This is a continuation of a (brief) Twitter conversation I had with Ken Case about the View options in OF2. Thanks Ken for replying! The query I had was whether the view options in OF2 would be the same as in OF1 or if it would inherit the (in my view, crippled) view options from the iOS app. Ken said:
I think this is a retrograde step: my explanation for why was too long for Twitter, so I thought I'd post here and see what everyone else thought. In OF1 my standard view in Project mode is:
Edit: p.s. I also have no idea at all why you can't sort the projects list in the sidebar (e.g. alphabetically) in any version of OF. It would be useful...

The Standard edition will use iOS’ simplified view options; in Pro, you can create custom Perspectives with the full range. |
- Project filter: active
- Ungrouped
- Sorting: name
- Availability: any status
- Status filter: any status
- Estimated time: any
- Next action: only shows me the next action, not all my remaining ones - no good for reviewing/planning.
- Available: doesn't show me the completed actions.
- Remaining: shows me everything on hold as well as my active projects, which I don't want (I use "on hold" projects as my Someday/Maybe list and there are a lot of them, so I don't want to see them when I'm reviewing my active projects).
- All: no good as it includes completed, dropped and future stuff (all of which I don't want to see when I'm doing general project planning).
- Make the iOS apps have equivalent views to OF1 (in my dreams).
- Don't reduce the view options in OF2 to the level of the iOS app!
