Posted Oct 11, 2010 in: Taking user feedback to decide the next feature set
Score: 1
I was just searching the forums and stumbled over this thread from about a year ago:
http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/3436/0/feature-request-post.html ...which probably answers a few of the posts above and puts things in perspective in terms of what we can expect (or not expect). Note that users Proximo and Vin Thomas have both left Toodledo (they're now using NirvanaHQ.com) and I haven't seen Claudio post anything in quite a while. I still like Toodledo. But I really wish that some of the enhancements that get asked for over and over again would be addressed. But when reading forum posts like the thread linked above, I kinda feel like they never will. :( This message was edited Oct 11, 2010. |

hmmm look how nice this is ... https://www.dropbox.com/votebox These cartoon-style videos are quite effective. The one done by Smartytask is pretty cool too. This message was edited Oct 10, 2010. |

Just wanted to let people know that we finished the maintenance, which involved updating software on all of our servers and rebooting them in sequence. We were able to do this with less than 5 minutes of cumulative downtime. The new software included some security patches as well as some enhancements to our monitoring software which should make Toodledo slightly more resilient to unforeseen issues in the future. Thanks - I really appreciate the reliability of Toodledo. |

Posted Oct 10, 2010 in: Can hotlist include stared items?

@jonzenor,
This request has been made many times before. For example: http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/344/0/request-starred-hotlist.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/2444/0/can-starred-items-be-included-in-hotlist.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/4331/0/feature-request-option-to-add-starred-items-to-hotlist.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/344/0/request-starred-hotlist.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/5971/-31561/starred-items-in-hotlist.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/6719/0/add-star-as-criteria-for-hotlist.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/1872/-8597/add-starred-to-hotlist.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/2323/-11681/hotlist-options.html http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/1765/-7986/feature-request-more-flexible-hotlist.html Unfortunately we're still waiting and recently we were advised that forum requests represent a tiny percentage of the user base so little weight is given to them. As such, it's unlikely we will ever see this feature added. You can create your own "Hotlist" using a saved search. I posted a message explaining how to do it as have others in the past, so it's a well-worn trail. Here is the link: http://www.toodledo.com/forums/3/6757/-35403/how-to-create-a-custom-hotlist.html |

How about TaskAngel - a windows app that syncs with Toodledo?

My suggestion is that you switch to multiline view - a lot less clutter and you can have as many fields activated as you wish.

Posted Oct 09, 2010 in: keeping subtasks in the same order on todo app
Score: 0
Hi Kenny,
Writing this from the iPhone (am away for a long weekend) so apologies for the brevity of my reply. It's not possible to keep sort order of subtasks synced between Todo and Toodledo as has been mentioned. I simply do this manually in each app and it hasn't been too much of a hardship. I'd suggest you post this as an enhancement request in Appigo's forum and I will do the same - much more likely they will consider this and do it than it ever happening here!

...and read this for an explanation: http://www.toodledo.com/info/subtasks.php

This does work for me, so my guess is that you have the setting "Subtasks: Flattened-Hidden-Indented" set to either Hidden or Indented. Set them to Flattened and your filter will product results.

You can open XML files with Excel (2007 and 2010). As Toodledo does not provide a schema, Excel has to build one but it works well enough that you can edit the file if you need to.

Posted Oct 05, 2010 in: Locations: How do You use Them?
Score: 0
@sweetbriarpatch - it sounds like you are using Locations the same as I would use Context (which in GTD-land denotes resource and/or location).
@Andrew A - I just don't have that many errand-type tasks that I need to be prompted about on a regular basis. I do a weekly review (and often a daily scan) so I already know what I need to do and plan accordingly. While the idea of location-based awareness on the iPhone sounds cool, I'm starting to think that it's just a clever use of technology designed to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Just my $0.02.

Hi,
There are probably many ways you could handle this, but here is a link to a recent post I made about how I handle subtasks. Note that this relates primarily to the website but a similar naming scheme would work OK on your iPhone/iPad. Basically, put an abbreviation of your parent task name at the start of all subtasks. http://www.toodledo.com/forums/search.php?search=subtask+abbreviated+Brenda&fid=0&tid=0 This message was edited Oct 05, 2010. |

If you use FireFox or Chrome, you can install a Stylish theme that will do exactly that.
http://userstyles.org/styles/37231 - highlights text based on priority http://userstyles.org/styles/25595 - changes text colour based on priority They are just a few of mine - there are heaps others here: http://userstyles.org/styles/browse/toodledo.com ...and you can either write your own or simply amend one of the existing scripts to make it what you want.

I'd never noticed this before but fully agree - they way it currently works is not very useful.

Score: 1
Posted by Andrew A:
I see no need for it (-1), and don't think it is particularly GTD since it adds complexity without a corresponding uptick in task simplicity... Another GTD cloud-based system I tried provided sub-contexts which was kind of cool. The way they implemented this was such that it didn't complicate the system for those who didn't want to use them (e.g. me). If this could be achieved here then I'd have no problem with it being added. However if the implementation was similar to the Tag field/cloud then I'd be dead against the change. But you know this discussion is somewhat pointless - it's not like Toodledo would be giving much weight to requests such as this. |

I don't use the status field any more - I tried but found it a chore to update. It's now turned off and I use folders to provide status.

Hi Brenda,
Here is how I do it. This is my Project folder:  In this folder, I set subtasks to either 'Hidden' or 'Indented' so that they are viewed as you see them above (i.e. attached to their parent). However in all other folders, I set subtasks to 'Flattened' so that they are displayed according to whatever filter or search is set. This ensures that they appear on their own and it's in this situation that having the '-' symbol and the abbreviated parent name helps me understand immediately what I am looking at without having to dig deeper. Here is my Focus list (i.e. my version of a Hotlist). You can see that there is a subtask displayed:  Hope that helps. I hope one day that Toodledo will display the parent task name (or part of it) in small or reverse font alongside the subtask name so that this workaround isn't required. This is how I've seen it handled in other systems. This message was edited Sep 29, 2010. |

Maybe this has been covered but what is the purpose of using the + symbol b4 projects in the setup? The idea is to indicate a parent task with a + and a subtask with a - symbol. I also prepend sub-tasks with a brief summary of the parent task name to give 'context' to the subtask because Toodledo doesn't give any clear indication what the subtask belongs to. |
