Easy way to change due date to today

bradb says:
I use due dates for most of my tasks. Often :-) I'm not able to complete a task on the day I assigned for it. I often look at the Overdue tab and see what tasks I wasn't able to finish from the day before. It would be a nice feature to have a "Today" button or some easy way to change the due date for multiple tasks to today without having to type in a textual date (e.g. 04 July 2006).

Actually, to expand on this idea, add a calendar control for the date entry; many calendar controls have a "Today" button.

Does the "postpone" button not accomplish what you are after?

If I have a stack of tasks (with different or no due date), and select a bunch of them, the first click of the Postpone button moves the due date to today, and then each click after that moves the due date 1 day further.

How does that differ from what you are hoping to accomplish?

That's perfect, pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I'm not sure the word 'postpone' or the multiple clicks is very discoverable; however, a good way to make that more intuitive/discoverable doesn't come to mind right away.

Thanks ranbarton!
