Thanks for the reference, though I'm not sure about the font thing you were talking about in that post. Scripting in MLO would solve the problems where AutoHotkey doesn't reach. AHK just presses keys for you, so you have to call each script manually for example press F11. Then all it can to is press keys for you and you can only do what key shortcuts there are available in the window.
What I propose doesn't have to be a complicated API, but at least the ability to obtain an object of a specific task and then tell how to manipulate it. A script could be called from various events like new task or selecting tasks and pressing it's assigned hotkey. For example one could set it up so each time they create a new task under a certain parent, a script is called to set all the desired flags on that task automatically. It of course can do much more that that, if well thought out. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#m_6868135124387358914_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 12:06 PM MG <[email protected]> wrote: > HI imajeff, > > I agree with you. > > Regarding your idea, I've already started a discussion about this type of > feature for some automation. > > Take a look it here: > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mylifeorganized/wxpd1I5WzNU > > Unfortunately, I received any opinion. > > In my viewpoint, even though MLO applies GTD methodology it must - in some > cases - to follow daily dynamics, much of them regarding automation, > leaving us time to think. > > But this is just my opinion, no one has to agree with me. > > I know there are priority features MLO Team want to develop, but some > would be useful for all of us, even though some workarounds works in some > circunstances, but many others don't. > > Stéph, you are right, but what I mean is a lack of a *Flag button* which > allows us to use in Autoformat Rules windows (options)...not icons, nor > their positions in such definition. > > BR > > M > > > > On Friday, April 26, 2019 at 3:48:35 AM UTC+2, imajeff wrote: >> >> I have an idea for the new feature that would solve this and many many >> requests for other features. >> We need a scripting language that can create and modify tasks and then >> the scripts we write can have parameters and be triggered by various >> events.
