What does "library" mean in Project
 

Sorry, maybe a stupid question.
I found nothing about "library" in help and forum.

I have a folder Library (Bibliothek) and under it 16 projects starting with <Rückruf bei Frau Lorenz>
I dont't use OF for some months and I don't know what Library means and why there are the 16 projects without tasks.
Please can someone help me ?

It's just the container for all of your projects. Everything is either in the Inbox, or the Library.

Could you have completed all of the tasks for those projects? Change the view bar setting for Availability (the 4th setting from the left) to the first choice, which should show you all actions regardless of their status. If you see a bunch of actions appear in those projects, all marked completed, then maybe that is what happened. Or maybe you never put any actions in the projects?

OK and Thanks.
Normally if I would see something in a container I must open the container.
My thinking is then I should use the triangle > click on it to open the container ?

I think the 16 shown "projects" are no projects.
Thy are tasks or old tasks. Maybe I made a mistake in the past.
If I had completed the 16 projects or tasks I should see the symbol for completed ?
And you can see the context of "Rückruf bei Frau Lorenz" > Context > Büro(Office).
If I change to context view and look to context "Büro" there is nothing listed.

Don't think so — they wouldn't show up in the library unless they were projects. The red 1 you see next to each one is consistent with how OmniFocus counts overdue items; an empty project which is overdue will have a red 1 next to its name.

You have misunderstood what the context of a project means. It does not mean that all of the actions of the project will necessarily be in that context! However, if you create an action in that project, and do not assign a context to that action, it will receive the project's context. If you think about it for a moment, you'll realize that OmniFocus would be much less useful if all of a project's actions had to have the same context, which is what your comment implies.

You would only see the completed indication if you actually marked the project complete, or OmniFocus had done so for you. There is an option to have OmniFocus automatically complete projects and groups when you complete the last action. It's in the Data section of the preferences. Setting that option only affects projects and groups you make after you set it. To change the setting for an existing project or group, you use the inspector after selecting the project or group.
