Hi all! It's a cool soft, much better analogues, but... It is uncomfortable to me that Computed-Score Priority makes a higher priority task without due date than with a due date in the future. Please add the user to choose which due date is a higher priority than the task with no due date (in a week, 5 days, month and so on).

If I took the time to specify the due date of the task, it is for me more important, and I think, not only to me. Thanks!

Hello, Andrey!

Check Tools - Options - To Do Ordering options. There you can specify weights.

Unfortunately, this influences only the "DateScoreContribution" for
tasks with start or due date. You can't change the DateScoreContribution
for tasks without due dates, it's always zero.
It would make more sense to make the DateScoreContribution for such
tasks smaller than the minimal DateScoreContribution for all tasks with
due date.

In easier terms, the problem is that MLO treats tasks with no due date
the same as tasks that are due today. This is simply wrong and in my
view one of the most annoying design flaws that foils the whole nice
idea behind the computed score ordering.

I've already pointed this out one year ago:

A similar problem exists for start dates.
