"Filtering" the Data Explorer pane to not display "completed" Info Items would be a significant change to Ultra Recall, this extended
forum thread discusses the topic and other related feature requests in much more detail (which are still being considered for a future version of Ultra Recall)...
Currently much of what has been requested is available in different ways, including:
1) If you change the flag value to
Completed, the item title of the Info Item will become greyed in all Panes (including the Data Explorer pane). While this is not strike-out text, it has some advantages (already implemented, easier to read, etc).
2) If the Info Items in question are displayed in the Related Items pane (either via Logical Linking or by running a search), you can sort on one or more columns (including the Flag column) which can easily place "Completed" Info items at the bottom of the list.
I know you have expressed a preference for this sorting to take place in the Data Explorer pane, but personally I find it is more convenient and useful to use both panes together for this very purpose.
3) While automating the deletion or moving of just Completed Info Items is not available (and could be useful), you can already make this process very efficient with a saved Advanced Search or two.
For example, if you want to routinely delete or move Completed Tasks, you can execute an Advanced Search that locates all Completed Tasks. Copy this search to an appropriate location, then run it whenever you want to delete or move your Completed Tasks, and move, copy or delete all the Info Items located in one step (just select some or all of them and delete or move as appropriate).
A couple notes:
- Running a search doesn't logically link anything, but a Saved Search could be considered virtual Logical Linking (it makes the located Info Items appear like logically linked in the Related Items Pane, however they do not show up in the Data Explorer pane as children).
- You can add or hide all columns in the Related Items Pane (your settings persist and can be reset as well), so you control whether the Flag column is visible or not in this pane).
