Custom ticklers can be just dates and don't require a time. However, I
agree that the fact that the time is optional is not clear. Could you
log a UI design bug to that effect?
By ticklers, do you mean alarms? How do date-only alarms work?
Actually, it doesn't look like it's optional. When I clear the alarm
time, it's never changed in the summary view and the details are reset
to its earlier value when I go back to the item in question.
The Who column is useful for our target user the Hub, who is not only
tracking their own tasks, but also tracking other people's tasks.
In the case of email, the Who column is important when tracking email
drafts that you're writing, emails you need to reply to, and emails
from others that are task requests.
Ah, I haven't thought of this. I don't really need this myself, but it's
a pretty cool way to manage one's email.
However, I agree that user-configurable columns IS an important
feature, it just fell off the list for Preview.
The Who column doesn't have to be user-configurable -- Jeffrey's idea to
hide it if its value is "me" for all items in the view would be an ideal
solution, I think. It would allow for transparent transition from using
Chandler as a single-user PIM to a collaborative one.
