I guess I don't understand why "full hierarchy" in OmniFocus only applies to folders. To me, a full hierarchy would include...well...the full hierarchy of the library. Action groups should be part of that hierarchy because they're actually just projects that happen to be children of other projects.

The way it is now, confusing situations can arise. For example, I have two projects for editing two different home movies:

Edit Home Movies (Project)
---> Home Movie 1 (Action Group)
---> Home Movie 2 (Action Group)

The problem is that when I switch to context view, I will see an action such as this:

Action: Edit the movie
Project: Edit Home Movies

Which movie does that action apply to? There's no way to tell unless I jump back to planning mode. If OmniFocus would display the "full" hierarchy, including action groups, it would be obvious. For example:

Action: Edit the movie
Project: Edit Home Movies : Home Movie 1
