Task reminder should provide a "complete" button

[Ian Coulthard]

When a reminder for a task comes up there is the option to dismiss, snooze
and open. It would be useful to have a button mark completed. Many of my
reminders I want to flag as complete and it is necessary to open and then
mark. this would be an ease of use improvement.

True, didn't realize that was there. However it then raises the issue of
inconsistant operation. Right click offers complete and open, yet there are
buttons for open, dismiss, snooze. For consistency there should be one or the
other - buttons for the currently selected task or right click operations.

Yes, I know. But the same Reminders screen is being used by Appointments as
well and there a Completed button doesnt't make sense. The special option
for Tasks is therefor under the rightclick button.

They could make it context sensitive so that a task reminder has the button
for completed.

No big deal anyway.

"Ya" may want to do this but if "ya" had read the thread, "ya" would have
seen that I know of this method but don't wnat to go through a 2 step
process, a simple complete would be better.
