Hi all,
a happy new year to everyone :)
I am using MLO for Windows now for over 5 years. It's great product - maybe THE most essential tool on my laptop in order to get and stay productive. Having a busy business- as well as very active private life, MLO is a great partner in helping me out.
Over the previous two weeks I - once again - fine-tuned my MLO setup as well as did the switch over to MLOv2 for Android.
Also that new mobile version is great, it feels very mature, feature-rich and stable.
I will give you a short glance on a part of my MLO setup in order to explain the error(?) that I encountered today.
On MLO-Windows I have a view that generates a flat ToDo-List as follows:
Show Actions: ALL
Show Hierarchy: No
Show Completed: No
Start Date: from (empty) to NOW
Advanced filter:
Importance>=100 AND
Caption does not start with '[Backlog]:' AND
not(HasIncompleteDependency) AND
(not(HasIncompleteSubtasks) OR (Caption starts with '!'))
Sort:
Starred DESC
Importance DESC
Created Date DESC
Little explanation on the advanced filter: I want to remove everything from the flat ToDo-List that is complete, that starts later than NOW, that has an Importance<100 (as these are my sometime/anytime entries appearing on a different list), every "Backlog" that I have, everything that depends on something else to be completed first and everything that has child-entries that have not been completed yet except for the special case that the actual parent entry starts with a "!" (in that case the entry is shown even if it has incomplete subtasks).
On MLOv2 Android I tried to replicate this view - same action filter, same sorting, the advanced filter is:
Complete is false AND
StartDateTime On or before Now AND
Importance Greater or equal 100 AND
Title does not start with '[Backlog]: AND
HasIncompleteDependency is false AND
(or)Group: HasIncompleteSubtasks is false OR Title starts with "!"
With this configuration I expected the same flat ToDo-List as on Windows Desktop but I encountered that on Android NOT all with "incompleted Subtasks" are removed from the list but all with "Subtasks" (in general) are being removed, no matter whether the subtask has already completed been completed or not.
Can someone try out that configuration on his/her MLO system to check whether he/she gets the same result? Maybe I am doing something wrong here but even a change from "HasIncompleteSubtasks" to "hasSubtasks" did not change anything to the result of the view.
A bug? My mistake?
Thanks in advance and kind regards.
