Hi,

I just installed and opened OF, and I get a default "Projects" folder. I'd like to get rid of it, as everything is going to be within this folder, so it is redundant.

I'm not sure if this folder is a real default (I don't see it in the introductory video), or I created it by accident when I imported a kGTD document in a previous build.

Anyway, I can't get rid of this folder, nor can I create anything at its same level (i.e. all the folders, projects, tasks, ... get into this "Projects" folder)

Any idea?

It's to distinguish projects from the inbox.

It's intentional, but it only appeared a week or two ago, hence it wasn't in any earlier videos.

The inbox will appear at the same level—presumably you're not seeing that because it's empty. Add something to your inbox, and see if you like it. I don't think it's removable in the current builds.

I liked the divider line better. I don't quite get the point of putting everything into a mandatory folder that cannot be removed, and cannot have any siblings.

It's to allow you to see a grouped view of all your projects and their actions. I find it quite useful.

If you have a lot of projects, as I do the Projects Folder is great. It is an ideal location to click and have all your projects selected at once.

When this folder did not exist, and the pane is full of projects right to the bottom, I could not find a space anymore to click to select all projects.

Thanks for the replies,

Ok, now I see the point of this folder. However, as AmberV says, I'm still not 100% sure of its utility. I'll see after a heavier use of the app, I guess.

From a pure aesthetic point of view, I liked the divider line too.
