1. Android: change priority labels

   I suggest new Importance and Urgency priority labels as follows (or, alternatively, the user ability to customize them).

   Currently, the seven choices make assigning the appropriate one more difficult than necessary.

   I suggest five options, instead (or even three) with corresponding label changes.

   With five selection choices, I suggest:

   Highest
   Higher
   Normal
   Lower
   Lowest

   -or-

   Most
   More
   Normal
   Less
   Least

   Highest or Most is the equivalent of Max, but those terms are consistent and the value more clearly relative to the other choices.

   Alternately, with three choices:

   High
   Normal
   Low

   -or-

   More
   Normal (or Norm)
   Less

   Of course, presently the labels are:

   Max
   A lot
   More
   Normal
   Less
   Little
   Min

2. Refine navigation for mobile users

   A few things would make navigation on the mobile platform easier:

   Create a 'view in outline' option within a task
   (Helpful for tasks opened via list views, widgets, etc)

   Allow notes to be edited and saved without additional clicks
   (Previous version of MLO Android allowed notes to be edited without pressing edit, and changes were saved just by pressing 'back arrow', which also navigated to note

   Allow easier navigation to sync
   (Particularly for users that heavily use widgets, the number of clicks to sync MLO is excessive.)

   I invite any other suggestions on how to make navigation to existing functionality easier on mobile platforms!

   Thank you!

3. Extra task fields (AKA "Custom Task Attributes")

   I have recently been spending time with an MLO competitor which has a feature that they call "Custom Task Attributes", which I consider to be a total game-changer.

   In effect these are task fields that you can add for yourself, and name them to whatever suits you, and then have them show up everywhere as if they were standard task data fields. In the competitor application the users is allowed to add a large number (e.g. 10?) of such "Custom Task Attributes" if wanted.

   Moreover you can even chose whether each new field is plain text, or is a list. And if the field is to be a list, is it multi-selection or single selection. (And even whether data can be added to it by the user).

   To me this is jaw-droppingly powerful and takes the configurability of the system to a whole new level.

   Any takers?

   J

   PS If you are a follower of GTD method, please note that the above allows you to add fields like "Area of Responsibility" and action status (e.g. "Waiting", "Sometime-Maybe", "Active", "Later" etc), and even a "Waiting For" to define the user you are waiting for... all without resorting to messy workarounds.

   Personally I would give all my votes for this if I could. And as user of an albeit modified version of the GTD method, who has over 500 tasks in my system, without such fields... sorry but MLO is of no use to me.

4. High DPI and 4K Support for Windows

   With more and more screens out there that require screen scaling at more than 100% it is time for MLO to catch up with many other applications and lead the desktop task organizers category with supporting scaling on these higher DPI screens.
   MLO is a program that is probably used more than occasionally by most users and the fuzzy appearance or too-small items on these screens is just too hard on the eyes.

5. Links with MLO urls in other apps should...

   A task copied as a Url and pasted into an other "external" application when followed/clicked there, should and ought to trigger MLO to use an already running instance to open the corresponding entry.
   Currently MLO seems to always open a new instance of itself leading to a situation where instance No:2 can't open the entry because it's, well locked by instance No:1.

6. allow Android widget to open program more easily

   Currently the widget allows the option of changing the view it displays (from the main widget title bar) and an option to go to MLO (from the small widget option button.

   It seems more natural and productive to allow the widget title bar to open that view in MLO, and give an option on the small widget menu to change the view for that widget.

7. iphone: add more custom options to Recurring setting.

   1. On any given period = 2 Days. (where 2 can be set by user and period can be chosen from a list Days/Weeks/Months/Years.
   2. On some days of the week = user are presented with a list from Monday to Sunday. He can then tick the days he wants the task to recur.

   The above ideas added to the recurring settings you already have will allow for almost all permutations of what a user may need for the recurring of his different tasks. (Add to this the On Completion idea mentioned in a different post!)

8. add an option under recurring that allows for On Completion

   At the moment you can only set recurring events on dates, like the 1st of every month, ect. With the On Completion option ticked you will still set recurring timeframe, let us say 4 weeks, but now the recurring task will be set to 4 weeks from the DATE OF COMPLETION of the last task. Example: Lets say you want to be reminded to cut your hair every 10 days and you set a recurring reminder with On Completion option chosen. Now the task will apear in the next action list, but let us say that for some reason you could not cut your hair for 4 days, then after the cut you mark task as done, it should now reset for 10 days from the completion date.

9. Android: Have more task details options for the widget

   Current the Android Widget shows only context and due date along with each task. Other, more useful information is missing; things like Project, Time Required, Goal (for those that use it), Notes etc. It would be good to be able to select what task properties to have the widget show along with the task name.

10. Create line-wrapping (word-wrapping, auto-flow) in Rapid Task Entry

    I use the Rapid Task Entry all day long to type notes in call or in meetings. It is great for this purpose as it easily floats on-top of other programs and all of the content is saved even when you close and restart MLO.

    However, there are drawbacks -- the greatest, I feel, is that long sentences flow outside of the window infinitely and one must continue to scroll left to read them.

    Basic notepad programs have a word-wrapping option and I think it would great to either have word-wrapping by default or as a feature for the Rapid Task Entry.

    Thank you!

11. Android: Filter list views to display a task only when the user is physically inside the location geo-fence for the task's assigned Context.

    In short, this would allow users to create a To-Do list that dynamically adapts to their changing location throughout a given day. It would show the user a list of only contextually relevant tasks, removing those tasks for which the user is outside the geo-fence of the assigned context.

    Detailed explanation:

    One of the things that drew me to MLO over competing apps was that I incorrectly assumed that it was able to dynamically change the To-Do list based on your current location. A task should only be "Active" when your Android phone is within the geo-fence for that task's MLO Context, provided that a location Context has been set. Or at least, this should be an option that the user can manually assign to individual tasks and projects, like the other options MLO offers in the right-side details/edit panel.

    It doesn't seem that MLO has a manual specific to the Android app. The PDF manual is largely based on the Windows version of MLO. It doesn't touch on location based functionality at all. I haven't seen much other documentation on the Android app other than the videos, so I gleaned my understanding from personal trial and error. Please point me to any in-depth resources, if they exist, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    My understanding is that the use of assigned locations for MLO Contexts and the phone's ability to use geo-fencing to sense when it enters or exits one of these assigned locations is confined exclusively to the non-customizable "Nearby" list. There does not appear to be any filter or other criteria that one can use to create a custom list that only displays tasks for one or all MLO Contexts when the phone is physically present in the location(s) assigned to those Contexts.

    Unless I'm missing something, this seems like an extremely useful feature that many users would benefit from. I also think it would not require a very large amount of additional development, as the app already utilizes geo-fencing for the Nearby list and it can already alert the user upon entering Contexts - this is the functionality that would require more legwork to develop. Implementing what I described would largely involve applying conditional rules to lists using location data the app already has. It seems like a relatively straightforward task, especially being that something similar is already implemented in "Nearby."

    In short, this would allow users to create a To-Do list that dynamically adapts to their changing location throughout a given day. It would show the user a list of only contextually relevant tasks, removing those tasks for which the user is outside the geo-fence of the assigned context.

13. Use static workspace settings by new task creating

    When you create a task within a workspace it should be very helpfull that all known parameters of that view are already set tonthat task.

    Of course views are very powerfull and flexible, but often a few parameters, like context and flags, are already know, so why not respect them when creating a new task in that workspace / view, as you probably need to set that as well.

14. Add a "Last Action" text field

    I used a the contact manager software ACT years ago and it had a text field named "Last Action" with a timestamp I found this very useful as it provided a short description of the last action that was taken on this particular contact. One could then create a view with the last action and timestamp for a task. This is a great high level overview of where you left off on a task without going through lengthy notes. for example "05/01/2016 4:15pm - requested status update", or 05/16/2016 08:00a - Hardware arrived and will be racked by EOW". Your notes can then be used to elaborate if needed"

    For work I have to use the company's task manager. I can import tasks if they are in .csv format so I would also be able to see my MLO tasks. Having to reference two task lists during the day is counterproductive so this would be a much appreciated feature.

17. IsNextAction() needs to be added to Advanced filter

    In order to show both the Next Action for each project and tasks that are not part of projects we need IsNextAction to be added to the Advanced filter functions.

    This is mentioned by Dwight in this thread.
    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mylifeorganized/5SQ36qIFmbA

    Also, as far as I can tell, the lack of an IsNextAction() in the Advanced filter also means that I am unable to create any view that has more than one Next Action to be "forced forward" by using a special Flag (or special context) for the purpose.

18. Add the ability to assign tasks to team members
