I've started trying out the desktop version of MLO and it looks like there are a lot of different ways to handle completed items:
1. Delete items instead of checking them off 2. Check off items, and keep the "hide completed tasks" checkbox checked 3. Check off items, and occasionally review and delete the checked off items 4. Check off items, and set AutoArchive to do something with old items 4.1. Set AutoArchive to copy completed tasks to another file (but leave them in the main file) 4.2. Set AutoArchive to move completed tasks to another file (i.e., copy to other file and delete from main file) 4.3. Set AutoArchive to delete completed tasks permanently (without copying them to another file) On top of this, there are a bunch of options to configure when AutoArchive runs. It seems almost as ill-conceived as MS Outlook's AutoArchive feature, and it's so bloated with options I'm having a hard time figuring out whether I should even trust it to do the right thing. It seems like there should just be a button to "clean up completed items" instead. I appreciate the capabilities of MLO, but frankly, it blows my mind that I have to ask basic questions like this in the first place. I would highly recommend that the developers come up with a single straightforward "correct" solution and banish AutoArchive and all its complexity to the dark realm from whence it came. What does everyone else do with their completed tasks? Are there any gotchas that I should be aware of before adopting your workflow? Bonus points: do I need to be worried about my recurring tasks or their subtasks being removed by AutoArchive? Do I have to set the advanced task properties to ensure that recurring tasks and their subtasks don't get deleted? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
