Andrey and all, Today if I look at my MLO To-Do list for different days, I get an idea of the NUMBER of tasks I have each day, but not really a good idea (visually) of HOW MUCH WORK I have planned for each day, since some tasks require 3-4hrs, while others require 10mins... I think the visual intuitiveness and "visual value" of MLO would be greatly increased if you add an option to make the height (vertical thickness) of tasks proportional to the Time needed to do the task. Similar to how in Outlook calendar you can instantly identify big tasks vs small tasks. Then with a quick glance at MLO I would be able to see where my "big" tasks are, how many "small" tasks I have in the different days, how much aprox TOTAL TIME do I have on any given day or project, etc. I really think this could make a mayor contribution to MLO's visual cues.
Note: a potential challenge for few people might be if you have to deal with both tiny (5mins) and huge (e.g. 20hrs) tasks, since then making MLO tasks "linearly proportional" in height would make the 20hrs task higher than the entire screen... But then it would be possible to have an option to use some sort of "logaritmic scale"... or to allow the user to set a maximum displayed height?? Andrey is a smart guy, I'm sure he can figure it out. I believe the TimeTo sowftware and some others are already displaying tasks like that... Note2: there could be a botton to toggle between "equal height" items (tasks or projects) display and "time-proportional height" display. Note3: this would become an amazing feature if projects would automatically add the Time required for each task in the project (whether Min, Max or average Time) so when looking at Projects themselves (filtering out tasks) we could instantly+visually get an idea of how much time we have planned in each project. I hope this is interesting to all (pls reply if so) and really look forward to seeing this feature soon! Thx Andrey and team for the great work on MLO!
