I does not use it anymore. But when I was a yokadi noob I use it. It's clearly 
a feature to help new users. When you only manage 10 tasks in yokadi the 
project notion is useless and counterproductive. When you manager hundreds of 
tasks it is just mandatory ;-).

Well after the magic perl answer, we could have the KDE one : make it an 
option ;-). 
A config parameter should indicate if we use the default project (the actuel 
default project name could be set to None de deactivate it). When it is 
desactivated, the ":" are optionnal, the first word is always the project 
name.

Quite funny ;-)

I would prefer the option described above with : or nothing. If you don't like 
it, let's try the prefix.
