I'd like to see a Windows Phone 8 version too, as the lack of MLO is one of the main reasons I'm not getting a Nokia 925 as an upgrade. I've been testing a Nokia 520 and like the interface, although hoping they improve the notification side with the next update. At present it's on a par with

Hello John, I'm also new to MLO, but I'm going to tell you how I use it: For every project that I create, I assign a context to the tasks in it. Then I add a new tab, and I create a new view associated to this tab. And this new view displays all the tasks of the given context. See what I mean

Hello Steve, I did as you said, but when I added a new task in the workspace, it immediately disappeared. So I right clicked and chose add a new project, and named it Project A (as I had set up in the settings), but it also disappeared... Any idea why ? Thank you. Veran Le lundi 16

Hello, I'm a beginner with MLO and there's something I'm stuck with. I have a project containing tasks. Every time a taks is completed, I ckeck it and the project % grows. But I also have tasks that last more than one day. For example, today I work on the task 1, and I'd like to check it, but

Steve: I was about to write an answer to John, but you seem to have covered it very nicely. Just one comment, if the tasks you want in a particular view are all in a single project or folder and you zoom in to that project or folder, I don't think you need the filter on ProjectName. The

Hi, Veran. Adding new tasks in a filtered view is tricky. Two suggestions: - Go to the All Tasks or outline view. Add your new task(s) there. Make sure they end up under the correct project. Then go back to the project view and you should see them. Or -Take Steve's suggestion to zoom in, but
