Problems in v 2.5.1‏

[gadgety]

Hi Andrey,

I sent this in to the MLO Support on March 31, and then again
yesterday. I understand you are busy with new developments, and I
still need your assistance, urgently.

I've got problems with version 2.5.1 of MLO. The following takes
place.

Problem 1: I have added various @ contexts to two entries. One of the
contexts is @Today. However the entries do not show up there.

Problem 2: I proceeded to search for them and depending on the view
I'm using of the Outline, they do or not show up.

a) When I structure the Outline per View All Items, Hide Completed
Tasks, and search through the search function the software gives me
the following error message "Task not found in the current outline
view. Show all tasks in outline and try to find the task again?" It's
as if the task had been accomplished and crossed off, which is not the
case.

b) When I structure the Outline per View by Created, Hide Completed
Tasks, and seach, the software immediately identifies that task. So I
can find them, but they do not show up in the @Today, which they
should.

I have only allocated contexts. I do not have these tasks as Goals,
nor crossed out for "complete subtasks in order", there are no timings
or reminders, no recurrence. I have as a standard the crossed out Task
To-Do Visibility as Show Task in To-Do normally.

Please advice.

I have duplicated your results, but I am not sure it is the same issue
that is causing your problem.

I created a parent task, "Test". I created a subtask under that task
called "subtest". I next completed the parent task "Test".

When I search for "subtest" in the Outline per View All Items, Hide

Completed Tasks, and search through the search function the software

gives me the same error message "Task not found in the current outline
view. Show all tasks in outline and try to find the task again".
However, regardless of the dialog box error message, "subtest" does
how up in the search task pane.

This result makes sense to me. Even though "subtest" is not marked
completed, its parent "Test" is, and the Outline per View All Items is
a hierarchical view.

Now if I switch to the Outline per view by Created, Hide Completed
Tasks, and search, the software immediately identifies that task. This
also makes sense to me as the Created view is not a hierarchical view;
it has been "flattened" and the "subtest" task no longer shows up
under the completed parent task of "Test".

This would also explain why "subtest" does not show up in the To-Do
view as its parent has been completed.

If your parent task has not been completed, then I still would check
other properties of parents, grandparents, or other ancestors as the
properties of these tasks can affect the visibility of a specific task
in the To-Do view.

For the To-Do view, you did not specify the Action Filter or the View
you are using. If you are using the default Active Action Filter and
the Active Actions view, please state that as it will help in further
diagnosing your issue.

Thank you Ron!

Yes this was indeed the problem. For some reason I had a whole string
of subtasks that were unrelated to the main task. I must have entered
them like that by mistake.

As Andrey had replied by mail, I did not look for answers here which
is why I hadn't seen your reply earlier.

Thanks again!
