Inbox on remote source

Open antrmn opened this issue 11 months ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When "On this computer" source is disabled. Tasks can still be create in Inbox, which is local-only.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like the Inbox to be possibly bound to a remote source.

Additional context I personally do not want some of my tasks to be only available on my computer. I want all my tasks to be available on my only remote source. For example, I often create tasks from different devices, but I ultimately sort them out from my desktop computer.

Hello, and thank you for using Planify. Since Planify is software that integrates multiple services, it was decided that the Inbox project would always remain local (to follow the GTD methodology) to allow users to input any idea and later move it to any project if necessary. However, I will keep your request in mind for a potential improvement in the future.

That's fine and understandable. Thank you for the kind reply and for the hard work you put behind this project

Could "Create a new task" allow a "Save Last Selected Project" option, just like "Quick Add"? It would be convenient when Planify just started, "On this computer" has been disabled, and no particular Project has been chosen. Default could be "Inbox", but could also be set to "Nextcloud > Inbox" for example.

Thanks for the good work!

Ideally, this would work like it does in email apps where "special folders" can be selected to map to corresponding folders in a mail client. For example, the "Sent" folder in a mail client could map to "Sent" or "Sent Messages" on a remote server. Most IMAP email apps will let you select a remote folder to map to a local folder for this reason.

Messages" on a remote server. Most IMAP email apps will let you select a remote folder to map to a local folder for this reason.

that would be perfect solution, then everyone could decide on their own where to save inbox items.
