Yes, me too, I think this would be a nice option to have a movable separator in the ordered list. Just now I tried to use tasks like "page 1------------------------" to separate the list, but the problem is that to keep it in place, you need to turn off the Auto update, and this doesn't work good, as sometimes the list updates itself during syncing or you just need to update it -- and then all the separator tasks are moved. Finally I ended up with copying all my tasks as text and printed it with approximately 30 lines per page. When I crossed out the item in the printed list, I also mark it as complete in MLO -- an awkward way of syncing.
In the next version, when editing of properties of multiple tasks will be possible, I think it can be easier to select 25 -35 tasks and add context "!page#" to them. olejorik On Jan 5, 4:28 pm, "Steve Wynn" <[email protected]> wrote: > Mark Forster has just unveiled his Autofocus system - and to be perfectly > honest it lends itself to MLO quite well because it is just a long list.
