    Calendar view of Tasks: how will you use it?

    @Frank Ververthanks for this detailed and thoughtful list! For #2, you should be able to put any kind of link into a task. Is that not working for you?

    Thx for your response @Jack Lynch . Embedding an email link into Task is not working for me. I can successfully drag the email from the MAC Mail App as a hyperlink into a Evernote Note, however when I do the same into a Task it converts the email into text - as can be seen in the screen shot attached.  In addition, I can successfully drag a webpage URL into a Tasks - also included in screen shot below. 

    Is there a different approach to embedding the MAC Mail App email as a link into a Task other than dragging it from the MAC Mail App?

    I have tried EN tasks and do like the look and feel, and certainly can see its potential. However, its current limited integration with other apps means I have stepped away for now for my day to day tasks. Please see below for my thoughts on what would make EN tasks more useful.

    1. EN Task requires two-way synchronisation to external Calendar App (iCal and Google):

    • if a Due Date and Time is allocated in the EN Task, then in the calendar app it should be created as as a "calendar event" reflecting the Due Date and Time (with a default time of perhaps 30mins, but this should be configurable in EN)
    • if a Due Date and no time is allocated in the EN Task, then in the calendar app it should be created as a "reminder/task" for the Due Date
    • if there are multiple "reminder times" allocated in the EN Task, then these should be carried through the synchronisation
    • once synced into the calendar app, if the reminder/task needs to become an "Event", then the reminder/task (in the calendar app) should be able to be dragged into the calendar to create a "Calendar event" with synchronisation/update back to EN to reflect the change - ie two way synchronisation 
    • similarly, any changes in EN or Calendar App should be appropriately reflected in both apps (EN and Calendar app) - that is, create, delete, update, modify text, embedded links, etc

    2. There needs to be the ability to embed an email link into EN Task - I use this a lot to either remind me to respond to an email or set aside time to work on the email subject. This can currently be done in an EN Note so I am surprised it is not available in EN Tasks.

    3. It would be very helpful to be able create a recurring task / event in EN Tasks - as per above, this should be able to synced to a Calendar App, with a two way synchronisation capability to create, delete, modify, etc in either EN or the Calendar App.
