Re: Re: Shadow and the Palm desktop in Vista

Right now Pimlical handles Tasks as a special kind of floating appointment. This makes it complicated to create, manage, and even check off Tasks as done in Pimlical. CESD is talking about creating a separate Tasks section in a future version of Pimlical. But given all that you can do with tasks in Shadow, what would be really cool is if you guys could get together and develop a way for a unified split screen view that could show a tasks list in Shadow on top of the Pimlical calendar in the single day and multi-day displays of Pimlical. Probably not something that can happen (Pimlical is a java engine), but one can dream of having the best of both worlds. Of course I could create this in a way by arranging Shadow over Pimilical on my UX screen, but they would not operate together when chan
 ging displays, and I would not be able to link tasks to either appointments or addresses (which are in the Palm desktop in this version of Pimlical). Second best would
 be if I could export between the two so that I could create tasks in Shadow, export them to Pimlical and then when I check them off in either app the are also checked off in the other.

It would be wicked (cool) if you two could get something going there.

DateBk has never focused much on handling ToDo organization,
especially the way Shadow does.  I kind of doubt he has any real plans
to move into that area.  But I guess now would be the time to find out!
