Re: [Planner Dev] Proposal for new features: screenshot

[Matteo Nastasi <nastasi alternativeoutput it>]

Hi Kurt, thank you for your suggests but I think that I leave this
little inconsistency as a "know bug".

A reason of my choice is that I feel that you and Richard believe
in a evolution of planner on the management of the priorities, It's
right ?

For me vampires are only a shortcut to have a feature that solves
a recurrent problem in my experience.

It's my opinion that a full management of priorities is necessary
and put planner on big step ahead but we must open a discussion on
what it meaning "manage priorities" and how it can work well.

Regards, Matteo.
