Also, I still have not figured out how to move items from one collection to another in one step. What I currently do is drag and drop the item which creates a copy. If you want the default drag to be a copy how about a key combination to do a move? In the Someday/Later scenario I wanted to move a task from S/L into home as it turned into a definite task.
This feature request already exists in Bugzilla: see bug 5276. You may want to add yourself to the CC list if you want to follow its progress. BTW, a number of other improvements you suggest in your email are also there, I'll include below bug numbers of the ones I'm familiar with (because I'm either the reporter or on the CC list).
Another one. How do most people use collections and the color coding? I can imagine more collections than colors. Do people use colors to categorize collections?
I don't, but that's because I have only three collections, and also because there used to be some issues on Linux with choosing the colour (bug 4828).
Perhaps I would like to change the order of collections.
See bug 5058.
I really want a date picker on the event and alarm details
Yep, that would be really nice. It's both a useful feature and is so common these days, it makes Chandler (and Cosmo) look a bit antiquated not to have it. See bugs 4520 and 10744.
I do not like the recurring event change question every time I change an element of a recurring event when I am setting it up. I know it becomes necessary because there is no save changes button but I end up having to confirm 3 times just to set up an alarm (once for the alarm, once for the number, once for the minutes/hours/days selection).
I agree wholeheartedly. (See bug 8242.)
I might want some finer control of dashboard inclusion/exclusion. How about enabling items to be excluded from the dashboard? This comes back to how many collections are needed. If dashboard inclusion/exclusion is only available at collection level then you might end up creating collections for bad reasons.
See bug 7599. (Great minds think alike, what can I say!)
Enable longer snoozing on alarms.
See bugs 5459 and 10388.
I would like to select text in the notes field of items and stamp them (as tasks, notes, events or messages)
So this text would become something like a new item but would still be contained inside the original one? I've been thinking of something similar, to decompose tasks into sub-steps. (I guess this would make them more of a project, in GTD terms, and so merit its own collection, but I don't think that's practical given the number of projects people have on the go and the amount of space in the sidebar.) I think OmniFocus does this very nicely. Davor _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
