Hi all,

I love using Tracks and have just updated to 2.1 after excitedly noticing
the BitNami installer has been updated.

I was hoping that an issue / my misunderstanding with repeating / recurring
todos had been cleared up in the new version, but I still cannot fathom it.
I wonder if anyone out there can explain to me how it works?

For example, I'm trying to setup a recurring reminder for the start of
every quarter to begin a new budget spreadsheet. Quarters begin on the
01-Aug, 01-Nov, 01-Feb and 01-May. I put in the following:

Description
  Begin a new budget spreadsheet

Recurrence period
  Monthly

Starts on
  1/8/2012

Ends on
  No end date

Settings for monthly recurring actions
  Day 1 on every 3 months

Set recurrence on
  the date that the todo is due
  Show the todo 0 days before the todo is due

This, I am expecting, will create a task in the tickler for 01-Aug, but it
doesn't - the first task is dated 01-Nov, three months later.

Ah ha!, I say - for some reason I don't understand, it's skipping the first
occurrence - I'll setup a new recurring reminder using exactly the same
details, but this time set to start on 01-May. However, this time the first
task in the tickler is scheduled for 01-Oct (not part of the three month
cycle at all) !

I would certainly appreciate your input into this to help me set these
things up reliably...

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance,

Simon
