Doing a skim re-read, there was one issue which the computed score author said he would raise with Andrey but which as far as I can see, there was no further post about - namely whether the Weekly Goal boost would continue to apply a substantial boost. [Aside: as one of the people who argued strongly for the manual sort because I could never get either of the sort algorithms to work for me because of the way in which priority appeared to be boosted for lower level tasks, I subsequently found that using CSA without the weekly goal boost (as recommended by somebody in this forum) resolved the problem. CSA without the Weekly Goal boost works pretty well for me. If you do the Weekly Goal on CSA you get a very strong depth related boost such that you can never get leaf tasks which are higher in the hierarchy to sort above other tasks which share the same Weekly Goal parent but which are lower in the hierarch) On Jan 30, 2:59 pm, Richard C <[email protected]> wrote: > There was a long thread about this in the summer - here's an extract: > > Here's the enhancements that were planned: > > 0) Made it faster never hurts to protect our PPC user's batteries. > > 1) Added the ability to turn off the over-due boosting via a > preference. > tasks will not use the more aggressive calculation when over due > if this is disabled.
