Export tasks (save, copy, or print a list, search results, or due tasks)

Apparently the Wunderlist desktop app offers no options when printing a list. The printout includes the tasks, subtasks, notes, due dates, etc. It is not easy to get a printout of just the task names.

Two possibilities for exporting tasks include opening a text editor with the selected tasks from which the user can print or otherwise make use of the tasks, or just copy the list to the clipboard. The workflow will not automatically submit a print job.

A potential challenge here is whether people want the minimalist task-only printout or if all of the associated metadata is fair game as well. This seems like something that could be quite difficult to configure within the constraints of Alfred if your export should contain, for example, task names and due dates but no reminders or notes.

Please :thumbsup: if you are interested in this feature. This idea will require more feedback to determine whether it is necessary and how it would integrate with the workflow. If you have a use case that would benefit from exporting apps in a more convenient format than the Wunderlist desktop app allows please share that with as much detail as you can.
