Long Task Setting Does What?

Just out of curiosity, what does the long task setting under the scheduler do actually? I have a long task, 16 hours. I could break it down into 4 subtasks (or not) manually, but what would selecting that radio button actually do (seems like nothing, I tried) or what are the parameters necessary for it to do something?

Thanks.

The "long task" setting instructs Toodledo that the task can be worked on in pieces, which helps the "Scheduler" with it's algorithm. Otherwise, it thinks that a 4 hour task requires a 4 hour block of time to complete, and it wont schedule if for you if you only give it a 2 hour window of time.

Oh, Ok. Thanks. So it will suggest the task, though the available time is shorter than the task time. Got it. Thanks.
