I would like to migrate to Toodledo from Mac app Cultured Code Things.

I realize there are ways to sync Things to iCal and MobileMe and sync from there to Toodledo, bue this appears to only work for a single category.

Ideally I'd like to export in csv or XML in a way that preserves projects and perhaps converts to folders. If I purchase toodledo pro would like projects to convert subtasks.

Any nonpainful way to do this? I'd even convert to intermediate web app or Omnifocus or some other app if there is a clean path to migrate.

Thanks in advance.

Of course I researched the wiki and forums.

This extract is plain text and loses all structure and format, just a long flat monotype list with dashes. not good.

Ideal looking for simple script that maps into compatible XML format that works - my existing file is larger than 2mb so that causes problems too though not sure if it would be compat anyway.

Thanks, looking forward to hearing any other ideas...

I am not aware of a way to export from Things to Toodledo. If Things offers a CSV export option then our CSV importer will work. In the future we would like to have an importer for the Things datafile, but we don't have an ETA for this feature.

If you search the forums, I believe someone did post some code to do this some time ago.
