[MLO] Re: Zoom-in in project view

Hello Renger, You have to bear in mind the order in which these functions work. Zoom works *before *the filter, so once you've zoomed into a project, the project filter won't see that project name any more and all you'll be able to see are any sub-projects you might have created. Stéphane On

[MLO] Re: How to configure auto created work spaces in MLO 5 to sync to first work space

Sorry, but I don't think that's possible. If I remember right, the workspace inherits its view criteria from the locked view you jumped out of. On Tuesday, 5 June 2018 06:32:41 UTC+1, Richard D. wrote: > > Hello. I normally keep the set of work spaces I use on a regular basis > locked so I don't

Re: [MLO] Outlook link not working within a task

I remember asking about this, after migrating to Outlook 2013 at work. I can't find the discussion thread about it, but I remember that Andrey posted that I would have to edit a registry setting for Outlook 2013, to make links work. On Friday, 8 June 2018 08:39:43 UTC+1, Edward Taylor-Robinson

That's pretty-much exactly what I do - leave a tab unlocked to change views, zoom and filters as much as I want. On Monday, 11 June 2018 16:17:54 UTC+1, Darryl Brooks wrote: > > After reading a lot of posts here. I have a tab at the left with all tasks > and it is locked and pinned. Unlike some

[MLO] Re: MLO Cloud or Wifi-SYNC? Privacy concerns

I use WiFi sync, mostly for similar reasons to you. One thing which helps is that I only sync my file when I'm at home, where I have set up static IP addresses for my devices. This means my desktop gets recognised next time I sync. It would be good to have the Wi-Fi sync remember your device n

Re: [MLO] A Quick Procedural Question about Workspaces

Hello Darryl, To change a View within a Workspace, you'll see "View:>>" just above the outline/flat view contents of your MLO file. If you right-click on that, you'll get a list of views and can select a different view from there. Stéphane On Monday, 18 June 2018 19:56:06 UTC+1, Darryl Bro

[MLO] Re: Automatically set start date to date created?

Hello Charles, That's not currently possible, as new items always default to their parent's dates and context. However, it's been requested by a few of us. I took it a step further and have proposed that it should be possible to select whether start and due dates and contexts get set to blank,

[MLO] Re: [OUTLOOK] How to sync with more than one task list

That's advanced! I have to say, I stopped using Outlook sync when the latest version of Outlook stopped supporting links (although links can be made to work again with a Registry tweak, which I can't do on my work laptop). On Wednesday, 4 July 2018 14:13:11 UTC+1, Philippe DERIEPPE wrote: > > H

[MLO] Re: Mark task as failed somehow

Like Wallace and Kamajo, I use a context to tag a task as -Superseded (in my case, the hyphen character puts this at the bottom of my list of contexts, after all the ones with an @ tag or a ? tag). I then check it off close it. I know that's still three clicks, or two clicks and tapping the spa

[MLO] Re: Mark task as failed somehow

Hello Rene, It's actually one of a few autoformatting rules I've inserted before the default rules, to set the icon next to the tick-box to what I want:
