Preset filters from command line

[kiil]

Description

I launch taskwarrior-tui from some icons running different command lines and it would be helpful if I could preset filters so taskwarrior-tui would show different tasks from the get go.

Solution

I know it is already possible to select specific reports via the --report flag, but being able to run taskwarrior-tui with filters would greatly improve the flexibility of the app.

Fx

taskwarrior-tui --filter="due:today +important pri:H"

And then the app would open with these filters already set.

Even better if the filters could be simply arguments like so:

taskwarrior-tui due:today +important pri:H

I believe you can set a custom filter for each report already. Does this not work for you?

e.g.:

uda.taskwarrior-tui.task-report.report-name-here.filter="due:today +important pri:H"

I think I'd like to make --filter work too, so I'll keep this issue open. But the above workaround should solve your problem for now.

Yes. That is possible also :)
