Hi All,
I tend toward using the visual look of a calendar for my day to day tracking of what I should be doing.  I use the MLO integration with Google Calendar, but that is more for appointments and not tasks.  Google Calendar can show Google Tasks on the right side and I have started putting selected (simple, usually non-project) tasks for the day there.  It would be great if I could somehow select the tasks in MLO and move them to Google Tasks automatically, or in a batch.. 
Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be done relatively efficiently?  
Thanks
Grant

Hi,

I totally agree with the need. Probably another solution would be for MLO to provide a calendar view. I don’t think it’s available in desktop version as far as I know right?


Thank you!

@All I like Grant and Patricia use my calendar time for appointments. I really would like a MLO calendar view. I suspect I asked for it years and years ago.

Funny I'm doing the +1 thing that I complained about on the forum along time ago.

Cheers
Mark

Thanks for your support Mark and Patricio.

You both have indicated you would like a Calendar view.  This does exists, and is part of what I use.  See: https://www.mylifeorganized.net/support/sync-with-google-calendar/

To be clear, I was asking for a Google Tasks integration, so I can see selected MLO tasks in Google Tasks next to Google Calendar.

Cheers,

Grant

I answered my own question:

Simply select multiple tasks, then use Advanced Copy as Text (using the defaults), then click on 'create new task' in Google Tasks, and then paste into that new task.  Google Tasks the creates separate tasks for each one.   This nice paste feature is not documented as far as I know...

Cheers,

Grant
