voo2do import broken?

I'm trying to move from voo2do - when I export the backup in XML format, it's reported to be too big to import in toodledo. So I open it in notepad, scroll down about halfway, and delete all the <task></task> tags, being careful to preserve the <xml> and <response/> tags. When I try to import, the import "succeeds", but no tasks are found.

Anyone else have success with voo2do importing? This seems to be pretty clearly a toodledo bug, at least as current instructions describe the process.

Just to be clear, I'm deleteing HALF of the <task></task> tags, not all of them.

Not sure how this isn't working - if this process works at all, it should be about this straightforward.

It could be that voo2do has changed their export file format. We'll have to check on that.

Where should I be checking to see when the import functionality gets updated/fixed?

Any updates on this? I'd really like to move to toodledo, but I really can't until this gets completed.

Curious if it's being worked on at all, or not - if the only issue is that voo2do has changed format, this should be a tiny fix.

Its still on our to-do list. I'm sorry that I can't be more specific.

Any updates?

It seems like it would be a bit embarrassing/problematic to advertise voo2do imports for months when you're aware that it doesn't work...

I'd really love to give this a try at some point, and this should be a very, very easy fix.

You are correct. We shouldn't list it if it is currently broken. I have temporarily removed it from the page until we can get it fixed.

Well, sort of - the tasks don't show up in my account. When I go to import, I see a list of TODOs, then I click "Save", but when I go to the TODOs list in ToodleDo, I don't see any tasks in any tab.

So, just a bit to do still, it looks like...

I just tested it, and it was working with my import file. Maybe there is something in your import file that we failed to test. If you wouldn't mind creating a support ticket and attaching the file, we can take a look and help you out.

I don't think there's an issue - I believe that the problem is on voo2do's side. toodledo just wasn't displaying the TODOs that I imported because they were already completed. I'll update once I've gotten voo2do to fix their side.
