Task Board v1.9.0 :tada:

Ill keep this description short, because there are too many features and enhancements to talk about in this version. But I think the section which will instantly grab your attention is the “Experimental Features section”, especially the Unique Kanban Swimlanes feature. These were the reason why it took a little too long to release this version. Next version will be released sooner if there are no issues in the experimental features.

New Features :wrapped_gift:

  • Custom statuses : A new setting section to configure custom statues their mapped actions and other configurations. Or import from Tasks plugin.
  • All pending tasks : A new type of column, All pending tasks, to handle all the filtering part inside the Advanced column filtering. Now the things are possible with advanced column filters which were not possible earlier with other column types.
  • Duplicate boards to create new boards with ease.
  • A new setting to change the task card style : Emoji style and Bases card style.
  • A new way of selectively showing/hiding specific property inside the task card, inspired from bases design.
  • Work limit : Set work limit to few column types and get alerts on exceeding the limit.
  • Two new settings to automatically populate completion date and cancelled date when task status changes.
  • Drag and re-arrange child tasks inside Add or Edit task modal to change the work order.
  • Log manager : Task Board will now store logs like errors and warnings in a log file for future debugging. And a button in setting to export the logs.
  • Auto scan the externally modified files : Any files modified externally (sync or editor) will be automatically picked up.
  • True Real-time mode : A new setting to select the scanning mode type. “Real-time” mode will scan changes instantly.

Experimental Features :man_scientist:

  • Drag and drop cards from one column to another.
  • Manual order sorting : Change the order of the tasks with in a column by drag and drop.
  • Kanban Swimlanes with two different UI formats.

Hi, plugin really looks great, but I don’t know whether I got the filtering right, because it shows me every todo in every file, even if I only scan one dedicated file?! in the task scan I can see all files and not only the one I want. Or are my settings are wrong?

Based on the settings, it looks like Task Board should now only scan the single file, ToDos/ToDos.md. I hope you have re-scanned the whole vault from the top right corner button in the board. This will re-build the whole cache inside the plugin, so all the other note’s tasks are removed from the cache.

The option provided for each note in the file menu, “Scan tasks from this file”, is simply to scan the note again, incase it wasnt scanned properly by Obsidian. But to re-build the cache, will need to re-scan the vault.

If the re-scanning didnt solved the issue, that means, there is some issue here. It will be a great help, if you can re-produce this issue in a test vault and send the test vault as zip, either here or on the GitHub ticket.

Thank you for the feedback!
