Use swipe to archive task instead of checkbox

[iBelieve]

In my opinion, the checkbox makes it look more like a task manager instead of a notes app (and there already is a task manager for the showdown, Ubuntu Tasks, which I'm developing). I'd love to see a really good notes app, but I don't think it should be combined with a task manager.

Instead, you could swipe to the right/left to remove tasks. To do this, just set the removable property of a list item to true. You can also add a background component with a background color and icon. If you want, I can post some code I used for the Core Apps' email client a while back.

Also, if you wanted to keep tasks around after being swiped, you could "archive" tasks by swiping so they're still around but hidden by default.

I had the same idea with you about swipe but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Now I know! Consider it done ;)

Here is the code to add a background indicator behind a list item when you swipe it:

backgroundIndicator: Rectangle {
    anchors.fill: parent
    color: "darkgray"
    clip: true

    Image {
        source: "/usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mobile/actions/scalable/delete.svg"
        anchors {
            top: parent.top
            horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
            bottom: parent.bottom
            margins: units.gu(1.5)
        }

        width: height
    }
}

You'll probably want to change the color so it looks partially transparent on top of a Suru theme.

I have already add a label with info about the swipe. I'll check the code above and see which I like most. :)
