			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After my initial first [impressions](http://www.premagination.com/2006/10/15/accomplice-first-impressions) I&#8217;ve discovered Accomplice is falling far short of it&#8217;s potential. Regardless of what they&#8217;re calling it, this is definitely still a beta product. By calling it a beta I give them a chance to make it better, the other names I might choose are less constructive. Of course, if Accomplice didn&#8217;t have such big potential, and didn&#8217;t already do many things so right, I wouldn&#8217;t be so frustrated and I could just bin it and move on. Here&#8217;s the list of issues so far&#8230;</p>
<p>* Google AdWords in the middle of my screen!?! You&#8217;ve got to be kidding me! At least it&#8217;s possible to minimize them.<br />
* No control or shift select of multiple activies/tasks.<br />
* In indented view, can&#8217;t sort by due date without reverting to list view. In fact, you can&#8217;t sort by anything, it has to be done manually one task at a time.<br />
* Task notes aren&#8217;t imported from Outlook. (Big problem, that&#8217;s where I put the assignment specifics for all my school tasks)<br />
* Task notes in Accomplice aren&#8217;t exported to Outlook. (So how can I access them on my Axim while at school?)<br />
* Categories aren&#8217;t imported/exported from Outlook. This fubars everything on my Axim, as my entire GTD organization scheme is based around categories.<br />
* If you drag&#8217;n'drop a task under another task (making it a sub-task) the position you dragged it is ignored and instead it&#8217;s inserted at the end of the list.<br />
* The task list is scrolled so that the LAST item in the list is display at the TOP of the screen, every time a new filter/view is applied. Frustrating and annoying.<br />
* Every other Task line should have a different background color (like grey) but doesn&#8217;t.<br />
* Select a parent task and use Ctrl-N to create a new task, this new task should be created as a sub-task but isn&#8217;t.<br />
* Mouse wheel works hapzardly while scrolling through task list. (Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn&#8217;t, depending on what has focus. While this may be technically correct it&#8217;s still a usability glitch.)<br />
* Outlook synchronization is not automatic, manual only! (I want immediate and transparent synchronization.)<br />
* A couple duplicate tasks were created in Outlook, from tasks I didn&#8217;t even edit in Accomplice.<br />
* An &#8220;On My Plate&#8221; category was created in Outlook. As my categories are very specifically and precisely defined for GTD, this definitely gets in the way.</p>
<p>In conclusion, Accomplice isn&#8217;t usable for me right now. Which is a huge dissapointment, because I *__really__ want it to work*. All the parts that do work are just what I&#8217;d like, are just how I&#8217;d design them if I thought about it enough. My conclusion? Uninstall for now but keep a **close** eye out for new releases. I&#8217;ll also see if I can get anyone at the company to address the issues in this post.</p>
<p>UPDATE: While editing this post I was informed of a new release of Accomplice, 1.2.1, which I will be immediately installing and testing.</p>
