Dealing with recurring tasks? #21

Closed feedhopper closed 1 year ago

feedhopper commented 2 years ago

Hi there,

your plugin is fantastic. It is an excellent solution to the task cluttering problem in Obsidian!

I wonder about one thing: how to deal with recurring tasks? Of course, I am fine with the task ticked away being moved to my archiv file. But what about those that are supposed to come again on any given day?

FabianoLothor commented 1 year ago

@feedhopper I don't know what's the task plugin that you're using.

But if you're using https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks then you don't have to worry about that, since a new task is automatically created when you complete the previous one.

The archive only archives completed tasks, so...

Hi @feedhopper! @FabianoLothor is right. obsidian-tasks duplicates recurring tasks once you complete them: image

My plugin is not going to touch the original unchecked task.

Thank you for the great plugin! Could this be re-opened? I'd like a single command/hotkey to mark an obsidian-tasks completed.

  1. when I use your "Toggle task done an archive it"; no new recurring event is created in its place.
  2. when I use Obsidian Task: "Toggle task done," I then need to run your "Archive Tasks in this File".

BTW: Is there a way to archive tasks throughout the vault?

@reagle if you are still looking for a solution this check out Better Command Palette. (obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-better-command-palette) It has a macro's feature that allows you to chain commands together into a single command.
