[MLO] Re: Autocomplete of contexts?

Hello Damian. I can't answer all of your wishes, but here are a couple: As far as sharing and collaboration is concerned, I believe you and your wife could collaborate in MLO if you share and sync a file in the MLO (Amazon) Cloud. For contexts, while there isn't an autocomplete option, there

[MLO] Re: How to open a task in MLO profile B in the MLO profile A note section?

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 o

[MLO] Re: MLO View Backups in iOS

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 > Ba

[MLO] Re: Ranking goals and projects like tasks

I don't think there is. All parameters are specific to an individual task. It doesn't look like there are any View sort parameters which will help you with this one, either - That's very unusual. On Thursday, 21 October 2021 at 21:09:02 UTC+1 zel...@gmail.com wrote: > From what I understand, wh

[MLO] Re: Best Use of Folders

Hello John, Welcome to the MLO community. Regarding folders: Firstly, I structure my outline into areas of my life (personal, home, work, community), then roles (&Father / Family, &Earner / Finances, &Home Improver, &Engineer, &SCADA Specialist... - don't worry about the & prefixes - I just u

[MLO] Re: I'm trying to sync the Windows app from a chromebook

I've played with Linux a little bit in the recent past, but that's the problem with it: How do you even know that things like "MS XML parser (msxm16)", "wininet", and "xmllite" even exist, let alone when you'd need to consider installing them? On Friday, 5 November 2021 at 08:55:25 UTC Daniel

[MLO] Re: Inbox view tweak

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 of

[MLO] Re: is there anything about the roadmap？

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

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 reco
