Re: [MLO] Re: MLO-Win v6 Ideas...

[Mark Levison]

@Hienz you’ve just summarized my entire MLO relationship for as long as 
I’ve used the app. Which apparently dates back 17yrs almost to the day.

Easy to plan with, Easy to keep track of everything. Hard to live with on a 
day to day basis, which is why I eventually wind up abandoning it every few 
years.

 Many times especially when I was new at this, I would click the task, 
 see nothing happen, and click it again several times (it is actually 
 normal 
 for me to either have trouble with my mouse button, or operating system 
 not 
 responding).
 Slowly I realize that I have now completed furture occurrences clear 
 into next year but of course I was only trying to complete the current one!

 Please make some kind of animation to indicate the recurrence coming 
 back, or at least show the check mark for a limited time to show that it 
 acknowledged my click!  Yes I am aware that if you are watching someplace 
 else on the screen and remember what the due date said then you would see 
 a 
 change to know, but obviously that will not do for this feature request. 
 We 
 were not looking over there most of the time; just make the actual 
 checkbox 
 do something.

[MLO] Re: Bug / Missing feature - hierarchical sorting

[imajeff]

Interesting; I've never seen a "save view" button let alone any "Discard 
changes". This is the "Outline" tab, a default; Is that what a view is, 
each tab? I struggle just to get something I can be productive with, so I 
don't have time to create special views.
Is this documented, whatever you are referring to?

The heading I clicked only says "View: *All tasks > >" so there was not 
even any indication it would try to sort top-level tasks in alphabetical 
order. There is lack of communication as well as the problem I didn't even 
know what had been done or if I needed to undo until later.

The thing is, if a "saved" view is listing each task and in my custom 
order, do you mean when I clicked that heading which sorted by alphabetical 
order,  there is no "alphabetical order" mode being saved? It just 
independently saves an order which happened to be alphabetical that time? 
Is that why there is no way to change the sort back to not alphabetical?
This is perplexing, from a design point of view.

You can export views, tabs and other settings and transfer them to another

I am sorry that you faced this issue. By clicking "Discard changes" (here 
is the screenshot) you should be able to get 
to the original outline if you previously saved your view.

[MLO] Re: Bug / Missing feature - hierarchical sorting

[Alyona (MLO Support)]

By design sorting in views applies only to top level tasks. But it is 
possible to enable sorting of subtasks in certain branches. Select all top 
level items, right-click ->  Advanced -> Sort subtasks
Here is a screenshot:

Re: [MLO] Re: MLO-Win v6 Ideas...

[Heinz]

I have been working with MLO for many years now.
My thoughts (mainly) about the desktop version.

*I love* MLO for my task planning.
It is a very versatile planning tool and task organizer.
I love the flawless synchronization across all my devices. 
I love the different ways of adding tasks to my inbox (task-by-email, Siri 
reminders, ...)

*I can live* with MLO for my todo lists.
I managed to set up a reasonable overview about my upcoming tasks, using 
workspaces, views, filters and sorting.
My standard view "My Day" shows technically all I need, but it is neither a 
nice nor a motivating user interface. 
A more attractive wrapping around a list of undone tasks wouldn't hurt :-)

*I am lost* with MLO when "Doing" things.
For the tasks I have to do on my computer I would wish MLO could support me 
more in focusing at the current task.
Maybe the next evolution step of the "Zoom" function?
My idea would be something like an always-on-top vertical task bar/window, 
showing 

   - the task I am working on 
   - the time I have been spending on this task including an alarm  
   (pomodoro technique) 
   - a plain notes field for quickly putting down ideas, next steps or 
   links without diverting my focus to a separate tool.

Today I try to bridge this gap by using a desktop notes program in 
parallel, but I have to copy my notes back and forth to MLO.
