get away with mostly free apps on android, which I don't think is the case for iPhone. You might be surprised at how little money you would have to spend on apps to switch over. If you want specific apps, like MLO obviously, you have to pay. But for a lot of purposes I just use whichever app is best of the free in that category.

[MLO] Re: goodbye everyone
Hello, First, i want to thank you for your incredible concern and rich response. I'm felling very flattered that you and the other guys/girls took some time to talk to me. I didn't know that the app for android could do more. You described a nice way to add tasks and bring me back to a temptation that i have from time to time: switch to the android plataform -- the main point is probably Itunes. But i am a old user of iphone and ipad, and my wife came aboard to iphone and ipad too last year. I have some money invested in apps along the years and now shared by both of us. I dread to search and buy all that apps again and lose the benefits to have all the family with the same mobile plataform.

[MLO] Re: goodbye everyone
Hi, I think we can always have a good talk about our needs and solutions. In my view is not complaining but a way to learn from each others experiences. Many times i have multiple needs that are not addressed by a single solution, but disperse. That's why something can be great and we can still move on. The new solution doesn't have all the stuff we need just a better trade-off. In my case, i have a strong need that my software can run on linux, ios and windows (two web interfaces can do the job just fine) without have to remember to press buttons. In a very close priority, the need to fulltext search and flexible querys. I didn't find all this in one solution. That's why i still think MLO is great in the windows desktop. In the end i'm agreeing with you, don't you think?

[MLO] Re: goodbye everyone
Hi Chuck, I moved to Gqueues. The todo queries (they call smartqueues) are very very simpler compared to MLO. But the trade-off was better to me. What i do on my ipad in a meeting is waiting for me in my linux work pc. I can see them also in my windows notebook at home and during travels, or in my iphone during my constantly traffic jams here in Brasilia. Since dropbox my mindset cannot operate with manualy sinc anymore. Of course, is a choice.

[MLO] hyperlinks containing bracket characters
Creating a link to a task and clicking it works fine within MLO. But if I
copy the URL to any other app (try Firefox) MLO is triggered but gives a
"File not found" error. In other apps like Word, the issue is with the
curly brackets "{" and "}" which is not allowed as per RFC specs. Can these
issues be fixed?
