Since I *don't* think MLO should be changed to meet my need, I'll send Lisa my example privately.
-Dwight From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lisa Stroyan Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 12:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [MLO] Feature request: when marking a recurring task completed, keep completed sub-tasks with completed copy of task Richard: No - the "recur X days after this task completed" doesn't work when you have a task that you want to do at particular time each day. For example I have a @EveningCatchup task which recurs at 8pm each day under which I put bits and pieces that I want to do in the evening when my energy levels are low. Ah, yes, I *have* been annoyed by that :) Dwight: I would right-click the task and select "skip occurrence" then pick "skip all occurrences up to today" then perform today's task, mark it complete, and the task will reoccur for tomorrow. Or Ctrl-0, enter Richard: At the moment, I do use the 'Skip occurrence' option but given that I still can't see why you would immediately want to see another occurrence of the task if you have just marked it done, I would still favour an approach which, when you mark the first instance done, cycles through the repeat pattern until it gets to date/time in the future Since the way it is now is the way every other task management system I've seen does it, and since changing the default would mess up what people expect it to do, I think the default needs to stay the same if anything is changed. Dwight: The only thing that might have been better for me would have been if I could mark the "current" date done when I did it, right away, instead of waiting till that day came up in the task list and remembering, hey this is where I started. But I am -not- asking for any changes to support that. I don't understand what you want to do that isn't already there...can you give an example? (Even though you are not asking for this feature).
