[MLO] Any videos of using the GTD interface in MLO?

2013-06-26 Thread Mr. Analogy
I just installed MLO on my new PC and noticed the GTD example. I really like the Getting Things Done approach but don't want to go down a rabbit hole investigating Productivity P0rn . So I'd like to see how well it works before spending a lot of time learning that interface. -- You received

[MLO] How to export settings?

2013-06-26 Thread Mr. Analogy

Also note that the Parent sub-dialog of the Rapid Text Entry dialog can be set to use specific view also (just like the move dialog). On Tuesday, June 25, 2013 11:25:13 AM UTC-7, David Rees wrote: > > MLO's move is also super handy: Select a task you want to reparent, hit > ^M, then type the na

[MLO] Control-A not working in Rapid Task Entry dialog

2013-06-26 Thread David Rees
Control-A (select all text) doesn't seem to be working for me in the Rapid Task Entry dialog. It works fine in the main MLO notes pane though. Is it some vmware funkiness on my side, or is it missing/broken for everyone? Its keep for the RTE to quickly overwrite previous text. Thanks, d -- Y

[MLO] Re: add importance as a top-level filter control

2013-06-26 Thread David Rees
A related idea I had was to support enabling/disabling advanced filter rules. Then each user can choose which ones they want top level: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mylifeorganized/uVZMugAagS0 d On Saturday, May 18, 2013 6:55:10 PM UTC-7, David Rees wrote: > > First of all, thank you

[MLO] easily enable/disable advanced filter rules

2013-06-26 Thread David Rees
I thought I already posted this idea, but I can't find it. I apologize if its somehow a duplicate. It would be great if we could enable/disable filter rules quickly like we can for contexts. The advanced rules dialog does this, but its separate dialog. Instead, how about showing the advanced r

[MLO] applescript for opening Rapid Task Entry using vmware

2013-06-26 Thread David Rees
I thought I would share a very simple applescript for using the Rapid Task Entry dialog for MLO running inside VMware Fusion. It simply opens the dialog and then pastes the current clipboard text. Its simple, but figuring out the right voodoo took a bit of work. delay 0.1 -- give me more time

[MLO] command line AddSubtask should work like Rapid Task Entry

2013-06-26 Thread David Rees
Currently when adding a task using the command line you use something like the following: mlo.exe MyDataFile.ml -task={213DCA87-6D2E-254D772616FA} -AddSubtask="NewSubtask #1" The problem with this is that the -task does two things - it indicates the parent, but it also changes the selection to

Re: [MLO] How do you add a New Task in the Outline tab in v 4.1.0?

2013-06-26 Thread David Rees
I still see the same behavior in 4.1.1RC1. Create a view filters for a specific context. Create a new task, type its text, hit enter - the task disappears because it doesn't have that context. Thanks, d On Tuesday, June 25, 2013 2:35:14 PM UTC-7, Dwight Arthur wrote: > > David, I believe that

[MLO] drag/drop text into outline

2013-06-26 Thread David Rees
Is there a way to drag/drop text into the MLO outline? I can select text in WordPad (or in notes in MLO) and drag it to the MLO outline. MLO even shows a blue line where it will be dropped, but when I release/drop it nothing happens. This would be a super handy feature for quickly move text to/

[MLO] Show filter advanced rules in filter pane (so they can be easily enabled/disabled)

2013-06-26 Thread David Rees
There are several threads already asking for additional fields to be made top-level filters like contexts so they can be easily enabled/disabled. In fact I am currently using flags instead of contexts because they are easier to filter with. I had an idea though, instead of slowly making more
