GQueues Question

Does anybody know if GQueues categories (folders) are part of the hierarchy? Do they show all of the tasks in all of the queues nested under them when you click on the category icon? Or do they just hold the queues?

As far as I remember—it’s been a while since I used GQueues—they are only used to organise the Queues; they don’t show an overview of is below. However, I believe that you can use Smart Queues for what you want.

Ditto what Alexander said.
I haven’t used it for a while either but remember those smart queues being able to show custom views that crossed over different queues and hierarchy levels.
Though my recollection is that the smart queues can only show a flat list. So pretty much the same function of any other nesting task manager that can show filtered views. (My Life Organized, ToDoist, ToodleDo, etc).
I really enjoyed Gqueues, the google calendar integration was awesome. Great mobile app. I never understood why it never got more love. But I guess I’m not still using it either…. Probably because it was tied too closely to gmail and gcal and I wanted something more platform agnostic.

Thank you both for this information. I have tried not to just sign up to try out programs as I have more accounts than I care to admit. I have not explored the other features, like calendar integration, but this program reminds me an awful lot like RTM with respect to tags and subtasks.
Thanks,

It really is great software. One of the few platforms I actually used consistently for a long time. Which means it had very little friction, very well designed and executed.
One thing I forgot that it does really well was full TWO WAY google docs/cal/mail integration. The calendar is definitely a two way link, where moving the task/event on gcal would reflect that change in gqueues, but that also worked for gmail and docs too. So for someone fully committed to the google ecosystem, it’s a top notch solution.
