Re: [Planner Dev] Funky Dates, discrepency and weirdness...

Alex,
	the bext thing to do , if the files do not have information
that would go against European data protection acts, is to send
the actual Plannet files or cut them down to the relevant tasks
(and rename resources) and post that to planner-dev.

Changes were done to the Costs in Planner as the older versions
did it wrong. That'll explain the difference though you'll
need to tell us what resoures are allocated for us to show how
its done for your project.

The start and end date is odd, though this can be crafted when
you have set a fixed duration of 1d and then from Task view
you adjust the work - the visible start and finish won't
change. (in CVS looks like a bug in that the work is insensitive
in the Task dialog when fixed duration is selected).

Rgds,
Lincoln.
