Re: [MLO] Can we LOCK a node or folder?

[Yogesh Dhingra]

Perhaps yes.  But having to run a diff between two trees of information
should be an avoidable effort.

 If not, please consider adding this as a feature.  I recently
 discovered having deleted a whole tree of 4 levels deep without having a
 chance to recover it now.

[MLO] Cloud sync - branch

[JohnP]

I have two Window user profiles on my laptop - work and home.

I want to sync all my MLO to cloud for my home Windows user profile. This 
is also used on mobile devices.
I want to sync only my work branch for my work Windows user profile. Then 
my work branch profile does not see other other 'noise'.

Is it possible to sync to Cloud a full MLO file as well as a branch? or is 
there a smarter way of doing this without Zooming?

Thanks

John

Re: [MLO] A Quick Procedural Question about Workspaces

[Trevor Peck]

 I am also interested in how others handle this.

 I am having trouble making MLO Android useful, and when I have time to try
to fix that, I think I might find that views are more useful than tabs
because they can sync with mobile. So I might change up how I do things
then.

 Currently, I keep all of my tabs pinned and locked (I currently have 20,
and use about 8 of them daily), and whenever I try to change something the
lock prevents, it automatically opens a new tab. The only clunky part is
that it generally just copies the tab, and I have to re-click to make the
change I attempted. But otherwise, I simply use the new tab that opens up.
If a tab is not pinned and I don't recognize it anymore, I know it can be
closed, so if a tab ever bothers me I just close it.

 - Trevor.

Re: [MLO] Next Action Question

[Trevor Peck]

Let me take a crack at this. Though I don't think I have your answer.

 The most important bit: A Next Actions view will never show a task if that
task does not have a context that is currently open, unless "include
closed" is checked in the "Filters" pane. The Next Action view will show
more than one subtask, if more than one meets all the criteria to make the
list, without regard to the parent task being a project or not.

 With context times that don't overlap, only one of the tasks should ever
show on Next Actions list at one time. If "complete subtasks in order" is
checked, and the context is closed for the top task, then neither would
show. You mentioned that it isn't checked, and you didn't mention a view in
which neither showed, so this is probably not it. But the only thing I can
think of with the information given is that perhaps "complete subtasks in
order" is actually checked. It seems unlikely, but with the power of
"Automatic Formatting" it could look like you have selected the parent task
when in fact the properties panel on the right is showing you data for a
subtask.

 Extraneous junk to consider: I'm a fairly new user myself, and I've run
into quite a few issues like this. The amount of time I've spent trying to
figure out where I've made a mistake is very high. But I still believe MLO
is going to save me time in the future, once I get all of these things
right, so I chalk that time up to future productivity and consider it a
capital expense. I don't know if that will help you, but it's what got me
to go all in with MLO.

 I also realized that I'm not going to be able to get many good answers to
'how my system works' from customer support or from this forum, because the
flexibility of MLO gives me so many places to make a mistake and have a
task fall through the cracks that it's nearly impossible to even explain
the problem, let alone have someone figure out the answer for me.

 So I have quite a few "safety net" views, with corresponding repeat tasks
to check them, and whenever I don't understand why I missed something in
the view I expected it to be in, I create another task to remind me to try
to figure out why that is, and fix it.

 So, in the past few months, I've re-designed my system about four times.
But three of them were in the first couple of weeks, and one was recently.
So I suspect that my workflow is getting closer to how I work, re-designs
will become less frequent, and eventually (hopefully soon) it will be close
enough that I'll decide a re-design is not worth the effort.

 One tip I found useful: I use another checklist program or productivity
app for some projects, and simply insert a task and a link in MLO. I do
this when I haven't quite figured out how to make it perfect in MLO. I use
Keep, Toodledo, and Evernote. for these few. But the number of tasks listed
in those apps is shrinking and rapidly approaching zero.

 So, I probably didn't answer your question here, but hopefully that info
will help you decide to take the plunge and move to MLO.

 My reason for deciding to take the plunge was that MLO seems to be
designed to allow you to design a workflow however you wish, and when
someone comes on the forum saying things should be changed in a particular
way by the designers, the response is usually a polite version of "no, we
like it configurable, not configured".

 - Trevor.

Re: [MLO] Filtering on a context that is included in another context does not show all contexts.....

[Trevor Peck]

I think it works the other way. If, instead of X including A, B, and C, you
have A, B, and C each include X, then I think your filter will work the way
you desire. I can't remember the details, but I remember setting up all of
my includes backwards when I first set up my contexts.

 But, if it doesn't make sense to do it that way, you can set up the filter
to show you only tasks that include either B or X, but you'd need a lot of
rules. You would have to specifically exclude tasks that have A or C, but
not X or B. This is because tasks with only A will match a filter rule that
only tests for X, because A in this filter essentially *is* X by virtue of
being included.

 I've re-read that three times, and I think it's right, but even though I
wrote it, I'm having trouble following it. If somebody who is a better
writer than me would like to fix that up, feel free. :-).

Is there a way to disable the workspace tab ? I am running it in crossover
