Hi pangel

Apologies for the delay in responding...having to do the day job!

OK, in terms of your questions above:

- is it like that for both settings dialogs? YES

- what is it like in the main items list? THE SAME AS THE SETTINGS DIALOG

- what device and ROM are we talking about? TD2 with bulk standard HTC ROM (as shipped with the device)

Now have updated to 0.79901 using the built in updater...observation is that it would be good to get some indication of the progress of the download, if that is possible, as once can wait a while depending on the speed of ones connection...and at one point I was wondering if the download had failed (but it completed successfully).

In terms of what is fixed re. the points I raised previously:

1. If I try to SAVE a new task where the Start Date is the SAME as the Due date I am prevented from doing so and a message is issued: 'Start date cannot be greater than the due date'. CONFIRMED FIXED

2. If I set a Reminder for a Task which I created today (12/01/10) the default notification date suggested by pTasks is 08/12/09...I would have assumed that the date should be at least the same as the Due date but certainly not earlier. CONFIRMED FIXED

3. When I try to enter a Notification time I can only enter single digits in the HH, MM & SS fields, ie, if I want to enter 8pm I would assume that I should enter 20 but all i can enter is 2 (which gives 02) or 0 (which gives 00). I cannot find a setting that controls whether the application uses 24hr clock or am/pm mode...or is that based on the device general setting? PARTIAL FIX IMHO.

Let me elaborate:

When I try to enter a Notification time I can now get '20' in the HH field to indicate 8pm (the MM & SS fields allow similar entries...yet to check the 01-59 range validation for both fields ;o) ) but it is the manner in which this has to entered that is strange. To get '20' in the HH field I have first to enter 2 on the keypad and that immediately displays the notification time as 02:00:00 (ie, I am not able to enter the desired '0' following the '2'), and THEN if I try to enter '20' again in the same field I can this time enter '2' immediately followed by '0', ie, the notification time represents as 20:00:00 and I am NOT returned to a notification time displaying 02:00:00 as before.

Ergo why I am saying that it is partially fixed.

Finally, for the moment, a suggestion for you:

I had some trouble working out how to delete COMPLETED tasks as I was filtering using 'Dated Tasks' and so when I selected Delete I was not getting the tasks that I wanted to delete...I had to switch to a select mode of 'All' and then I can pick them. Given that in most cases what I want to delete is the completed tasks only, ie, to make space, etc., may I suggest that against the Delete option you offer a further selection of 'Completed' and 'As Filtered'...in the case of the first option only completed tasks are shown in the list for selection and in the case of the second option it displays all tasks that fit the currently active filter (as the function currently does). I think that this would add to the functionality and prove a boon to the user.

Well, apologies for the length of the post...hope it is of use. I am now off to play more with the new version.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Balders :D
