John, there are currently three types of schedules, those with some hours defined as open and some hours defined as closed, those that are always open, and those that are always closed. Each of these has a meaning and a use. The behaviour you are seeking tracks exactly with "always closed" contexts except for your first point. If a task has multiple contexts with "always closed" schedules and one context (or potentially, flag) with a defined schedule, the schedule will prevail as in your scenarios b and c. If a task has multiple always-closed contexts and also multiple scheduled contexts (or a flag) then the task will be active any time that at least one of the scheduled contexts is open.The only issue is with the first scenario - if you have a task with multiple contexts, all always-closed, the task will always be closed where you want it to be always open.
So what you are looking for is a fourth type of schedule setting in addition to scheduled, always-closed or always-open which would be always open if every context/tag on this task is this same type, otherwise always closed. This would be valuable because it would allow combining contexts in ways not currently possible. For example, if a task has context "phone" which can be done anytime, but this particular task must be done in the evening, you cannot combine "phone" and "evening" to get the right result - this new type would allow combining, for that reason I would call it "combinable" - I hope there is a better name because I can only imagine how difficult it would be to explain to a newbie when to use combinable schedule versus always open or always closed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
