May I ask whether it is possible to add the function for entry a task with a window and an OK button???

I use some tabs on my desktop MLO program and all tabs has is own filters (eg. @home, @work,...)

If I now try to add a new task in such a tab then I create the new task and just try to set the context or something else and already the task disapear and I have to search the task in the tab "all Tasks", then I edid the task properties and while changing something or just trying it the task disapear again and I have to search it in my tabs again. 
Oh man, how anoying is this!!!!
Why isn't it possible to add an task just by opening an window edit all properties and the press an OK button to add this task with all properties set?

You'r right, it's annoying.
If I understant you correctly, what you want is being able to enter a task and edit its properties before it disappears (due to properties not YET corresponding to the  displayed view).
I agree with you.
It would be better that we can edit the properties, and then only, MLO "decides" wether the task has to be displayed or not (ie until we stop focus on the task).

Here's my tip....

I added the following line to all of my advanced views: 

CreatedDateTime after now-0.001 OR

Then continue on with the rest of the advanced filter settings

This will leave all tasks in your current view for a few minutes so you can edit before they disappear.

I find this annoying too but there's a simple workaround.  After the task 'dissapears' simply hit the 'back' button in MLO and it will return to that task.  If it's not in the view you're using (which it won't be) MLO will simply switch to the All Tasks view and show it to you there.  Works like a charm and requires no changes to existing views.
