Task Graveyard, Move Done Tasks

[focccus]

Currently I do have the problem that with many tasks as well with recurring tasks it is quite cluttered and hard to visually comprehend what is up next.

I would propose a "Task Graveyard", one configurable file in the vault where all the finished tasks go, similar to what was suggested here #375.

One could even go further and automatically generate headings based on the date it was finished.

If I find time, I try to implement this myself and open a pull request.

Hey @focccus, thank you for the idea 👍

This reminds me of these plugins - I haven't used them so don't know how well they work:

• https://publish.obsidian.md/hub/02+-+Community+Expansions/02.05+All+Community+Expansions/Plugins/obsidian-task-archiver
• https://publish.obsidian.md/hub/02+-+Community+Expansions/02.05+All+Community+Expansions/Plugins/obsidian-task-collector

Thanks I will look at those, these seem pretty powerful

If one or both of them work well, we could probably link to them from our documentation. Have you had a chance to try them @focccus?

Have you had a chance to try them

Yes the archiver pretty much promises exactly what I want(except it being a command), but seems to have a few issues(some options don't work)

Task Collector does far more with additional task types and custom context menu actions. For now I am using that for simply moving done tasks to a new heading, it is far more popular as it seems.

Cool. If you have the time, it would be really nice to get a short write-up of how you use it, so that we could add that to our documentation. Or you even add it yourself and create a PR 😁

I would love to have options to configure what to do with "Done" tasks, like:

• move to top of header section
• move to bottom of header section

and the header section that's configurable.

Examples:

• Move "Done" tasks to end of "# Log"
• Move "Done" tasks to top of "## Things I checked off today"

Funnily enough, there is an open pull request to add this plugin to the Community plugins:

https://github.com/therden/packrat

it does much of what you suggest.
