At this point, I say “Try it”. Ignore the following, but I’m thinking that if you filter out #TimeFrame contexts, at best you won’t get them grouped the way you like. And at worst, you won’t see them listed at all, even if they have an @people. Try it, though. Again, I return to that from a human point-of-view the contexts #Today and @Person are two different things. But to a computer they are both contexts. So I sense you’re forcing a square peg into a round hole and do better to use flags, text tags or captions to perform another duty for you.

The #Timeframe could be selected to not show up, and the @People show up. Not sure if that works however.

HOW I’D PROBABLY DEAL WITH IT: I’d either not use contexts for both people and dates, or else create two views: one grouped by dates and one grouped by people. I don’t like that approach though; I hate switching views. DETAIL: Doubled “somethings” has always been a problem for me, not just in this software but others. In all cases I eventually throw in the towel and find a way to harness the power of something else. I don’t think it applies to your situation, but one additional trick I use that you didn’t mention is including the PERSON, in caps in the caption, and somehow filtering for caption. Again, different situation. I use contexts for time, not place. So when I want to do something in my Dudley office, I include DUDLEY in my caption, and my Winchester view filters out any caption containing DUDLEY.

I don't use folders , but use contexts instead of folders as putting tasks in folders is a huge pain in android. however, i'm having difficulting filtering the tasks by contexts and grouping by contexts I have @ for people and also #Today #this week #later as well.. i have a filter that shows me @People and then the #Today and #This Week I would like to see the group by contexts so i can group by '#today and #whats next week. currently the results are doubled, 1 for #time and 1 for @people would the filter by child help? I am using text tags and the flags function already for other purposes. I am 'powering using' contexts in replace of folders because android isn't very friendly to moving tasks around.

You can't sort by Context, as that field can have more than one value. Group by Context makes a result appear under whatever Contexts you have assigned to it, so it can appear multiple times. Because you're using Contexts for more than one category of "thing" - eg people and places, I can't think of a way of filtering and grouping to solve your problem. Just one suggestion: Have you considered using Flags or Text Tags to list the people involved in a task, instead?

I've moved all people based contexts to start with a # and left other types with an @ What I'd like to do is create a view that will just return the # people (I'm going to call it...people). Now I've got the basic part working (advanced filter, ContextsText starts with '#') but I still get groups with the other contexts underneath ie if I had a task such as Ring person A #PersonA @Phone I get an @Phone block at the bottom of my view as well as the #PersonA one at the top. Normally this is the behaviour you'd want but the point of this view is only for when I'm in people mode, the @ contexts aren't relevant. Obviously this is just me wanting a perfect view (imagine having to just ignore the groups at the bottom, terrible!) but hey, why not, is there any way around it? PS I've tried blocking @ but that takes them out of the # groups as well Thanks, Edd -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
