[MLO] Re: All of a sudden a whole bunch of flags disappeared

[Stephen Jones]

I am still having my flags disappear in my Windows MLO. I am on the latest 
versions and this has been happening since it was first raised in Jan 2016. 
Has there been a solution for it. I cannot find onw on here?

Cheers

[MLO] Re: create new task in view

[Dwight]

The best way (a little complex but works great) is to use advanced setup to 
change your view "phone" from:



*show everything that includes the context "phone"*
to



*show everything that includes the context phone or was created in the last 
8 seconds*
You can code that "created in the last 8 seconds" as createdDateTime is 
greater than Now-0.0001 which works because there are 86,400 seconds per 
day s0 0.0001 of a day is 8.64 seconds

If you are familiar with advanced setup that should give you everything you 
need, if not you probably need step by step instructions, in which case 
write back and I will provide them.

Once this change is made, newly created tasks will not vanish immediately, 
they will hang for about 8 seconds and then vanish. That gives you 8 
seconds to change the context.
One issue, if you add a non-phone task and then immediately bring up the 
phone view the new non-phone task will be in your view for the first 8 
seconds.

[MLO] Re: How to quickly add tasks inside a project (without using rapid entry)?

[Lasse Pedersen]

Yeah - just use alt-Ins to insert the first child item, then Ins for all 
the siblings to follow under it.

[MLO] create new task in view

[TMZ]

Often I want to look if I have already created a task, for example "call 
bob", so I take a look in my view "phone".
If there is no task "call bob", I want to create the task with the context 
"phone".

But if I try that within the view "phone" using "New task", the task 
disappears immediately after typing "Call bob", before I can change the 
context to "phone" and I have to go to the outline view.

I know why it disappears - I'm at the view "phone" and when I create a 
task, it starts with "empty".

How can I create a task in the view "phone" with the context "phone"?

(At the moment I select a task in the view, copy & paste it and rename it - 
is that the quicktest way?)
