Not to mention the desktop doesn't have the option to ADD contexts when moving (an option that DOES exist on MLO-A) so I end up wasting even more time. It makes me not want to bother sometimes adding contexts when putting things in Inbox but it's just not practical. I NEED to context some of that stuff right away and then [apparently] I need to either propagate down contexts from the project parent or redo what I did when I Inbox'd it.
