Description
Smart folders need to account for more conditions. At a minimum, one should be able to query data in any column that I add.
Updates
Additional comment on this feature request: Tying user-added columns to smart folders would enable users to implement one crucial feature of GTD that is somewhat awkward to do with Mori's current set-up: the ability to view next actions and projects separately, and have them synchronized. It would make sorting actions by context easier too.
Smart folder access to custom attributes is certainly on the list. I hope that it will make it into version 1.2. The model layer supports this an a bunch of other things I just haven't had time to build a GUI to access these features yet.
In the case of GTD there is another way to do what you want now. Using aliases (know as clones in the old MORE outliner) you can make an entry (really an entry hierarchy) exist in multiple places in your notebook at once. So for example each project can have a list of actions, and then you can also alias some of these actions to a daily todo list. These two collection are synchronized, if you change the contents of an aliased action then the change is efficiently propagated to all other aliases.
Smart Folder conditions should also include Kind (Folder, Note, Bullet).

In order to have an automatic actionable, or next action filter for items it would be useful to allow smart folders to filter by whether an item has children or not.

This is now possible in Mori 1.2
