Ah, thanks for clarifying. Although this has not been a common request, we’ve heard this from a few others. W should be able to add it as long as we can come up with a scheme that does not overly clutter the Task List. What would you like to see, all of the days broken out for the next week? That would put us at a max of 7 (this week) + 7 (next) week + 3 (future, unscheduled) with a total of 17 containers. We originally worried that was too much information, but given that it’s now easy to focus that view, for those who want to declutter it, it might be feasible.

If there are shortcomings other than those discuseed above, it would be great to hear more about them in our bugs or forums: http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/reply/657 Other than that, It would be great if you could give task management another try when the upcoming fall release comes out, since that will address some of the shortcomings you listed.

That would work for me. You might also consider just having 7 days ahead - in the current incarnation the days ahead “drop off” the list as you go through the week, so that by Sunday there are none left. However, I like my software to work the way I need it to, so I prefer any software to give such choices to the user.
Incidentally, as with all my comments, this has been (many moons ago) requested via the Tasktop bug/enhancement request system.
