Client/Project List: "New" & "Numbered" icons

In the Client/Project List (second column) I've chosen to show the small icons that count the number of Incomplete To Dos, Running Timers, or Unpaid Invoices. When I click on an icon I'm taken to the To Do, Timer, or Invoice window with the filter set to that project. In the title area there is, for instance:

To Dos : Outstanding To Dos : (Project Name)

I am constantly clicking on the Project Name to take me back to its page. Of course, it doesn't work and I have to go through a series of clicks and windows to get there. I'd like that Project Name to be a button that takes me to the Project -- probably the Project Overview window.

 

Also, regarding those numbers, they do not correlate to the order of the New buttons for each of those items. That is, we have these icons: New Timer - New To Do - New Invoice

But the order of display for the numbers is: Unpaid Invoices - Running Timers - Incomplete To Dos.

That's confusing.

  Thank you for the feedback. We have fixed the order of the buttons/numbers so that it will go for buttons (Logs, Timers, Todos) and for numbers (Invoices, Timers, Todos).

  In regards to the filters for other areas of the app and clicking on a project/client name, I understand what you're saying and we are looking for a solution to this. The reason why they currently act as they do is that if you add additional filters (such as a search string, dates, etc) that filter will be shown after the project/client name in the filter bar. Clicking on the project/client then would clear out the filter shown after the project/client. What we may do is have the button clear filters below it if there are any, and if there are not, it will take you to that client/project.

  Actually check that, the project/client can only be displayed as a filter for those sections, and if there is a search/date filter entered then it will display "Multiple Filters". Because of this, the Client/Project button would never clear any other filters, so it can simply always take you to the associated client/project. We'll change the behavior for the next update.

  I'll look forward to it, thanks.

  I have to admit I often find myself wishing there were a back button that would just return me to the previous view in that third pane.

  Beyond that, I really appreciate how responsive you have been in answering questions and concerns that have been addressed in these forums.
