I would add the ability to maintain multiple tabs as being a major step forward for me. To illustrate my current set up:
. Tab 1: Outline showing all tasks except those completed more than 3 days ago (like MLO V3) . Tab2: Main To Do view - like V3 - this is where I mainly work; I also have a helper window open on this window from which I drag tasks that appear at the end of my ToDo list (which is manually sorted) to their 'correct position' in the To Do list. Synched to Tab 1 (remaining tabs are not synched) . Tab 3: Inbox - so that I can monitor tasks that I have added to my Inbox . Tab 4: Outline (Adhoc): so that I can navigate to different parts of my Outline without losing my place in the main To Do view; I sometime switch the view in this tab to show my ToDo view so that I can see where a particular task appears . Tab 5 onward: focus areas: I use a combination of Zoom and Context filtering within each tab to select a particular set of tasks relating to a project or other area of work that I am currently working on; so I have tabs such as Xmas, Planning/Sales; Tidy office/Catch up; Accounts. So when something happens in relation to one of the areas that are current for me (eg I get an email, or something comes into my mind) I can switch to the relevant tab to a) see what I have planned; and b) add/update tasks as appropriate I find this set up makes MLO much easier to use (where I am often working on several different areas at the same time).

Seems to me that the big changes are as follows:- - auto-sync to cloud - new format (shifting Zoom feature to tabs, and shifting saved to-do views into the side menu) but are there any major functional improements in this version? I remember the bigs functional leaps of the past, eg, the introduction of the to-do filter rules, the automatic formating feature, the introduction of colour coding, the task depency feature, introduction of folders.. there doesn't seem to be any major functional improvements to this version.. still think its probably worth upgrading for these improvements.. but am I missing something here? The reviewing feature looks to be new but I'm not sure what it does.. I was actually hoping for some other features to be included in this version, in particular, the ability to have start/due dates dependent on completion dates for other tasks (which has been mentioned a number of times in this forum), which would help the creation of project templates... the calendar, of course, which I understad is still being worked on.. but new versions in the past, if my memory serves me correctly, have tended to offer some major functional new ideas/improvements... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
