I make extensive use of the archive function, to keep my current
database reasonably lean, especially for usage on mobile devices. This
situation is handled as your option 2. MLO use the Task ID for
identification of which task is which, and where a new task should be
but in the hierarchy. The Task ID is kept the same when a task is moved
or copied to an archive (i.e., it is really the same task, not only a
copy). During the archiving operation, all in the archive already
existing parents to the tasks that are archived are updated. Other tasks
that may exist in both files remain unaffected.
Keeping of the Task ID during archiving also means that internal links
that you may have placed in the notes field still work if both tasks
(the one with the link and the one with the referrer) are copied/moved
to an archive, which I find very useful.

Has anybody worked out how archiving handles the situation where you
change the name of a parent after some of its tasks have been archived.
Ie if you have a situation like this
Parent Task
Child Task 1
Child Task 2
Child Task 3
And you then complete Child Task 1 which then gets archived (with its
parent).
And then you change the name of the parent so you now have:
Parent Task with new name
Child Task 2
Child Task 3
And then at some subsequent point you mark Child Task 2 done and it
gets archived.
What does MLO do:
1.Archive Child Task 2 under Parent Task and not change the parent
tasks name
2.Archive Child Task 2 under Parent Task and change its name to
reflect the new name
3.Create a new parent with a new name and archive Child Task 2 under
the new name
I think my preferred option would be 2 (because it is still the same
parent and I would want the archive to track what was happening my
live database) but it would be interesting to know.
