Are there any plans to remove the inability to do almost anything in Todo when the startup sync is occurring? The software is awesome, I can't really say I have many other complaints or even small suggestions that haven't already been suggested (maybe a couple of ideas for expanding the multi-edit functionality which is already very good in it's current, and brand new, incarnation). However, while I change tasks often on both the phone and computer, and need the sync to happen consistently, I am continually frustrated by the fact that the application "locks" while the initial sync is performed.
There must be a way to work around this limitation...for one, I can't even view a tasks in detail view while syncing, which doesn't change data at all. But I should be able to 1) add a new task, and 2) check off an existing task, while syncing. Adding a new task does not affect the underlying data at all, it can simply be added to the server at the next sync. And it should be somewhat simple to store the checked flag for tasks that are checked off while syncing, complete the sync from the original state, and then apply the checked/unchecked state to the internal database when the sync is complete, again to be updated on the server at the next sync. Ideally this would be expanded to all the fields, so tasks could be fully edited while the sync was taking place in the background, but I understand that managing the task state is likely much easier in the code if it's known that no changes will take place while a sync is happening. However, the two changes I mentioned above would go a long way toward improving usability (as would the ability to cancel the sync somehow, though I'd rather stuff just be usable). On the rare occasion my phone switches to Edge it's even more painful, since sync can take an extremely long time and prevent me from quickly marking or adding a task (since I use my phone for quick changes on the run). Thanks again for the great app, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively and not critically!
