Hi Mimi,
My apologies, too many words. Yes, in the direction of your
clarification about the bug below, I was trying to suggest that when the
Dashboard collection is selected, that the active (not greyed) menu
choices should be:
View>>
- All
- Starred
- Calendar>>Triage Table
...that is, to parallel the toolbar...with the idea that selecting the
path View>>Calendar>>Triage Table would have the same effect as pressing
the Calendar toolbar button, as now implemented, and ideally also
actually "pressing" the Calendar toolbar button for the user.

Hi Andre,
I'm not sure I'm following your description.
I think there was a misunderstanding about that bug, which I've
re-opened. The menu structure should be:
View>>
- All
- Starred
- Calendar>>Month / Week / Day

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.
