#F199 When deleting a task, there is no need to mention deleting subtasks if there are none [desc] - Verified Fixed

How hard : 1 - Medium
How useful : 1 - useful
Priority : 0 - critical
Description

Solution

[Andrey]
We need two confirmations:
1) Are you sure you want to delete task "<TaskName>"
2) All its subtasks will be deleted. Continue? [show this only if any]
[Oleg]
The task name may be long enough to not fit the PPC screen. I propose the following prompts:
1) Are you sure want to delete the task and all its subtasks?
2) Are you sure want to delete the task?

[Andrey]
Can we cut the task name if it is longer then N symbols and add "...". Since we do not have UNDO it is important to:
1) see the task name you delete
2) second confirmation for tasks with subtasks.

[Oleg]
Done. The length of the task name to be displayed is limited to 50. If the caption is longer, it is truncated and padded with "...".

[Andrey]
We need two confirmations for a task with subtasks. In the first confirmation do not mention subtasks at all.

[Oleg]
Done.

[Andrey]
Still no *two* confirmations for deleting a branch. Think of this confirmations as of two confirmations when you delete *two selected* files in Far

Fixed in 1.0.4 beta.

How hard : 1 - Medium
How useful : 1 - useful
Priority : 3 - normal
Description

The Due Date (Due Mark) takes a lot of room when turned on in the
outline screen. I think it needs to be fixed to the end of the Task
line, so when you scroll left or right, you can read the text of the
Task in the outline, and then scroll over to see the date. The current
way makes reading the text harder for long items. The same comment
would apply for the Todo screen also.

Description

Option to add quick task with a reminder to fill In task DETAILS later.
VERY often you only have the time to note down the name and possibly
the date of an appointment and not bother with setting priorities etc
until later. It would be extremely useful if we could do this, and yet
have a filter option to show us tasks for which we have not filled out
all details or for ones that we have earmarked to follow up later.
This might also be available by a today plugin. The mechanism doesn't
matter, so long as I can get a task into MLO ASAP, but easily come back
to it later

suggest making better use of the "action" button (ie in centre of D

Description

I'm using both MLO-Desktop and MLO-ppc RC-3 versions.

When I open MLO-Desktop it opens with Places set as "Home" but when I
open MLO-ppc it always opens with Places set as "All Places". If I
change it to "Home" when I synchronize it with the desktop it changes
back to "All Places."

Is there a setting I've missed that would solve this so it opens with
Places set as "Home"?

RC-3 is the first ppc version I've used so I don't know if this is
working differently to previous versions.

I would like an option (or maybe a toggle) to show the number of days
due for tasks rather than the date for example show "65 days" rather
than "05/09/05" or "-2 days" for overdue tasks. If greater than a
year, perhaps something like "2 years 65 days".
I feel this would allow easier and more inuitive tracking of timelines
for projects. It may fill some of the void of not having a gantt
chart, and allow a simple visual glance of timelines in both outline

Description

At the moment the action
button takes you to the task properties page. However, this is not a
big convenience as the user then needs to use the stylus to enter or
change any details. I feel buttons are best reserved for aiding in
'exclusive' one hand operation. eg navigating through your
prestablished todo list. An alternative use of the action button would
be to toggle to a 'full screen' todo view (perhaps with the windows
taskbar still in view).

There's an older feature request in the archives for support of a

#F449 sync MLO to build-in To-Do DB of PPC [desc] - New

How hard : 1 - Medium
How useful : 1 - useful
Priority : 3 - normal
Description

IMHO that's a mistake. If MLO-PPC does not have the option to sync
with the built-in todo's, the MLO-PPC will never be able to be a stand
alone product. Alot of the PPC applications are made to create task
from them, for a truley mobile person, I can see that he would want to
then be able to pull those tasks into MLO just like he can at his
desktop.

Without this capability MLO-PPC will just remain a add-on to MLO
Desktop as you will have to have the desktop to sync with tasks. With
this capablity, it could be marketed and sold as a stand alone product.

The MLO-PPC <=> MLO desktop sync is a matter of priority for us. As
soon as it is implemented, we will be able to move forward with other
developments and consider implementing sync with PPC built-in todo list

We will add your feature request to the future developments list and
