[MLO] Defaults for a tab - inconsistent behavior with filters
Hi, I think the defaults for tabs feature works inconsistently regarding filters: when I set some defaults for a tab and then set Lock default in this tab to on, any change in a filter panel (on the left) opens new modified tab and the original tab remains unchanged. However when the lock is off, changes made to the filters are not noticed by MLO and I cannot use Restore defaults for this tab functionality. Is this a bug or a feature? :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MyLifeOrganized group.

[MLO] Re: highlight colors are limited
If you go to the Properties pane, in custom formating, click on More and then in the Highlight tab and then you have all the colors available.

[MLO] Re: Change: Archiving old completed tasks will not archive the subtasks from open Projects...
Hi Dwight, See below... hope this provides a little more depth as such... I’m guessing that you are not a user of repeating tasks with subtasks. You described your interests being focused on what’s to come and that you have little interest in what has been done. With repeating tasks, your past tasks become your future tasks and cannot easily be dismissed. This does not sound like you. I use a dedicated section for recurring actions-- which, as you describe, don't have any subtasks. This makes it easier to track the discrete one-off actions from the recurring actions, either in the context of @work or @home. So I’m guessing that you have a lot of tasks that are organized as projects. Because if you don’t have subtasks of repeating tasks and you don’t have tasks in projects, this change does not affect you. For me, many of the things about projects require tasks completed early to stick around into the later phases of the project. For example, you can’t compute a meaningful progress bar or percent complete if the early tasks have been archived. So I’m wondering what you get out of organizing your tasks as projects. Would you mind describing how you use the projects, and what you get out of them that you wouldn’t get from, say, a folder full of tasks. Sort of correct: I have a lot of projects that are organized as projects (building and organizing desk from the ground up (building organzing extensive wall desk, complicated home improvement projects that require a good deal of sub-sections to effectively track what's going on where...), with a good deal of discrete, non-repeating tasks. Once the task is done, I'm never doing it again. For my purposes, I really have no reason to 'track' progress on the project since it's not so much a function of how far along I am (I don't need to track for billing purposes, for example) but rather how much do I have left to complete, what's left on the plate that needs to be done, so I can strike the project knowing the hundreds-- quite possibly thousands (been working on this desk for over a year...) of discrete actions are completed in total before moving on to the next project. By designating projects as a 'project' , it also allows me to set up a dedicated tab that only displays the parent project title which makes it infinitely easier to review projects by upcoming time frame, as well as annual planning to determine which projects get the green light and which ones can be deferred. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MyLifeOrganized group.

[MLO] Feature Request: Automatic Context assignment when inserting into tabs
As I write this, I realize how hard it would be... I have different TABs set to filter on unique Contexts. So one tab, for example, would show all tasks with @X. I'd like for any tasks I insert while in this view to be assigned to this context. Given that this would only work if the filter was set to filter on only 1 task, maybe each tab could have a property which includes which Contexts should tasks created while in this view be assigned to ? -Ed -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MyLifeOrganized group.

Re: [MLO] Does work with Outlook 2013
I don't know about 2013. MLO works separately and integrates with Outlook. That means that whichever tasks you sync have a copy in both applications, and changes are propogated when you sync. MLO has fairly sophisticated ways of specifying which tasks and how to map them. It only maps tasks, nothing else in outlook. Perhaps someone else can answer whether the demo version of MLO will work to test out sync. I imagine it would. Be sure to start with a TEST database, and back up just in case!

Re: [MLO] Feature Request: Automatic Context assignment when inserting into tabs
One workaround is to group by Context. It does add another line, but (1) it makes it obvious which Context you are working in, and (2) you can hit Ins and the task will have the same context as the first task in the list. I think there is a bug, that if I am on a context and hit Ins it should ONLY get the context I've selected, not the other contexts that are attached to the first task in that list.

Re: [MLO] Feature Request: Automatic Context assignment when inserting into tabs
Argh, I misspoke. This workaround doesn't help because the task is placed next to the first task in the Outline, rather than in the inbox. When the view is grouped by Context that makes no sense, but there it is. On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 4:13 PM, Lisa Stroyan lstro...@gmail.com wrote: One workaround is to group by Context.
