Strange… I still see the problem. I can change the date as you say, and hit OK. But if I choose “reschedule” I see that the date has reverted to 4/9.

You state that when you change the weekly interval to 6 and choose Wednesday, the date is shown as 3/19 (the next Wednesday). The follow are the dates that are displayed when I adjust the weekly interval and day of the week.

When I first choose “weekly” for a new repeating event. the default interval is 1 week and Sunday. The default date is shown as the next Sunday, 3/23. If I change Sunday to Wednesday the date correctly changes to 3/19.

If I then change the interval from 1 week to 2, the date is changed to 3/26. If I then change the interval to 3 weeks, the date reverts to 3/19! 4 weeks gives me 3/26 again. 5 weeks gives me 4/2. 6 weeks gives me 4/9.

I can manually change the date, but it doesn’t stick. If I choose “reschedule” for the event to verify the date, it has reverted to one of the dates listed above, dependant on the weekly interval I chose.

@mgseeley: I couldn’t find any problems here. In Scheduled I choose “New Repeating”. I select “weekly”, enter “6″, and select “Wednesday”. A start date of 3/19 is suggested. Note that this is different from the 4/9 you reported. Then I change “19″ to “26″ and click “OK”. The template is created correctly with a start date of 3/26.

I’m trying to set up a recurring weekly event, but I can’t change the default chosen date. I want the first event to be on Wednesday, March 26th and then every 6 weeks after that date.

Setting it up I choose weekly, every 6 weeks on Wednesday and the default date is set to 4/9. If I change it to 3/26, it reverts to 4/9 when I OK the change!

Am I missing something?

@cb: In the Repeat dialog, choose “monthly”. You will be presented with two more popup menus. Choose “2nd” from the first one and “Tuesday” from the second. It is really that simple.

One question about repeating events: how do you handle “second Tuesday of the month” and other day-of-week dependent monthly events? It’s not the same as “Every X weeks”.

Lovely – just beginning to really enjoy this app.

One thing – why did you choose to get rid of the lovely transition animations I remember (and as seen in the screencast). I.e. when expanding a project (or area i think) to view the containing tasks there was this great sliding transition that had function – it told you where you’d come from and where you’ve gone. It seems harsh and chunkier without it. Like I have to pause to check I clicked the right place. I find these new iPhone esque core animations in UI’s very useful and more intuitive than the olden day static ones (whilst appreciating you could go overboard with them). Please bring it back. It also looks prettier.

Did anyone else have a preference with this?

I found a very small bug:

In the View-Go to menu, it still says “postponed” instead of scheduled. :)
