Doremi, These are all great suggestions. I know exactly what you're talking about with those little markers underneath the slider scale. I don't understand why anyone would need that much precision on entering the importance or urgency of a task. I mean, it's like someone asking you to rate a movie on a scale of 1 to 100 stars -- wouldn't 10 stars or 5 stars be much easier? I'm not going to complain too much, but a lot of other task/to-do programs just have a dropdown with Lower, Low, Normal, High, Highest as their values for importance or urgency.
Also on the Task Notes panel -- I'd prefer there to be a setting on whether or not the task properties panel hides when you're entering notes. I personally think that the default space to edit the task title and type the task notes into (95 pixels tall, with about 240 characters of the notes visible) is a perfectly sufficient space to type notes into (of course if it's more text than that, it can scroll). There might only be a few tasks I would need to type more into the notes than a couple hundred characters. How about a setting in the preferences called "Automatically Hide Task Properties to Edit Note?" (Yes/No) On Monday, December 24, 2012 8:24:44 AM UTC-7, Doremi wrote: > > Yes, it's under General.
