Hi Lisa Many thanks, I think the key is the 1 next action per *root Folder*, I misunderstood(or did not notice, whatever) that *ROOT*. So I think I know what to do now. as to set the folder itself as a project, I did tried that, that's weird but it works, thanks again. : ) Regards On Oct 27,

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

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

Perhaps you have "complete subtasks in order" checked on The parent task? On Monday, October 26, 2009, Lisa Stroyan wrote: > > > I was not able to reproduce this behavior by pasting your folder tree > into the Rapid Task Entry dialog, and then changing the Folders on > FolderOne and FolderTwo.

I was not able to reproduce this behavior by pasting your folder tree into the Rapid Task Entry dialog, and then changing the Folders on FolderOne and FolderTwo. TaskB showed up in the Active tasks whether or not TaskA was a project. Which"Todo" view are you using? Do you get the same behavi
