"Request for Comments" brainstorming tickets for things we are unsure about
I sometimes could benefit from realizing how long ago a task has been opened/created, and how many other tasks it blocks. GTG has this information (creation date) in its data file format but doesn't expose it anywhere. As for the blocked tasks, there probably is an easy way in GTG / liblarch to query how many levels of parent tasks are blocked by the currently displayed task, though that may be something that ought to wait until #737 / #553 is done.
For displaying the information, it might be simply using a text underneath the title text in the task editor's headerbar, using the
has-subtitle
andsubtitle
properties of the GTK HeaderBar widget, or theset_has_subtitle
&set_subtitle
functions. The text could say something like this:(with the "blocks X tasks" part being optional/generated only if necessary, and using ngettext for correct translation-friendly plurals, of course)
I'm not sure if this sort of feature is plugin material or a core feature, and the potential performance implications, so tagging this ticket as "plugins" just in case.
