To sum up, my concern with current MLO behavior is: - Locking the defaults protects the workspace completely, including it's filters (that's good). - Unlocking the defaults enables me to change filters however I cannot return to the defined defaults as MLO doesn't recognize changing filter as a modification of the default. - As far as I don't change a view for a workspace I cannot set another default neither - even if I changed the view dramatically using filters, the MLO doesn't recognize it as anything that can be a new default and the "set default for a tab" option is greyed out. - If by accident I break my tab setup and want to undo the changes the only way is to reset the view - but that wipes all the additional filters and I have to setup the tab from scratch.
In my opinion the help file describes the behavior as it should be coded as it is very simple and logical approach: 1. I start with the views that are defined by their filters. 2. Then I create additional workspaces by finetuning the views (with, for example, additional parent filters) and the tabs remember the additional settings I defined - including filters. 3. If I am content with a tab I defined I can save it's default configuration so when I am lost with changes I can always return to the default as I defined it. That way tab defaults serve important and useful role - I can look at different aspects of my outline using one set of views with additional settings/filters remembered by tabs/workspaces and my configuration is, in a way, protected because I saved the defaults. If a defaults for a tab don't include the view's filter then every time I change anything - like number of days to show completed tasks or the contexts included (just to check something) - I have to undo the changes manually which is boring and troublesome. And resetting the view wipes the filters (for example the parent filter) completely, so I have to setup the tab from scratch. To put it in another way, for me: - the whole strength of tabs is that I can define additional filters for already defined views and the tab remembers that filter - so when I want to see only my work tasks I don't have to set parent filter for a view again and again, - the whole strength of tab defaults would be that reverting to the default I can see the tab as I defined it - including the filters. -- Pawel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
