Allow filter preset to show hidden tasks #107

Closed bnoellert closed 8 years ago

bnoellert commented 8 years ago

Perhaps I'm doing something incorrect, but I would like to be able to set up a filter to be able to see the tasks that are currently "hidden" via the hide or threshold tags. I tried the filter "hidden is yes" however nothing shows up. If I uncheck the box in the Preferences to hide the tasks then they do re-appear. Not quite sure if this is a bug or an enhancement request. Thanks.

Right now, the “hide hidden tasks” preference asks as a super-filter that is applied no matter what you set in the filter preferences. The only way to view hidden tasks is to uncheck that box in preference. I didn’t make the “hidden is yes” filter that you can apply in the filter preferences override this behavior because I think it would make the “hide hidden tasks” behavior more fragile. So…it’s super consistent. You just have to uncheck that preference before you look for, and edit, your hidden tasks.

Makes sense. I was able to get the behavior I wanted by removing the super-filter and just applying regular filters to the threshold dates. Thanks!

I was wanting something similar to this, so did you just make a filter so that your threshold dates beyond today are filtered out and then in the settings hide future tasks is unchecked instead of checked?

If I have hide future tasks checked, I can't find anyway to view the current thresholded items without unchecking that checkbox. Changing the filters doesn't help.
