   Hi there!
   
   I have just tried Nexty and think it's a nice tool. However, only 6 projects are displayed on the left-hand side of the screen, and also in the drop-down menu at the top. If I want to access the other projects (and quickly create new tasks), I have to click several times. Can the number of displayed projects be adjusted?

   I played around a bit and it seems to be a bit more complicated than a fixed limit. I added new projects and removed one that was previously displayed on the left-hand side, and now only 5 projects are left there, although I have 8 projects with active tasks. It looks like this:
   
   
   
   I guess it has something to do with the lines
   
   <?php foreach($pending_projects as $id=>$name) { ?>
   <li><a href="<?=$abs?>tasks/list.php?project=<?=$id?>"><?=$name?></a></li>
   <?php } ?>
   
   in templates/layout/page.php, but since I don't know much about php, I can't tell for sure.

   Actually only projects with active tasks in them are shown in the left and top menu. If you want to see all the projects, click on the projects tab.

   Yes, I guess that that would be the intended behaviour.
   
   However, at the time I had 8 projects with active tasks, yet only 5 of them where shown. (Right now 5 out of 6 projects with open tasks are shown.)

   Only Projects with tasks marked as 'Immediate' will show up - maybe/idea will not show - anyway, I'll take a look into this.

   I definitely have projects with "immediate" and active tasks which do not show up.

   OK There was a small bug - its fixed now.
   
   But right now there is a 10 project limit for the top and left menus(yeah, it should show 10 - its was showing 5 for you due to the bug(which is fixed now)). So I want your advice here - should I let this 10 project limit stay - or should I remove it. The problem with removing it is that the reminder area(below the left project list) will go below the fold in the browser - so some users will not see the reminder.
   
   What do you think about the 10 project limit - should it stay or should it be removed. If you don't want the limit - but you think most users would find it helpful, let me know - and I will create a custom version for you without the limit.
   
   And thanks for your feedback.

   OK, now that there is a new version, how do I update without losing my data? Can I just copy the new files to the server, or do I have to run the install routine again?
   
   About the 10 projects limit: that should be enough for me. However, if you choose the limit because the reminder area will not be visible, have you thought about users with netbooks, which usually only have screens of 600 pixels in height (and even less available in their browser window)?
   
   Can't you check how much space there is and adjust the lists according to that? Or let the user choose the length of the list?
   These are just thoughts, not requests. I don't know how much work that would be and I think I will be fine with up to ten projects.

   Copy the configuration.php file in the existing installation to another folder. Then copy all the files from the new release and then copy the configuration.php file back into the nexty folder. You don't have to run the installer.
   
   But keep in mind that the latest release DO NOT have the bug fix we are talking about - I created the latest release 3,4 days ago - at that time, I had not fixed this issue. Just install it - I'll give you the update file the fixes this issue - you can add it to your system manually.

   Good point. I think I'll move the reminders to the top of projects. It will not show up if there are no reminders. Thoughts?

    Sounds good. Maybe you want to do the same for the "Inbox", "Create new task" and "Next Action" buttons at the bottom. On the other hand, the latter two are in the upper right corner anyway, and "Inbox" I never used

    Sorry about the delay in the reply. I have made all the necessary change. Expect a new release in 2,3 days.
