Improved custom agenda views

[v-Nyo]

I think adding a new settings tab for custom agenda views that also appear next to the default ones (not just in the search query, and also able to export them) would be really useful.

Most stuff besides changing the color of TODO or priority face to pink is probably already implemented.

I would suggest to make it more accessible to users (having the docs for it in the app or just being to able to select / change the option in a new menu...)

... please make additional suggestions

For the beginning I would suggest to make a new menu where you can define a new agenda view like "Work" and just being able to add a line like ".it.done " etc. with the docs integrated in the app.

Or add another tab like "agenda search queries" that you have to define yourself

@v-Nyo Hello, thanks for your suggestion, but I don't understand in what way this is different from the existing search queries?

appear next to the default ones

Could you clarify what you mean by "the default ones"?

My understanding is that an "agenda view" is just a search query which includes the "ad" keyword.

I mean the ability the add a "agenda view" search query permanently above / below "Next 3 day" or "Scheduled" .

And as far as I understand the "Searches" tab is not just for "agenda views" with the ad keyword. (You can search for text inside a note etc. ) I suggest to add a "Agenda Searches" below the "Searches" button where only user configured search queries (for keywords tags ...) appear. So basically a tab for various "Agenda views" that are defined in settings and will also get exported.

Hahahah nevermind now that I took a close look what I wanted to suggest Is pretty much already implemented even with import/export

That's sort of what I thought, good to hear. 😀

The language wasn't clear to me. So I never realized what this was actually for.

I guess my suggestion would be to rename this button to "Agenda Views" or "Agenda search query" and have another "Search" button just actually be a search button where you find text inside a note etc.

And to make it easier for users to define their own queries like when you open a heading and can select the tags, state, priority, scheduled time (But I guess this is not really necessary)...

And pls paste the documentation for it into the app (As an org note for example). I think is good to provide it online but I personally dislike that you can't just view it in the app.

A more user-friendly search UI would be nice, yeah. The Searches tab is for managing saved searches. The ad-hoc search ability that you mention is available if you tap the magnifying glass icon in the main (notebooks) screen.

Sry this really was a RTFM moment.
