Description Sam Davis CLA 2010-11-25 21:24:47 EST
After Scheduling a task in the task list in scheduled presentation, the date it was scheduled for should be expanded. I don't mean when scheduling a task via the task editor, I mean when using the schedule for menu, or dragging the task in the task list.

How does Windows handle dropping files on a collapsed folder in the Explorer? Does it automatically expand? I am not sure I like the suggestion as it to get lost when views automatically expand and move items. 

On Gtk folders expand if you hover over them for a second. Have you tried that?
Comment 2 Sam Davis CLA 2010-11-26 12:07:22 EST
Folders do not expand on hover in Windows. They also do not expand when files are dropped on them. But this feels different to me somehow. Maybe the folder should expand only if it has a small number of items?

The current behaviour is different than I thought: date folders do expand, but only if they have been recently expanded.

On most operating systems containers expand when you hover over them for a short period of time. This also works on the task list (at least on Gtk). For platform consistency reasons I am opposed to changing the behavior to always expand on drop. 

I noticed though that containers are not expanded on drop in focused mode which is a bug. I have updated the summary accordingly.

I think I misunderstood you before. If you drag a task to a date and hold it there, the date bin will expand. I think this is fine.
