Usage

• Task Display: Shows tasks that match its configured filter rules. By default, it might show tasks without project tags.
• Filtering:
  • Text Filter: A search bar in the header allows for quick filtering of displayed tasks by their content (case-insensitive).
  • Rule-Based Filtering: Applies predefined filter rules (see settings) to determine which tasks are initially loaded into the view.
• View Modes:
  • List View (): Displays tasks as a flat list.
  • Tree View (): Displays tasks hierarchically, showing parent-child relationships. You can toggle between these modes using the list/branch icon in the header.
• Task Count: The header displays the current number of tasks visible after applying filters.
• Sorting: Tasks are automatically sorted based on the following order:
  1. Completion status (incomplete tasks first).
  2. Priority (higher priority first).
  3. Due Date (earlier dates first).
  4. Task content (alphabetical).
• Interactions:
  • Selection: Click on a task to select it (used for detail views or actions).
  • Completion: Mark tasks as complete directly within the view.
  • Context Menu: Right-click on a task to open a context menu for more actions.
• Lazy Loading: For performance with large numbers of tasks, the view loads tasks in batches as you scroll down.
