Greetings Claire and Jeremy!

With regard to the recurring events settings.

Perhaps I've missed it, or not seeing it; however, if it not there I would love to see the following:

When creating recurring events, I would like to be able to select "weekends only" or "weekdays only." Alternatively, if I could choose which day of the week, say for example every third Thursday, it would go a long way towards having that little extra efficiency when creating new actions and during the review process.

To give a real world example that you can actually see, when setting repeating events in Google Calendar, you can check the boxes for the day of the week you want the action to re-occur on.

I love TR and have been a die-hard user for 4+ years. Keep up the excellent work and thank you :)

After I wrote that, I went poking around again in TR and played with the Regular Recurrence settings.

I see the very thing I mentioned but the way the settings are worded is a little confusing, at least to me.

If I can be so bold as to make a suggestion.

Where it says "period" and then allows you to select the number of periods I think a better description would be to use the word "every."

That way it would read "every 2 weeks" for instance; or "every 4 months" for example.

Also, on the line beginning with "Generate" instead of using the word period perhaps the word "instances" or "events" would be more clear.

So that it would read "Generate 6 instances/events in advance."

Thoughts?
