customizing reports #43

Open jdietrch opened 3 years ago

jdietrch commented 3 years ago

Would it be possible to customize the reports that tasklite produces? When I run tasklite open the third column is "Opened UTC". I think I would prefer to not show that and move the "Due UTC" information to that place instead.

Of course different people will have different opinions/preferences, and that's exactly why it would be good to have this aspect of tasklite customizeable.

I know you're not trying to make an exact duplicate of taskwarrior, but that program is quite flexible with its handling of reports: https://taskwarrior.org/docs/report.html

Being able to customize views (not sure if I'm going to adopt the "reports" terminology) is definitely on the roadmap. However, it doesn't have a high priority 🙁. In the meantime you can combine the export commands with standard unix tools for custom views. E.g. as described here: https://tasklite.org/usage/cli.html#custom-views
