Those squares are used to mark a task done. So in essence, it does archive them. That's how the TD is designed to work.

Posted May 31, 2011 in: Could I use TD as my sort-of calendar? new user wonders...
Score: 0
@Rosana
I totally sympathize with your plight! AFAIK, and I've looked long and hard, there is no really good calendar app for Mac. iCal is slightly inferior to a wall calendar (wall calendar has a pretty picture at least). The only good thing about iCal is that it syncs with many other, far superior calendar apps, like Google Calendar. Google Calendar does most everything I want, but it doesn't really do much of a task list. I got so spoiled by DateBk on my old Palm, and still miss this great app that combined Task List, Calendar, Appointment book and Memos. Imagine, you could connect a contact with an appointment! And that same contact or appointment could be connected to a task! Or a Memo! So now I use Google Cal for my appointments, and TD for my tasks. When I had my iPhone, I had Calgoo (yes, horrible name) which auto-synched with Google Calendar via CalDav, and worked flawlessly for appointments. I've used TD for almost a year now, and, as much as I like it, I don't think it would work for my calendar at all. But go ahead, give it a try, and let us know how it works out. Maybe I'm just not thinking outside of the box enough. |

I agree. Shame on you TD developers! But not for the same reasons as others. I think you should be ashamed for not fixing the things I WANT FIXED, because, obviously, whatever I want fixed is the most important thing needing fixing. Doesn't everyone know that by now?

Having to choose Due Dates or Subtasking, but not being able to use both at the same time, is lame. I use both. Maybe I'm just not making it difficult enough? :) |

4) Due date of parent task is not automatically updated to reflect the next sub-task due date. This means your choice is to either: Leave all subtasks expanded at all times so you don't miss a due date (thereby filling your visible list with dozens of unnecessary items) or, collapse your subtasks so your list isn't an unusable mess (and end up missing a due date because the relevant subtask is hidden). Really, the current "subtask" system is more of a glorified tagging method than an actual subtasking system. Not sure why, but I certainly don't have this problem. I don't see the current subtask system as a "tagging system". It works just fine for me, and I can't remember the last time I lost a subtask this way. I don't think it's a problem with the design, I think it's operator error here. :) |

Score: 0
1) A "Views" tab, where my most often used Searches, or other views, could be easily available and where all settings, like Sort order, etc., would be preserved.
2) An option to de-star repeating tasks upon being marked complete |

You need to click on the lego block to the left of the task name, then select Add Subtask. You might also note the other options in that menu.

Posted May 25, 2011 in: CONTEXTS: Any plans to enable multiple contexts per to-do item?
Score: 0
I would use this feature. For instance, I have to call my insurance company, but it has to be during work hours. So the context is Personal, but it has to be done while I'm at at work, so it would have both. Right now, I give it a context of Work and it's in my Personal folder, which works ok.
It depends on how you use contexts, of course. |

Yes, AFAIK, this is the first backup system in history to have a flaw. ;)

The first sort doesn't have auto because there needs to be some basis to order the tasks.

Out of the many task management programs out there, many do not support subtasks which is an important feature to me. Subtasks are the reason why I am trying out ToodleDo. I like some of the features that ToodleDo offers but these are the problems I encountered with sub-tasks: 1) There is no subtask keyboard shortcut which slows down list making process 2) You cannot reorder parent items of subtasks (only the subtasks themselves) As soon as you make an item a parent, the drag and drop hand disappears in place of a chart symbol 3)Another thing I found difficult was simply reordering tasks that you do not want as subtasks. For example, if you have three items andwant to move the last item so that it is second, dragging the icon upward makes it a child of item two which is not always wanted. Free members don't have this issue because subtasks are disabled all together. 1. Seriously. This will waste about 1 minute a year, right? It's more of a nuisance that a time waster, don't you agree? 2. True. You have to decide if you can live with these limitations 3. That's not what I'm seeing. When I drag a subtask up or down in the list, it moves above or below the other subtasks and does not become a subtask of a subtask. In fact, TD is often criticized for not having this feature. Of course, you are right, this software has flaws. But that's hardly unique, is it? I suggest you spend some time with TD, read the Help pages, frequent these forums, ask some questions, then decide. Do TD's strengths outweigh it's weaknesses? Only you can decide that for you. I'll give you my lists of strengths and weaknesses for TD. Weaknesses: It's ugly. They're working on that. I use a skin that looks better. When you choose the Sort order for a View, you're choosing the Sort order for all Views in that set. I'd like the Sort order to be saved with each View. They're working on it. When I mark a Starred repeating task done, the next task will automatically appear on any Star list. I have to remember to de-star if I don't want the next event to show until it's Start date or Due Date. They're working on that. Some people don't like that there's only one level of subtask and want more. I think it would make a total mess of the interface and create more problems than it would solve. Strengths It does what I need now, today, with enhancements coming on a regular basis. Tags, Contexts, Folders, Start & Due Dates, cloud-based and accessible everywhere. It's not the simplest Task Manager, but I want all these features so I've learned to use it. They have a dedicated team working on improving TD, and better yet, they are here in these forums answering questions every day. These are some of the most helpful, friendly, upbeat forums I've experienced in over 20 years of using online help. (Some competitor's forums are veritable war zones!) Only you can decide if TD works for you. You can certainly make a list of flaws to post in these forums if you like. That's nothing new. We regularly get folks coming in here, taking a glance at TD, posting their list of favorite flaws, and moving on. You can do so too if that's your choice. Or you can take an honest look, give it a try and then decide. If you decide not to use TD, you can even post a friendly "Why it doesn't work for me" list on your way out. I'm sure the developers appreciate such lists. You've got lot's of choices here. |

Maybe it's because you have to be a programmer to appreciate how awesome this program is! I'm a database guy/webdev and I found most other todo list apps too simple. This one works well, is fairly priced, and has all of the features I need without being too complex. That said, my girlfriend thinks it's way too complex! Nice job, ToodleDo team! A very happy customer. That could be it. :) |

If a repeating task is Starred, and you're in a view that shows Starred tasks, the next new one will reappear. AFAIK, the only way, at present to prevent this, is to de-Star the task when you mark it complete.

Posted May 10, 2011 in: Glitch in Toodledo me too style
Score: 0
I've been using the Tooldedo me too style at home (Chrome, Mac) and at work (FF, Win2000). Works great, most of the time. I've discovered a small glitch. If I'm in Grid mode, and I have a task at the bottom of the list, and I click on the Note icon to expose the note, it doesn't show. It won't expand downward as it should. Works fine in any other position as far as I can see, just not at the very bottom of the list.
Can someone fix this please? |

Haven't done this, just a shot in the dark. Can you open the CSV file with a text editor, do a Find-and-Replace and change the commas to colons, then open in XL?
