Clearing processed tasks from the inbox automatically
susheelsamuel says:
i send all my tasks to my inbox when i perform a mind dump.
i don't add tags, locations, due dates etc till the next time I'm really free.
when i do, the tasks will be picked up by the corresponding smartlist.
as this happens, is it possible to delete the task from the inbox automatically? if it isn't, can you please tell me the best approach to achieve this? I'd like to keep my inbox as clutter-free as possible and i don't want to move the tasks manually unless there's a better option.
thanks! :)

All tasks must belong to a regular list, the Inbox being the most obvious one. They can also belong to one or more smart lists according to the smart list criteria. In order to clear the Inbox, you must move it to another regular list. This can't be done automatically however, you need to do this for each task, maybe in bulk.
Instead of moving each task to another list to keep the Inbox emtpt (GTD methodology) I gave up and let my tasks stay in the Inbox. But to work on my task list, I use only smart lists. I have a script letting me hide the Inbox so it's no problem.
