Hello,
I joined Toodledo today and it appears to support most of my needs. One feature I'm looking for, however, I can't seem to find so I thought I'd ask. Is it possible to view tasks by cascading (nested) contexts? As an example, I'm looking to have the following contexts set up: Work Work / Online Work / Email Work / Phone Work / Boss Home Home / Online Home / Email etc I'd like, on the contexts view, to be able to click on the single 'Work' or 'Home' header, and see all tasks assigned to sub-contexts (so clicking on 'Work' will show 'Work / Online', 'Work / Email', etc). I've tried different dividers - '/', '-', ':', '::', but none seem to be working. As a former user of OmniFocus who now needs multi-platform support, this feature would be great and would definitely have me purchasing the pro account for myself. Can anyone advise on whether it's possible, or how I could perhaps do a similar thing? Thanks in advance for your time. Jonathan. |

By creating a search which matches on the specific contexts I want, I've been able to get this working almost as specified as above.
As it requires exact matching on the contexts, if I add a new subcontext - e.g. 'Work :: Training', I need to manually update the search (error prone). If there's a generic way of having this done automagically, that would be great. Any ideas? |

Nested contexts and tags would be useful, but they are not implemented as such.
What I have done instead is I have chosen to use Tags, as these have more varieties of search critera available, and then I have my searches include the line "Tag contains Work". This message was edited Dec 15, 2011. |

There is an easier way to do it,
enable locations - and set one as Work and one as Home. This way you can sort by context when viewing one location. |
