Thank you for you answer.

I see no problems with files I do not put in a project: when I open them,
their tasks appear, when I close them they tasks disappear.
Eric is not a task manager, so it should not try to act as a task
repository: if the file is open I'm interested in its tasks.
"Global task" to me means only a task that is extracted from a file not
belonging to the project.

I think we should simply run the task-extractor when opening a file. When a
project is opened we run through all files and run the task-extractor
irrespective of the status of the file (opened or closed).
When closing a file we have to remove its tasks only if it does not belong
to the project.

I'm going to look at the code to see if I can come with a concrete proposal.
