GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 228873
Improvements for Tasks summary
Last modified: 2013-09-13 12:34:34 UTC
Task should be showed in the order they are sorted in the task editor. Not in last-modified-on-top It should at least be an option. Tasks with an expiration date should go bold on the expiration date. It's not even bold/red in the summary after the expiration date has expired. Summary should use color-coding specified in tasks-settings
Most of this has been done in CVS HEAD
I installed OutlookXP on a friends computer (yes I know but... :) Then I noticed that the layout of the Summary is MUCH better there than it is in Evolution. Evolution prioritises Wheather and Links, pushing the Meetings and such away to the side. Even if I dont want to show any links or Wheather there's still a "My Wheather" icon and text in the Summary and a WHOLE LOT of whitespace. In OutlookXP the Meetings are showed like this --------------------------------------- Meetings for September, week X Monday 18:30 - Meeting with parents, (at home) 20:00 - Watch Friends, (TV) Tuesday 16:00 - Coffe with Sandra, (inner City) Thursday 21:00 - Watch X-Files, (TV) -------------------------------------- Depending on what view you choose the Tasks and E-mail folders appeared on different places, but mostly where they are now in Evo. -------------------------------------- This gives a greater overview of what I have to do this week (number of days forward is ofcourse selectable. I'd like for both the Calender and Summary to print out the Location of the meeting so I don't have to open the meeting to know where I should go.. Tasks is done much like in Evo but a ! is put before tasks that have High priority (personaly I think these should be sorted to the top too. This layout should atleast be an option, since I rarely use the Links section, The Link section could even fit in a third column in the middle. --- Things that should improve --- As for colorcoding weekends etc. use the settings where you select which days are a weekday. Preferably a selectable color too. Days with only Fulldaytasks should be shown in another color in the Calender overview. Ability to specify Places and then select them from a dropdown list. Preferably be able to colorcode them too. Look at Apples MacOSX calender. In the Month-view of the calender the Weekends should be colorcoded in another color (soft red). Days with Fullday event's should also have a different color. (soft green) Same goes for the Week-view. The Tasks summary should of course colorcode in priority fashion and sort thereafter too. IIRC there's a bugzilla entry on this.
For future reference, please file a single report per request
Should I splitt these up or just leave it?
It would be really nice from you if you can split your requests, and maybe then create dependencies to this report.
Ok, I've split these "bugs" up now and added some thougths to some of them. Hope this makes your jobs easier.
Thanks very much. Now reassingning...
