            Bug ID: 474169
           Summary: Add an option for better managing unfinished tasks
                    which have a passed due date
    Classification: Applications
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 5.22.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: agendaview (weekview)
          Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: alexandre.bonn...@linuxfr.eu
  Target Milestone: ---

Currently, the incomplete tasks that have a passed due date are moved at the
top of the weekview as soon as you 'force' an update of that weekview (i.e.
going to next week and back).

The positioning of the tasks are their due date is _critically important_ if
you want to be able to organize your days. Therefore, moving the unfinished
task to the current day is not good.

Now, since it's still not possible to select multiple tasks and move them in
one go, it means that if you fail to complete a bunch of tasks during the
previous days, all those unfinished tasks will be stacked at the top of the
current day, and if there are many:
- it can be very difficult and sometimes impossible to select one in particular
to be able to move it to another day in the future
- it's impossible to get an overview of which tasks were failed when in the
previous days, since they have been moved to the current day, whatever was
their due date

To circumvent this annoying behavior, it would be great to have an option:
- To keep this existing behavior (since it's has been like this for 17+ years)
- To keep the unfinished tasks at their due date/time place in the agenda view,
but color them in a specific way (without removing their tag color) and/or add
a very visible 'Due date passed'-icon. Perhaps here make the tasks background
hashed with a variation of the tag color?, or change the task opacity to 60%?
Which ever is best design-wise and that insure legibility.

The goal of this being to be able to get a clear view of what was missed, and
what needs to be rescheduled, and with an added benefit of being able to select
those tasks more easily.
Also in the future when we'll be able to select and move multiple tasks in one
go, it'll greatly help.
