Re: [MLO] How do you add a New Task in the Outline tab in v 4.1.0?

2013-07-11 Thread David Rees
Unfortunately my workaround doesn't always work due to the automatic context inheritance (which I really don't like). I do have another workaround that seems to be working better. Instead of creating a new task, I create a new sub-task. The new subtask will inherit its parent tasks contexts so

I am struggling to remember what changes were made to solve this problem - which I think remains a significant issue for new comers (and indeed for established users) there have been suggestions that new/amended items should remain on view in a filtered view where they no longer match the

My workaround in some views is to also include tasks that I have not assigned a context yet, but that doesn't work in cases where a parent has a context because the context sometimes inherited (depending on how the new task was added). And, unfortunately, there isn't a way to turn that off

I still see the same behavior in 4.1.1RC1. Create a view filters for a specific context. Create a new task, type its text, hit enter - the task disappears because it doesn't have that context. Thanks, d On Tuesday, June 25, 2013 2:35:14 PM UTC-7, Dwight Arthur wrote: David, I believe that

Maybe filters need to be more visible? Perhaps the current filter could be added after the workspace name? In any case, I really think it would be better if selected tasks (or at least new ones) were not instantly removed if they are changed. So there is time to update them to be included in

David, I believe that some of your concerns expressed below, especially about selected/added tasks not dropping from a view while you are working on them, may have been addressed in release 4.1.1RC1 (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mylifeorganized/paJaWsZlETQ/eDjDIj5pQ6YJ) -Dwight From:

I was thinking along the lines of, The Outline workspace has been locked to the Outline view. To understand more about locking workspaces, see... But whatever is done should be consistent. Right now a new file comes up with Workspace and not these two tabs. The templates have the two workspaces,

I am struggling in version 4.1.0 with the seemingly simple action of adding a New Task to the Outline tab (after years of using verion 3). Here is what MLO Help says, but it does not work: To add a task: 1. On the Task menu, click New task, and type a task name. In the Outline tab, I

I believe there are some filters applied to the view and that is the reason why your new tasks are not shown. Please check if 'all tasks' filter is selected. Sent from my iPhone. On Jun 14, 2013, at 17:31, Stro stro.asqu...@gmail.com wrote: I am struggling in version 4.1.0 with the

Hi, Stro. Could you check what view you are currently displaying in your Outline tab? (in case you don't know, you determine this by looking at the list of views in the left-hand panel and looking for one whose name is in bold red characters). The behavior you are seeing is what happens when

I would be in favor of having the install process provide new users with a locked outline tab and an unlocked to-do tab. What sore of warning are you thinking of, Lisa? -Dwight On Friday, June 14, 2013 11:14:40 PM UTC-4, Lisa S wrote: I wonder if the update process should lock the Outline tab
