I’ll add to #2 with another reason for past date task completion: sub-tasks with delays that depend upon the task “PROJECT BEGINS”. If I want to fast from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., and I get home at 6 p.m., I need to be able to mark that the fast began 4 p.m., rather than 6:10 p.m. when I marked it complete.

My top three features for a new Windows version: 1. Dark Mode...been waiting forever for this 2. Past date task completion....would like to be able to mark something as completed yesterday, or some other past day, especially as it relates to auto-generation of recurring tasks that regenerate on completion. A lot of times I don't mark the task as completed right away, and then it regenerates to the wrong day, and I have to move it manually. 3. Tab Customization...beyond different icons and text, I'd like the option of having workspace tabs in different colors or being able to make the text bold, to make the more frequently used ones stand out On Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at 8:00:23 AM UTC-7 Dwight wrote: Scripts would be amazing, especially if they could be triggered by a condition in the data as well as by an action. For example, if this task goes more than one week overdue, send an email to Joe with a copy to me. Alternative, build an API and attach an external scripting app like ifttt On May 11, 2022 09:58:27 Stéph <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Yes, wouldn't that be great!

And yes, it would take care of many future feature requests, because advanced forum users could help people write custom scripts, add-ons, or whatnot.

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.
