1. Input parsing for tasks sent via email

   MLO already has input parsing for task added via Rapid task entry dialog. It would be great if just the same was applied to tasks added via email.

2. 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?

   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.

3. several profiles for wifi sync

   I use wifi sync in the office and in the home on my Android phone. Currently I need to recreate the wifi sync each time I change location. If there were several profiles for connection with each location, that would save some time.

4. Setting complete status (in percent) for tasks

   If you add some tiny tasks for a week - for example you add some site to directories and you want to do it a few times a week it would be nice if complete status for this task could be manually set in percent. Now complete status is available only for projects and for tiny tasks it would take too much time creating project and subtasks comparing to time you need to spend on task completing.

5. Provide a Tasker or Locale plug-in for MLO on Android

   I'm a refugee from Astrid and I'm seaching for the best replacement app. MLO has a great look and feel but there is a built-in dealbreaker.

   MLO does not make use of the most widely used Android app for location based triggers - Tasker and Locale. Instead it uses a home-brewn replacement.

   For a Locale/Tasker user this means to maintain the locations on two places. Which is, at least, uncomfortable and at worst a real pain in the ass.

   I'm using Locale not only for showing tasks related to specific locations, but for many other things to, like changing the lockscreen to secured by PIN when leaving my home, starting the Grocery-app when reaching the Grocery or setting the phone to silent at the cinema.

   I have about two dozen rulesets in Locale so you can imagine what a PITA it is to have to do these configuration twice.

   Missing interoperability with Tasker and Locale is an serious point against MLO, and I think many ex-Astrid users would be happy to have an MLO Tasker/Locale plug-in.

6. Free data fields

   Did you think about the possibility to integrate a small database in MLO for example for adress data or personal datas which are connected to a task and can be can exported to a list.

   For example you create a new task. Than you have the chance to integrate serveral fields with informations. These informations are stored in a database which an exported for example to excel.

   If someone has got a solution which exists today please let me know.

   Best regards

9. Allow drag/drop of text into outline

   Add support for drag/dropping text into the MLO outline.

   Currently the user can select text in WordPad (or in notes in MLO) and drag it to the MLO outline. MLO even shows a blue line where it will be dropped, but when they release/drop it nothing happens.

   This would be a super handy feature for quickly moving text to/from MLO from notes (in TextPad, Word, etc). I personally use drag/drop to reorganize my Word document all the time.

13. Android : Expanding recurring options like windows version

    Android recurrence options are now just everyday,everyweek,2 weeks,every month,every year. I know we can set the more options in the windows version and sync with android. But it is very cumbersome. Especially when we want to modify the prior recur option we have to turn on the computer and set in windows version only. In wm version, we can set various recurring patterns just like windows version.(e.g every 2 days etc) Andorid version also need to be supplemented in recurrence options. I hope we can set the recurrence freely in next android version. Thank you!

14. Android: allow dates to be selected from a 'month-at-time' mini-calendar

    Please, when selecting dates (reminders, due dates etc) can we have a mini-calendar view in MLO Android, showing the Weekdays and dates for the current month. It could have scroll buttons to jump from month to month, or even to change year, and the ability to select a date by pressing on that day in the calendar view. Maybe it could even have a 'today' button?

    Here's why:

    Currently when I set a date on my Android phone, I get a box with JUST the month, the day (in numbers only; the weekday only shows, above, for the currently selected date) and the year.

    I have to EDIT this date by overtyping a different date and/or using the '+/- scroll' buttons separately for each element of the date.

    If I '+' my way to the end of a month and keep going, it doesn't automatically change to the next month. It just cycles back to 1st, 2nd, etc. And I have to '+' repeatedly to move days and weeks ahead. There's no ability to 'jump' to a future date quickly (except overtyping numbers).

    Now, on my Windows version of MLO (and in many other s/w packages), as well as editing the date/time, I can display a drop down 'month-at-a-time' calendar and see both 'today' and the date I have tentatively selected highlighted in a visual way.

    (In fact, I've just explored the Windows MLO functionality and it's even better than I thought. If you click on the year at the top of the calendar, it zooms out to 'decade-view', and if you click on the decade, it zooms out to 'multiple-decades' view. You can zoom your way back in 20 years ahead if you so wish, by clicking! Cool!)

    Back to Android: I (and many others) process things pretty visually, which means that without this calendar view on Android, I always have to stop and think:

    is that today's date I'm seeing in front of me?

    what IS today's date?

    what Weekday are we today?

    hmmm.. if I want to set next Tuesday's date, what will the date (in numbers) be THEN?

    In fact, usually, I have to refer to my calendar on Outlook to be able to 'see' what my required date is. Then I have to overtype or laboriously '+' my way to it.

    A mini-calendar view for selecting dates in MLO Android would make the process potentially faster for all, and much easier for the many 'visually-oriented' users.

    Thank you.

15. Change "Hide branch in todo" to "Hide children in todo"

    Give the user an option to hide task's children in todo while keeping the parent task visible in todo.

    This is helpful for keeping the main task (e.g. Call Charlie) visible while constructing the "agenda" in invisible subtasks (e.g. Confirm date, Discuss idea X, etc.)

    Hiding the complete branch would be achieved with a combination of Folder+Hide children.

17. Support multiple windows on the same data with full functionality

    Currently the workspace "new windows" are very limited in scope. I would suggest adding support for full windows. So they would support:
    - all hot keys
    - menu items
    - filter pane
    - detail pane

19. User-Defined Custom Clickable Links in Notes Field

    Currently some strings in a Notes field are automatically recognized and made clickable (eg, a web address is converted to a clickable hyperlink). Other strings require being prepended with "file:" in order to turn them into a hyperlink. A common example is local links to specific Evernote Notes, which have the format of "evernote:///view/......". Another example is Thunderlink: "thunderlink://messageid=......".

    I propose that MLO for Desktop, and also for Android (and iPhone), add the ability for users to define strings (or protocols) to be matched in the Notes field and then treated as hyperlinks. Additionally it would probably be good to have the ability to define which program (or app, on mobile devices) the link should be sent to. On Windows if a protocol is properly registered then this second option should not need additional configuration. But I can imagine there might be situations where a user would need to customize this.

    The mobile component for this is probably more tricky in it's execution, as the desired app (eg, Evernote) might not have a method for receiving a call (or pointer) to a specific note, file, etc. But if an app does have some method, then at least the user could define that in MLO mobile. And at a minimum the user could set the string to just open the desired app, even if there's no exposed method (by that app) for then going to a specific place in that app. Thus the same string in a Notes field could be interpreted differently on each platform.

    Thanks for considering my idea!
    :)

    PS-For those that are interested, Thunderlink is a fantastic Thunderbird extension that allows you to create a link to a specific email. This then allows you to create a Task in MLO that contains a link to an email in Thunderbird. Just be sure to prepend "file:" in order for MLO to recognize it as a link (ie, "file:thunderlink://messageid=....."). Thunderlink has the ability to make the created link contain the "file:" already prepended, so then you just have to paste the string into your Rapid Task Entry box for MLO. Here's info on Thunderlink:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/thunderlink/
    https://github.com/poohsen/thunderlink

    Also, here's a few UserVoice threads related to wanting more control over making clickable strings/protocols in the Notes field:
    https://mlo.uservoice.com/forums/9235-general/suggestions/3971724-support-link-to-thebrain-from-notes-field
