I did send official feedback for this about a month ago, but now I want to know what others are thinking about this...
I have a project folder that has two projects:
- one has one overdue task ('1' in red)
- another has one 'due soon' task ('1' in orange)
when the parent folder is collapsed, that folder only shows up with a
count of '1' in red, loosing the 'due soon' count.
A similar thing happens with the badges in the dock and menu bar icons.
The due soon count gets replaced with the overdue count.
I came to like these badges, but I need to know I can trust them. It doesn feel right when my due soon items suddenly disappear from the badge count, because another action in the folder is now due.
One could argue that I should get rid of the overdue item first!, but I still want to know about due soon items without needing to expand all my folders.
i'm not sure what the behavior should be. Two badges in the sidebar view ('1' red and '1' orange together) would probably look quite ugly, but better than losing my orange count on the project (?).
the dock icon could carry all counts though (including the inbox, like iGTD did). but I'm not sure what would be best for the sidebar badges...
