Hi.
My approach for zoom would be to go to the Main View and set in the Advanced Filter section “Top Level Folder Name=Joel’s Stuff”. That would just show me tasks from one folder. To hide completed tasks, I do this: 1. Since the view in the pane is set first in the Main Window, I 2. Edit Advanced Settings and add “Complete=False”. That will hide the completed tasks in the Main View and as well the Dashboard with the same view name. As an aside, I have a dashboard that shows JUST completed tasks over the past hour, so that I can see my rate of accomplishment. I only have true accomplishments set to “show completed tasks”; otherwise, “Have coffee” would be incorrectly shown as an accomplishment. HTH.

This is an absolute must for this tool to be of any use to me. I cannot find anything in the help files. I'm looking for any reason to buy this new upgrade but so far it's been frustration.

A bit more observations after using MLO 6. * Dashboard : Like you say Wolfgang, there was already the new window feature if tabs were not enough. Reason I will not use the dashboard is that you can't really edit much. No way to double-click, right click menu etc... Beside a grocery list, I rarely simply check mark a task as done. I need to enter a note, change the review date, refocus on the project top level to add, edit or remove tasks etc... All that is well served with what I had so far. * Trigger : Before, I had created some life habit tasks consisting of life habit recurrent messages every X, to be checked at the start of the day. So that shoulder tapping feature looked like a good replacement. But when you are in a mist of working, the gradual pop-pup gets disturbing at least with my set-up heavily using "Review". Will likely keep it for project completion but definitely not a cliff jumper for me. * Reminder window : Very minor change. 5.X type of. @Michael : I don't see customer feedback as a NEGATIVE thing. Quite to the contrary, a client taking the time to share his thoughts and concerns is a POSITIVE. No one is bashing this app here. Personally, MLO remains my favorite task manager and certainly my most used app. Michel Le ven. 6 janv. 2023, à 04 h 07, Wolfgang <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > a écrit : Michael, after trying out MLO 6 Beta I had similar thoughts. On the one hand, it is amazing that the MLO team managed to continue development at all, given the circumstances. On the other hand, these cannot have been the most longed for improvements, nor the most low hanging fruit. * Dark theme: ok, may be useful for some * Markdown: as you mentioned, would make sense if it were WYSIWYG style. But I'm always in edit mode, so who am I formatting for? * Triggers and Actions: I still have hopes here. This could be made more useful if Actions would permit to either create/modify/delete tasks or pass task data to other applications (Outlook rules come to mind). As it is now, it's an expensive way to pat yourself on the back. * Dashboard: don't rightly know what to do with it. There is already the option to open a view in a new window (F3) if needed. Based on the name, I had hoped for more visualization (pie chart for counters, gantt chart for projects, sunburst diagram for goals or the like). * Reminder window: haven't used that so far, as my tasks are not scheduled for a specific time. So, apart from donating to the team, it's kind of hard to justify the expense. Wolfgang [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> schrieb am Dienstag, 3. Januar 2023 um 18:07:51 UTC+1: Hi, With the hard time Ukraine is going thru, I was more then happy to jumps at the MLO 6 upgrade offer and "support the team" However I'm somewhat disappointed with it. Of all the feature requests in this forum, were "Trigger and Actions" and "Dashboard" really on the top of the list? Does a "Dark mode" that is still shaky really deserve to be called MLO 6? How many times have we seen post like these : Reset some task properties when recurring : https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/gxCJNvl6vnc/m/_sxSY2mLAgAJ Recurring task based on Start date : https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/_wJXkbUDYKQ/m/FPraT2mLAgAJ Note field : 1. Not sure if I'm alone but since working on tasks is a live process, my properties right pane is always in Edit mode. Markdown, with all its added symbol becomes useless. Why all others apps can have WYSIWYG and not MLO? I'm writing this post in GMail and the Bold text shows as Bold. No weird symbol letting me know that the reader will see it as Bold. 2. The note section is very small and this is another thing that has been posted many times. I taught we would finally have an un-dockable window with a real formatting tool. 3. How many users are relying on 3rd party apps to gather notes on tasks because MLO note is too limiting... An many other feature requests were left behind? As a human, my heart is still with you programming team but as a client I'm very disappointed.
