Is there a way, to get Mac “Reminders” to be automatically date-stamped? – I want to be able to look back and see when a certain entry was created… also, when I search for an entry by text, it doesn’t show when that entry was completed – unless the search is via the Completed items folder.
thanks
Doug

double clicking on a date in the calendar on the reminders app moves a “pinned,floating” list to the desktop for me and is , in fact, the ONLY way, I can get today’s to-do list to stay visible. from within the app, it keeps jumping back to my overall reminders list vs just staying on the date I want. Was getting really frustrating until I just pinned todays date to the desktop. I guess I will have to do this every day. Does anyone else experience the default going back to an overall list every few seconds on their app?

I agree. I would love to know if I’m missing some way to actually “pin” these to the desktop… or to make them “floating” (a la floating Stickies notes). Unless there’s some hidden preference(s), it may just be a matter of confusing terminology, but I sure would love to see those two features as well if they exist.

I don’t see why you say the new Reminders window is pinned to the desktop, or even floating. Double-clicking on the Reminder title simply opens it in a new window, but it doesn’t float and it isn’t pinned to anything. You can also use Command-Return to open a list in a new window. Am I missing something because I would love to have more control over Reminders’ windows.
