[chandler-users] Two questions: See real date? See items not in any collection?

[Andre Mueninghoff]

Hi Benjamin,

As a long-time Chandler Desktop user, to my knowledge, neither of these 
is possible currently in Chandler. However, I agree with you very much 
on the value and utility of these two views. I would very much prefer to 
see the event date in the table view even if the item has an 
alarm/tickler set for it. Also, I regularly and also laboriously step 
through the items in my Dashboard one-by-one while watching the 
collection membership status field at the bottom of the detail view to 
identify items only in the Dashboard. Along these same lines, I think it 
would be also useful to have a quick way to show only those items having 
no stamps, that is, neither an event, star/task, or email/communication 
stamp. I would add though that in spite of these types of user flow 
barriers and necessary workarounds, I have managed to accumulate 
approximately 2,000 items in my repository over time. Becoming familiar 
with the power of the search/find function can be very helpful in 
organizing items.

Sincerely,
Andre
