Hi Kevin

might you consider the possibility of the user choosing to add additional columns to the reminder list in the reminder window via choosing item attributes in the same way as is currently the case for, for example, a search results list?

Thanks, IJG

Allowing the user to dynamically add additional attributes to the Reminder Dialog would be quite complex as this dialog is "shared" between multiple instances of Ultra Recall (one per database) and attributes are defined per database (they could exist in one but not another and could have different internal id values).

What additional attribute(s) would you like to add to the dialog?

which attributes to add? Well, I have several custom attributes I'd like to add. One in particular is what I have called "Action Type" - which (re)informs me as to which context the action/reminder belongs - as per the much talked about GTD methodology - so I have attribute values like @computer, @email, @europe phone calls, @US phone calls... and I don't always use reminders that require they be acted upon at a time more specific than at some point during a particular day, so I could use an alternative to reminders such as a saved search... but I like the 'urgency' feel of reminders, but in practice, of maybe 20 reminders that are active at any one time, I would like to sort and/or group them by "Action Type"... That's one example where I would like to use a custom attribute in the reminders window...
