RE: [MLO] Counting the number of tasks in a branch, and deciding what to archive

[Wallace Gilbraith]

Thanks Laurence, that is helpful, for now it's given an insight into how the 
volume is spread over my top-level folders
(I guess I got spoilt with TreeSize from www.jam-software.com, when checking 
sizes of Windows drives and folders) 
I've also discovered that I can postpone the MLO reminder about numbers of 
tasks, so now I don't feel like I'm in danger any more

Regards

Wol

Subject: [MLO] Counting the number of tasks in a branch, and deciding what to 
archive

I archive every few days after receiving this warning when I was at around 8000 
tasks. I preserve outline branches by making the root of the branch a project. 
If the appropriate parameter is set, it will not archive "open projects". I'm 
not exactly sure what Open Project means, maybe someone can clarify. In the 
Windows version of MLO, you can zoom in on a branch, do Select All in Outline 
View, and a count is shown of the number of tasks.

I am still adding more tasks than I am archiving...

Hope this helps

Laurence

[MLO] Counting the number of tasks in a branch, and deciding what to archive

[Wallace Gilbraith]

After about 3 happy years of MLO Use, my MLO Android is starting to give me 
warnings about Too Many Tasks (around 20,000, most of them completed), so I’m 
starting to think about archiving.

But rather than archiving purely by date across my entire profile, which might 
archive completed projects I’d like to come back to, I’d like to have an idea 
of which folders and projects are being subject to archiving.

To this end, it would be neat if there’s some way of mimicking Windows > File > 
Properties, and counting up the size of any given item, eg a given folder 
contains how many subfolders and tasks.

For any given item, Properties > Statistics just counts what’s in the level 
below, not the entire tree below

Anyone got any clever ideas? 

Regards – Wol
