This is fantastic, and I use it all the time. Thanks!

It also works with negative numbers of days, if you want to do something sooner.

Curt, thanks for your bug fixes—I was having trouble with a couple of them. Those changes and a few others are incorporated in a new version...

Thanks for the update on this script. I'll add that that one thing that I would like to see in this is the option to modify start only, due only, or start and due. I tried modifying this script a while back to see if I could do it, but I'm not script-savvy enough to make it work. One limitation that I ran into right away is that apparently one cannot have 4 buttons in a script dialog, so if there are options to modify start, due, both, then there cannot be a cancel button.

Greg,

Good idea. I thought about wrapping "Start only" into the Defer script but decided it's conceptually different enough to "snooze" an item (leaving the due date intact) than to "defer" it (pushing the whole item back)... so I adapted this into a new "Snooze" script that does what you want.

That's exactly what I need and it works well-thanks!

Is there any way that this can automatically fill in today's date for unscheduled tasks that you want to move?

At the moment if you use it on a task which doesn't have a specific date it does nothing as it doesn't realise that even though the date field is blank, you may still want to move this action to a few days from the current date.

Bevvy—for unscheduled tasks that you want to move, do you want to avoid seeing them for the specified number of days? If so, this "Snooze" script might suit your needs:

I too would find this convenient. This way I wouldn't have to have one script for snooze, and another for defer.
