Mylar Tips and Tricks
Task List Tips
- If you wish to discard outgoing changes on a task (ie. in case of mid-air collisions), use the synchronize (F5) option in the tasklist popup menu. This will retrieve the latest data from the repository and will present a dialog indicating that your local changes will be overwritten (you may opt to keep your new comment if desired).
- The Task List can be restored from history via it's view menu -> Restore Tasks from History...
Source Repositories
- When checking out a new project, deactivate the active task. Otherwise all newly created files will become interesting.
