Sorry about the no answer on the thread...must have missed the question.
The only solutions I have come up with would be to add a few possible options (ps. I do not believe in making a 100% change to any program, but just adding a possibility for those who may desire it...so when I say option ...I really mean option).
1. The first choice option that I would love to see is to have a choice to make it so a project automatically becomes active when a new task is added. This would most likely cause some people grief..but for some like myself it would be a the best choice.
--When clipping, It could be as simple as a dialogue box that pops up if a project is on hold when you try to add a task. It could ask "do you want to make this project active"?, and we could answer yes or no. It could have a simple "do not ask me again"checkbox if the question doesn't fit into your workflow.
2. A filter setting that could hide stalled projects (even though they are active) would also do the trick.
3. Even just a grouping filter "has tasks" would work.
Overall, I am just trying to hide all of these projects that I am waiting on others to do their part.
This is what I have come up with so far.
Thanks for any help (and attempts at help that I may have unintentionally overlooked).
