Well, I used to record all my notes relevant to tasks in MLO, though now I'm using OneNote at work (and that's a brilliant way for recording meetings, if you have it integrated with Outlook and can pull all the meeting information, attendees list, etc, from your calendar). In MLO, I would

I think Andrey and team like to have the flexibility to change their minds and reprioritise. Maybe Andrey also likes to surprise us from time to time. Anyway, an overall roadmap for MLO development has never been published, not even for the Beta testers (at least, not in the last 8 years of my

Hello Brian, You could start by selecting the default "Inbox" View, so you won't need an advanced filter for FolderName. In the list of filters, in the "Contexts" group, you'll find (none) as an option at the top of the list of Contexts. Just select that and you'll have a view of the contents

Backup just backs up your task outline. Views and workspaces are treated separately from the actual task outline. On Friday, 24 September 2021 at 19:10:28 UTC+1 Ryan K wrote: > That seems to work. Instead of exporting views, I was using backup. > (Settings > Backup Profile > Select Views >

If I understand what you're looking for, then that isn't possible. A note is a note and a task is a task, so you can't change what you show in each pane. Having said that, you can copy a link to a task and paste that link into the note of another task. You can also open more than once instance

If you use Markdown formatting in your MLO notes (which you can enable and disable via Tools --> Options --> Appearance), then typing a hyphen and space at the start of the line ("- ") will render as a bullet in view mode. However, many people don't like the complication of having to switch

Where it's whole projects that I pause, it's quite easy to set the project to suspended and then change my view filter (or grouping) to hide all the tasks in that project. For individual tasks, this will take quite a lot more clicks and time to manage. There are a few options: I often adjust

Hello KC. This is one of the benefits of MLO over other project and task management apps - Once you get into the filtering, grouping and sorting options (and in particular the advanced filter), there is very little you can't customise! You don't mention whether you're thinking about the views

I often find the lack of dependencies between different task parameters a bit frustrating, too. However, this doesn't need to affect your filtered view looking the way you want it - the flexibility of the custom filters functions generally more than makes up for this. To make your next actions

I haven't used manual sorting in views (I prefer MLO to do as much of the work as possible so would rather set suitable automatic sorting criteria) so I haven't experienced your problem. I can see why MLO does that, though - As soon as you change any automatic filtering and sorting criteria,
