Description Jörgen Rapp CLA 2008-08-12 19:06:23 EDT
In the tasks view, (not mylyn) there is options to group by Type, would be nice to be able go group by task tag name as well.

Also it would be nice to have finer granularity of priorities, at least add Very high, very low like in mylyn's tasks, or a number 0-x where x>3.

Third, it could be nice to have a default menuitem in "Show" for all project specific tags that already exists...

Fourth, there is no way of setting task tags to completed(or they already are marked such), so the checkbox in configure contents don't do anything.

Sorry if this is not in UI, not sure where tasks should go.

For user-created tasks, this certainly works for me.

1. Right-click on 'Tasks' view > Add Task...
2. Enter a description, click 'OK'.
3. Right-click on the created task > Mark Completed

You are right about user tasks, but I am talking about the tags in the code comments (FIXME, TODO, et.c.). They appear as completed if you try to filter on them.

I understand that there is no meta data for them, but If they can only have one state I'd expect uncompleted (when they are completed I delete them from the code).

Anyway that is a minor issue for me.

I would like to see this as well in both the Markers and Task views. The "Java Task" bucket is simply too coarse grained.

Currently in Markers you get groupings like this:

> Java Exception Breakpoint (6 items)
> Java Problems (48 items)
> Java Task (701 items)
  FIXME x...
  [...]
  TODO x...
  [...]
  XXX x...
  [...]
> XML Problem (3 items)


By default, I'd like to see the Task Tags in grouped like either option 1 or 2:

Option 1 (at top-level by Task Tag):

> Java Task FIXME (25 items)
> Java Task TODO (275 items)
> Java Task XXX (401 items)

Option 2 (sub-grouped by Task Tag):

> Java Task (701 items)
  > FIXME (25 items)
  > TODO (275 items)
  > XXX (401 items)
