Hi, I just tried this out, and was immediately surprised that from the
Dashboard/All view the sub menu items for View > Calendar were greyed
out. I was expecting to have ability to choose a sub menu item to change
the view to Dashboard/Calendar. Many programs have both icon and menu
paths to various views and functions. I believe the current
implementation is confusing and will be a barrier to discovery.
I suggest adding and making active a Triage Table View menu choice to
the sub menu under View > Calendar for use in the Dashboard collection.
That is, the Triage Table View sub menu choice would be active only when
pressing View > Calendar from the Dashboard/All view. I believe this
would help to clarify for new users the behavior difference, when
pressing the Calendar toolbar button, between being in the Dashboard
collection and a user collection. Certainly, I'm influenced by having
used to date the current Tools > Select View menu items, but I believe
they clarify rather than obscure Chandler's features. I am not
suggesting at this time that a Calendar/Triage Table View be made
available for personal collections due to the open issue of master
occurrences being displayed also and the confusion that can cause. (Even
though I believe this should be a 1.x feature. I have a user story to
support this.)
I didn't reopen this bug, but will do so if there is agreement.
