    OK, I understand the point.

    Still, is it really a diary. perhaps its "lifstyle", "activities", "events", tasks, or something similar.

    Originally, I was all for this diary dialog. But, now not sure that's what it really is with all the functionality. The schedule is really a diary - this is really something else. Something powerful, but not easy to pin down. I lean towards "lifestyle"????

    Thanks for the ideas Toni,

    Initially I have thought about integrating the planner with the diary and having just the planner view (that is what you're saying, right?), but then I thought against it, simply because it would become too cluttered up too quickly, I think. The diary section keeps track of a lot of things and needs lots of supplementary panes, such as preview, parameters, graph, etc... to be utilized fully. If this was all wrapped around a planner view, the planner view itself would be too small to be really useful.

    One thing that I might do, is that to put diary entries on the planner, so that you can double-click on them and that'll take you back to the diary and select that entry. That would provide a bit of integration and would allow you to jump back and forth quickly. What do you think about this?

    Regarding size - well, 2 MBs are for voice recording/playback, 2 MBs are taken by the ingredients XML that has 7500+ ingredients (full USA database), 1.8 MBs are taken by the spelling engine and 1.8 MBs are for the graph. I would actually say that given the functionality included the size is very small and besides, who cares about megabytes now that the world moved to terrabytes? So, in comparison to Essential PIM, I'm doing different exactly those features.
