In one sense I think these are different names for the same thing: Containers.
But not all tweaks are available for all of these. A project can be put on hold. An action group cannot, and they appear differently.
It also appears that Folders can contain folders or projects, but not actions.
Projects don’t seem to be able to contain folders for projects, but can have action groups.
Action groups don’t seem to be able to contain anything but actions and action groups.
So:
- Folder::Folder|Project
- Project::Action|Action group
- Action group::Action|Action group
So it would seem if life is messy, start out with a couple layers of folders, then put projects inside them.
Now: What are the criteria that people use to decide where to make the break between a folder and a project?
