Hi,
We will do a research on this feature. Thank you very much for your suggestion.
We could then define and save one single filter that selects and hides certain things (e.g. hides low priority and someday tasks) and we could then apply that filter to any project or context or goal etc that we have chosen in the left menu. In other words, we would first click the desired list in the left menu and then click the filter.
Such filters would save a lot of work and also a lot of space in the left menu. It might even become a "killer feature". For example, if we often want to look at our projects in a certain filtered way (and perhaps regrouped/sorted) we would only need to define that particular filter once, and it would then work on any existing or future project, and it would take up only one line in the left menu.
(As it is now, to accomplish the same thing, we would have to create a new filter for each new project we create; we would have to have a filter list as long as the list of projects; and we would have to change each single one of these filters whenever we decide that the filtering criteria should be adjusted; in other words, it is not practically workable.)
(As a practical add-on you might want to consider introducing user preferences for automatic filtering by default, e.g to automatically use FilterA for Projects, FilterB for Goals, FilterC for Contexts etc. This would mean, in reality, that we would be able to design our own customized view for each type of list, without having to click even a single button. Instead, there could be an "escape" button to "revert to full/standard list view" if such default filtering is in place.)

For example, one very frequent desire I have would be to see only - when looking at a Project or Context etc:
- the red and blue (priority) tasks in Next (i.e. things that I am likely to consider later again today)
- the red and blue (priority) tasks in Waiting (i.e. things that I am expecting to be "delivered" to me maybe today)
- all tasks of all colors (priorities) in Today (i.e. whatever I have chosen to focus on now, regardless of its priority)
Combined, these are a handy list of the most "useful" things in any given Project or Context for me to look at often. It would be very handy to be able to define this as a "general filter" that I can reuse on any Project or Context (or Goal).
Is this something we can expect to be implemented? -

Yes.
It is not an easy feature for us to make it. We will do a research on this feature. It may not be made in near future.
Best regards,

Thank you for researching. It is perhaps not an easy feature to implement, but if it is doable I am sure it will be very useful. From my understanding it is very common that people have the same filtering needs that virtually all their lists - if they want it for one project they will need it for all their projects; if they want it for one context list they will want i for all contexts etc.
