For "pinky", while I to would like to see attachments handled better, don't really need the icon just the file name, a temporary workaround that I use is an automator script that put the link in as a URL into the clipboard, then I just paste to notes. That way I can click on the URL and have the file appear in Finder. From there I can quick look it or launch it.
Put this in automator: Code:
on run {input, parameters} tell application "Finder" to set the clipboard to (URL of (selection as alias) as string) get (the clipboard) return input end run Last edited by gcrump; 2009-02-03 at 02:37 AM..

Thanks I'll give it a try. To be honest I'm looking at Circus Ponies Notebook which handles attachments really well, with many options.
But thanks.

I emailed customer support about this back when version 1.0 debuted, but unfortunately the issue is still not fixed: when I enter a new starting date the end date does NOT move. This incorrect behavior results in situations where the end date can move before the start date. I would expect, and hope to eventually see, a behavior like in iCal, whereas the end date is moved accordingly and in line to the existing timeframe, i.e. if there are two weeks between start and end date then the end date is moved by two weeks once the start date changes. Logical, is it not?

I'm with gryphonent on how this should work - it is more likely for my workflow that the duration will remain constant. However, at the very least, the due date should automatically correct itself to be the same day as the start date rather than remaining in the past. That is just basic UI for calendaring apps and should have been there from day one, imo.

Right - leaving the length of time between start and end date the same is certainly the lesser of any evils of having them move backwards in time by leaving the end date alone

Now, that part I can agree with! If the start date is moved beyond the due date, the due date should be set to the start date. I'm undecided what should happen to the time portion -- unchanged (except if it would be prior to the new start date/time), use the default due time, same time offset from start time, multiple choices, all of them bound to be wrong at one time or another :-)

I'm pretty happy how it is, especially given it's not supposed to be a project planner like OmniPlan.
I use the start date as a way to declutter my live view of todos. e.g. Make something start Friday so I don't see it on Wednesday when I'm not ready to start it. And say it's due Friday too... then when my workflow goes bad, but I really can't start it until Monday it still show's how (over)due it is...
