Dark mode is not easier on the eyes at all - I find it painful, and there is much research showing that dark mode makes it harder to read and causes eyestrain. Not every single app needs a dark mode. MLO already has fully customizable themes. Try light mode for a bit - your eyes will thank

[MLO] With hierarchy on and parent and child off, tasks are not showing up

2021-01-24 Thread funjul...@gmail.com
I found what looks like a strange bug. With some filters on, and hierarchy off, some tasks show up in the view. But when I turn hierarchy on, with include parent and include child off, the tasks go away and nothing shows up. If I understand correctly, this shouldn't happen, right? Everything

What is the functionality of a goal designation? Right now, if you declare a task to be a weekly goal, then it will show up in a view that is grouped by goals. What if you created a context called "Daily Goal" and then grouped or filtered your tasks by context; would the result be similar? On

I'm not certain, but I believe that showing hierarchy with parents and children works as follows: look at the tasks that you would get with hierarchy off. Are any of these tasks that are shown the parent of other tasks that are also in the view? If so, create a

I find dark mode very helpful on my eyes. However, usually dark mode is implemented in most apps as a feature that can be turned on and off, not something that is permanent. For the apps that I use that have implemented it, every one of them has offered it as an option that needs to be turned on.

I was thinking hierarchy on meant that you would see all hierarchical relations between the items shown, not just immediate ones. That is, everything "in between" the items that pass through the primary filter. But I see your point about turning off both children and parents being the same
