mmmhhh... good point Aldaron. I didn't think about password-on-launch until I was planning an 18th birthday bash for one of my grandkids. We have four iPads in a household of seven and we pass them around, so I didn't plan the party in OF because of the risk of someone sneaking a peek in my GTD.

Definitely worth sending the support ninjas email, though - it's not gonna move up that list any other way. :-)
Brian, forgive me if I'm slightly disillusioned about the 'voting' process, but 'contacts' (which has the most votes and has been requested since 2007) still hasn't made it!

I wouldn't have thought that password-on-launch was a huge coding commitment, I see it in numerous free & 99¢ Apps, often with the additional ability to also separately password protect individual items or folders (ie. GoodReader). As long as it was off-by-default it's not exactly going to have a negative impact on the user-base and would be a positive, easily achievable feature benefitting those like Aldaron who need it, and an advantage to those of us who might want to use it on occasion.

Having to 'vote' on something this logical seems a bit pointless, especially as I remain unconvinced that 'voting' actually achieves anything.
