I see frequent suggestions which would be very practical if we first had the most important feature of all: We need scripting!
It is related to the suggestion MLO needs an API, and the bottom line is the longer you keep adding extra code to have more and more features, the more bloat, slow-down, and unnecessary complications I have to deal with even if I don't need any of those new features. The more you keep changing in features without rewriting as an API-friendly and scriptable tool, the more wasteful work has been done for nothing because if you ever do finally make it all scriptable, those should now be done differently instead of integrated in the base application, so someone has to rewrite all of them to be reasonable. The advantage of scripting is more than one might think because any event can be a hook to run script in any context and once people can add features then everyone could have the same feature but not if they don't need that one. Then another could take the same feature idea and make it work better for different circumstances with less effort. The only problem with adding scripting or at least the API interface to allow scripting is if you don't properly implement to be efficient and capable but there should be many examples to learn from in opensource communities. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
