Description Dave Syer

Build ID: M20080221-1800

Steps To Reproduce:
When new changes are coming in and there are already a load of scheduled tasks, I can't easily focus just on the new things - they are dotted around - some changes to existing scheduled tasks surrounded by unchanged scheduled tasks, some scheduled tasks that are completed (and I can't tell if they were scheduled or not, just that they were completed).

David: do you mean that you're finding that the blue incoming arrows don't stand out enough, or that it's difficult to see just the stuff that's new?  If it's the latter, check out bug 177208 as that's our current solution and we could consider making this a duplicate and getting your feedback on that bug.

Mik: yes, it's the latter (or partly), and a new Presentation type would be a nice way to address this.  But nicer would just be a way to set the default sort order so that anything with incoming showed up grouped together by default.

I said partly, because nothing I saw in the discussion of 177208 said anything about the fact that I can't tell the difference *at all* between fixed tasks that are scheduled and those that are unsscheduled, once they have incoming changes they just look grey.
