Comments on: Sunbird 0.8 Released http://www.rumblingedge.com/2007/11/09/sunbird-08-released/ Tracking developments in Mozilla Thunderbird builds Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:36:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: jmc http://www.rumblingedge.com/2007/11/09/sunbird-08-released/comment-page-1/#comment-1385 jmc Wed, 07 May 2008 22:12:15 +0000 http://www.rumblingedge.com/?p=865#comment-1385 Just wondering if there would be any way of associating events with tasks in Sunbird, taking the "convert to event" function further. Removing a task could then remove all it's events, or if I was to offset that task's start date then the events could also offset also. etc. Just wondering if there would be any way of associating events with tasks in Sunbird, taking the “convert to event” function further.

I use the task events to make daily notes of the things I did each day. My task events sometimes include the time I spent on these tasks. I wish that when I print a monthly calendar that I could choose whether or not to include a printout of these tasks in the calendar (completed and in-progress). The equivalent of a PRT-SCR would be fine. This would provide a needed monthly record and an index into the calendar.

Having them surrounded was more visually appealing and easier to process. I also hate the new use of color. Having them surrounded was more visually appealing and easier to process.

You know what would be a nice feature to add would be the ability to have days from the past marked off -- graphically / stylized X or line through the date. Really cool.

I hope that some day VJOURNAL will be added. Why? because the only thing left to completely remove paper from my office is an electronic place to jot down my daily notes. Having a way to search through them and the ability to insert graphics, links and contact links would greatly aid my ability to manage my data. Seeing them as unique journal entries in my calendar would make them easier to find and manage. I was hoping that the Mozilla Journal project would start back up, but its dead for now. Great job!

That would be something I would love to see implemented.

Having tasks/events surrounded by color was SO much easier to use. The new "tab-like" thing is very visually confusing. If you think about it from a cognitive science perspective, you've just made each event a more perceptually complex object and therefore it takes more effort to process. I HATE the new use of color.
