Yes, you are right about that. I did discover the need to disable archiving for recurring tasks with subtasks by hard experience. I was archiving tasks that had been completed for a week, and almost all of my recurring tasks got completed in less than a week.but every once in a while I would discover that done recurring task had been stripped of all the easy tasks and retained only the hard ones. I manually re- added a number of tasks before discovering that the missing tasks were living on the archive file and then figured it out. Someone on this forum advised me to use the do-not-archive flag and it worked.
In addition to recurring tasks, I disable archiving of tasks in any project. Part of project management it's knowing not just what you have to do but also what you have done. There's no point in computing what percent fone a project if, if you remove the completed tasks before computing. I proposed that subtasks of repeating tasks and of uncompleted projects be automatically excluded from archiving, but Andrey replied that he did not want to be receiving angry mail from people who wanted it to work as it does now. I proposed a seeing that would disable archiving of these tasks, but it did not get much support and hasn't been addressed. I understand your point about sandwiches but let me tell you about my screwdriver. In addition to driving screws it in also useful to pry things, puncture things and in a pinch, the top of the handle functions as a hammer. But if you tried to sell it under a generic, more descriptive name you would just confuse people. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
