More feedback questions and Feature Requests (RC2)

Hello,

 

I am starting to use Chandler to manage task lists. I am in the middle of reading Getting Things
Done so I created a Someday/Later collection and started adding tasks. This prompts the following
feature request:

 

I would be nice if you could define the default triage status for a collection. I would then be able
to set the default status t later for a Someday/Later collection.

 

Also, I still have not figured out how to move items from one collection to another in one step.
What I currently do is drag and drop the item which creates a copy. If you want the default drag to
be a copy how about a key combination to do a move? In the Someday/Later scenario I wanted to move a
task from S/L into home as it turned into a definite task.

 

Another one. How do most people use collections and the color coding? I can imagine more collections
than colors. Do people use colors to categorize collections?

 

Perhaps I would like to change the order of collections.

 

I really want a date picker on the event and alarm details

 

I do not like the recurring event change question every time I change an element of a recurring
event when I am setting it up. I know it becomes necessary because there is no save changes button
but I end up having to confirm 3 times just to set up an alarm (once for the alarm, once for the
number, once for the minutes/hours/days selection) . There should be a way to indicate my intention
to change the individual event or the set. Also, how about indicating on the calendar that the event
is a recurring event?

 

I might want some finer control of dashboard inclusion/exclusion. How about enabling items to be
excluded from the dashboard? This comes back to how many collections are needed. If dashboard
inclusion/exclusion is only available at collection level then you might end up creating collections
for bad reasons.

 

Enable longer snoozing on alarms.

 

I would like to select text in the notes field of items and stamp them (as tasks, notes, events or
messages)

 

Thanks, Robin
