Last week, Matt Gemmell included six searches when he shared his OmniFocus-inspired TaskPaper theme. I noticed that the “Next Actions” search includes the first line of the project, even if it’s a note.
Next Actions @search(project *//((not @done\) and (not @search\)\)[0])
I usually have a line or two of notes in my projects in Things, so this wouldn’t work if I need to display the single next task for each project.1
The following change adds the desired item type, which means the next task (not note) will be displayed for all of your projects:
Next Actions (improved) @search(project *//((not @done\) and (not @search\) and (@type = task\)\)[0])
You can see more details on Formatting Queries in the TaskPaper User’s Guide.
- I’m migrating from Things to TaskPaper 3. More to come about that process in the next post. ↩
