mjStallinger	Posted: Sep 16, 2015 Score: 3 Reference mjStallinger Posted: Sep 16, 2015 Score: 3 Reference I just used it for a few days and I really like it. I think 'the breadcrumb' could easily replace 'the ribbon', since it uses up fewer space!
Acustk	Posted: Sep 16, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Acustk Posted: Sep 16, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Posted by c5000nc: I really like the bread crumb bar, but would suggest one minor enhancement: At each stage from left to right, add a Refresh button between the item and the arrow. This would allow us to refresh with one click instead of two (clicking on the item, then again on that same item on the pull down menu). This currently is especially cumbersome if there are a lot of items on the pull down menu (like Folders), requiring us to also scroll to refresh it. I frequently change the date or other column of a To-Do, and like to refresh the view. It would be nice to have one click for that with the left side closed. Thanks. For me, clicking the "Tasks" link (the one at the very top of the page) does the refresh that you are asking for.

c5000nc	Posted: Sep 17, 2015 Score: 2 Reference c5000nc Posted: Sep 17, 2015 Score: 2 Reference ADD 'NEW SEARCH' BUTTON TO RIGHT SIDE OF BREADCRUMB BAR It would bring up the full New Search, not the very limited Quick Search, and there is plenty of unused space on the Breadcrumb Bar. It would be very useful to execute a New Search without having to click on the Search button on the Ribbon, then Expand the Ribbon to bring up New Search. For many of us, this Ribbon then has to be closed to see the right side scroll bar. Much easier to have one button on the Breadcrumb Bar to conduct a New Search. Thanks.

Wow, that is a wonderful idea to improve convenience and productivity! Many of us use the 'New Search' quite often -- particularly since TD does not have a clickable multi-select feature. In fact TD should add a clickable multi-select feature..... by Crl+clicking on the check box icon. Normal click will mark the task as done & Crl+click, click, click would mark multiple tasks as selected for further action eg. delete, copy, change a field value, mark stars, etc. Note: 'Ultimate To-do List' Android App has this great feature, and it is a productivity booster.
TheGriff_2	Posted: Sep 18, 2015 Score: 0 Reference TheGriff_2 Posted: Sep 18, 2015 Score: 0 Reference I'm really digging the new breadcrumb bar and find myself using it more than the ribbon. I like the fact I can collapse the ribbon and keep it from "bothering me". Thank you for the enhancement!
garyo	Posted: Sep 18, 2015 Score: 0 Reference garyo Posted: Sep 18, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Ribbon is great. With it, I can close the left sidebar thing ("ribbon") and get more screen real estate in use. VERY nice design and implementation, I haven't seen one like this before.

coolexplorer	Posted: Sep 21, 2015 Score: 2 Reference coolexplorer Posted: Sep 21, 2015 Score: 2 Reference Could the menus related to the individual components of the Breadcrumb Bar be made to drop-down and up on scroll-over. This would save clicks. Similarly for the caret menu of task action on the right of the screen. These suggestions are made without consideration of the complexity and issues involved, which as a non-tech person I am unaware of. Thanks.
