Select-folder property
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Hi Tony. Following development here with excitement. My current challenge implementing tq is that I organize and differentiate projects by folder, not tag. Thus, I don't know how I might be able to build a view of tasks that are related to specific projects.
Describe the solution you'd like Are you considering adding a "select-folder" property in the future?
Describe alternatives you've considered Without a folder-based property, I would have to create a tag for each project folder just to achieve this. Not impossible, but unwieldy.
Additional context I really, really prefer the file-based task approach (as opposed to a block-based task) and hope that you are able to continue with your work! Thanks!
Ahhh. Just recalled that tq uses a 'tasks' folder so my implementation approach fails. Well, I'd modify my request to support another user's request to move tasks into any folder within the vault and then use a "select-folder" property :)
I worry that putting these tasks in other folders would cause a bit of a mess. Right now they are all named task-XXXX where the last four characters are random. The files are meant to be pretty invisible and not interacted with directly. They just need to be in the vault somewhere.
Fair enough. I wonder if you might consider a "select-link" property (the dataview plugin has both an in-link and out-link property) as an alternative. That would provide the specificity strength of a folder location without moving tasks into a folder.
Not to go too far astray, but on the topics of tags... As of v0.1.1. if I want to add multiple tags in the dialogue, I can, but only the first triggers the autocomplete function. If I do change my workflow to create tags for each project, autocomplete for all tags would be very helpful.
Thanks for letting me know about the tag autocomplete. I will file another issue for that.
I'll consider the select-link idea. Thanks 🙂
By select-link do you mean select tasks which contain a link to a specific note?
Yes. The link could be inline (same block as the task) or YAML I suppose
