Oh, and one important thing... ...thinking about it now - it's clear to me, that I will have to use stars for this, and dedicate some maintenance time to remove the stars from recently completed recurring tasks...
...which is where the second part of the problem with handling reccuring tasks comes - reccuring tasks with recently completed reccurance don't show up on the recently completed list! They only show on the recently modified list, where they are mixed together with all other modifications to the tasks, so it is not possible to simply select the recently completed tasks from that list either. Anyways, I will test drive this and see how it goes. As I generally tackle tasks only once they are past due, it might be possible to filter out recurring tasks with future due date and unstar those.
