Re: [MLO] GTD + Email Inbox Zero using MLO & Outlook

2024-07-09 Thread Dwight Arthur

Hi, Alex. I see that your circumstances are different from mine. But
for what its worth, I use Thunderbird for email. I have an address
group named "#3" which turns out to be really fast to type.
addresses in the group are my tasks by email address from mlo, and
also a dummy gmail mailbox that's used just to catch copies of
messages sent into tasks by email. I can send an email to #3 in
about 4 keystrokes. Not a hot key but about as good. I'm fortunate
to not have any restrictive policies in my way, Every once in a
great while a message does not show up in mlo but I have never gad
one fail to show up in the dummy gmail box. The tasks show up with
no attachments but any attachments can be retrieved from the dummy
mailbox.

Hi Folks,

Has anyone figured out a method to quickly and preferably
using shortcut keys to turn Outlook desktop emails into MLO
tasks using primarily keyboard just as you would normally drag
and drop emails into MLO using mouse?

I realize MLO offers:

1. Ability to forward email to MLO cloud email account. This
is a bit of an issue as some companies have data security
compliance related policies which make this difficult. In
addition there chance of failure if email doesn't arrive and/or
forcing to remove any possible attachments prior to email going
out.

2. Ability to create outlook tasks which sync to MLO, but
that seems concerning as it creates a bit of disorganization.
Trying to avoid using outlook as a task manager and instead have
all tasks solely in MLO.

3. Manually creating task in MLO using CTRL+Shift+M but this
method is not ideal as subject / body of email not copied as
well as link to open email from within MLO.

4. Using mouse to drag email into MLO; works great. Copies
email subject, body and outlook link to MLO exactly as I would
want and currently what I am doing. Unfortunately this method is
a bit slow for someone that is trying to process emails very
rapidly in Outlook based on Tiago Forte Inbox Zero method. He
suggest using keyboard shortcuts for very rapid processing of
emails. Any emails requiring any action / follow up to go into
task manager. In addition I have noticed if you are in "Views"
section of MLO Inbox and don't have any other tasks in the inbox
than drag and drop doesn't work. You either need to create at
least one task manually in the inbox or need to go to active
actions list and than can drag and drop into inbox. Essentially
slows things down a bit.

Ideally it would be nice to see much closer integration
between MLO and Outlook desktop (considering this is one of the
most used email clients), perhaps through a Outlook DLL COM
Add-in that would enable to use keyboard shortcuts within
Outlook to quickly turn emails (with subject & body text
just like using mouse in method#3) into tasks and perhaps have
the DLL COM addon offer additional options to have certain tasks
with additional MLO commonly used features like flags and/or
other options that are specific to MLO.

Has anyone ever wanted this capability and/or found solutions
to solve this? Has the MLO team ever considered further more
advanced integrations between MLO and Outlook and/or given us
some means to integrate ourselves. I would certainly pay for an
upgrade to get this capability.

Here is the link to Tiago Forte Inbox Zero method for anyone
interested in reviewing his suggestions for quickly processing
emails.

Other than that MLO has been a delight to use and I am glad I
have come across this wonderful application.

Maybe soomeone else will directly answer your question (I can't) but
I can tell you the workaround. In the Advanced section check the box
be "add advanced" then click "Setup" and enter rules that implement
the filter you want. For example, if you want only tasks that have a
due date between yesterday and tomorrow you would enter

If you need more detailed instructions, reply and ask for them.

Re: [MLO] Re: Recurring Tasks, But only certain times of year

2024-06-17 Thread Dwight Arthur

I have a similar situation, my setup is less sophisticated but it
works.

set the task to recurr every Monday and Friday with no end or
limit.
when the task comes up on my to-do list in November (or late
October) instead of doing the task I edit the recurrence window
to say that it runs every Monday and Friday starting next May

that's it. the task is inactive until the start date next May
arrives then it runs weekly until November when I edit it again.

There isn't a built-in feature for setting up such a yearly
recurrence in MLO. You can try the following workaround:

1. Set Weekly recurrence for your task:

Set the task to recur weekly on the specific days (e.g.,
Monday and Friday).
Set the start and due dates for the upcoming occurrence.

2. Set 'End date' to the last day you plan to perform this task in
October (see the screenshot attached)

3. Create a parent task for this recurring task and name it
something like "Set up recurring task for next year."

How it works: Every week, the task will appear on your To-Do list
twice. When you complete the last occurrence in October, the
recurring task will mark itself as complete. At that point, the
parent task will become active, reminding you to reschedule the
recurring task for the next year.

2024-06-07 Thread Dwight Arthur

hi, now+4h, other than syntax issues, would mean 4 hours into the
future from now, which is not what you want. "today" is this day at
midnight. (not sure about this but I think "today" used as a start
time is midnight a minute before 00:01 and "today" used as a due
time is today midnight a minute after 23:59). I don't think
constructs like "h" work on the fields area of an advanced filter.
The number used for dates and times equals days from some start
point, the fractional part represents time since midnight. So today
at noon would be on "today+0.5", no spaces

this afternoon would be on or after after today+0.5 and on or before
today-1 (after 0.5 of today, or noon, and before tomorrow)

Re: [MLO] How can I put my custom views under their own parent in the Views panel?

2024-05-26 Thread Dwight Arthur

starting with the left hand sidebar saying "views" at t he top and
showing a list of view titles
1. click on someview. Notice there is a highlight bar under the view
name.
2. click and hold on the view name. Be sure you are on the name
itself and not the highlight bar
3. continue holding while you drag the view name to the group where
you want it
4. release the click to drop the view name into the new group
5. look for a pop up window that says "Do you really want to
rearrange the views using drag" with a button that says
"yes, allow drag & drop for some time". click on the button

you are done, the view is moved. if you move another one soon you
will not get another popup.
you can use this same procedure to re-order the views within a group
or to move a group within the list of groups.

Re: [MLO] Re: Hours context is not working as I would expect/hope

2024-05-05 Thread Dwight Arthur

This is a long standing issue, one of the two most problematic
aspects around context hours. The other is that if you have a lot of
contexts that have hours that all need to change at once (for
example, outdoor activities that close at sunset, or things
rescheduled when daylight savings changes) you have to go through
the list of contexts and change each affected context individually,
you cxant select multiple contexts and change all at once.

For the issue you named, I believe that an easy and very useful
solution would be if the user could select between "and" versus "or"
for how to combine open times for multiple contexts. I hope this
will be implemented some day. In the meanwhile, here are some
workarounds:

1. create intersection contexts. For example if you have a call to
make in the morning, instead of having a context "calls" and a
context "morning" and specifying both, create a context "morning
calls". Disadvantage - you end up with an unwieldy huge number of
contexts

2. create a context for every time segment that affects your tasks,
like "mornings" "monday mornings" "before breakfast" etc. include
"anytime" and "never". Mark all of your time-related contexts as
always closed. Then, every task gets a pair of contexts, like
"calls" and "morning". Disadvantage, if you assign a non-time
context to a task and do not remember to add context "anytime" the
task will never become active. Or maybe make a context "calls always
closed" and then is you associate a task with "calls" it will always
be open and if you want it to be morning you could specify "calls
always closed" and "morning"

both of these workarounds are messy and no recommended for long term
work

I have done a bit more digging and see the paradigm that MLO

hours limitations.

I still would like if we somehow could choose if we wanted to
combine open, or combine closed, hours in both the included
contexts, as well as in the normal context field for each task.

In the meantime, it looks like one option is to use filters
on views where I can exclude contexts I use for times of the
day, and show all the rest.

Using tags is also an option, but I think contexts have more
overall capability (eg including in all subfolders, included
contexts, etc) which would make this difficult for me.

If anyone has other solutions, I would be happy to hear them.

What I see is if I have only the context with the hours

BUT! If I add a context that is open (most are open all
day) then that overrides the restriction and I see the task
all day.

This seems the opposite of hour a limiting factor should
work.

Am I doing something wrong?

Re: [MLO] MLO won't open my file, says I need access permission

2024-03-23 Thread Dwight Arthur

Hi, TS. I have lost count of how many times I have had a computer reboot
for some reason while MLO is running. Each time, MLO will ask me whether
MLO hung or whether it was a problem outside of MLO. I've not seen a
destroyed file as a result. But your next steps are the same regardless
pf hoe the file got smashed. Basicaslly you need to find the most recent
copy of your data. I can think of three places to look:

1. MLO's own backups. This is what Michael is telling you about. Look at
the directory where your *.ml file is stored and try to open a
subdirectory called Backups. Find the most recently created file and try
to open it in MLO

2. If you are using the MLO cloud sync and if you have not sent any data
to the cloud since your restart, you can recover your data from the
cloud. Create a new blank *.ml file. Do not touch the file or its tasks,
folders etc until after you have linked to the cloud and synched. You
might get a message about an unusually high number of tasks to synch,
just accept it. After the synch your new file will be prettty close to
the file you lost.

3. Are you backing up your Windows file system on any regular basis? If
so, find and restore the most recent backup of your *.ml file. If you
cannot open that, find and restore the immediately prior backup/

Re: [MLO] Task Regeneration without a Start/Due Date

2024-02-11 Thread Dwight Arthur

create a task with start date today and due date in 100 years. Set
"lock period" and set it to regenerate two weeks after completion.
When you mark it completed it will regenerate with start time two
weeks from today and due time 100 years plus two weeks from today.
Two weeks from today it will become active and will appear in your
lists of active tasks.

I want a list of anytime items I can pull from, where if I
complete the said item it will regenerate after a number of
days. For example, lets say I tend to get a haircut every two
weeks. This doesn't actually have a "due" date, it's just
something to do if I get around to it. If I get a haircut I
want to be able to complete this task and have it reappear 2
weeks later, without a start/due date.

I can't seem to make this work.

Re: [MLO] An Eureka moment and idea - The True MLO Tool!

2024-02-10 Thread Dwight Arthur



  
  
Hi, Patricio

I believe that you are describing project management tools. Project
management tools and task management tools have many similarities.
Project management tools are more powerful and take more time to set
up and maintain. If you can afford to hire someone to track your
time, update every task every day to reflect additional time spent,
revise estimated resources per task as needed, and research and code
all the inter-task dependencies then you may be ready for a project
management tool. Maybe you can do all of that yourself in which case
I salute you. I tried it before I found MLO and I found that I was
spending more time on managing my projects than I was spending on
getting them done.

One of the things that a good project management tool will do for
you is to identify the critical path, which is to say, out of all of
the tasks available for you to work on right now, which is the one
that is most holding up other tasks? The idea is that by throwing
resources at the tasks on the critical path you can complete your
project sooner.

Here is a helpful guide to some current project management tools:
https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-project-management-software

I have not tried any of these tools, my experience was with a prior
generation. Maybe today's tools are enough better that what you want
to do is feasible with them. But for me, a task management tool is
what I need. More powerful is not always better. Managing tasks with
a project manager sometimes felt to me like trying to spread jam on
my toast using a chain saw.

  Hi MLO Community!
  
  
  I hope this message finds you well. Today, I'd like to share an
  insight that recently crystallized for me, something that has been
  on my mind and challenging me for quite some time. I believe I've
  finally managed to articulate a fundamental aspect of personal
  task management that we could all benefit from discussing.
  
  At its core, managing personal tasks is fundamentally about
  managing our most precious resources: time (and energy, health and
  money too...). However, for the purposes of this discussion, let's
  focus on time management.
  
  Many of us use tools like MyLifeOrganized (MLO) to manage our
  tasks. MLO, for example, offers an impressive array of features
  that enable the creation and management of a sophisticated system
  for tracking tasks, to-do items, and even entire projects. It
  allows for the specification of task duration, priority, urgency,
  and supports an almost limitless hierarchy of task categorization.
  
  Despite these capabilities, a crucial question arises: what real
  value do these features offer if they don't simplify critical
  aspects of time management? Specifically:
  
  Time Allocation Across Life's Roles and Areas: How can we
  easily visualize and adjust our time distribution across different
  areas of our lives, roles, projects, or goals to ensure it aligns
  with our current ambitions and priorities?
  
  Planning Our Time Effectively: How can we plan our days,
  weeks, and months in a way that is realistic and flexible,
  ensuring that we don't overload ourselves with more tasks than we
  can handle in the available time?
  
  Adherence to Planned Time: What mechanisms do we have to
  track our actual time spent on tasks compared to our plans,
  enabling a thorough plan vs. action analysis?
  
  While there are workarounds and methods to achieve some of these
  objectives within existing applications, they often feel like
  makeshift solutions rather than integrated, purpose-built
  features.
  
  I believe there's an opportunity for us to discuss and perhaps
  envision enhancements or new tools that more directly address
  these fundamental aspects of personal task management. How can we
  better integrate time management into our task management
  applications to truly support our goals and improve our
  productivity and satisfaction?
  
  I'm eager to hear your thoughts and any experiences you might
  share on this topic. Together, we can explore ways to make our
  task management tools work even harder for us.
  
  
  Patricio.

Re: [MLO] How to create a clever shoppinglist for Android?

2024-01-27 Thread Dwight

Hello, un-named person who is probably from Sweden. Could you provide a name? 
It doesn't have to be your real name, just something we can call you by.

My shopping list is a great application for MLO, there are many features that 
make it easy. I understand that you want to add items easily to your shopping 
list, and you want to be able to display the list grouped by store, and that 
you will have a different context for each store. That makes a lot of sense. 
You are also asking something about text tags and flags, but I'm not really 
sure what you're trying to do or how you're trying to use these features. Let 
me just throw a few ideas out.

You can make a contact that includes all of your stores. You can call it 
something like, stores. If each contact relating to an individual store is 
shown as being included in the grouping context stores, then you can view that 
includes the context stores and you'll get all of the individual store contacts 
with it. If you use the of you like active by context on the android, it will 
show you your purchases grouped by store. If a purchase has more than one story 
related context it will show in your list twice once under each store. That's 
probably the way you want it, right?

If you enter new tasks by Android using the feature fortennis input to inbox 
with parsing, you can enter the contacts as you're entering the task, and it 
will add it in the right place of your active by context view. Folders are very 
valuable thing and you can do lots of stuff with them, but you don't need them 
to get the purchase into the right store, you can just enter the contacts.

Also, be sure you don't miss the geolocation feature, also known as nearby. You 
can specify a location for each contact, and you can create a view that will 
show you purchases pending for a context whose location matches where you are. 
In other words when you get close to the store you can get an alarm that 
there's a pending purchase at a store that's near you. And as you enter the 
store you can look at your phone and see exactly the items you want to 
purchase. It's a great feature.

If I'm telling you stuff you already know, I apologize. You probably have more 
questions, go ahead and send them in.

Re: [MLO] Strike through completed recurring tasks?

2024-01-25 Thread Dwight Arthur

Pat, try this:
In the recurrence window, where you set up the schedule for your
task's recurrence, click the Advanced Options button.
In the Advanced Options window find the last item, called "Do not
create a completed copy of this task upon recurrence"
The checkbox on this item is probably ticked. Click on it and leave
it unticked.
Click OK to dismiss the Advanced Options window and click OK again
to dismiss the recurrence window
The next time you mark your task completed (and it gets rescheduled
according to the recurrence instructions) you will see a second copy
of the task. One copy will be the instance you completed, showing
when it started and was due and when you completed it, and it will
display with the strikethrough you want. The other copy will be the
rescheduled instance, showing the new start and due schedule, not
completed, no strikethrough. I hope that this is what you want.

If I mark a task as completed (a task that is NOT in the ToDo

However, it doesn't do that with recurring tasks. Is there any way

there's no visual indication that the task has been completed.

This comes up because I have different project tasks
organized on different tabs in MLO. So I'm not using the ToDo
list exclusively for checking off tasks. On the ToDo list,
marking a recurring task as completed (by selecting its
checkbox) makes it disappear (same as non-recurring tasks). So
it's not an issue there. It's only when you're in one of the
other views that this comes up.

Thanks for the help!

Re: [MLO] feature request: one-time-delay for recurring actions

2023-12-11 Thread Dwight

In my opinion, the suggestion from Steven Jones is exactly correct. The only 
thing I would add, is that the "delete this task"  item should be set up so 
that it sorts to the top of the daily to-do list on the day that it becomes 
active. That way you can get it out of the way early, and the actual work to be 
done will be at the point in the task list that it should be at based on the 
original setup.

You certainly seem to be headed in the correct direction. It was something to

[MLO] context hours

2023-10-22 Thread Dwight Arthur



  
  
I have recently re-thought how I am using my time, which resulted in
some extensive changes to the open hours schedule for some of my
contexts. Some contexts have complex hours. There are several groups
of contexts that all have the same hours.

When I make a change, in many cases, I have to make the same change
to a number of different contexts. This is tedious and
timeconsuming.

Request #1
let me open the HOURS page for one context and copy it and then
go into another context and paste it

Request #2
When I open a context and check of other contexts that are
contained in the first context, give an option that the contained
contexts will inherit the hours of the container context. The
advantage of this over request #1 is that future changes to the
container context would immediately show up in the contained
contexts, no additional copying and pasting needed

2023-10-06 Thread Dwight Arthur

Hi, Muhammed. I think I can help.

First, the recurrence formula describes the due date. The error
message you are getting sounds like you created a formula that
matched the start date. Redo the formula to match the due date, task
repeats every Thursday. be sure the "lock period" checkbox is not
ticked, and then enter a lead time of 9 days. I would them tick the
"lock period" box, it prevents me from changing the task duration by
accident. But this is up to you whether you need that or not.

This will get you about halfway there. Next Tuesday the task will be
active and will appear on your list of active tasks. Completion will
be Thursday of the second week.When you mark it completed, it will
regenerate with start on the Tuesday of the second week and
completion on Thursday of the third week. This seems pretty close to
what you want, except that on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday you
want to see two open tasks and we will have only one, the older one
unless you copmplete it early, and then it will switch to the newer
one. A single task in MLO cannot appear in two different places at
once with two different sets of dates.

The way to fix this is to create two tasks. Set one to start this
Tuesday and complete next Thursday, and set the other to start next
Tuesday and complete the following Thursday. Set each of these tasks
to repeat every two weeks on Thursday. I think this will give you
just what you want.

Any questions, write back.

Hi I have homework that is set every week on Tueday and due the
following week on Thursday. How do I set up a recurrence relation
so that the task repeats every Tuesday? Everytime I try doing so,
I get an error message that my due date does not match my
recurrence pattern; perhaps because of the potential of having two
of the same task active at once.

Re: [MLO] Re: Cloud sync limits

2023-08-05 Thread Dwight

Steve, I am with Jeff in not yet understanding the issue.

You could keep each of your projects separate, with it's own beginning, tasks, 
and end, storing all of these projects (simple to scary complex) in a single 
MLO database. You could zoom in to each project when you're working on it, and 
it would be the only thing you see until you zoom back out. The backup problems 
will go away. Now, you do not find that this solution works as well for you as 
keeping each project in its own database. Could you please explain what is it, 
that you can do with each projects in its own database, that helps you out as 
opposed to all of them in a single database.

Re: [MLO] I'm looking for the Mail to Task Ability.

Hi, Nikolaus,
Task By Email (TBE) works by dropping the tasks it receives from your email 
into your cloud sync file. The next time you sync the tasks show up in your 
task list. Consequently, the first step in utilizing TBE is to subscribe to Mlo 
cloud. Once you have accomplished that, here are the remaining instructions:

Re: [MLO] Duplicate Task for all Contexts?

2023-07-23 Thread Dwight

Hi, gary. I have a suggestion which might save a little bit of work. Not a big 
improvement but probably a little better. Make a folder for each one of your 
clients, and make sure that the folder has that client's context. Then when you 
have a new task that you need to do for multiple clients, set up the task in 
some neutral location and then copy it to each of the appropriate folders. On 
the way into the folder if your options are set correctly, the task will be 
given the context of its parent folder. This is, to me, a little bit easier 
than opening each task and editing it to change the context.

Hi, Grant. I use analog together with Evernote, mostly as a way of storing

external app links into ml. I agree that if the mlo URL was Richard it could be

Re: [MLO] Re: Redefining dates?

2023-02-19 Thread Dwight Arthur

Many of my tasks run past midnight; I turn on the "use time"
checkbox and set start/due times to something like noon Monday to
4am Tuesday. Instead of looking at tasks for today I look at tasks
for now through now+0.5 which means 12 hours from now.I have a
number of repeating tasks that start over each day, they are in a
project that re[peats daily, start time 6am today and end time 4am
tomorrow. I never get everything in this list done, so the project
is always incomplete, each new day when I get to my computer or
phone I mark yesterday's daily project complete and all the
subtasks regenerate as new, uncompleted tasks. This all works
without a hitch for me except for holidays.

One big issue I have with all the todo-tools: The day

4am. It gets confusing when all of a sudden a lot of tasks
appear as overdue, when midnight just passed by and I'm

get mixed up with new tasks for "tomorrow". Or recurring
daily tasks...

Is it possible to treat "today" in tasks to last until

I'm on the fence about dashboards, main reason is that maybe 90% of my MLO time 
is on my phone where there are no dashboards and besides, it wouldn't fit.

But you have to consider marketability. It's important to meet the needs of 
your customer base but there's not a whole lot of new revenue there. Features 
that bring in new sales are critical. I don't know but I could see dashboards 
bringing in some new customers.

Re: [MLO] How to create a Project view w/o checking every task

2022-12-12 Thread Dwight Arthur

easy enough. As I understand it, you are looking at a task list
(non-hierarchical) view with an IsProject filter and you are not
getting all of the tasks in your project, only the ones with the
Project box checked.
First, let me affirm that you should check the project box only
for the high level parent under which all of the project tasks
have been placed. If you do it this way, your view will show you a
list of all of your projects but will not show you any of the
tasks that comprise each of the projects. Here's the cure:
1. Go into the filter definition for your view
2. Find the Show Hierarchy button and set it to YES
3. Find the CONFIG button that lives to the right of the Find
Hierarchy and click it
4. in the config popup turn on the checkbox for "include child
items" and turn of everything else in that popup
That should do it. What this says is that you want to see all the
subtasks in each of your projects but you do not need to see the
parents, if any, of each project.

Greetings all,

I'm defining each project with a high level folder, then an

The problem I'm having is when I try to create a view, I
can't get JUST projects to display. I'm using the Advanced tab
with the "IsProject" rule, but that appears to be on a task by
task basis when what I was hoping for was displaying anything
from the top level on down.

Any suggestions on how to define a collection of
tasks/subtasks in MLO such that I can display it as a project
via a view without having to click the Project checkbox every
time I enter a new task?

Re: [MLO] Context autofill on created views

2022-11-27 Thread Dwight

If your tasks are in a folder and the folder has a context and you have 
"inherit context" on, then any task you create will inherit the context of the 
folder.

Not certain but maybe if your view has group-by-context and you create a task 
within one of the groups, mAybe the new task will inherit the context of the 
group.

Re: [MLO] Re: How does MLO Sync really work?

2022-11-27 Thread Dwight

Just a note on the issue of whether sync means longer delays. 

If you are synching between a phone and a computer and both of them are 
available whenever you use MLO, waiting for cloud sync to kick in could cause 
minor delays. If your devices are in different locations or accessible on 
different schedules, cloud synch SAVES time.

Example, you have MLO on phone and home computer. You make a change on your 
phone while at work. Using WIFI sync, you wait till you get home, verify that 
the two devices can connect, then run a sync. Using cloud, both devices synch 
in the background and when you get home, your home computer is already updated.

Re: [MLO] Re: Checklists

2022-11-22 Thread Dwight Arthur

The codes described by Mario are very useful, but they do not
have any intelligence. All they do is display the character for
ticked-off checkbox or the character for the unchecked (empty)
checkbox. There's no popping up, graying out, etc.
If I needed the checklist functionality Sam described, and it had
to be implemented in MLO, I would use a list of subtasks. If MLO
were to implement the functionality described by Mario, I would be
a user.

ClickUp? If so, can someone describe how to do this in detail?
Subtasks are often overkill when you just need a simple
checklist. I think TickTick has the best implementation of
this that I have seen and it would be great to see it in MLO.
In TickTick, you just click an icon in the notes section and
it pops up a checklist or converts any existing notes into a
checklist based on line breaks. The checklist can be used in
place of the notes or in addition and sit below the notes.
When you check off an item in the checklist, it drops to the
bottom of the notes section like a completed task and is
greyed out. Furthermore, you can even add a due date to each
individual checklist item if desired. You can also click the
checklist icon button and convert the checklist back to
regular notes if needed. It's fast, easy, and flexible.
ClickUp has checklists that function in a similar way as well,
but I don't believe you can assign individual due dates.

  The idea would be to go into the task each day before marking it
  complete and enter how many pushups were done today, and ten find
  a way to view all of the completed pushup tasks of the preceding
  month and view the sum of the effort. Unfortunately although each

BOTTOM LINE: The acceptable solution I’d
  use isn’t presently implemented in MLO (see below). For this
  pushup project, I’d use a different app.
 
DESIRED SOLUTION: I create a project with 1
  subtask, with a delay of 1 day, then copy paste it 29 times.
  Presently this wouldn’t work because it would ignore the delay
  unless I set 29 dependencies…which “sure as hell” ain’t
  happening.
 
PRESENT SOLUTION: Since I sense what you’re
  after is a bar chart showing how far along you are in your
  progress, personally I wouldn’t use MLO for this because I do
  indeed want 29 subtasks.  As Leigh said, I’d create a daily
  recurring task with an end date of “end after 30 times”. 
  Admittedly, though, this lacks two things: it doesn’t show
  progress, and more importantly, doesn’t tell me when I’m done;
  rather, it just ends.

Re: [MLO] What reason for only ONE text tag?

2022-10-23 Thread Dwight Arthur


  
  
Folders could not substitute for tags because a task can only be
  in one folder, tags tend to come in flocks.
Flags could substitute but there is a downside. Tags can be very
  ad hoc, arising in response to a transitory issue that soon fades.
  Whenever a new tag is needed, one would need to go into the Manage
  Flags window and create it. Some time later, one would need to go
  into the Manage Flags box again to clean out unused flags. That
  last housekeeping is unlikely to happen often, so it will get
  messy.
What's wrong with the current implementation: you can use comma
  separated tags but MLO does not know you are doing that. MLO has a
  great capability add on the fly to the list of available tags and
  to remove tags when they are unused. But if you change "tag1" to
  "tag1, tag2" MLO does not add tag2 to the list, it adds the entire
  string with two tags, which is not very useful. Also, using search
  exposes you to the ambiguity where one item is a substring of
  another unrelated item, like when you search for "%mail" and you
  get "%mailbox" mixed in.
I think that a change to text tag to allow multiple tags with MLO
  recognizing them individually would be popular with people who use
  tags.

But the usage here, I feel, is rather not a

  I
  agree that it is limited. but you can put more

  Then,
  use the search text tag function instead of the
  filter. This way you will be able to find the task
  with multiple text tags.


  To
  differentiate text tags with task names, you can put

Re: [MLO] Re: Feature Request: Recurrence to work for tasks without a Due Date

2022-10-18 Thread Dwight Arthur


  
  
I understand that there are times that you have repeating tasks
  that do not really have a pre-determined date when they are due,
  and that MLO makes you put on a due date, which is annoying. My
  position is that if I set up my tasks well, I can just pick some
  meaningless due date, which is a small, insignificant annoyance
  that does not actually cause me any issues and does not need to be
  addressed. 

I have checklists like the vacation things mentioned below. The
  parent task is a recurring task set to reoccur one day after it is
  completed. In the "task recurrence" window, click "advanced
  options" and in the next window check "Automatically recur when
  all subtasks are complete" The start and due dates are set to
  approx the last time I used this checklist (for the one I'm
  looking at, all the dates are about two years ago.) The parent
  task is set to "complete subtasks in order". The first task under
  the parent is a kickoff task, with a name like "kickoff vacation
  prep" and is marked "hide branch in to-do". The entire checklist
  is considered inactive. The parent is inactive because it has
  uncompleted subtasks, all of the individual tasks are inactive
  because they are running in order and the first one isn't done
  yet. The first one is inactive because it is hidden. So the whole
  thing is out there in my database and I can see it when I look at
  "all tasks" but it will never show up on any to-do list.
When I want to run this list, I go into the All Tasks view, find
  the kickoff task, and mark it completed. This causes the second
  item in the list to become active. If I just have a flat list of
  tasks, they will show up on the to-do list one at a time, each one
  showing up as its predecessor is completed. If I want them to all
  show up in the to-do list at once, just make a folder as the
  second item in the list and put all the other tasks into the
  folder. After I complete the last task, the list regenerates and
  the hidden kickoff task is back in control, putting the whole list
  back to sleep until its needed.

Re: [MLO] Computed Score sort for sub tasks

2022-10-09 Thread Dwight Arthur

Hi, Simon. I assume that the view you are looking at is a
hierarchical view that shows each task under its parents,
grandparents, etc. Is that right? In a hierarchical view you can
only sort the root items because anything more than that would
confuse the hierarchical structure. Choose a different view that
is not hierarchical, like Active Actions, and modify it to use
computed-score.
Note there is a command under Task>Advanced to sort the
subtasks under a given parent, but it doesn't work with
computed-score. Which is a good thing because you would have to
re-sort whenever computed-score changes, which is pretty much
constantly. Also, this is permanent, you can't put it back to the
original order. And if you are not careful you might sort your
whole database, which would totally obliterate your parent/child
structure. If you decide to try this out, be sure to take a good
backup of your file before you start so you can restore it if you
decide you are not happy with the result.

[MLO] Re: "Snooze" feature for Active Tasks in "Active Actions" view

2022-10-02 Thread Dwight

Hi, Mike, I understand that you are looking for a quick and easy solution, 
such as a single click button, to postpone an active task for a small 
period od time. I don't have a solution although I agree with Stéph that 
AHK (I'm not an AHK user) might provide what you want.

That said, your mention of repeating tasks brings to mind a hack that I'd 
like to share in case it helps anyone. I have a problem snoozing repeating 
tasks as it can mess up the recurrence. Suppose I have a task that I do 
every Tuesday, with start and due dates both pointing to Tuesday. This 
week, because of a busy Tuesday, I want to do it Wednesday. If I go into 
the recurrence and change the start to Wednesday, MLO will change the due 
date to Wednesday and will complain that the recurrence (every Tuesaday) 
does not match the due date (Wednesday). By the time the revised task is 
saved it will be set to reoccur every Wednesday. Unless I remember to go 
set it back to Tuesdays (unlikely) I will miss doing this task next Tuesday.

Solution, create a child task under the task in question called "wait for 
Wednesday" and give it a start and due date of Wednesday, set urgency to 
max and set the star. (clearly this is  not a one-button solution but again 
AHK could help.) The parent task will be automatically marked inactive due 
to having an uncompleted subtask. The child task is also inactive due to 
future start date. So there's no sign of this task in my to do list and I 
can busy myself with Tuesday's things-to-do. Note that the snoozed task 
itself has not been changed, it still wants to run on Tuesdays. Come 
Wednesday, the "wait" task will be marked active because the start date is 
no longer future. In my system the star is one way to guarantee that the 
task, if active, will appear on my to-do list, and the max importance 
guarantees that it will be at or near the top. I recognize this task when I 
see it and I delete the task because the "wait for Wednesday" is done. Note 
that if I just marked the wait task as completed it would have come back 
next week and I would be missing my Tuesday task again. Once the child is 
deleted the parent is returned to active status and returns to my to-do 
list, showing (appropriately) as an overdue task.

My example involves waiting for a whole day but you could just as easily 
turn on "time" for start date and wait for today 2PM if you like.

I love your suggestion. One tweak: I might need a different algorithm for "what

I would like to be able to specify a separate computed-score algorithm for each

Gary, I do not know when or if cloud synch will ever be able to replicate views

create all of the views you need right now, export all of them in a single

Re: [MLO] Accidentally deleted a task on Android app, is there a trash?

2022-08-17 Thread Dwight

Thanks for the mention. Unfortunately, the right answer in this case is undo. 
The last 48 hours view helps you fix tasks that you have mangled, but if yóu 
have actually deleted the task then it's not in your task list at all, so it 
won't show up in the last 48 hours view or any other view. 

You can bring of a backup, copy the task from the backup and paste it into your 
task list. But only if you are actually taking backups and if you can recognize 
the desired task when you see it, which sounds unlikely this time.

Re: [MLO] Re: How to? Multiple instances

2022-08-08 Thread Dwight Arthur

Frank, did you try Stéph's suggestion? I think there's a good
chance it will give you what you need.
do you want two different views in the two windows? Open a window
and load one of the views. Hit f3 and you get a second window
displaying that view, but without toolbar, menu bar, or either
sidebar. go back to the first window and load the second view. You
now have two different views into your data, side by side in two
windows.

Re: [MLO] Re: View by Context with Folders?

2022-08-08 Thread Dwight Arthur


  
  
I try not to use a task's position in the hierarchy to denote
  anything that affects the planning and execution of the task,
  because the task hierarchy is very rigid. You cant sort it, it's
  difficult to include part but not all of a hierarchy, and so on.
  However, I can offer the following, it's not exactly what you
  asked for but maybe it's close enough.
Here is the universe of tasks:
    
The view has hierarchy turned off and is grouped by context,
  sorted by top level parent. In the CONTEXT section of the view
  definition I selected all of the client names, with an operation
  of OR, this prevents the three folders of showing up in a special
  section for items that do not have a context. Disadvantage,
  whenever you add a new client you have to go to the view
  definition and select the new context. A better solution might be
  to use the advanced filter with a rule that says (IsFilter is
  false), which is a little more complex but requires less
  maintenance. Last bit of setup,
  Tools>Options>CurrentMLOFile>ToDoListFormat>
  turn on Encode Additional Information
  in the Projects tab
      turn off Encode Project Name
  in the Task Path tab
      turn on Encode Task Path
      set Task Path Depth to 1
      set limit on ancestor's name to 12
      delete the contents of Separator and Start String
      set end string to a colon ":" and a blank " "
      turn on Prefix
Here is what you get.

Fwd: [MLO] Problems on the Sort Order in My Task List

2022-07-24 Thread Dwight Arthur


  
  
You sound to me like you are using MLO on a desktop system,
  probably Windows. Is that right? If not, please ignore the
  remainder of my message, and write back telling me what kind or
  phone or computer you are on.

Your system contains an outline (all of your tasks arranged in a
  hierarchical list) and views. Each view is filtered, grouped, and
  sorted according to its own specifications. I don't know if there
  is really a default view, but maybe you mean "All Tasks" - this is
  a view that shows all of your tasks in the same order as how they
  are stored in the outline. If you are looking at the "All Tasks"
  view and you move a task, you are physically moving it to a
  different part of the outline. If you are looking at a sorted view
  and you move a a task, you are probably not changing the outline,
  but rather changing the sort.
If things changed for you recently, there are a few things that
  could be the cause.
For one thing, maybe you have not really been paying attention to
  views, and have been using "All Tasks" for the last many years,
  and somehow now you have gotten switched to a sorted view.
Troubleshooting instructions:
1. When you look at the MLO screen do you see a sidebar on the
  left? If not, hold down ALT and tap F1 and it will appear. If you
  don't know whether you have the sidebar, hold down ALT and hit F1
  about a dozen times. You will see the sidebar flashing on and off.
  Stop hitting F1 while the sidebar is visible.
2. OK, now we know that you have the sidebar visible. Look at the
  sidebar title. It's at the top left, under the toolbars. On my
  system it's just under a big blue button called "New Task." The
  title either says "Views" or it has the name of a view, like "All
  Tasks". If it says "Views" then click right on the word "Views"
  and it will change to a view name
3. OK, now we have a view name as the sidebar title. The view
  name you see should be the name of the view you are using. Is it
  "All Tasks"? If not, click on the view name to change it to
  "Views" then scan down through the listed views until you find
  "All Tasks" and click on it. Your main view should now be showing
  the All Tasks view and the sidebar title should say All Tasks. 

4. The sidebar should have eight or so sections. They probably do
  not all fit on your screen at once, so use the scrollbar at the
  right edge of the sidebar to scroll up and down. See if you can
  pick out where the sections begin and end. The first line of each
  section is the section header and starts with a three bar "move
  handle" and a triangle (called a twistie) that can point down or
  to the right. find the section header that says "Group &
  Sort". Click on the twistie about a dozen times. You will notice
  that the section is expanding and collapsing. Stop clicking while
  it is expanded and leave it expanded.
5. In the expanded Group & Sort section find a button that
  says "Sort..." and click it. You will get a pop-up "Sorting"
  window. Your display should now look like this:

In the "sorting" pop up in the sample above you will see four
  entries that all say "(none)". Is that what you see on your

Staff are scattered. They all used to live and work in and around
Kharkiv which appears to have been the #2 target (after Kiev) at
the start of the invasion, so most if not all fled the city. One
person from Customer Support is a refugee in the UK. Males cannot
leave the country but generally they have found places where they
can work. However, things that used to be handled in a couple of
hours are now taking a couple of days. If they have not gotten
back to you yet, they should in a couple of days. If no, don't be
afraid to send a followup email saying specifically what you need

1. launder your shirts separately from your undamaged clothes
2. Fold them nicely and donate them toan organization that
  provides clothes to people who need them. Unless they are so bad
  as to be unwearable, in which case use them as rags then throw
  them out
3. Buy new shirts
Good luck!

I have a view that shows all tasks that were modified in the
  last 48 hours, sorted in descending order by time modified.
  It's useful when I want to undo something. It's better than
  "undo" because I can undo the penultimate thing I did without
  having to redo the last thing I did. It's also useful when an
  item I'm working on vanishes. For example, working in a view
  sorted by context I decide to change the context and due date
  for a task. If I change the context first, the task will
  vanish because it no longer p[asses the filter. To finish
  changing the date I have to find the task. Easy, it's at the
  top of the recently-changed view

Re: [MLO] [REQUEST] CONTEXTS > SHOW IN > New setting - Show in props line

2022-07-10 Thread Dwight Arthur

I'm not clear on what the issue is, so let me be a little more
specific about what I am proposing.
You have some contexts that are not used for filtering and that
you would like to see in the task list. Let's suppose that some
examples are @call, @email, @spreadsheet, @camera
You have some other contexts that are used for filtering. Some
tasks have multiples of these contexts.
Lets suppose that these filterable contexts include colour names
like #red #purple #blue
size like *small, *medium, *large
direction like ^North, ^Northeast, ^East
Suppose that you have a large blue Northern spreadsheet. You
would define the context as @Spreadsheet and the text tag as the
text string "*large, #blue, ^North".
Now, if you want to see all the blue items and no items that are
not blue you would add the following filter to your view:
AND (TEXTTAG Contains 'blue')
and you should get the blue items. The fact that there are other
things in the text tag do not seem troubling to me, why do you
consider this to be unusable?
I can think of two issues
1. You have mentioned elsewhere that you are talking about ad-hoc
and not saved views. I am guessing that you mean that you do not
want to use advanced settings. (I often use advanced settings
creating an ad hoc view, I just do not save the filter.) Anyhow,
you can type the word blue into the "text" quickfilter box in the
left sidebar and select "texttag" in the following dropdown to get
the same effect. You may need to uncheck other items in the
dropdown.
2. You cannot group or sort tasks according to a substring from
the texttag, only by the entire texttag string. If you must have
sorting or grouping by an attribute that cannot appear on the
props line then I have no solution for you.

The following is besides the original point of the request.

I don't like how tags are implemented.

They are fine for putting a single tag on a task.

But the way it creates "combined" tag when putting more than
one tag on a task renders it unusable for me.

I can't even imagine what your suggestion would mean in my
system.

You know that's available in the advanced filter, right? I
  believe that to be useful you need a way to specify order of
  operations, for example to distinguish ((this AND this)BUT NOT
  that) from (this AND (this BUT NOT that)) - this is easy in
  advanced filter but adding it to the simple filter would imho make
  it no longer simple

That's a pretty weird place to get an error.

I believe that you said you are already using cloud synch between two

you certain that you copied the email address and password over correctly, 
with no typos? And are you certain that your cloud subscription has not 
expired? When you try synching on your mobile devices?

Something or other on my phone unlocks if it can see my home

  waits to see my fingerprint. I understand that this is not the
  same thing as what MLO location based contexts are supposed to do,

  Well, Context was of course intended to be locations or whatever

  context called "location based" is if the device running MLO has
  it's own GPS and MLO has the API to ask it so it can automatically
  switch.
  
  
  If your device cannot provide GPS location to the MLO app
then we couldn't do anything about that because the phone isn't
going to have an API for asking the car what coordinates you've
gone to.
  
  
  If @town doesn't actually mean a specific GPS location,
that's another problem you would have to just tell MLO to switch
to the context you want to see (I.e could not be location based
but the old fashioned way).

  Although I've used MLO since the pocket PC, I have just
started using location based contexts in earnest.  
  
  
  I have set the locations of my home and work
appropriately and the MLO todo widget updates my todo tasks
dynamically.  Brilliant!
  
  
  One of my most used context is @town.  This refers to
errands I can do while I am neither  @work nor @home.  How
can I configure the widget so that when I am either in my
car, or not in either work at home, to list those tasks
designated as @town?
  
  
  Alternatively, can I assign a task state if my car's
bluetooth or wifi is recognized?
  
  
  Thanks,
  
  
  Devan

[MLO] contexts by keyboard

2022-06-17 Thread Dwight Arthur


  
  
Filling in task details in the Properties (right) sidebar under
  Windows 10, I tab into yje Context box and start typing. I type
  "#co" and notice a little popup box with two entries, "#computer"
  and "#cooking". I want the computer entry, so I type an "m" and
  the "cooking" entry vanishes. Now, my task is to inform MLO that
  the context displayed in the little box is the one that I want and
  should be recorded as the chosen context. I could do it by typing
  "puter", or by picking up the mouse, mousing over to the context
  and clicking it. But either of those options is too much work -
  there must be a way to do what I want with just a few taps.
I've tried all the combinations of Space, Tab and Enter, alone or
  combined with Shift Alt or CTRL - none of them seemed to have any
  effect. Any suggestions?
- Dwight

Re: [MLO] Re: How to repeat a task every year for only a few months

2022-05-24 Thread Dwight Arthur


I am close to Susanna's second option.
I have a huge number of outdoor-oriented tasks, summer daily, some are 
weekly, some are monthly, one is every 11 days. I tag them all with the 
word " hibernate ". When it gets cold, I create a task called "end 
hibernation", set it for next year April 1 start date. Then I turn on 
multiselect, filter to view only tasks with the hibernate tag, select them 
all and set a dependency on the end hibernation task.
Around April 1 if it's a late spring I update the start date for end 
hibernation. Maybe a few times. When the warm weather starts i select the 
end hibernation task, ask for a list of tasks dependent on this task, 
multiselect them all and "skip occurrences up to today" then delete the end 
hibernation task.
Obviously if I had one or two hibernating tasks all of this would be 
unnecessary.

Another way which I don't use would be to put it in with monthly Recurrence 
and when you get to October just remember to complete as many times as need 
to get to May.  I do that sometimes on my daily tasks when it is a full 
week and I know I won't have time for something for a few days.

Looking forward to hearing what others do.

Scripts would be amazing, especially if they could be triggered by a
condition in the data as well as by an action. For example, if this task
goes more than one week overdue, send an email to Joe with a copy to me.

Alternative, build an API and attach an external scripting app like ifttt

I see frequent suggestions which would be very practical if we first had

We need scripting!

It is related to the suggestion MLO needs an API, and the bottom line is
the longer you keep adding extra code to have more and more features, the
more bloat, slow-down, and unnecessary complications I have to deal with
even if I don't need any of those new features.
The more you keep changing in features without rewriting as an API-friendly
and scriptable tool, the more wasteful work has been done for nothing
because if you ever do finally make it all scriptable, those should now be
done differently instead of integrated in the base application, so someone
has to rewrite all of them to be reasonable.

The advantage of scripting is more than one might think because any event
can be a hook to run script in any context and once people can add features
then everyone could have the same feature but not if they don't need that
one. Then another could take the same feature idea and make it work better
for different circumstances with less effort.

The only problem with adding scripting or at least the API interface to
allow scripting is if you don't properly implement to be efficient and
capable but there should be many examples to learn from in opensource
communities.

I support rich text in notes as well, but I will note that this feature 
would probably require a formatting toolbar with buttons for enabling and 
disabling bold, italic, underline, strikeout as well as indent, bullet, 
number, larger font, smaller font.


Further, if the formatting toolbar were available it wouldn't matter if the 
formatting commands were stored as markdown, so long as there was a wysiwyg 
Vie that could be edited without having to see or enter markdown commands.

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

I had submitted one of these feature requests in the past; but will repost it:

*Option to make task defer to parent's notes.
What I mean is that, I like my parent folder to have all my case notes 
(phone logs, observation notes, etc).  The parent folder has many subtasks. 
 Those subtasks are simple todos though -- they never have notes.  So if 
one of those subtasks is currently selected, the notes pane should display 
the notes for its parent folder.  This would be a task-level option; not an 
outline-level option.  I can explain more if it helps.


*Only one folder from this branch can be expanded at a time.
If I have many folders, or subfolders, of the same level (i.e. all siblings 
of the same branch), then only one of them can be expanded at a time.  If I 
expand one, the other one collapses automatically.  This would be an 
outline-level setting.  It would have to be easy to turn this setting on 
and off.


*Rich Text in Notes.
I tried getting used to Markdown, but it just doesn't work for me.  I need 
to be able to edit the notes and see them at the same time.


Thanks for considering.

Stay Strong Ukraine!!!

Re: [MLO] Re: Filter by Day Name (Monday, Tuesday, etc)

2022-04-29 Thread Dwight Arthur

This kind of thing generally requires a modulo or remainder
function (divide the date by seven and take the remainder) which
is unfortunately beyond the capability of the advanced filter.
This is clearly different from what you are asking for but maybe
you might find it useful. You could create a context called
"Monday" and in the "Hours" section of the context definition you
could define that the context is open all day Monday and closed
the rest of the week. Make another filter for Tuesday, etc. Then,
on each day you will see the tasks configured for that day. you
can make views that filter for context = Monday, or other days, or
groups of days. It gets complicated if you have other contexts on
these tasks in addition to the days of the week. In that case you
could still filter for given days or groups of days but you might
not be able to rely on the fact that every task not set for this
day of the week will be hidden all day today. That's because
context tests have an implied "or" - - if a task has contexts
"Monday" and "phone" and if "phone" is always open then the task
will be active every day of the week because "phone" is open.

You've got me there - The filters can do amazing stuff, if you

name coded into each group title - but I take it that's not really
what you're looking for.

The only other thing I can suggest, if you want certain
weekly repeating actions to be shown by the day of the week on
which you want to do them, is to use contexts, flags or text
tags to assign a weekday to each task - however, that won't
automate and keep the day name consistent with any date changes
you make.

Re: [MLO] Re: Suspended project tasks still appear in active actions

2022-03-24 Thread Dwight Arthur

Hi, I'm confused. The filter that Stéph proposed for you
(ProjectStatus <> "Suspended") does not purport to test the
task status but rather to test the status of the project of which
the task is a part. You appear to be reporting that the filter
inappropriately tested the task status. If this is true, either I
am misinterpreting the command or else there is a bug. After
thinking about it further, I realize that I do not even think that
there is any suspended status for a task versus a standalone
project. So I am confident that Stéph's filter will do what you
are requesting.
My suggestion, if you want to discuss it further, would be for
you to give an example of a small project and a filter and say
what it does versus what you want it to do.
-Dwight

Hello ckle...

You can set up different advanced filters for the parents and
children of an item which matches a filter, using the "Config"
button next to the "ShowHierarchy" parameter. Does that help?

If you can give me an example of an outline structure and how
you want to filter it, I'm sure I could use those features to
help you find a filter configuration which suits your needs.

Hi!
I just wanted to give an update. I was able to add a filter to
the Active Actions view which excluded tasks that were

I suspend a project, for example, its tasks will still show up
in the Active Actions list.

And it seems there is no way to query a task's parent's
Project Status, so there's no way to suspend all project
tasks without specifying all tasks as Suspended. That is
unwieldy.

Would it be possible to create a folder, say "Backburner"
or "Archive," whose contents could be easily excluded from
the Active Actions view?

There have been previous conversations where some

people - but I guess the lack of integration between the

ProjectStatus <>

See how you get on with that.

Hi, as is common in MLO there's more than one way. If you want
every task in every project to show you what project it's in, go
to settings>Current MLO data file>To-Do-List
Formatting>Projects and check the box called "encode project
name." Then you can choose, in the event that a task is at the
bottom of a stack of projects-within-projects whether the project

Hello Paula,
I've just tried this with my own MLO outline. The project

(and sub-subtasks, etc, right down the outline hierarchy). The
project itself doesn't show a project name in that column -
unless it's a subtask of another project, in which case it will
show that parent (or grandparent) project's name. This is
consistent with the aim of the column which is to tell you what
project a task belongs under. Maybe it would be clearer if the
"project" column was actually named "parent project"?

If you're looking at your list of project subtasks in a flat
view, the above might not be immediately obvious. I checked it
in a view with "show hierarchy" switched on in the filter
criteria, in which it's easy to check the behaviour.

Does that fit with what you're seeing? Also, can that column,
along with the filters, grouping and sorting in your view be
made to achieve what you need?

All the best,
Stéphane

Re: [MLO] Exporting view from desktop not working

2022-02-06 Thread Dwight Arthur

Hi, Ben. You are probably looking at the list of views in the
left edge sidebar, right? If the sidebar's not open hit alt-f1 a
few times until you see the sidebar.
The left sidebar can show a list of views or it can show all of
the filter settings which make up the definition of the current
view. We want to see the filters. If you are seeing the list of
views, look at the bottom of the sidebar and click where it says
^Filter
Now you are looking at the filter definition. At the bottom it
should say [Discard Changes]

You probably started with a saved view and modified it. You
probably have three choices: (1) click on [discard changes] to
throw away the changes you made and go back to the saved original.
(2) If you want to throw away the original view you started with
and save only the modified version, click the triangle after
"discard changes" and select "Save View". (3) If you want to keep
both the original and modified versions, select "Save view as. .
." and enter a new name for the modified version
After you have selected one of these, the button that used to say
"discard changes" now says "Save view As" and you are ready to
export.

[MLO] Re: FEATURE REQUEST DESKTOP: Add Completed Date option for view column

2022-01-29 Thread Dwight Arthur

Shrink the column so that it's the same size as your longest date
(like, 23 September 2022). The time will get truncated and not
displayed, except if you have a short date (like 1 June 2022) you
will see the beginning of the time, you can just ignore it.
Hint: shrink the column size by positioning the pointer/mouse in
the row where the column headings are, on the header for the
Completed column, at the rightward edge of the column. The pointer
will change to a "change width" icon, like a plus sign with
arrowheads on the left and right. click and drag to the left.

[MLO] Re: What to do about tasks with potential NEGATIVE outcome and procrastination?

2022-01-03 Thread Dwight



You could also make use of the deadline. Think as clearly as you can about 
when you would like to have the unpleasant task finished and behind you. 
Pick a realistic date, not an optimistic or aspirational date. Put it on 
your task as a due date.

When the due date arrives, the task turns red. Train yourself to hate the 
appearance of red tasks in your to-do list because you know that continued 
postponement will make the task more difficult or will erode the benefit of 
completing it. If you are tempted to postpone further, contemplate for a 
moment the reasons why you picked this particular date.

This only works if you only have due dates on a few tasks. Some people 
assign a due date equal to the day on which you plan to do some task. If 
you do that and you ever get even a little behind in completing your tasks, 
you will have loads of red in your task list most of the time, so the 
motivational effect of having a splash of red is lost.

Re: [MLO] Do we have a way to vote users' ideas/enhancements requests?

2022-01-03 Thread Dwight Arthur

At one time, one of the users set up something at Uservoice.com -
for a little while it was great but it quickly got stale.

Each user got a bunch of votes (I think, 10?) to allocate among
all of the proposed enhancements. The ehancements were listed in
order of popularity. As the system aged:

Existing users allocated their votes among existing ideas and
had no votes left to support any new ideas.
The list of proposals was many pages long, with old, favorite
ideas on the first page. New ideas no matter ow good started at
the end of the list and did not get many votes because nobody
noticed them.
When one of the proposals was accepted it was supposed to be
removed from the list and the votes returned to the users to be
allocated to new proposals. This may have happened once or twice
but a lot of small proposals got implemented without anyone
bothering to remember that there was a uservoice item to be
cleared.
The list of the top ten ideas never changed because of the
issues above and people with brilliant new ideas were frustrated
at the way new ideas languished at the bottom of the list, so
they found other ways to pursue their ideas, like discussing
them on this forum, sending requests in to the support email, or
joining the beta test team. Once this happened there was no life
left in uservoice and it withered away.

Re: [MLO] Re: Partners using one MLO Pro license

2021-12-13 Thread Dwight Arthur


  
  
Hi, Rex. You are creating a pretty complex situation. You are
  going to have four devices using two apps each so eight apps, with
  four local MLO databases, four local Google Calendar databases and
  one cloud-based Google Calendar database. Every task that travels
  between the two partners will go through an MLO to Google
  conversion at the sender and a Google to MLO conversion at the
  receiver. Also, if you are not using MLO cloud then the
  synchronization of each partner's phone with each partner's
  computer will happen via wi-fi synch. The si-fi synch will need
  reconfiguration every time your IP address changes. The multiple
  Google/MLO conversions will tend to drop any functionality in MLO
  that's not available of Google. The whole thing is, as I said,
  quite complex, with more moving parts than most people can handle.
You have to watch out for the trap that gets most productivity
  geeks, which is creating a beautiful and elegant system that cost
  more time in maintenance complexity than it saves you in
  productivity.
Also, if you are ok with your tasks getting dumbed-down to what
  Google can handle, then why not just keep your tasks in Google
  Calendar and forget MLO? I assume that you want to use some of the
  many excellent features MLO offers that Google doesnt, like
  intelligent contexts that handle time of day and location. or
  complex dependencies. Or so many others. But if you want that
  stuff to work reliably, the central database at the top of your
  hierarchy of databases should support the features you want. MLO
  cloud does that. Google Calendar Synch does not.
Wanting to avoid subscriptions even if the price is low sounds
  like a very principled stance but its one that will probably cost
  you a whole lot of time. MLO cloud, by contrast once you set it
  up, takes good care of your transactions, delivers them where and
  when you want them, and almost never complains. You should
  consider making an exception to your no-subscriptions rule.

Re: [MLO] Need GTD/MLO feedback on active action lists with tasks that ALWAYS stick around

2021-12-13 Thread Dwight Arthur

I work off of a custom view of today's active tasks. If I am getting it
right, the first task in the list is the next thing I should work on. If I
encounter a task in that list that I am not willing to do at this time, I
consider the question: what would have to change to make it ready for
action? "Tact" as you describe it sounds like the enabling factor is the
passage of time. Maybe it would be rude to nag someone today for something
I asked for only yesterday. So, when would it not be rude? Maybe three
weeks. Ok, so I set a start date in three weeks and the task drops off the
Today view.

Maybe the task can't start until something happens, like receiving delivery
of a tool. I set the context to waiting and put something in the note about
what I am waiting for. Then I consider, if this never happens, how long
will I wait before following up. That goes in the due date. My daily view
excludes anything that has a waiting context. But there is a task that
comes up once every few days called check waiting. When that comes up I
click the tab that's locked to my check waiting view. Anything with a
waiting context is listed, sorted by due date. The first few are usually
red because due date has passed. I deal with each of them right away. If
the thing I'm waiting for has happened, i take off the waiting context and
the task moves back into the mainstream of my task management.
Other ways a task can be out of today's list is by having a closed context
(for example the weekend context is closed weekdays) or by giving the task
a dependency on another task, creating an uncompleted subtask representing
the thing that will make this task actionable. Or if I have ten pieces of
writing to do and I can only get to one at a time, create a folder, set the
complete subtasks in order flag and dump all the writing tasks in. You will
have one writing task on your daily view. If the task that shows up is not
the one you want to work on today, that means that the tasks in the folder
are in the wrong order. Sort them. The one you placed first will be on your
list, when you complete it the next one will pop up

Re: [MLO] Re: Sync Android app to local file

2021-12-12 Thread Dwight Arthur

I think what the OP is requesting is a way to make a backup of
the current MLO profile to a file that's resident on the phone.
This is obviously not helpful if the phone is lost, stolen,
drowned or otherwise inaccessible, but it could be useful if tasks
are deleted or modified and the user wants to go back to a prior
copy. This would be especially important if the user does not have
a desktop or laptop and wants to avoid the cash outlay needed for
cloud synch.
I seem to recall way back in the dim history of the early days of
MLO/Android that there was an interface to some backup utility on
Android. You could go into Settings and designate MLO as a
datastore needing backup. As I recall it took a lot of developer
attention to make it work across diverse brands of phone and
different choices people made in configuring their systems. I
believe that it worked well for a while and then the backup system
vendor, or maybe it was Android, made some change and everything
stopped working. It seems as though too few people were interested
to warrant investing further developer time.

Re: [MLO] Re: MLO Windows sort by context

2021-12-12 Thread Dwight Arthur

So I just clicked on the context column header in my
current display and it immediately sorted the view by context. I
think maybe this works on views where hierarchy is turned off,
also known as flat views or to-do lists. If you are looking at a
hierarchical view, the sort order follows the physical structure

Re: [MLO] Advance Filter: subfilters, how-to?

2021-11-30 Thread Dwight Arthur

Here's the brief answer, I hope this helps. If not, write back and ask for
the step-by-step directions

You almost got it. The missing piece is that you need a rule whose only
function is to determine whether the tree of rules below it will be ORed or
ANDed to any other rules. So, create a subrule, leave it essentially empty,
and then put your sub filters at the next level down

gone, eg 'is starred'.

The HELP file contains no details on using the Advance Filter, so I have

The more explanation I read from Dwight, the more questions I come up with.
"exposing your tasks to an internet app also exposes everyone else's tasks 
to the internet"
Why? Assuming that is obviously making a ton of assumptions not being said 
here. I have talked a lot about the risk of someone gaining access, which 
is very different than saing, "bam now it is exposed to the Internet"... I 
also cannot tell what you mean by "exposed to the internet". Web pages are 
exposed because there's usually no password so anyone can "http GET" it. 
Email messages are exposed because clear text gets stored and forwarded on 
other computers than myself and the person I communicated, and even 
originally used a cleartext protocol (smtp, pop3), but there's no 
reasonable assumption that a direct communication from my computer to a 
server with https is exposed. HTTPS literally means it is encrypted over 
Internet, so only myself and that server application gets the data. So not 
exposed to the Internet, a hacker would have to access one of those 
endpoints. I will add, you don't need to be a hacker to get what is exposed 
to entire Internet, for example if the world discovered that 
http://32.56.746.2 exposed some web cam that is unprotected.


Different code base costs a lot. I don't get what you assume when you said, 
"makes no difference whether you are I are on the same code base, if your 
app has access to the cloud synch database then my tasks are at the same risk"
OP wants different code base so you don't have to send your data to the 
cloud. Doesn't make sense to dispute, unless "code base" means very 
different to you than it does to us (developers). If I make an app called 
"giveoutmydata" and has nothing to do with MLO, that is a different code 
base than your app called "MyLifeOrganized". Obviously no matter how 
insecure my app, cannot possibly make your app send your tasks to the 
cloud. Could it be that you think syncing to Cloud would be forced if 
MyLifeOrganized for Desktop that we both use is to support a web app? But 
why because there is already an option to sync to Cloud or not (which I 
leave off and of course don't pay extra so I simply could not use a web app)


Please do clarify at least these two vague statements you make:
Why assume the cloud is already compromised by hackers when there would 
obviously be credentials required to get to my task list, do you know 
something about the implementation you're not saying?
Why assume you have no option to not Cloud sync just because another user 
has the option? Is there not already the option

I think in the parser, "next" should not assume whether it should mean next
week or two from now, but there should be a quick way to say how many
Fridays from now.

Still the most important thing is that I know what the language means to
the recipient, so I'll accept whatever if well documented.
I used to prefer that people not say "it will be next Friday" but "it will
be Friday next" because I would be sure they meant "next week" but that
feels wierd these days so I just try to say "this week" or "next week" if I

Ah, good point. No, I am not totally comfortable with my PoV. I found

The best way to match with common usage would be for 'This' to refer to
days in the current week, and 'Next' to refer to days in the next week.
This would require MLO to also take note of which day a user starts their
week on (Sunday or Monday), or better yet, to separately ask the user when
they want their 'parsing week' to start (eg my work week start on Monday,
but my cultural week starts on Sunday - and this is likely to vary per
religion/culture/language).

Alas, I suspect there where still be exceptions where someone would
complain. Thus, maybe it still is best to use 'next' for the next day in
the sequence, and to document that in the Help text. Then it works one
(most logical) way for everyone.

In closing, I finally looked in the HELP file for how MLO implements this,
and they have chosen their own logical approach, which is consistent, if
also not fully adapted to actual usage:

Friday(nearest Friday in future)

next Friday(next Friday after nearest Friday in future)

There is always a debate around the use of 'this' vs 'next' when
referring dates, so there is no one answer.

My PoV is that MLO should use the strict interpretation, and next should
refer to the 'next in the order of things', eg 'next monday' means the
one that occurs next, after today. All other interpretations are based on
a regional, or cultural 'common use' interpretation of the English

Hi, Ryan. Let's see if I can send a complete message this time.
I understand the situation you describe and I've been there more
than a few times. Fortunately, MLO includes a "skip occurrence"
command to cover exactly this situation.

Windows

Right-click on a repeating task to bring up a context menu
select "skip occurrence" from menu
on the popup that appears, select an option that says
something like "skip everything up to today"

Android

From the menu at the bottom of the screen, select
"multiselect" which looks like a stack of coins.

The grab bar icon at the end of task turns into a circle
select one or more tasks by clicking the circle icon at the
end of the task
click the "skip occurence" icon which is a circulr arrow which
starts as a dashed line and becomes a solid line

Just type into the tag field "hobby; art"

Then you can filter on

Be sure to keep your tags unique. If you have tags smart, department,

as they all contain "art"

Re: [MLO] Is there ever going to be a web app for MLO?

2021-10-20 Thread Dwight Arthur

Hi, Joel.
Where will this app obtain access to my tasks? The most logical.
and easiest to program, would be to simply take the data from the
cloud sync file.But that would be a problem for me. I already
consider the security of the cloud sync file to be an area for
concern. If any miscreant who has an app and can guess or steal my
password can retrieve all my tasks I would consider MLO cloud sync
to be profoundly insecure. That would be a shame because I really
like MLO cloud sync.

Re: [MLO] Next actions, contexts and open/closed

2021-10-18 Thread Dwight Arthur


  
  
Hi, JJ. MLO is not ignoring your closed Business Hours
  context. It it filtering out and excluding any task whose open
  hours do not include NOW, where "open hours" are calculated as the
  open hours of all contest combined using OR. The config
  tag that would work for you would be to use AND instead.
The best workaround I've seen is to use contexts only if they
  involvce open hours and use tags for all other contexts

  Hello all, I've been using MLO for about a decade and I often get
  frustrated by the next action list.  For a brief period in the
  early days the next action list was incredibly accurate and my
  productivity skyrocketed.  I stopped using MLO for a couple of
  months and I've since been unable to recapture that bliss.
  
  
  My preference is to work from three views - what I should be
doing right now, what's up for tomorrow, and all tasks/folder
view for managing just under 2000 activities. 

  
  
  At the heart of the problem may be a fundamental
misunderstanding on my part of the appropriate use of
contexts.  I use them for grouping/categorization,
scheduling, and on occasion location.  The precedence of
open/closed is causing me heartburn in that Open seems to
take precedence over Closed.  For example:
  
  
  
  "Make a dentist appointment" has both the Health context
and the Business Hours context.  Health hours match all my
waking hours, Business Hours are 9-5 on weekdays.  MLO's
next action view shows the task based on the Health context
and ignores the closed Business Hours context.

  
  
  
  A config option for "closed context overrides open context in
next action view" would address all my issues, but this doesn't
seem to exist.  I've seen other options using multiple context
queries but this would be difficult as I have about 50 contexts.
  
  
  Am I doing something wrong here?  Should I just use the
single Business Hours context to work around this or are there
other methods that allow me to preserve my attribution?
  
  
  Thanks all for any assistance.

Re: [MLO] Synchronization problems across multiple devices

2021-06-28 Thread Dwight Arthur

Sigi, fyi automatic synch works great for me on both Windows and Android.
Only exception: if my phone battery is low then Battery Saver kicks in and
autosynch stops. When I get home, I plug the phone in, and without any
further intervention from me, Battery Saver drops and autosynch runs. By
the time I get to MLO on windows, it is up to date.

On the other hand, you have experienced crashes and continued. The first
crash probably damaged your database, causing the subsequent crashes which
make it worse. This is not okay. Crashes are not normal. People are not
supposed to "learn to live with" crashes. People are not supposed to ignore
the damage that crashes are doing to their database.

On the device that's crashing, go to settings>troubleshooting and enable
logging.

After the next crash, go back to settings>troubleshooting and send logs and
profiles to supp...@mylifeorganized.net

Include a message telling what was going on and copy in any error message.

Hope this helps

I bought it back then to get a Taskmanager which is able to sync itself
across multiple Platforms (PC, Smartphones etc.). Many other Taksmanagers
fulfill that requirement.

But how is it with MLO? Most of the time I'm working with my PC. There I
have to start the synchronization manually. Then I need to wait a while
because otherwise I get Sync-conflicts. On my smartphone I need to press
the Clown-Symbol because otherwise it doesn't synchronize automatically.

In 4 of 5 cases the Synchronization fails (I have around 8000+ Tasks) and
the App crashes without finishing the Sync. That's very tedious in the
long-run.

Am I doing something wrong or is the automatic background synchronization
just not working how it should?

Thanks, Michael. You are correct, the 'isProject' filter only filters items 
that ARE projects, and has no effect on items that are IN a project.


Try filtering on projectName Is Not Empty. That will filter every project 
in your database together with the entire branch underneath every one of 
those projects.

Re: [MLO] Parsing Switches only allow 5 out of 7 levels for for Importance, Urgency and Effort

2021-06-01 Thread Dwight Arthur

I support this request. I have several task lists sorted by
importance, and often I will create a new task and want to see it
land at a certain point in the sequence of tasks. This might
involve giving a specific value to task importance, like 85 or
132, which is very easily dome on Windows but is quite challenging
on mobile. If I could parse with a switch that said -iv132 or
-iv85 it would make it way easier.

Is there another option to set Importance and Urgency

The best way they could have used their initial

  popular could have been to integrate an API and then
  continue building their ideas on top of that. By API I
  mean giving my own applications ability to navigate

  most every idea I've heard could have been solved
  probably not by them but by people who want the

names (clickable) would be great.    A field to
filter-as-you-type the tab names list would be excellent.

Subject: [MLO] Re: Show list of all open
workspace
   

  
  
I don't know of a way to get a list of workspaces, so I
  think this might be a good feature request. Even better if
  the list was filterable by typing part of the workspace
  name.
  
  
  One key combination which might work better for you
than using the mouse: As with browsers and tabbed apps
like MS Excel, you can use Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown to
scroll quickly through your list of workspace tabs. The
only problem is that it doesn't make the names of the
workspaces visible anywhere.

  hi All,
  
  
  I found pretty helpful to have several
workspaces opened where on each of them I have a
parent task zoom in.
  
  
  I'm getting more workspaces opened that the
number of workspace than can be visible, so I
end up scrolling horizontally with the arrows in
the workspace tab, is there a way to get a list
of the opened workspaces tabs similar to a web
browser (like Chrome)?
  
  
  I think it would be really helpful.
  
  
  Patricio.

[MLO] Re: What Do Y'all Use for Notes

2021-04-28 Thread Dwight

Hi, I have all the organization I need in MLO, I just need somewhere to 
keep some notes, with stuff like embedded pics or pdfs, and tagging. It has 
to run on Windows and Android. I don't want it to map my mind, organize my 
life, manage my calendar, tasks, or emails. Just keep some notes, and let 
me tag them. I have used Evernote with a lot of satisfaction but I am 
starting to dislike it, because it is continually taking some simple thing 
that works well, enhancing it into something way beyond my needs, and then 
making it part of some extra-cost plan. I suspect that OneNote would try to 
pressure me to adopt OneDrive, Outlook, MSOffice, etc, all of which I don't 
want.  Also, I do not want to pay a monthly subscription, it's just a 
note-taker, I will pay a fair purchase price and then leave me alone. 
Amplenote looks nice but it wants a monthly contribution. Obsidian is all 
text, it looks like stuffing a bunch or photos, screenshots, drawings and 
pdf's into it would be too difficult. Maybe I should use Google Keeps, but 
my opinion is that any Google product that does not come to dominate its 
category gets abandoned.  [throws hands in the air] It took me about a year 
after learning about GTD to get my productivity back, I spent that year 
trying all sorts of stuff that worked for somebody else, finding the parts 
that work for me and getting rid of the rest. It would probably take two 
years to absorb ketteltasken, I am slower now.
suggestions welcome
-Dwight

Re: [MLO] Re: Which version for Linux?

2021-04-13 Thread Dwight Arthur

Android and Windows versions are definitely a different code
base. I'm not certain, but I would not be surprised if this was an
intentional choice for marketing reasons.
For some features, the functionality is essentially the same
across both code bases.
There are some differences based on the platforms, including
collation sequences (words starting with diverse special
characters may sort differently, also more layers of sort on
Windows.

Where there is a significant difference in functionality, the
Windows version is almost always higher functionality. The only
area I can think of with higher function on the mobile side, is
the rules editor for advanced filter rules, which is more recently
designed and much easier to use in the mobile version.

Thanks. WINE6? Hiigh-DPI won't be needed for some time. My laptop
(running Mint) is FHD only. I thought the attraction of the
Android version might be running natively on phone / tablet /
Chromebook, but in principle my preference to loosen ties with
Google ecosystem. That said, if MLO was written in Go or Flutter
it'd be equally available on all platforms.

The High-DPI version works fine vai Wine on Ubuntu (X11),

Haven't tried the ANBOX version, but I suspect the
feature set is significantly reduced, given it's a mobile
version (even if there are more features in tablet mode).

Any comments / experience with v5.x?
