hide old closed tasks

[mkay82]

It'd be great to change option 'hide_done' from boolean to int and have ability to see recently closed tasks only. It'd be very handy for big projects, which last for months or years with hundreds of tasks in that time. In such projects, we need to track recently closed tasks, but we don't need (and even more: we don't want;>) to see tasks closed weeks ago.

So that int value could represent one of:
a) simpler version: X recently closed tasks, (task with status closed ordered by last modify time descending limit X)
b) more advanced version: tasks closed in last X days (or maybe hours for more flexibility to others), so user could set something like 'show tasks closed in last 48hours' (value=0 could represent infinity)

Currently we see all closed tasks and additionaly there're sorted by prio, so it's impossible to track what was done lately in current project;/

thanks for adding that feature to v3 roadmap.

in meantime i've created small patch, which is rather a hack than well written code (well - as i've already wrote somewhere else - i do not know ruby at all;/), but it works for me. Maybe you'll be interested in adding it to stable-v2 repo (maybe with some modifications...).

this patch makes exactly what i've described in my initial post and additionaly it adds posibility to define default grouping in config file.

here's the code:
