I've previously put in a request to be able to set context, flags and dates for a task so that they have a pre-set value or they inherit values from their nearest sibling or parent (eg "Start = Today", "Due = parent's due date", "context = sibling's context"). That would save on a lot of mouse

[MLO] Re: INS key for new task doesn't work. Neither does alt + INS

It's not a problem on my Dell laptop. MLO is honouring the hotkey assignments I've given it, including Ins or Alt+Ins for new task or subtask. If that doesn't work for you, maybe you should try resetting the hotkey assignments to default (there's a button for that under Tools-Options-Hotkeys) a

[MLO] Re: INS key for new task doesn't work. Neither does alt + INS

Good point, zel... It could be something like a display control (eg screen rotation) shortcut over-writing the MLO shortcut. On Monday, 29 October 2018 14:02:59 UTC, zel...@gmail.com wrote: > > Assuming we are talking about a vanilla PC, sounds like your keyboard > codes have changed. This can h

[MLO] Re: Assigned Task Color Backgroud Bug on Themes and Formatting

Hello MG, I can confirm that a bug exists, though I get a slightly different result. In my outline view, where I selected "Menu Highlight" as the font background colour, like you, I got the blue background appearing for all items as well as the blank area below the outline - So I didn't see th

[MLO] Re: Disable Outlook Sync (MLO5/WIN)

Hello André, Do you mean a way to *en*able Outlook sync? I believe that Microsoft have broken the links back to MS Outlook. There was a post, somewhere, in which we were told how to fix Outlook sync - You have to edit Outlook's settings in the Registry on your PC, though I haven't found the me

[MLO] Re: My GTD tips

Hello PBD, Thanks for the link Christoph, Welcome back Dwight! I've had a look through your blog. A lot of what you said chimes with me, PBD. I use folders in MLO to group by Areas (Work, Personal, Home, Community), then by role (electrical engineer, functional safety engineer, dad, home fina

[MLO] Re: Can the indentation for levels in outline be changed?

Sorry, but I don't think there is any way to change indent beyond a single character space (unless you can do it by editing the Registry). So, the alignment of the check-boxes isn't clear enough? One work around might be to increase the font size (via Tools - Options - Themes and Formatting).

[MLO] Re: How To Duplicate Tasks

Hello RM, Each task you enter is a single, separate task. When you enter two tasks in two separate areas of the outline, as subtasks of two separate projects, they are separate tasks and you can't link them so that completing one automatically completes the other. Therefore, in your example, yo

Hello Mike, I need to do the same thing, to cut my file size down and remove my list of "will never do" tasks, before I start synching to an MLO Cloud subscription. I'm going to "Save As..." a copy, then reopen the original file and start cutting out expired branches. I will probably also manua

Re: [MLO] Importance, Urgency and Importance Default Set At Min!

...Which takes us back to my old request to be able to control what the default values are for things like this, start and due dates, context and flags. As, by now, you'll all know, I would like to set whether each of these parameters is set to a fixed value, today's date, or inherits them from

[MLO] Re: Tracking Daily Activities to Encourage Habit Formation

I've previously set up recurring tasks for some habits I want to develop, like exercise. You could track it by making MLO keep a copy of completed tasks (an option somewhere in the set up for recurring tasks), but I don't find that particularly useful for checking how regular my habits get. In

[MLO] Re: Lagging in 5.0 -

As Andrey asked, perhaps we should start with the file size - number of tasks and file kB. Do you have a lot of linked images? Maybe a corruption in the file? It might be worth looking at the .xml in a text editor (or one which highlights xml keywords - I think Notepad++ does that, but it might
