When you edit a task or a task list aC automatically forwards you back to the relevant task list, but I almost always want to be/am looking at the full tasklist listing (i.e. the page you get when you hit "tasks" in the header) for a project, and so when I edit a task or tasklist it's frustrating that I'm taken to only the tasklist I changed.

The featured I'd like is that aC track what context you were in when you decided to edit a task and then brings you back there afterwards so you can keep working. I don't imagine that would be too hard (especially if it's just for this one situation of all tasklists or just the one tasklist), but if it is I think that having a setting of where to go back to in the options (all tasks or just one list) would have the same effect. I'd also be satisfied to just have the default behavior changed to "forward you back to a list of all tasklists for a project" but that would be just as bad for people who like the clean look of just one list (i think my server is slow so I hate switching pages).

On a related note, I think it would be helpful and not that confusing to add some links that offer similar functionality in the UI of tasklists. Like above the tasklist on tasklist pages there's a link that says "add task list", it would be great if on pages listing only one tasklist there was also a link that said "show all tasks" or "show all tasklists" that takes you to the full listing page. I know that someone can always click on the "tasks" tab at the top of the page, but keeping useful links inside the UI is probably a good idea as that's where people have their eyes (also, I always feel like going to the header is a big change, whereas showing all tasklists instead of one seems like a small change).

Another spot where this could be implemented is in the "open task list" sidebar that's always there on tasklist screens. A little link on the bottom that says "show all" when you're on a page listing only one of them would make sense in that context and be useful to someone who wants to see the full list.

Thanks for the great program, sorry that my post is so long and overuses the word "tasklist" so much, wanted to make sure I was clear :)
