Joe, here is how I would handle your situation: I would declare contexts like @Get, @Have, etc to be always closed. (see below for instructions on how to do this). Then, carefully think through which of your views should *include* the items with closed contexts (like a >Library view) and which views should *exclude* them (like a >NextAction view). If a task has more than one context, like @Get and @Grocery it will show up in both places - if @Get is hidden by reason of being closed that will not prevent the task from being displayed among the @Grocery items. Details: to mark a context "always closed" hit F8 to bring up the "Manage Contexts" popup. Find a context in the left pane and highlight it. In the right pane confirm that the selected context name is shown at the top and then click on the Hours tab. click the AlwaysClosed button and then the Close button at the bottom. To reverse the effect follow the same procedure but hit the "Always Open" button instead. To exclude closed contexts from a view, ensure that the view details pane is showing at the left of your screen. (If it's not, hit alt/f1 to bring it up). Ensure that the pane says "Views" at the top. (If it has a view name, click the view name to bring back the list of views). Find a view you want to configure (like >Library, or create one if necessary) and click it to bring up the view definition. Find a section named Contexts and click to expand it. At the end of the Contexts section see a checkbox called "include closed" - check it to include your closed contexts, clear the checkbox to exclude them. -Dwight -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
