Hi Christian, Yes this is intended behaviour (sort of). Remember mode is designed for one task three per filing operation. I think it files multiple tasks in the default save configuration but if you file to a target only the first task is filed. To work around this I would either invoke remember multiple times, one for each task or provide a parent task to hold your multiple TODO entries like this * TODO refile task ** TODO Task 1 ** TODO Task 2 then you refile the entire tree to the target destination.
