330232 - ToDo panel should be redesigned

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 372830

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, enhancement)

Description

[Andras Keri]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Lightning 0.1 RC2 (build: 2006031011)

There is no context menu in the Todo panel in Lightning. The double-click works to edit or to create a task, but there should also be a context menu.

There are no New-Edit-Delete buttons as there are in the Calendars tab. I think it is useless as far as there is a context menu, but this point should be considered carefully.

Columns to be displayed should also be selected. I think that due date and status (in %) is an important information, maybe not for everyone though. The "select columns" icon should be there as usual in Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Context menu should be something like this:
 ----------------------------------
 New Task...
 Delete Task
 ----------------------------------
 Status -> 0%/25%/50%/75%/100%
 ----------------------------------
 Hide/Show completed tasks
 Properties
 ----------------------------------

I think this should be considered as new users really don't know how to create a task in Lightning. It takes some time to stumble across the double-click feature.

Menu 'File -> New -> Task'

But yes, Lightning needs better task support.

This has been fixed by adding Sunbirds task list functionality to Lightning.
