Okay, what I like about MLO 1. I like that it is small and fast and stable. 2. I like that it has a file based model and is not a front end for a website. The new cloud is a good compromise between a system that sits out on a website, in accessible when I am at work and with my data out on the internet, and something so file bound that I cannot easily keep multiple devices on the same todo list. 3. The fact that I can hid many features - I think you have everything I could want (except my suggestions below of course) and numerous features that I find clutter things up - that i can turn these off, means that is not a problem. 4 - The new blackberry version. Now the product suite is complete for me. the outlook sync is not as good as the full client on the BB. 5 . Hide this tree from the todo list. Very good feature - required to use MLO for checklists and other things that are not, strictly speaking, to dos. 6. Rapid task entry. Wonderful feature.
New features I would like to see. 1 A type of task that has a recurrence pattern, but that does not regenerate, instead it just moves to the next instance. The purpose is for routine checklists. If i have a checklist to say, check my inbox and voicemail every morning, I don;t want to have to click done 7 times when I come back from vacation, I just want it sitting there again, to be done monday morning when I get back. 2. "Notes" items. so that not all list items have to be checklists. As such, you could use the tool as a kind of hierarchical database. For us disorganized types, to have a list "things to know", containing say the right furnace filter size, or the prescription number for our drugs is handly - but you dont want it marked complete by accident and deleted. Another tool I used for a while had an inheritance scheme, so you could say that any item under this branch should be a note, and appear without a checkbox. Very handy for quickly gathering data. 3. Scheduled synchronization with the cloud. An option that synced it on open, or every 15 minutes when idle, or after every change, or something like that. Something so I could know when I left work, that whether I remembered or not, at home, it would be in sync when I got there. 4. In the Blackberry version, you need to have a preference to have the application minimize on exit instead of close. Or, alternatively, have a hotkey that minimizes it. The lack of this feature is quite annoying. I use my blackberry with the calendar on the right hand button and as task tool, now MLO, on the left, and I spend the day popping around between mail, calendar and tasks. having the application close, and having to open the data file everytime I hit the left button is really slowing me down. That's all i have. I have been using the desktop client for a long time now - I started on version 2.x about 3 years ago or more - It is an excellent application, if a little feature cluttered. Adding the BB version and the cloudsync has made it even better. Add these features I want and it will be perfect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
