feature request: easier way to proccess inbox / move stuff arround

[PetrH]

Hello, quite few posts and discussions in them show that easily moving
stuff arround is a problem e.g.

I know we have ctrl + m and newly introduced folders (which help a lot
in orientation!)

but still, everytime I try to come back to MLO and use it, I find
sorting and moving tasks difficult, because in the outline (and ctrl+m
window)
parrents get expanded, which makes the whole thing (outline) have tens
of items and you cant easily navigate.

I quite like the old Idea of two sme MLO files, or just one extra
outline, which would let only parrents expand, so you could drag +
drop easily.
Someting like I described in
http://groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/browse_thread/thread/8e09d11f39a5446b/d5601a03247af77a?lnk=gst&q=outline+top#d5601a03247af77a

folders on the left side are just containers (which could have
children). You are not able to see any items from the right pane in
the left.

If you guys have any ideas how to do this in accordance to MLO
philosophy and our convinicence, please share:-)

+1 for this problem. I prefer a visually-oriented to-do list but the
problem is that they don't usually scale well.

If you could apply a filter to the Move window, then everyone could do
it the way they like. It would also be great if it had a Find in it.
Basically, it would be great if the Move window were just another
instantiation of the Outline window, but perhaps a different color so
you know you're in Move mode.


USE CASE:
You go into your inbox and try to assign a task in there to a project,
only you love MLO so much that EVERYTHING is in it including 5
current, 20 Someday and 150 Maybe Do projects.

You simply cannot use the MOVE option as it currently is.
