Hi Andrey, I want to second Wesley's request. The steps are different in my case, but the dialog box is the same:
1. Make sure "Hide completed tasks" is checked. (Completed tasks should be hidden by now.) 2. Execute a search such that the search string appears in at least one of the completed tasks. 3. Click a completed task in the search results. The following dialog box is displayed: --------------------------- Confirm - MyLife Organized --------------------------- Task not found in current outline view. Show all tasks in outline and try to find the task again? --------------------------- Yes No --------------------------- I have a large number of tasks, with a lot of them completed. I almost always view the list as filtered (completed tasks hidden), As a result, this dialog box tends to show up very often during my searches. I believe the assumption behind it is incorrect - namely, that I want to see the completed tasks in the search results, and so I should be warned when they are hidden. In reality it's the opposite: if I'm searching a filtered list, I am not interested in tasks that do not match the filter. But the dialog box pops up every time and is really quite annoying. And the worst thing about it is that if I click "No" in this dialog box, it will pop up *again* when I select the next task in the search results. This makes the list of search results practically unusable until I give up and click "Yes" to un-filter the list. (But I don't want to un-filter the list! I want to keep showing only incomplete tasks.) Such notifications are best implemented as non-modal (as a status bar message, for example), so that they do not stop the user's workflow. Or, the dialog could have a "don't show this again" checkbox, which I would check and never have to see it again. Side note: as a Windows application, MLO is somewhat odd in that it does not make any use of the status bar at all. I'd love to see some brief statistics there, for example (completed/incompleted task counts, etc.). I imagine it could also be used to display notifications in cases like the above in a non-intrusive way that does not block what I'm doing. Thanks so much for considering this request. marek On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 08:18, Andrey Tkachuk (MLO) < [email protected]> wrote: > This message is shown if you are trying to jump to a task which is > hidden due to your current view settings or hide completed tasks > settings. > It is a warning that the task is not found in current view and the > view will be changed (to not surprise user) > > Please provide exact steps where you see this message and you think it > should be removed. > > Andrey. > > On May 11, 4:25 pm, Michael Clayton > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have been trying to apply flags to various tasks in Outline View.
