[Show Quoted Text - 28 lines][Hide Quoted Text] This may be inconsistent but is inherently correct. Maybe I don't understand the permissions system ~~#4021~~, but ... In the portal block you have the option to show tasks from all lists, which includes lists with read but without show permissions. In the regular interface there is no such all option, you pick the displayed lists individually. And since non-show lists are not displayed, you cannot select them, even if you had read permissions. ... at no other place that I have found that you can select from all lists. I can see and read task that I did not create, from a task list that I can't select/deselct in the the nag block configuration and I don't have access to that task list at any other place. You can access task from task lists you can't see in nag, or the block configuration otherwise. So this is supprising from the users (the user that sees the task from an unkonwn other person and the person owning the task list, that all other users see the taks) point of view. This is changed between horde 3.3. and nag 2.3 and horde 5.2 and nag 4.2.

Maybe we should remove the all lists option from the block settings. What if we only show the user the tasks from non-show lists that he/she is the assignee on? I think this over-complicates things for a block that should just provide a summary. Once we have extended some the usage of assignees in Nag, it would make sense to add a separate block to only show assigned tasks.

Regarding the status feedback: Do you need my feedback or the feedback of other developers? Both. what do you mean by "remove the all lists option"? At the moment this Option is the default as no task list is selected by default. Exactly, but we could default it to display no task list, unless explicitly selected. IHMO I would use all lists that the users show perm for, if no list is selected. This would be the same as if the user had selected all lists he can select at that moment, but would autocratically include new lists/ list with new show perms. Re-thinking this over and comparing it with Kronolith, this may indeed be the most consistent behavior. It even explicitly reads there: "All Visible" as an option which is pretty unambiguous.

Nag does show task from task list in the summery portal block, for task lists where I have list perms (via creator perm_creator_4 = true) but no show perm. s/list perms/read perms/ In Nag these task and tasklist are not shown
