How can I dissociate the location from the task cloud?.

ramiak says:
The problem is that I have many tags and many lists, but few locations, so most tasks get assigned to two locations. The result is that those two locations are overblown on the task cloud, while eveything else (tags and lists) are equally small. How can I get rid of the location from the task cloud?

I'm in the same boat on this, and would love to see a way to get locations out of the cloud. I have a tag 'home' and a location 'home' and the duplication bugs me every time I look at the cloud.

I found a workaround: minimize the use of locations as much as possible. I have a Work list, a Personal list, and a House list (things I need to do on the house). By default, things I enter on the work list are to be done at work, on the other two lists at home. The only time I enter a location is when I need to do something out of place, e.g. if I have place a personal phone call during business hours when I am at work, I enter this in the personal list and associate it with location work. The clouds are now more reasonable. If I want to find things to do at work, I search for

"(list:Work and (not location:Home)) or location:Work"

I can save this as a smart list called locWork
same for home
