Hi Lisa and all Here I rip out a slice of my main mlo, and this time I can reproduce the problem. The only difference is that folderOne and folderTwo are also nested in another folder. I've uploaded the file to: http://www.box.net/shared/bx82696fkk try to check/uncheck the "this is a project" op

Hi Ron This sound sweet, I mean, to keep project in the todo list as a reminder to define the next action step. I usually think a bunch of subtasks first, and list them under a certain project but with the progressing of the project, there're always more and more subtasks to add. On Oct 27, 6:0

[MLO] advice about which version to purchase

2009-10-26 Thread Jonathan Soroko
I'm about to purchase either the Standard or Pro version - after a month-plus of using MLO, I'm pretty sure it's going to continue to be a good tool - maybe even a *better *tool as I explore it further. Does anyone have a thought about the virtues of the Pro versus Standard editions? (I should say

Hi Fletcher I'm still trying to figure out the right way(or proper way) of using Projects, anything to share? Do I need to keep every project in a seperated folder? I think the problem with me is that I'm not clear about the showing/ ordering strategy of the todo list, I do have read the help fi

Hi there, I did have checked the hierarchy and there wasn't any parent with the "in order" checked, I'm sure about this because, at first I was, too, thinking of that there might be something to do with this option. thanks! On Oct 26, 3:04 pm, Jonas Bergenudd wrote: > Perhaps you have "complete

Hi Lisa, thanks for your response! I'm using the Active Actions todo view with action filter set to NextAction. I've tried to create a new mlo file and reconstructed the folder hierarchy, but I cant reproduce the behavior either... : ( well maybe there is something wrong else, I'll try to rip it

You can get a project to be 100% complete by completing the project parent task. When I complete the last subtask of a project, most of the time I am not done with that project. It is helpful to me that a project shows up in the To-Do view, as that is a reminder for me to define the next action st

This is a little off-topic, but pertains to your subject. Projects, in my opinion, are "broken" in MLO as they do not really exhibit any of the described behavior. The design idea behind a Project is that it will aggregate the information from the subtasks underneath it (such as time required, e

It ~SHOULD~ be possible, but I've found that MLO on PPC does NOT sync properly with the desktop version-- or there is some difference between them that had me stop using the PPC version, as it would frequently duplicate tasks (just one desktop). On Oct 24, 1:02 pm, gus wrote: > Hi, > > I am new
