Optionally complete all child tasks when parent task is completed
When marking a task / project as completed, if it has any incomplete child tasks, MLO should prompt the user to confirm by presenting a dialog with a list of the child / descendant tasks that will also be marked as completed.
If the user confirms, MLO should then proceed to mark the task, and all incomplete descendant tasks as completed.
This involves cascading task completion to descendant tasks, and is related to the following idea which involves propagating changes up to ancestors:

Reduce default weight factor assigned to start date (for computed score ordering)
In options -> To-Do ordering options -> Weight factors it is possible to modify the weight for some task factors. In my opinion, the default weight assigned to start date is too high.
I was puzzled by one task always appearing at the top of my "active actions" view, which is sorted by Computed-Score. I was very pleased to discover that I could modify the weight assigned to start date, however, it was necessary to reduce it to about 10% (visual approximation) to get a sorting that made sense. I suspect that this may be the case for most users.

Semi-automatic task completion and project status
Would it be possible to change a task's completion field (if it's a project, its status too) depending on changes to its child tasks?
Also, could you ensure that a project's "Completed" status is automatically updated to reflect any changes to its own completed field (checkbox) and vice-versa?
Here are a few cases:
a task is not completed (if project, status is NOT "Completed"), and the last remaining ongoing child tasks are marked as completed or deleted:
- desired behaviour: prompt the user whether to mark the parent task as completed (and the project status to "Completed")
a task is already …

Usability improvement for Min and Max Time (MLO Windows)
It's minor but should be easy to implement.
Problem:
If I type 1:30 into Min Time in the properties pane, it becomes "1 hour, 30 min" (which is ok), however, if I then type 3 into Max Time, both properties are reset to "3 min".Expected behaviour:
If one of the values has already been entered, the second one should respect the units used i.e. hours:minues, etc (while still validating Max Time >= Min Time). In the case of the above example, this should have resulted in a Max Time value of "3 hours".If the user has entered a…

Special character @context in search field finds all the tasks that have assigned that context
If I type @home in the search field all the tasks that have the context home assigned to them will be displayed.
If I type in the search field "printer @work @office1" all the tasks that contain the word printer in their name and have the contexts work AND office1 will be displayed.

Adapt mobile views to the desktop version look
I find it hard on the iphone to recognize my MLO File. Every format of the tasks is left out. Not the font nor the colours or even the background colour get´s synchronized. Those features should at least be synchronized to the mobile versions. It´s not necessary to have the option to edit them there.

Bluetooth Sync
My workplace blocks all network traffic, so I am unable to sync my Windows Desktop version with my Android device. I cannot use wifi or cloud to sync. Allowing to sync over Bluetooth would solve this problem.

Allowing more than one Next Action within a Project (by use of a new field)
At present MLO forces users to work in a strictly linear mode when using the Next Action views. i.e. it only shows ONE Next Action at a time for each project.
However, according to GTD theory, if more than one Action on a Project is truly actionable right now then you should list them ALL as 'Next Actions'.
So what I am calling for to have a new field called "Force Next" (or something similar) that will in effect "force" that Action to appear in the Next Actions view even if it is not the first Action in the list…

Password protection timeout
The password protection feature is great as I'd been waiting for since the early days of MLO back in 2005!
Any chance of implementing a password protection time out, so if I don't use MLO for a while I'm required to re-enter my password?
The reason I ask is that often I'll forget to close MLO at the end of the day and sometimes our maintenance team will jump onto your machine to apply updates.

Desktop: A dialog to modify a task
I'd suggest to add the future to modify a task via a dilog. Very ofther it is more efficient to modify all the task's attrubutes in a single dedicated dialog rather then wondering between lists of tasks and side-bar menu with properties..
It has been done already for Android platrorm, why don't make it for the Desktop app as well?2 votes -

Enable full planning capability
This is to some extent an amalgamation of some features that have been requested and some new ones, but the intention behind this suggestion is that all of them would be needed to allow MLO users to use the software to plan complex projects which have a deadline.
- A 'Schedule On' date in addition to start (when one could start a task) and due (when one must finish a task), schedule on would be when one intends to do a task (some time between the two).
- The start date for dependent tasks should be automatically a set time after their…

Radio Buttons in Groups in lieu of Scroll/Drop down menu for Min/Hour/Day in SNOOZE pop-up in Android.
I work in an environment of un-even work load. I snooze a lot of my reminders. Postponing it to the next day or to finish during lunch/dinner or after hours/late. Procrastinate for a few minutes to few hours. Every time I hit snooze, it is very time consuming to make a change. Especially, if I want to postpone a number of reminders/tasks due to some urgency.
I wish to have following group of radio buttons for snoozing:
Group #1: Minute / Hour / Day (right now it takes 1 more click to get radio buttons)
Group #2: 0, 1, 2,…4 votes -
Amazon Fire Phone: create app widgets

Separate window for Task Parameters
The sidebar for inputting parameters can be a little difficult to use as it seems very squashed into the edge of the page. Would be good if you could double click on the task and a window open with the task properties available for setting/amending. MS project does this for task items with a tabbed page.
