Dragging and dropping items to categories moves them, and items can
be dragged into the root. Note that there is still a
limitation of not being able to make multiple selections in the
Tasks view. Also, if the Mylar Tasks view is in fast view mode the
active task will be indicated when you mouse over the icon and on
the view description bar<p> <img border="0" src="images/faq/tasklist-drag.gif" width="303" height="172"></td>

The Task Planner has been available for a while is still
experimental, but the UI has improved. Invoke it via File ->
New -> Other -> Mylar Task Planner, specify the number of days, and
you will see a report of your past activity. You can drag
tasks from the task list into the plan (e.g. from a Bugzilla query),
and set their reminders and estimates. All tasks in the plan
can be automatically added to a category.<p>

</td>
<td valign="top" width="70%">
The automatic task context change sets now persist, so that if there
are any uncommitted resources in the change set it will not
disappear when the task is deactivated, and multiple change sets can
be present. While the context change sets are affected by
interest manipulations (i.e. marking a file uninteresting will
remove it from the change set), they do not 'see' the interest decay
in order to indefinitely retain any resources modified as part of
that task. If resources are changed outside of the context
(e.g. by applying a patch) they can be added to the task via the Add
To menu (visible below). If the task context they are added to
is active those resources will be also come interesting.<p>

If the Manage Editors with Context option is selected open editors
will correspond to the active task context:<br>
- On task activation the editors of the most interesting elements
will be automatically opened, and populate the Ctrl+E list.
Set the number of editors to open on the Mylar preference page.<br>
- Closing an editor will mark the corresponding file and all
children uninteresting (Note that "Mark Less Interesting" now
recurses to children). So if you navigate to something
uninteresting simply hit Ctrl+F4.<br>
- Note that this option will turn off the Eclipse "Close editors
automatically" option, but will set it back to it's original state
if toggled off.<p>

When the Synchronize view is in Incoming and Change Sets mode

incoming changes will be grouped by task description. Right
clicking a Change Set will bring up an "Open Corresponding Report"
action to navigate to the corresponding issue (either Bugzilla
report or Web Link). The same action is available for
navigating from commit messages to reports in the CVS Resource
History view. <p>

The active task now corresponds to a Change Set that's managed
by Mylar. All resources in the task's context automatically get included
in this change set, making it possible to synchronize and
commit only those resources. Resources modified that
are not part of the Task Context will appear outside of the Change
Set in the Synchronize view. Note that as with other Change
Sets you need to set the Synchronize view into either Incoming or
Outgoing mode and toggle the "Show Change Sets" button.<p>

Resources in the Task Context can be committed either by
right-clicking the active task and selecting the Commit Task Context action, or
by right-clicking the Change Set in the Synchronize view. In
both cases the commit message will be populated by the description
and URL of the task (if available). The comment prefix can be
changed in the Task List preferences page.<p>

The

applied, since it helps focus on the markers of interest.

The Task List popup menu has been improved to be more context
sensitive and to always create items in the category that is

Common actions are now keyboard shortcuts:<br>

Task button on the Task List, and the URL will automatically be
inserted in the Web Link field. If you click Get Description
the title of the page will be inserted into the Description field.
The task will appear with a Web icon decorator, and will
automatically bring up a Task Editor page that loads the web link
when opened.
