This would have to be done before the event gets added to the database, because it splits on characters like -
. And it would need a UI to edit those regexps etc.
Doing it retroactively would be harder since xxxx
and Youtube
are already different nodes in the database.
There is no feature currently to do any regex or substring matching, right? So I would like to second the request :-)
I started using ProcrastiTracker today and it's an issue I've hit immediately. Much of my work happens on GitHub and seems like every issue or pull request I open is listed as a separate entry with no hierarchy, which makes them unusable for me.
When using the software, I find it's hard to categorize some tasks because the title will change often. For instance a web browser will display the title of the app but sometimes you would like to regroup several titles together (for instance "xxxx - YouTube").
My proposal would be to allow to configure a list of regular expressions that gets applied to application titles, so for instance adding:
.* - YouTube
->Youtube.com
would merge all youtube videos watched into the same task.The same apply for Github, and many other web services. The ability for the regexp to be applied afterwards would be nice.
