+1 for BosseD's request Neal thanks for sharing the approach This is cool - that MLO is powerful.
But these tricks are not documented - and have to be learned by lots of hit and trial. The manual or may be a new document guide should be made to document such tricks. Further a common man things in simple terms - not the tricky setting of many options. That feature request of BosseD is probably inspired from TimeTo software (or Above & Beyond software)... and I believe that it is also a simple way of cycling through tasks to do.
