moving tasks from public to private task tab

Post by kdgdr »

Hello,

I have a ton of tasks in WEPIM, causing sync over wifi to take for ages.

As a solution I tried the following approach:
  • In WEPIM options, I have set private items to not sync.
  • In WEPIM, tasks that currently require my immediate attention were moved to task tabs that are set to public.
  • In WEPIM, tasks that are on hold were moved to tasks tabs that are set to private.
The goal was to always have a complete inventory of tasks in WEPIM, while only having tasks that currently require my attention in AEPIM. I was hoping for this to be very effective: move a task in WEPIM from a public to a private tab and it's gone in AEPIM after a sync over wifi.

Unfortunately, there seem to be 2 issues:
  • tasks that I move from public to private task tabs are not automatically deleted in AEPIM after a sync over wifi. Meaning I still have to manually remove each of these tasks in AEPIM - very ineffective.
  • as priorities change later on, when I move these tasks back from private to public tasks in WEPIM, they do not reappear in AEPIM after a sync over wifi - instead a sync over wifi deletes these tasks in WEPIM - very risky/dangerous and not effective.
FYI, these are my options for private items ...

... and for sync over wifi ...

Please change behavior so that
  • tasks automatically disappear in AEPIM after they are moved from public to private tabs in WEPIM
  • tasks are not deleted in WEPIM by a sync over wifi after they were moved back to public tabs in WEPIM
To reproduce:
  • create a public task tab in WEPIM
  • create a task on it in WEPIM
  • create a private task tab in WEPIM
  • 2-way sync over wifi
  • move task to private tab in WEPIM
  • 2-way sync over wifi - task is not gone in AEPIM
  • remove task manually in AEPIM
  • 2-way sync over wifi
  • move task back to public tab in WEPIM
  • 2-way sync over wifi
  • task does not reappear in AEPIM but is now deleted in WEPIM


Thanks in advance,
Kind regards
