Using ":" in the project naming
I need clarification on using ":" sign. I want to have a project that would be named "Microsoft: install server software". When I put that project name in the project field and press "command+enter" to create it, everything before the ":" sign disappears! As a result I get "install server software" instead of the original project name.
Please help me correct that bug! Regards, Eugene. |
Just to add. When I put a new project by tapping "+" sign in the left pane, everything works fine and I get "Microsoft: install new server" result. What's wrong with the Quick Entry box?

The QE dialog parses your entry. The "+" icon creates a new Project and let's you edit the text field that is the Project name. I can confirm the behavior you are seeing. I played around looking for a work-around, but found none (I'm new to OFO, but not to computers). It's a bug in that the behavior is not what the user (you) wants, but it's also a feature: the colon is a special character that has an assigned meaning to OFO. The solution is to have another special character that says to the parser "treat the following character as text". That's what I looked for -- tried the usual characters -- but found nothing. How I see it, fwiw. Again, I am just another user, and a beginner with OFO. |
':' is a special char. Try something different like
Microsoft - Install server software Microsoft; Install server software or anything else that is visually appealing. |
