Chris: you’re welcome. This configuration screen really belongs as a page in Settings.
Let me tell you why I need so many levels of urgency. Some of the views I use have multiple sorts, with completed tasks at the bottom, starred tasks at the top, and within each section tasks are in the order I want them done. I get the "order I want them done" by assigning decreasing urgency values. Usually I will decrease the urgency value by 4 for each new task, because this gives room to add tasks _between_ other tasks without laborious renumbering. I click the urgency bar to get into the right neighborhood, then use the left or right arrows to get to the correct value. I wouldn't mind having the five easy selection buttons so long as I didn't loose the ability to manually set a precise value. -Dwight Chris <[email protected]> wrote: Wow, thank you Dwight! ...

It’s just terribly hard to find, but I’ll tell you where it is. Make certain that the properties pane is _not_ minimized. If it is, click on the word “properties” to bring it back up. Then, right-click on the word “properties” to bring up a context menu. It should say Expand All/Collapse All/Configure. Select Configure, and at the bottom you will find “Edit Notes in Full panel”. Turn it off. -Dwight From: [email protected] <javascript:> [mailto:[email protected] <javascript:> ] On Behalf Of Chris Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2012 7:26 PM To: [email protected] <javascript:> Subject: [MLO] Re: Features In MLO v3 I Prefer To Remain In MLO v4 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. What I'm saying is that MLO v3 has thos little markers where you can just click on it to set them in the desired scale after which you can move the slider to fine tune the value if you want but not necessarily.

I preferred to have the old markers which I can click on the set specific value of 'less', 'min', 'normal', 'more' and 'max' then fine tune the value later if I really needed a different value (which is seldom.) I see those in the properties tab under General. - Task Notes and Properties. MLO v3 had separate tabs for Notes and Properties. And a section for Notes within the Properties. The problem with MLO v4 is that when I want to enter a one liner or two in the Notes by clicking on the Notes pane(?), the Notes "pane' expands and the Properties pane(?) contracts. I have to click on the Properties to make it's sections visible again. I don't want to have to do that. I think that if I really needed the task notes to expand to full pane, I'll just click on the Properties Section Header(?) to collapsed the Properties. Collapsing the Properties Pane should NOT be automatic. Indeed; things should really keep their sizes, unless you have a Visual Studio-style thumbtack option to toggle its allowance to move windows for you. Tab pinning is probably intended to function like Chrome, only the ability to set an icon for the tab isn't in yet. Or at least I hope that's planned, since otherwise its kinda pointless. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
