Suggested by Marko and @a_iulica - thanks, people ! -, these buttons allow you to finish or archive a task directly from the “view task” box.

as suggested by @mjhawkins

Thanks, Michael !

When adding a new task, the last option in the projects checkbox is now “<new project>”. Just select this option and you could add a new project on the fly.

The same is valid for lists or contexts.

and I promise I will keep you up to date with all the news you need

You are using TaskWriter for a while by now, and you feel that you have too many visible tasks….

“Activate / Deactivate” is for you !

Use the right “deactivate” button to temporary hide all tasks in a specific project. You can also see that like putting the project on hold. You can do the same for a list you are not using for a long time (but you don’t want to delete it yet), or for a context that does not work for you while you are on holiday.

For tasks that goes into the calendar, you might not want to see them everyday in your task list. Instead, you might want to be hidden until 2 days before due date.

How to do that ?

1. set a due date

2. choose “hide until 2 days before”

The result ?

You won’t see this task until the 19th of December (2 days before its due date)

What if I want to see it before ?

You will notice the “2 tasks are hidden (show)” label in the “by due date” box. Just click on “show all” to see all your tasks and (maybe) edit them.

…while I was just adding a new task. So I have to click “Cancel”, add a new project, and then start again with my task from the very begining. :(”

NO, NOT AT ALL

The above scenario is not a valid scenario for taskwriter. Instead, you just leave everything open in the “tasks” tab, go to the “define” tab, create the new project you need, and then go back to the “tasks” tab. All your data will still be there, except that your new project will also be available. It’s not usual for web apps, but it’s handy, isn’t it ?

To make it ever more simpler, we are going to add a new item in each combo, like “<add a project>”, “<add a list>” and “<add a context>”.

Thanks for the suggestion, Michael !

Now it’s very simple to answer the above question, just by having a look at the left side of the screen. You will notice a number between the parenthesis - this number shows how many active tasks falls under a specific project / context / list.

If the project / context / list is gray, then you do not have any active tasks there.

Thanks for the nice idea, stevie !

1. more details available

You can now choose whether you need to print the task data or not. Press the “full” button to print everything, or just press “print” to have only the tasks.

2. better print layout

The tasks are now printed just like you see them on the screen. No more flat lists

If you want to reactivate your task after it was archived , just go in the ‘archive’ tab. You will notice that you have a new “reactivate” link there. Just press it and your task is active again.
