Mac app - Sync vs Refresh?
Pressing Cmd-R to do a Sync, strangely doesn't do the same thing as pressing the reload/refresh/sync symbol in the bottom right of the window.
e.g. complete a task, it goes grey. If you press Cmd-R nothing happens. If you click the button, the task gets hidden.

Hello Martin,
This is possible as Cmd+R may only "soft refresh" a page while Cmd+Shift+R should perform a "hard refresh" (a force-reload) and that's what the sync button should do.
Best regards,

Why 2 types of refresh though?

Martin,
This is not a Todoist limitation, it's how refreshing works on every web page - a regular refresh just reloads it and a "hard refresh" re-reads the whole page regardless of how it's been cached. We've chosen to implement the hard refresh option for the reload button to make sure it will reload the page completely.
Best regards,
David
