If I could create a list through jott I'd get a jott subscription in a heartbeat (and it would make sandy even more useful)

I heard that they're actively working on this. From what I understand, there are two parts to this. 1) enabling Sandy to use one line to create and update a list, and 2) enabling Sandy to recognize a few keywords.

For example, on Twitter, you should be able to create and update a list by putting multiple asterisks on the same line. For Jott, Sandy should recognize a few keywords instead of the asterisks. ("add", "remove", "and", etc.)

Something like this for Twitter
> d s r list groceries * butter * eggs * milk
> d s u #1 * yogurt -* milk

For Jott
> remember groceries list. add butter and eggs and milk

There is also some talk about having Sandy recognize list names such as "Groceries" or "Trader Joes". This would allow you to update a list without looking it up first.

> update #trader joe's list. add case of 2 buck chuck for the party

I have another, separate, question about this release and the repetition indicator. In what view does this indicator appear? I have some "notes" and "to-dos" that are tagged @weekly, but they're not recurring properly, nor do I see a repetition icon anywhere. Example: http://www.iwantsandy.com/1155800

Thanks. I know Sandy isn't losing or deleting things... but I don't trust that she's always showing me everything she should.

I looked carefully at one of my past to-dos (http://www.iwantsandy.com/688738). I was wrong about the To-Dos page - it does show up there. But where it doesn't show up is on the page you get to by clicking "Your Stuff" or "Any type". And that's the page I always use to manage my items. I can't see any way to include past to-dos on that page.

A comment on the discussion "UPDATE for May 5th, 2008" in I want Sandy:

Hi Kate. First of all, don't worry — nothing's being lost: it's all about making sure that the various views are showing all they should. As far as your past to-dos are concerned, if they're still to-do they should be showing up in pink (denoting that they are overdue). If they're done, they'll disappear from your to-do list, but can be brought back into the mix by clicking the "Show done to-dos" link. If you do that, are they not appearing? —R – Rael Dornfest, on May 08, 2008 22:41

Thanks for the pointer on "show past". However, that link is only visible when I'm viewing Appointments. The problem is that to-dos can also be considered "past" and I can't find any way to view past to-dos in the To-Do view or the "Any Type" view. Am I missing something?

I'm having some trouble trusting Sandy already and this is causing a bunch of my to-dos to vanish.

Since I use Remember the Milk for tasks/to-dos (we'll see if this continues if I can update Sandy from inside Sunbird) I don't have a problem at all with the inline action links. I was getting annoyed with having to go through so many clicks just to quickly edit something.

But at the same time, I can understand why people wouldn't want them. So an option to turn them off would be nice.

Trevor replied on May 07, 2008 09:00 to the discussion "UPDATE for May 5th, 2008" in I want Sandy:

I don't like the inline action links either - they take up too much space.

kevin1 replied on May 06, 2008 19:56 to the discussion "UPDATE for May 5th, 2008" in I want Sandy:

Sandy's helpers, I found a bug. It turns out that the "sort=date" option either doesn't work correctly, or it's used inappropriately. It excludes all unscheduled items (items without a date) and items tagged as @done.

See this bug. http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...

These are some nice additions and all, but is there any chance we could get lookup working in gmail sometime soon?

I tried it again and to make sure that nothing got added to the email (I use GMail w/ Mailplane), I sent it using plain text. Worked just fine! Thanks for the response.

kevin1 replied on March 19, 2008 19:50 to the question "Why do some tasks get left out when submitting as a list?" in I want Sandy:

Check to see if you (or your email program) added extra lines or spaces. I've heard that Sandy sometimes has problems with that. An extra (blank line) after "Do laundry" would explain the other items bring lost.

Otherwise, could you post what Sandy's response was to your request? That should give you a clue what happened. In case you've lost or deleted your email reply, Sandy has a record of them at iwantsandy.com/email.
