2. Bug in group by 'Top Level Parent'/ 'Parent' (MLO Windows)

   Found in version: 4.3.1

   Preconditions:
   * There should be at least 3 level hierarchy of tasks

   Steps to reproduce:
   * Create new workspase (or choose existing). The list of tasks should be displayed.
   * Choose 'Group by..'
   * Pick 'Top Level Parent'

   Actual grouping in this case will be performed by 'Parent', not by 'Top Level Parent'. In case if 'Parent' was chosen, actual groupping will be performed by a top level parent =)

   Though it isn't a big deal, could it be fixed, please?

3. iPhone: colored flags

   I use flags extensively in MLO for Windows to classify types of tasks. Not having them on the iPhone makes the app almost unusable for me, as the classification is lost.

   If/when you add them, It would be great then to include them among the filters used for building the customised views that you are currently testing.

   Thank you.

4. Support location-based notifications on the iPhone using iOS geofencing

   At present, MLO iPhone (1.4.0.1761.2) allows locations to be added to contexts. It also has a 'Nearby' ToDo view, which will look for active tasks by their context location, and show those that are closest.

   However, this still means that unless you actually open MLO and tap on the 'Nearby' icon, you cannot be alerted when you're close to a particular context. What would be even more useful, is if the iPhone can actually alert you when you pass by, arrive at, or leave, a location.

   iOS 5+ supports this feature, called geofencing. The idea, is that when a user sets a context (eg. "Supermarket"), they would set the location, and also a radius from that location - ideally this would be using the Maps/Google Maps view and API.

   Generally you want to be reminded of something at 1. a specific time, 2. in a specific place, or 3. when a specific event occurs. MLO can do (1); this is (2).

   Hence, whenever a user creates a task that is active in the geofence (eg. "Get Milk"), they can select whether or not they want Geofence alerts for that task. MLO would then send the geofence to the iOS Location Manager.

   Then, when the user passes the supermarket, MLO would generate the notification "get milk". The user can open the alert, and complete the task.

   Ideally, the user can also set a defined period after arriving at/leaving from the location (eg. "Remind me 10 minutes after arriving at Supermarket, to Post Letter at Check-out"). This should probably be on a per-task basis, rather than per-location basis.

   Reason for feature:
   I often forget to check MLO while actually in a location (eg. Office; the Shops). This would allow MLO to remind me, without me having to check

   Other products doing this
   Apple's own Reminders app allows geofenced notifications on arriving/leaving an address. It only works with addresses however.
   Checkmark is another, very good app promoted by Lifehacker as specifically focused on this. I use it at present - however, it would be great just to use MLO as the one, central app for this, rather than having to use two

   Foreseen issues:
   - There might be 'notification fatigue' if a lot of alerts pop up on arrival at a context location. Putting notification on/off settings in the task, rather than context, can help here.
   - Geofencing can only tell the OS to wake the app if the location fence is crossed; it cannot check first whether the task at that location is actually active or not, at the time the fence is crossed. However, if the geofence can wake MLO first, so that it can check if the task if currently active, that would help
   - Battery life is traditionally reduced by apps that continually check location (eg. SatNav). However, Geofencing is designed to greatly reduce this, by checking location intelligently and occasionally; users of Checkmark often quote no noticeable additional drain.

   At present, MLO iPhone (1.4.0.1761.2) allows locations to be added to contexts. It also has a 'Nearby' ToDo view, which will look for active tasks by their context location, and show those that are closest.

   However, this still means that unless you actually open MLO and tap on the 'Nearby' icon, you cannot be alerted when you're close to a particular context. What would be even more useful, is if the iPhone can actually alert you when you pass by, arrive at, or leave, a location.

5. Lock a tabbed workspace to a specific view

   MLO 4.0 has implemented a tabbed view and includes a command to set a particular view as default for a tab. Once the default is set, the user can quickly and easily reset the workspace back to the default view. The release did not implement view locking, which would allow the user to say that this workspace should never change its view, and ask MLO to prevent it from changing.

   Why do we need a lock if we already have the default? Even if you want a tab to remain unchanged, it is very easy to change it by mistake and it can be difficult to notice the change and understand what happened. While the tab has a changed view you are liable to make several types of mistakes, like updating the wrong project, getting a mistaken impression of the status of your tasks, or starting a cascade of system-created AllTasks tabs because your existing AllTasks tab got changed. If the default provides you all of the functionality that you need, and you are organized and alert enough that you don’t make this kind of mistakes, then you don’t need locks. The users who have voted for this proposal feel that locks would be an important improvement to MLO.

   Specific recommendation:
   1. Provide a checkbox somewhere such as the context menu for a tab or the "setup workspace" popup labeled "lock tab to current view". The line is grayed out if default view is not yet defined.

   1. While the "lock" checkbox is set, if the user attempts modify the view, briefly display (and automatically dismiss) an error message like "Workspace is locked. Opening view in new workspace." Leaving the locked tab unchanged, open a new tab and show the requested view there. Examples of changes that would cause this action would include zooming in or out, changing the view's filter settings, or loading a different view.

   2. While the "lock" checkbox is set, the ability to delete a workspace by clicking the [x] in the tab is inhibited.

   In order to assist in the development of this change, appropriate help text has already been provided to the developers.

7. Add option for disabling progress bar in outline view

   The progress bar for projects added to the outline view in version 4 can be useful. However, it makes it impossible to use highlighting colors on projects (I rely very much on highlighting to classify my projects visually). Also it can have very distractive effects when trying to navigate the outline view.

   Users shgould be able to choose whether they want the progress displayed in the outline view or not.

9. android : adapt the android version for tablets (something like the ipad app)

   Current app is build obviously for phones and despite the android feature to adapt the app to the screen size, it is not very usable. I would suggest adapting the app' to use all the available screen size (design of the ipad version seems quite nice)

   Thanks

    I like the way archiving completed tasks is set up. However, I'd like an option for "1 day". Presently, the shortest length is to archive completed tasks after FIVE days, which results in a lot of unnecessary completed tasks in my files.

16. Add a Review feature

    Without built-in support for a review process, some items stagnate, using views and filters in MLO to carry out a review can be a complex and frustrating undertaking, and that you don't know what has been reviewed and what hasn't.

    The review process would be similar to adding reminders, but not intrusive. After talking to a friend who uses OmniFocus, this is the review process I have in mind:

    1. A new "review" view would be added to the app.
    2. When you add/process a new task, you set a review frequency (similar to setting up a recurring task--e.g., "second Monday of every month" or "1 week after the next time the task is checked off from the review"). The review frequency could also be set on a folder or context, just as other attributes can be set on a folder and inherited by child tasks.
    3. The task does not show up in "review" until its next review date comes up.
    4. Check the "review" view as often as you like; it will only show items for the current review.
    5. You can update tasks in the review as necessary, or just check them off to show that you've reviewed them.

    Future improvements:
    1. Filter the review by priority, urgency, due date, context, project, folder, goal, etc.
    2. When viewing/editing a task, show the user the last time that task was reviewed.

    The killer feature of this type of review process is that it allows your reviews to be incremental, so you can do the review while waiting for the bus, standing in line at the grocery store, etc. Because you eventually review everything in the list, you don't have to worry about things being forgotten, no matter how many items you have. It also gives you the ability to easily prune duplicates and delete tasks that no longer should be in your system (e.g., an expired coupon from one of those online deal sites).

    Of course, this feature would not force any particular workflow on anyone--just as you can choose whether or not to set recurrences, reminders and deadlines; you could choose whether or not to set a review frequency for each context, folder or task.

    I have some ideas on how to abuse contexts and meta-tasks to perform reviews, but I don't think those ideas will scale very well.

    2.')Sync when leaving the program, to be sure that all changes will be mirrored at the MLO cloud
    3.) Sync in periodical time frames (e.g. every hour)

19. Make custom views available via the cloud, to Android, iPhone, etc.

    Custom views allow us great precision in seeing our data. For those of us who are using custom views, the 'canned' views available on the android and iphone are near-useless in comparison. Instead of many possible views on the android screen, none of which are very useful, how much more functional it would be to be able to import custom views via the cloud, and choose which views we would like displayed on the android or iphone main screen.

    Custom views implemented in MLO on all platforms. You can import/export views between MLO on iOS/Android/Windows.

20. mark a task as notes, so we dont accidentally "complete" it.

    This feature request is similar to "folder" where you mark a task as folder and a folder icon replaced the checkbox.

    I request for a similar option to mark a task as "Note".

    MLO is perfect to be used as a note tracking/organising tool as it has endless tree branched and folder option + mobile app & sync to complement it.

    A perfect fit for storing and carrying notes, EVERYWHERE~!
