Feature Request: Setting to hide unused attributes
I don't use anything in tasks except for title and status. It would be awesome if i could hide the other fields via some kind of setting.
Sounds like a good idea. However, we're also planning to add some kind of "quick add" button that doesn't show the full editor. Instead it will be just a single line for the title (similar to the quick add feature for events in Samsung's S-Planner).
A first version of this is planned as a by-product of full recurrence support. In practice we have to deal with different levels of support for recurrence, i.e. some servers/clients don't support it at all, some support a simplified version, some support the full iCalendar model. Ideally, the user can adjust the task model in OpenTasks to match his/her ecosystem. In order to address this, I'm planning on adding support for selecting your preferred task model for each task list or account. At present the task model is provided by the sync app for all lists maintained by this app. I'm planning on adding more models to OpenTasks and an option for the user to select the model per task list or acount. In the first step we'll provide some basic models like:
- "Getting things done" (no time components, no recurrence)
- "Apple" (no start date, simplified recurrence)
- "Full iCalendar" (everything)
By changing the model you can alter the apperence of the task editor and task view.
We'll certainly add more models over time (after all, adding a model will be as simple as adding another XML file). Eventually there may be a "custom" model, which is entirely user configurable.
I reported a similar request under https://github.com/dmfs/opentasks/issues/107
Who is would like to collaborate on a PR offering a setting to hide only all the date related elements in the user interface?
