Posted Aug 12, 2011 in: Show current date in bottom bar?
Score: 0
As I'm sure everyone knows, if you leave Toodledo open past midnight, "today" becomes yesterday in the date picker, and all your "tomorrows" in the Due Date column are really due today. Toodledo doesn't auto-refresh ever, so it doesn't know the date has rolled over.
If that's non-trivial to fix, I have a perhaps simpler idea: just show the current date (& maybe time) of last refresh in the new bottom bar; there's plenty of space there. Then it'll at least remind me that TD still thinks it's yesterday before I go and update all my tasks to "today" which isn't really today. Of course actually making it always know what today is would be even better. ;-) |

Posted Aug 12, 2011 in: "Warning: You have a browser plugin installed" doesn't go away
Score: 0
I made a little stylish styler to take out the drop-shadows on the hi/top priorities in grid mode, and I get this warning due to that. My style is really simple:
.pri3, .pri2 { text-shadow: none; } .dim { color: #ccc; } but it's enough to trigger the warning persistently. (As others have said, the "dismiss" link doesn't dismiss it.) |

Score: -1
Thanks again! Great stuff, you guys rock.
I tried the styling title by priority, but I really don't like the black-with-gray-dropshadow look; it makes the task look blurry to me. Just bold would be fine for me. I suppose this might be a themable thing when themes come... (But if it was up to me to say, I think batch operations, i.e. multiselect, is way more important than themeability. That's now my #1 request.) |

Woo hoo! Looks excellent. Can't wait to dig into it. I wondered why things had been so quiet around here... :)

Posted Mar 02, 2011 in: How I use Toodledo - Your ideas for improvement?
Score: 0
Posted by PeterW:
What I do is use the 'star' field to put tasks onto my Hotlist so they remain visible. This has the benefit of keeping them on the list until they're done but I don't have to keep rolling the due date forward. I found that constantly rolling the due date forward was not only time consuming but added to the stress by making me feel I was under-achieving. I agree w/ PeterW; I started with dates for everything but ended up with dates for only things that have actual deadlines, and using star + priority for hotlisting. |

I think if you hit "r" to refresh it should put it in the right place.

Posted Jan 12, 2011 in: Suggestion: wiki markup in notes
Score: 2
I think it would be great to have simple wiki syntax markup in the notes that go with each task (not sure what they're called). Bullet lists starting with " * ", strikeout with ~~text~~, bold/italic with *text* and _text_ and so on. There are lots of free wiki syntax processors out there you could use.

Posted Jan 10, 2011 in: TD workflow: priority vs. due date
Score: 0
I've been using TD for nearly a year now, with only slight tweaks to my original workflow. I'm now thinking I can do (a lot) better, from what I've seen on the lists here.
I typically have 40-50 tasks on my work list and 10-30 on my home list, including Somedays. I use contexts only for Home/Work. I used to use folders for projects, but actually end up not using them much so I turned them off and use Tags if I need categorization. I have Status enabled but don't use it much, only for Waiting and occasionally Someday. Typically anything I need to do "soon" I make due today or tomorrow. Someday things, I just leave with no date. (This causes problems with Ultimate To Do List on Android, which sorts no-date tasks first!) This is one of the main things I'm thinking of changing, because every morning I have to reset all my overdue tasks to today again, which is kind of senseless I'm realizing. I'm thinking of using priority more and due date less; sort by importance as I do now, but only assign due dates for things REALLY due on that date. Give everything the proper priority and context, low pri for Someday items, hi pri for do this soon. Then I'll Star my next actions (from looking at the whole list) and sort stars to the top (importance already does that?) and I should be good to go, picking tasks off the top. Then I shouldn't have to reset anything each day. I'm not sure what to do about Status; I'd like to keep it if it can be helpful but I use it so rarely. What do you all think of this workflow? Before I dive into it I'd like your feedback, there are lots of smart people on this forum! |

Posted by twangus:
By the way, I just created a new style that I think has been coming along quite nicely Beautiful look, twangus. Gorgeous! Q: How do you adjust the column widths with this though? I'm on a small netbook sometimes (1024x768) and this layout doesn't resize to fit. Add Task is almost always off the screen and the New Task dialog is humungous on my screen. Search ("f") I find a bit weird in that it scrolls down to the end for the search field (rather than being pinned to the top like usual) but it works. Just some suggestions... |

Score: 0
I don't use the collaboration stuff, so that won't be as useful as, say, quick/easy batch editing would be, but I have noticed the speed increase -- thanks for that! And thanks for such a great product. TD is the center of my daily workflow.

Score: 0
PocketInformant, the old uber-PIM from WM and Palm days, is now in public beta on Android -- and already has basic syncing with TD! (No subtasks yet) It's in the market. I just downloaded it and will be trying it out seriously in the next few days.

Posted by Toodledo:
We decided to bite off a big feature, so it is taking longer than usual between updates, but we are getting close to having a release which will include the big thing and a handful of small things as well. Can't wait! |

It's a bug, IMHO. You've had Toodledo open for two days in your browser, I bet. Until you reload the page (not just "R" but actually reload in the browser) it continues to think "today" is the date you loaded the page. I wish it would auto-reload at midnight or whatever is needed to make "today" always be today.

Posted by jfiala.prague:
I would actually prefer the grid view, but only if there was the option to put columns in a custom order... Would that be possible in the future as well? Already there, jfiala.prague. In grid view click the Customize icon (upper right, with the pencil) and drag the columns however you like them, in order and width. |

Posted Mar 21, 2010 in: Editing Multiple Tasks - Without a Search
Score: 1
Just want to add my voice to the chorus: now that we have tag completion, subtasks, sorting, and all the other goodies set up so nicely, multi-select is my #1 feature request. (Search is not helpful to me for this, because I often have a "random" bunch of things to update. Now I just do it one at a time.)

Bump. Now that so many other features have been added (e.g. subtask sorting), this has become #1 on my wish list.

Awesome, this changes my workflow completely! Thanks!
(Now of course I want the times from subtasks to be summed into the parent, and due dates rolled up, ... before you know it it'll be a project manager.) |
