Hide all tasks by default and show specific ones

[lonix1]

By default all tasks are shown, and one can hide them individually via "hide": true.

But I have MANY tasks, and this isn't convenient. I prefer to hide all tasks by default via "tasks.statusbar.default.hide": true, and then to show specific tasks via "hide": false.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. No tasks are shown.

Is this possible?

I can't reproduce.

Thanks.

Does that mean what I wrote above should work - did I do it properly?

So:

• in .vscode/settings.json I set "tasks.statusbar.default.hide": true to hide all tasks
• in .vscode/tasks.json I set "hide": false to show a specific task

?

These Settings look fine and work fine on my computer
