Coming x Days does not show Today tasks

[PaleoPaul]

I have a saved search for coming 7 days but unfortunately it does not include Today. To my mind when I think of tasks in the next 7 days I think of today plus next 6 days. I think this is more logical and useful. Currently I have to click on Today as well as my Next 7 days tab.

I would also like to see the number of tasks in saved searches and Done tab in red circle as you do for other tabs.

Also really don't see why it is not possible to hide the Today tab, here is the code in Vb.net tabToday.visible = False. Sorry being facetious but I know this feature has often been requested. It seems poor design that UI concerns are not properly abstracted/seperated from business logic so pehaps some refactoring is warranted as longer term it would benefit the app architecture and future feature requests.

I think the difference is that I am using start date and no due date and sorting the calendar by start date descending. Any task with a start date of today and no start time gets hidden.

When I create a new task with a start date it does not default to 12 midnight which according to the v2.7 release notes it should. If you do set a start time then the task does appear in coming 7 days search.

Also the built in Scheduled Calendar does not show tasks with a start date of today but empty start time.

So, in summary I suspect that when a new task is created the start time is not defaulting to 12 midnight but empty date and when a date range search is done the task is not being identified as being Today. So definetely a bug as time is irrelevant.

No, this is definetely a bug with tasks created on the ipad version. For some reason the ipad version does not show the start time but I can confirm that it does defaults to 12:00am as that is what is shown when synced across to my ipod touch. The iphone version when you create a new task and set the start date, the date/time control defaults to current time. Iphone version start date has a combined start date and time control and a seperate time field. Ipad version has just a start date control and Time field which is quite confusing!

I bought my ipod touch and ipad in Australia but am now in the UK could that be relevant?

Maybe I should stop using start date and use due date instead?

I have both an iPhone and an iPad -- and I think Shelley does as well, as I'm sure she has indicated thus in many of her posts. Contrary to what you're saying: start time/date settings are identical on both devices.

I think I know where you're confused. You have the selection page for start date on your iPhone set to show the wheel view, which allows allows you to change the start time alongside the start date. And you have the selection page for start time on your iPad set to show the calendar view, which does NOT allow you to change the start time -- but there is always, always a start time assigned alongside a start date, and the default is 12:00 am

To switch between the two views for selecting start date & time, tap the little icon near the lower right corner.

Maybe some screen shots will help

Ummm, nope, not helpful whatsoever for the point that I made in my post regarding your incorrect statement that you can't set start times on an iPad.

Yes, I did have Ipad wheel set differently thanks for that but it does not fix the bug.

I have just discovered something interesting. I have two tasks with a start date of today and start time of 12.00. They both appear in my coming 7 days calendar as expected. If I change the start time of one of the tasks to anytime before 12 eg. 11.59 or 00.00 then it instantly dissappears from the coming 7 days list.

In addition none of my tasks with start date of today appear in the scheduled calendar unless their start time is greater than the current system time.
