Hi there, thanks for answering Lisa, your comments are always welcome!! :)
I could create a view for "WaitingforItems" for which I could then filter out all the task that do not contain @waintingfor, that's almost fine but then again, @Work will be there containing a humongous list of amorfous items... I know I could find a workaround like the one described by Neal, but even though this could solve my problem, I'm in need of more powerful filtering capabilities that either aren't built-in or I don't know how to use the available ones. Regarding your suggestion, I do want a view for each person but I need to view waitingfor items separated from "agendas" items... need to see those items grouped by context in order to be ready for a one to one with that person (agendas + waitingfor) or if I just bump into him/her in the corridor (waiting+for). it just feels overwhelming if I can't switch off certain context of my list once I have a view created. I know I could collapse "@Work" but there are other context that I also need to make disappear and I don't wish to do that manually. I can not be that complicated, right? As an example: Fred has to buy tickets to London (@waitingfor, @Work, #Fred) Ask Fred about project status report ppt (@agendas, @Work, #Fred) Call Fred about her sister's operation (@calls, #Fred) I do want to see ONLY things that I have outstanding with Fred Filter out not containing #Fred --> then group by context #Fred - Fred has to buy tickets to London - Ask Fred about project status report ppt - Call Fred about her sister's operation @calls - Call Fred about her sister's operation @agendas - Ask Fred about project status report ppt @waitingfor - Fred has to buy tickets to London (@waitingfor, @Work, #Fred) @Work - Fred has to buy tickets to London - Ask Fred about project status report ppt @Work there sort of disctracts my attention. Neal's workaround could work here but in other situations it wouldn't and I would lose the hability to run filtering queries including @Work in the future. Any idea? sorry for the extension of my answer thanks, On 1 Juny, 22:31, Lisa Stroyan <[email protected]> wrote: > At 01:07 AM 6/1/2010, you wrote: > > >I guess no news are bad news :( > > I don't know of any way to say "group by context but don't show these > contexts in the grouping", which I think is what you are looking for. > > What is your high level goal, and are you interested in other ways to > accomplish it?
