Is there any update on the Windows Version. When can we expect the updated GUI. I love mylifeorganized but the GUI is very dated!

The new version of MLO-Windows with the updated UI is on its way. We are going to release it to beta testers until the end of this year.

Can we get a list of features for the new version?   I'm particulalry interested in calendar integration and more reminder options (i.e. ability to set a default reminder for all tasks with a due date.)

Thank you,

Bill

I expect the answer to that is going to be "not yet". MLO don't like to announce features until they're sure they've got them tested and working and they know they can deliver them.

Why isn't the GUI ok? I'm working now many months with MLO, my idea is that the software is very well designed including the GUI.
Do you know what will be the new features?

I agree, please, don't change the GUI, rather ad new features.

Aesthetically, MLO looks dated. It's highly functional and I'm okay with it but if Andrey is looking to draw more users to MLO, a lot of people are going to care about aesthetics. 

Personally, IMO, the only thing about the UI I would like different is being able to share MLO with at l east one other app on my desktop at the same time by snapping MLO to one side of the desktop while working out of another app on the other side.  At present, I can't efficiently do this. However, not sure it could be done so not something I'd sacrifice for features.

This snapping-to-the-side functionality, if I am correctly understanding your requirement, is pretty much standard in Win10

Have you tried WINDOWS+LEFTARROW on windows 10? I snap it to the side all the time, Joel.

Re your other issue I'd like to see appointments mixed with tasks, per time. Plus the option to have them so mixed or not.

I know can snap MLO to the side. I do this all the time with all my apps as this is a Windows 10 feature. Because I have quite a few columns showing though in MLO, they all get smushed together when I snap it to the side and I can't see all of htem. What I'm saying is that it would be great if there was some way to snap MLO to the side and yet see everything I need to see. I'm not sure that would be possible because all of that information lies within separate columns. I was just saying it would be nice. I've trialed web apps like GQueues and Todoist which snap to the side perfectly without smashing everything together yet, at the same time, they don't include as much helpful information as MLO does which makes MLO great so I realize what I would like to see may not be possible. I was just commenting that it would be great if it were.

Hmmm. One way to do that would be a line wrap option, where each column would retain its width and if there is not enough room to display all the columns the display would wrap. So for example if you have a dozen columns displayed and you snap to half width, you would get half as many tasks displayed  and each task would occupy two lines assuming no sidebars. Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, line wrap would help with that. Andrey has already implemented that in the Android version. That's a good idea.

What I am trying to describe would be a little different from what's on Android. The Android display has a fixed set of fields that are displayed in a fixed order. You have some options to include or exclude certain fields but you have no option to add other fields, for example Importance, as you do on Windows. Also, if you change the size of the window (eg switching from portrait to landscape) the arrangement of the fields does not change, the only result is more blank space in the middle, unless you have a single field (eg caption) that wraps to multiple lines. Or, if you switch to a pop-up window (might be Samsung only) the layout remains unchanged but the font shrinks. What I am describing would allow you to display or exclude fields exactly as you do now on Windows. If you have a single-line display of your current view at that time it would switch to a two or three line display as may be needed to view all of the fields. Same font size, the displayed fields and the order of their display are exactly what you set up for the selected view, the nuber of lined needed equals the total space needed to display a full line divided by the available space.

Yes, I have tried the ALT+F1 and ALT+F2 and technically it works but it just doesn't look good with ten columns active. There's just no way to make MLO in its current form look good and work efficiently without the task column being cut off. The word wrap would help but the task column would still look odd. I believe that's the trade-off with MLO. A lot of people out there love the aesthetics like Todoist, GQueues and other web apps out there but you can't do as much with them as you can with MLO so at the end of the day, if I had to choose between the two, I will choose the features that come with MLO over being able to work with MLO and another app at the same time. I was just saying that it would be nice to be able to, is all.

Honestly, there is little I need changed. I hope we are aware of details before they are implemented. I've used the Windows and Android version for years and am quite happy.
