(Get the code!)
One possible behavior would be to just show the "most recent" non-completed task. Or you may have an option to display multiple non-completed recurring tasks.
One way to do this would be to spawn a new task, identical to the parent task with the exeption of the due date. The new task would be spawned when the current task is marked as complete.
So, It's 1/1/09 and I want to create a task that due due on the 15th of each month. I create a new task, set the due date to 1/15/09, the start date could be set the same as the 'initial' due date. I set the recurrence to "monthly" and set the reminder to 5 minutes, or whatever.
On 1/15/09, I am reminded to do my task. But, I'm lazy so I hit the snooze button a few times. Finally, I do my task, dismiss the reminder and mark the recurring task complete.
When I check the "complete" box, it is struck-though as completed and a "new task" is created that is identical to the task I just completed but the due date of the new task is 2/15/09, also with a reminder.
I think this behavior ideal since althoug seeing multiple incomplete tasks may be a bonus in some cases.
Any idea when the new functionality will be available or if it is avaialable, how do I install it? I'm moving over from outlook and not having working recurring tasks is a deal breaker for me. I hate to say that since I love all the other features.
