[Tb] TinderDo sample file

Hello,

This is similar to a problem I posted about a few weeks ago.

Basically when you use agents to gather you get a one deep structure
meaning that any context that the item had would be lost. For instance
having a structure like:

    Project1
        UserInterface
            Add a checkbox in preferences

Gathering the to do leaves me with just Add a checkbox in preferences.

To get round this you almost have to add the context in the title 'Add a
checkbox in preferences for Project1, which feels redundant to me.

I'd like a link to the original item so I can instantly get context, or
another way of visually seeing that context. Currently I have a project
attribute where I type in the name of project, but I feel this is more
effort than it should be.

I would just add a Owner attribute where you can enter a persons name.
Then use agents to gather by owner.

Yes me too, as this is my main application of Tinderbox.
