Why is starring tasks not supported?
The current mechanism for starring tasks is to schedule them for Today, which has a very similar effect to starring in other UIs. If you schedule a task for today, the task will stand out as blue and always show (i.e., have guaranteed visibility when the Task List is focused). If that’s too visible, you can schedule it for This Week, in which case the task will always show but not turn blue. The alternative to mark a shared task as outgoing by adding text into it and (e.g. “[review]”). The ougtoing change will also give the task guaranteed visibility. This is currently the only work-around for ‘starring’ completed tasks. The task-focused interface consider tasks orthogonal to resources (e.g., files and web pages). Resources make sense to star/bookmark, since their primary residence is in some structural hierarchy (e.g. folders or a type hierarchy). Starring provides a mechanism for locating the most relevant parts of a large hierarchy (at the cost of having our starred/bookmark lists b
