Inbox behavior

[vjousse]

Hi, first thanks for this amazing project. I'm coding using Rust, Elm and I'm managing my todos with todo.sh, this looks like the perfect project to me :)

What are the minimum necessary steps to reproduce this issue?

Add a task with a related project to it using +myproject

What happens?

Task is listed under the project tab but not under the inbox one.

What were you expecting to happen?

I would expect the Inbox tab to list all the tasks I have to do. This is maybe the intended behavior, but if it is, is there a way to get the list of all my tasks? Just like a todo ls would do. Thanks!

The inbox is for unclassified tasks (ie without project). I designed this project for weekly reviews, I continue using todo.sh for daily use.

In the project view, you can press ctrl+a to select all projects, for course you won’t see task without project.

I close this issue, feel free to reopen it if the inbox behavior is not clear.

Not the OP. I have used todo.txt for years, and I, like you, mostly use the CL or I open the file in Emacs with todo-mode if I am going to add a lot of stuff at once. I recently got a second monitor, so I was looking at GUI apps, and yours is the best! It took me a while to understand why my inbox had only 4 tasks. The thing, for me, is I only want efftask to sit on my second monitor on all virtual desktops to glance at. I don't want to actually add and complete tasks with it.

The todo.txt methodology is priority, projects, context. In no view, Inbox with unsorted, projects or contexts are the priority flags of (A) (B) and (C) identified, and I want them at the top regardless of view or due date.

You're the developer! Code it how it works best for you, but if you'd consider allowing it to identify priority I'd gladly buy you a coffee (or 10). Please don't make me go back to Sleek with it's constant javascript errors (unless you install it through snap (which I won't do.) :-)

I can easily satisfy everyone by adding a preference to show/hide tasks with project in the inbox.

However you want to do it. I'm personally fine with the project tab as is. I just feel that in keeping with Gina's methodology Priority should be at the top, like in a todo.sh ls command. Regardless of any project or context tags or due date, ls will return priorities at the top.

If your point is only about tasks order, it’s fixed in the new release 1.4.2.
