@dr Uqbar
2) When I open next actions for instance, change sorting by the combo on the bottom the sorting work. Previously it did not so it looks like under certain circumstances it does not sort. I will try to find out when it does not work and then come back to you.
3) Who knows, what is frequently used by the users? It seems it would be great to have a list of features with voting possibility Then you will know that some feature is not just an idea of single user. This forum is probably not the best for this purposes
In this special case I use very frequently moving task from next actions list to waiting. But if I move the task to @waiting, then I will loose current project/context settings and then the task has only @waiting context and no project

@Johan
I did that past appointments thing. Try it out and let me know what you think!

@Pavel
1)2 sorts huh? I will try that..
2)You mean sort by context using the sort combo at the bottom? Do your actions have other contexts assigned except the one you are viewing?
3)But I though its more frequent to move an action than to add another tag to it.

@dr Uqbar
1) It would be good to have it there at least. However, better would be to have it sorted always by status and then by custom selection.
2) I have tried to sort @Waiting, Next Actions, etc. and nothing happens when I change it in sorting combo
3) You are right, I did not know that. However, there is always checked “Move” so that it is very easy to accidentally move a task to a single project/context. This means to manually add the task back to all projects/contexts it was before. So I propose to have Move checkbox unchecked by default

Very nice tool indeed! Have tried it out now for a week. I look forward to release 4, hoping for the update where past appointments don’t show up e.g.

@Pavel
1) This can be done. I have to add one more sorting style by status. But the list will be sorted ONLY by that field. What do you think?
2) I think widgets are using the default sorting method. Its saved every time you set it in an action list.
3) Home widgets have less room for icons. You can assign selected items by using the assign help box which is automatically displayed when you select a task from a widget.

@Thomas
Thanks for the positioning popup code. I’ve added it and it will be in for the next preview release.

Done tasks ARE grayed and strikeout. I’ve tested it. Maybe I fixed it after this release.Please check the next release and let me know if it works for you.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts and sorry for blocking your comments (you can blame Akismet!)

@Mathias
1. I will try that even if it happens a few days a year!

2. You can sort items using the latest preview release by creation date, context, subject and due date, but its still a preview!

Preview release 4 will be on in the next couple of weeks with the new Masterlist.

Hi dr Uqbar,

I like your wonderfull tool and I have 2 suggestions:

1. In the date columns of all lists, only the day and month is displayed. I have also tasks in the next years, therefore it would be nice, if the year would be displayed, too.

2. Is it possible to sort according the date in the lists for projets and contexts, as it is done for the the calender week and month? I tried it in version 3.5beta using the application setting checkbox “sort task by due date”, but it does not work. (I use a german outlook 2003).

Oops, there has been some debug code in it. Use this instead:

// Change by TRE
// Original:
//var tl=it.Subject;
//if (it.Status==2){tl=""+tl+"";}
//if (it.recurring==true){tl=""+tl+"";}
//if (it.SmallLetters==true){tl=""+it.Subject+"";}
//if (mini!=null && it.Subject.length>50){tl=""+it.Subject.substr(0,50)+"...";}
// New:
var tl=null;
if ((mini!=null) && (it.Subject.length>50)){
tl= ""+it.Subject.substr(0,50)+"...";
} else if (it.SmallLetters) {
tl= ""+ it.Subject +"";
}else {
tl= it.Subject;
}
if (it.Status==2){tl=""+tl+"";}
if (it.recurring==true){tl=""+tl+"";}
// END of change by TRE
