Still Good but not perfect

So there is no improvement to the items I note below in the latest version. The biggest thing that keeps this from becoming a real useful program to me is the inability to pull information from Exchange into it. Our company has an automated process that puts todo items into Exchange. I cannot pull them out and put them into 2Do.

My normal workflow is to look over everything on my list and then decide what gets done for that day. It is more of along the lines of pick the thing that has to get done, pick a couple of things that would be important to do, and pick a few things that it would be nice to get done/make progress on. Because of this, sorting and such are important. The program lets you sort by time and has the “smart lists” and such, which help a lot. I usually use the “starred” list for things that I’m going to do that day. You can manually drag things up and down to sort the starred items, so that works extremely well for me. There seems to be sufficient properties, tags and whatever to let me track status of in-process things, when I’m waiting for others and such.

What doesn’t work so well (or at least I haven’t found out how to do) are the following:
1. I can’t manually drag the sub-tasks of a project up and down to sort them. This is a problem for me as I usually enter things as they occurr or as they come up when I use the project aspect. If you enter dates, it will sort the sub-tasks, but I haven’t figured out to sort them manually. What I want to do is have the normal sort by due date for subtasks, but for things that don’t have a date entered, drag them around manually (e.g., within the “no due date” portion of the list. I can turn the project to full manual sort, but then I have to make sure I note the due dates of the sub-tasks and I’m sure I’d miss something.

2. The biggest problem is that it is a somewhat isolated system and cannot sync tasks with very many other task systems, which I really need for maximum utility.

Wish it had the ability to enter time against a project/task and print reports. You can use the notes field and such, but still, tracking time against tasks/projects would be the cat’s meow.

Over all this is a great to-do manager for me.
