What happened to the 'today' button in the RM4 calendar? When updating a 'date last worked on' ToDo entry, it no longer defaults to today and/or does not have a today button.

Sigh, the ToDo function seems to have been effectively forgotten in the RM4 re-write and has -IMHO- gone backwards. It should be such an integral part of computer-based research (e.g. links to correspondence etc), but as is in RM4, its little more than a pale imitation of a already long overlooked and undeveloped function.

Sorry, sometimes its hard to disguise my disappointment

I suspect Bruce and partner may still have some details to be fixed/added. It -was- a complete rewrite, after all!

In RM 40.1.0, when I open a ToDo to edit it, and click on the calendar icon, the calendar opens on today's date. I click on Select or hit Enter on the keyboard, and today's date is entered in the Date box.

This works for a new ToDo or new entry in to one of the Date fields (started / last worked / completed), but if you edit an existing date (for example the 'last worked'), then it just shows that date, with no indication of today or a button to jump to today. This is not how it worked in RM3 and I can't understand why it was dropped in RM4?

Hi Laura!
You're right, of course, but unfortunately, he explicitly referred to "When updating a 'date last worked on' ToDo entry". When one updates a ToDo and then wishes to change -that- date (last worked on)... RM4 opens the calendar to -that- date, but since there is no <today> button in the calendar popup, one must arrow through the month(s) to today's date and then select. Just an oversight that'll likely get added back, at some point.

EDIT: ahh Barry beat me to it!

The calendar app was rewritten and that button's purpose was merely overlooked.
