"Focus" available when making filters

It would be really useful to be able to make a filter, including the possibility to only show a certain focus. E.g. I want to make a filter showing all Tasks that are: "Status uncompleted, Priority High OR Medium, within a specific context ("at work", etc.), AND FOCUS TODAY OR NEXT".

That way I can see things I actually have to work on, hiding the "tomorrow, scheduled, somedays and waitings".

Wendy,

It is fine that you are considering improving the saved filters. If you compare with Toodledo or Remember the Milk you will see how powerful they can be for making custom lists. But it is also a bit troublesome to have ling lists of such saved filters, and to have them located far down the menu etc.

So, while you are thinking about filtering, please do not forget the even more common types of filtering, ad hoch quick filtering of the list in front of you. Simple things like being able to hide tasks with a particular tag would be extremely useful. This could be implemented, say, as alt-clicking the tag. And so on.

Very often you do not need to save these kinds of filters.

Hi,

About the filter,we will consider it seriously. I agree that it is also a bit troublesome to have ling lists of such saved filters, and to have them located far down the menu etc.

Q:Simple things like being able to hide tasks with a particular tag would be extremely useful.
A: I am sorry that I could not understand you well. Now you can hide the filters on web version in Preferences page. Do you mean that you want to hide the tasks? Could you tell me why?
