Suggestion: "Start" column in reminders... and 'event' time and date in general...

[Grant]

I depend on MLO for creating all my events in google calendar, and for pop-up reminders.

Some issues I have run into with suggested solutions:

1. The reminders window does not include the start time of an Event (taks), but only the Due date.  I need to know how many hours until the start, not the end of an event (and many tasks too.

SOLUTION: add a Start column, or better yet, allow full configuration of the columns in the reminders pop-up.

2. General Auto prioritization focus of MLO.  While its good to have the possibility of having MLO decide what I should work on next,  I think many, if not most, users manage this themselves, or manage it themselves in groups, and use auto prioritization to prioritize a group.  Overall, I mean that MLO does not address Events very well:

• default reminders is for when a task is due - when I think most would need to know when to start a task
• reminders windows does not show Start time
• lead time is due biased, in that you have to figure out when an Event ends, rather than starts, and then enter a lead time... when usually you always know the tiime a event starts, and only vaguely the actual time it ends, but have to now make the unnecessary (small) effort to figure that all out backwards
• The odd thing is that repeating tasks force you to have a start time... which makes that kind of event oriented, which is also annoying, since many tasks do not have a start time, and it can mess up or complicate your Sort configuration. 

Solution (?):  offer an option to have MLO Start or Due oriented.  I suspect this would be very complicated, but hope I am wrong.  If I am wrong, maybe some people brigher than I can come up with some changes that might work for a better MLO.

Naturally, I can work around all these things, but since they bug me a bit, they might bug  more (potential) users and so they are worth considering... ;-)
