We simplified away some of the filters because they were actually quite complex in the source code and causing bugs. However, if you set the amount of hours to consider tasks due soon to 7*24 in the preferences dialog and you hide all tasks except due soon tasks (using the View->Filter menu), you have your desired filter.

Steve, to clarify: set "number of hours that task is considered to be due soon" to 168 in the preferences. Then all tasks due within 7 days will be marked due soon. You can now do an easy filter too: add the "due soon" option to the customizable toolbar in the tasks viewer, and after that is set, shift-click on the orange-ball-with-the-x will show only tasks due soon.

It does work, I just tested it. If there is something you know is buggy, add a bug at https://sourceforge.net/p/taskcoach/bugs

You really want this feature request though: https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/342012-filter-tasks-and-efforts-by-date-range

Cheers
