Add location on task list

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Now that Moloko handles locations, it would be great if they can be seen on the 
task list just like the tags and list.

I'd like to gather some ideas about this.

Currently Moloko shows list name, tags and notes in the tasks list, if 
available. If you have some tags (especially long tags) and some notes, a task 
entry occupies a lot of space. I thought about to make a task entry expandable.

So by default all tasks show only the name and list name and the date. This 
means all tasks have the same height. The other information can be seen by 
click to expand the tasks.

I think this will show more tasks per page what it makes easier for big 
collections.

What do you think?

For the way I use RTM and Moloko, I need the location more than the notes on 
the task list. Locations can be displayed at the end of the tags, that would be 
ok for me.

What I think about expandable tasks is that it's great if one can choose (in 
the options) which details he needs on the list and which details goes to the 
expand.

What would be even better is that when a smart list is displayed, the tags and 
location that are in the search query are not displayed.

I agree. I also made the experience that the notes are not so of interest since 
they can be seen by opening the task.

Adding options to let the user choose what goes into the expanded task is quite 
some effort. So I would leave the task in-expandable and substitute the notes 
by the location.

>> What would be even better is that when a smart list is displayed, the tags

Can you please explain your thoughts, use cases for this?
What if I have a smart list like "location:XYZ" to see all tasks located there. 
Then I'd like to go there by a click on the location. Or do you think this is 
redundant information.

What i meant is :
If I have a smart list like "location:@home and tag:next_action and tag:30mins" 
and displays it, the location and the tags next_actions and 30mins don't have 
to be displayed. I'll know which list I display and thus knows its location and 
tags.

I understand that adding all these options is a big task, removing notes and 
adding location (in place of notes or mixed with the tasks maybe with another 
color) is good for me.

But then I wonder the need of the expand: if one wants the details on a tasks 
shouldn't he just click it to view the details ? What would be the difference 
between an expanded task and it's detail view ?

The consequence would be to leave out all redundant information. Also list 
names if I click a non-smart-list or if the list name is in a smart list query. 
This should be no big deal since I know which operator types I lexed. This is 
already done if you include the "completed:" operator. Then also completed 
tasks have to be included in the result. So please create a new enhancement 
issue for this one.

Yeah. This came into my mind, too.

Off-topic: "location:@home and tag:next_action and tag:30mins"

This is a good test. Could you please try if the following query results in the 
same:
   location:@home and tag:next_action and timeEstimate:"30min"

Implemented in r192. Show location and remove redundant information.
