Hi Jeffrey,
Interesting scenario. Indeed, I understand the need though, to be
perfectly honest, I still dislike the pop-up as I think it'll end up
annoying users and they (I for sure...) will end up not paying attention
to it.
So what about this: display in the section header (the gray row holding
the open triangle and "Done" text) an icon that says that they are
unread items in this section. Or, may be better, the number of unread
items (we currently display the total number of items).
Thoughts?
Cheers,
- Philippe

Hi Philippe,
- "Note: If there are Unread items that are about to be purged, we
should throw up a dialog: Are you sure you want to purge? There are
newunread items that will be purged."
I don't see a strong rationale for such a pop up dialog. What's wrong
with triaging unread items? Besides, the verb "purge" seems to indicate
that something will be "removed" or "got rid of" which is not the case
(items will simply be resorted). I suggest not to provide this dialog.
I think I originally proposed this, here's the scenario I'm worried about:
- I have a task in a shared collection which isn't sharing triage
status. I mark the task as DONE, because I think I'm done with it.
- Someone comes along and adds comments in the task that change its
meaning, so it's no longer DONE
- I'm looking at and changing triage status for items in the LATER
section, and the NOW section is scrolled off the screen, when auto-sync
happens. Because the task is updated by sharing, it moves to my NOW
section and becomes unread. As soon as I hit triage, it'll go back to DONE.
- When I hit triage, I don't want to lose the fact that the task has
been updated by sending it back to the DONE section, because I haven't
looked at it yet.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
