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.

   The reminder is regenerated on recurrent task completion.

5. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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

10. Toolbar

    I would love a toolbar with icons for commonly-used menu items -- so I can simply click the button rather than drill down through the menu options (e.g. save, undo, redo).
    Maybe this request has been posted already, but I couldn't find it...

12. Allow completed tasks to be archived after 1 day

    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.

    Would be great to have some options to sync automatically with the MLO cloud account.
    1.) Sync when starting the program, so you must not remember by yourself and you are sure to have the newest data
    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. Forecast = Filter all tasks (including inactive) and sort by date on iOS

    I want to look ahead for annual tasks and due dates that are coming up in the next 3 months. In my case I have marked these with a context indicating they are task that need to be listed on a planning horizon.

    Currently:
    If I use "All Tasks" - it only presents in outline mode.

    If I use Active Actions - it does not include any tasks that are not active (todo button in All Tasks just switches to "active actions")

    If I use "Goals" on these items, I cannot sort by date order.

    Even if I could just have an "All Tasks" view that was not heirarchical, it would be a start.

    Would be even nicer if I could set how long to look into the future - 1 month, 3 months.

    Other products have this valuable functionality built in.
