Cut & Paste from Outlook switches to Task Import

Post by jonrtodolist » Wed Sep 11, 2024 11:12 am

When I drag and drop an email to ToDoList, it opens the expected 'matching' dialog and imports the email as a task with the matching subject (Very Cool! Amazingly useful!).

However, when I try to cut and paste an email (much easier and preferred to drag-and-drop), it starts well by opening an import dialog showing the email contents from the clipboard, with Outlook selected as a format - but when the 'Import' button is selected, the dialog is closed to be replaced by the Task Import dialog with the 'Tasks' folder selected. (In theory, I could change to the 'inbox' folder and select the email - but with thousands of items in the 'inbox', I never had the patience to find out if it worked).

Hopefully this would be a simple fix, given that it is already working with drag-and-drop.

Hi Jon

Can you articulate precisely how you think it should work?
