[MLO] Option to Ignore Parent Folders when Calculating To-List Order

2011-05-13 Thread Brad
I believe there should be an option to ignore parent folders when calculating the sort order. For example, I have a folder A that contains a task B. Currently, task B's priority is calculated relative to folder A, so even if B is severely overdue, it's position in the to- do list will not rise,

We will add such setting in new versions. Please note, that if you are using release version (not a beta) the log file contains only first few chars from your task title. The rest is truncated. Let me know if you see more information there than you think needed for the log. Andrey,. On May 10,

MLO on the desktop allows you to change the sorting algorithm from computed score to all kinds of other options. If you go into the ToDo view filters section you will see a Sort button. Clicking that will pull up the choices. Can you find a better combination that will work for you? -- You
