Eduard Metzger: that is right, a toggle filter would be nice for everything, just tasks, and tasks with a but of context. Collapsible is not nice to use because you have to catch several small areas on the screen with a mouse.
nopi: I got an idea now. We can transform the filters to support this. Step one is done: making existing entries editable. There's a lot missing, but I think that's an important part: - Show empty days, weeks and months in the filters (can be turned on and off) - Add new tasks to days, weeks and months with a "add task" button in the empty fields or at the bottom if there's an existing item. Then you could create filters for every view. In this screenshot is how it looks now (in the beta). Adding the missing parts would make it what we look for.
Eduard Metzger: I'd visually make the week look different, grey or so as in the backlinks. And make it completely editable, not jump to the weekly page upon the click. This jump is the main problem I have with the other Daily, Weekly, Quarterly, Yearly views. I seriously get lost when things jump around visually when I have several things in mind to enter and coordinate. I do have the current week on top in Daily view etc., but as soon as I click on the week, everything looks different. I'd much rather just drop a line where I click, and keep the view I have so I can continue with the next thing. I think this applies generally. It would be more convenient if in any view, also in the backlinks of notes, I would be able to edit the backlink as if it were a normal note. And use a different command to jump to the note/calendar note if I want this, maybe cmd-click. Or set the behavior in the preferences. I often avoid clicking a backlink to edit it. I rather leave it wrong and remember what else I wanted to do.
nopi: Yes, I'm also not quite satisfied with the design of the week. Got to play a bit with this. In the next version (and in the beta at the moment) at least the entries in the filters are editable now.
Thinking about this. I'm reading the Bullet Journal book and some of the layouts there make a lot of sense. They also have a monthly note, but it's split into two: One task page and one calendar page, which is basically all days of the month in a list and "showing" content from the "daily notes". You probably simply mean the same as 7-Day, but applied to other note types?
yes, to be able to view several weeks in a row in a 12-week view , similar to several days in a row in 7-day view. The quarterly or yearly note could be included with a toggle, or on the left in split view, and another split view for the project page. Then I could drag tasks to weeks without needing to go over the scheduler. Several-Calendar-Note-views of any kind would also make a nice journal view. I am using Noteplan also because it gives me a searchable plain text journal included in the planning functions. (Great would be eg. option-drag across note borders to make a synced line which would speed up reviewing and leave a nice trace of completion dates in project notes.) If (shift-option-)arrow-up/down/left/right would move the cursor (or the line) across note borders in such a view, one could navigate entirely by keyboard. Split view doesn't work that well with Calendar notes, it seems. I would expect if I click eg. in the right panel in split view and then choose 7-Day view, the right panel would show the 7-Day view, but it's not, the left page shows 7-day view and the current left page is lost. Maybe making such split screen setups saveable for planning sessions. Project note - current Week page - 7 Day view or similar.)
nopi: Good point on drag an drop, have noted it. The filter options could contain on/off buttons for the various calendar notes, so you could turn off days and see only months. I also tried 7-day in split view, it seems there's some bug that makes it switch. Will check this out. First step is to make the entries editable which is done and will ship in the next update. Then will make the other changes, so one could build views like the 7-day view, or as you said, 12-weeks.
One thing I don't like about the 7-Day view at the moment is that if you have a day with lots of tasks, the overview becomes less effective. But it works great for a few tasks in your list. Maybe we should condense the content if it's more than a few lines? Make it collapsible (has the same issue when expanded though).
