Thanks. I was aware of this option. It is also possible to show the name of the parent a column This is the approach that I have taken which is very useful but it doesn't do everything that I need - specifically to be able to a) mark the Parent as done from the To Do view b) adjust the properti

+1 Ecco had a very powerful set of capabilities for managing what was shown in the hierarchy. In particular, you could choose an item and 1. Show all items under an item to a specific level (Shift+Ctrl+ 1..9) 2. Expand all items under a specific item (Alt + Double click on item or Ctrl G)

Ah ha! I hadn't noticed the little triangles. I am still trying to get my head round the way in which they work. Quite a clever idea but needs a bit more explanation - would it be possible to pop up some bubble help to explain what is going on (? switchable). On Aug 24, 1:40 am, Mike wrote: >

2009-08-26 Thread RichardCollings
I have to say that I am generally puzzled by the selection behaviour when switching between views. I have only just upgraded to V3 (from V1.9) and this aspect of the behaviour seems very different and idiosyncratic. eg if you select multiple tasks in the To Do view, then nothing is selected in

Actually on reflection, changing the second option so that it is * skip all overdue occurrences would solve my problem without needing to add a third option. ie: if the occurrence falling on today's date (if it does) either doesn't have a time or the time is earlier than now, the next occurre

It just doesn't work for me - the fact that you have broken one activity down into more steps and to a deeper level doesn't automatically make those individual tasks more important if you boost their common parent.If they are more important/urgent, I can go in and make adjustments at that lev

As another baffled person, I would agree that this would be a useful feature. The one time I did try to spend some time working out why I couldn't get MLO to order things the way I wanted, it was made much worse by only being able to see the score for one task at the time. I ended up creating a
