I have filters for tasks. As I also use the todo tag for things i want to read and watch, I additionally tag those tasks with “article-queue” and “video-queue” respectively.
For some reason filtering for these tasks (i.e. showing only these tasks) works fine. But excluding these from all my other task lists doesn’t. I am trying to build a query that acts as an “inbox”. It should exclude tasks that have priorities set, are on the page “templates” and those that reference all pages that end with “-queue” or rather “-stapel” as I actually named them.
As I stated, positive filtering works fine. As soon as I wrap the OR condition with not, the conditions in the OR statement are ignored, it simply lists all tasks in my database.
Here’s what I used:
Tasks lacking metadata:
{{query (and (task NOW LATER DOING IN-PROGRESS TODO) (not (or (priority A B C D) (page [[template]]) "-stapel")))}}
Without the NOT it shows precicely what I would expect.
Ideally it would also filter out those tasks that have a scheduled date assigned to them.
And since I have your attention: Subtasks clutter my lists aswell. If you know any means to filter those out, let me know!
