Dan,
on the CodeProject website it says that the Android app "Tdl Todo List" is non-Unicode only but it is not true. I am using it with a Unicode tasklist and it works fine... Can you correct it not to mislead others?
Thanks, M.

For the moment while in Calendar view you can edit tasks with dates only, but if you for example want to assign a date to a certain task you'll have to go to Task Tree/List views and do it there. For Gantt view everything is ok but is it feasable to add/combine Task Tree view and Calendar view, what is your opinion, Dan? I'm attaching a sample screenshot of an abandoned software called Life Balance, used to work with it for some time, probably, it can give a clearer idea.

I can't see it working. I was very confused looking at that image, I found understanding the various visual relationships very difficult.
However, I do acknowledge the point you raise with having to switch views.

Yes, I agree, the design is clumsy but I just wanted to relay an idea of having list of tasks and calendar in one place, one screen like the current Gantt view, without the need to switch between them.

I second this request.
The reason why I have not upgraded from 6.4.10 is that I prefer the old calendar plugin where you could see both windows (calendar and tree view) next to each other.

What would the possibility of adding tri-state check boxes to the program?
|

Depending on what you are trying to do, you can achieve something similar by creating a custom icon attribute. This can be clicked on in the grid to change its value. You can have as many states as you wish.
I am using this functionality to create multi-state flags.

OK. I will make some assumptions about what you know...
You right click on the column heading and select "Add/Edit Custom columns"
You then create a custom attribute and set Data type = "icon", and List type = "Fixed data, single selection". Add in the other info as you want.
You then select the icons to use (bottom right button with smiley face). The trick is to ctrl select all the icons you want to use before pressing enter. If you want to use your own icons, these need to be 16x16, in a Resources/Icons directory.
You then press OK, and you should see a new column. Values can be set by either editing in the edit bar at bottom, or clicking on the grid.
Hope that makes some sense, or at least gives you enough info to start playing...

Thank zajchap!
I already did and it worked perfect! 
He had been playing with that "add columns" but did not know the litle trick of "ctrl"  ... this is VERY useful.
Thank you again.

Hello, would it be possible to enhance the filtering in a list view to show only top N priority levels?
I mean e.g. only top 3 levels, so that if the top is 9 it would filter out 9,8 and 7 and if the top would be 7 it would filter out 7,6 and 5. It might help to simplify the list and focus only on the most important... Thanks.

Are you suggesting a different priority filter for the tree and the list?
Because I would say that it works just how you want at present.
Maybe I'm not understanding you...
|

No, what I am suggesting is to extend the existing priority filter with this dynamic functionality to show only top N priority levels: based on what is the actual top priority level (X) it would filter out the tasks with priorities in the interval [X-N+1;X] (to say it matematically).
Now the filter can only work in a mode >Y, so you can attain the same thing but you have to find out yourself what is the lower bound; what I am suggesting is that the app would dynamically compute the lower bound itself based on the actual top priority level present in the list (X) and the number of down-levels you want to show (N).

maybe I missed something, but how to use the column "recently modified" for "Find task / Filter"?

Salut Pierre
Can't you do a Modified Date (Relative) occurs after (>) -3d e.g.?
You can choose # days yourself.

Yes, of course. I thought I missed a standard feature.

When exporting tasks to csv file, parent task id field is not output for topmost tasks, causing fileds after that are put one filed left as those of tasks which have parents.
Position Title Task ID Parent Task ID Priority Risk Percent Complete Time Estimate Creation Date ...
1 TopTask 98 5 0 0 75 H 2013/6/17 ...
1.1 SubTask 27 98 5 0 0 25 H ...

Open a TDL - select GANTT - press ESC - the display becomes empty.

This is the best todolist I've ever used,very simple and efficient.
I do not know if it's a little better to calculate the due date by time est. and start date automatically.
MS project do it like that way, we define some specific tasks(standard process) with a specific period of time spent, combine these tasks into a project and define the dependency, then we put the start date of the first task, the due date of the whole project and sub task will be calculated automatically.
Another suggestion is for the dependency, now it's link to the task ID, we copy a template project(with sub tasks and their dependency),paste to be a new project in the same .tdl file, the sub task's dependency is still link to the template project's sub task. Is it possible to maintain the dependency relationship between the sub tasks, no matter how we copy and paste.

I'll consider this as a feature request.

I'll look at getting this fixed for the 6.7 release.
