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 take a few things for granted though...
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...

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.

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

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.

Hi dan,
Please find the last update of French translation here[^].
(I've checked the link, it should be public).
I've also noticed two strange lines:
"Task5" "" "label.1301" => '5' instead of 's' I guess => found also into German file
"S(emaines" "" "menu.32771" => looks like the French word 'Semaines' => found only into French file, so maybe it should be "Weeks" "Semaines" "menu.32771" ?
Best

Many thx. I'll add it to the next Beta release.

Also added in error.

Sometimes some already translated strings appear in the "Need_Translation" section. It's a known issue, but not really heavy if you know it.

I have a task with many subtasks. When I completed all the subs, the main task gets dimmed as expected and wanted. I just got another subtask to add to it and when I added it the main task gets bold as expected and wanted. However, when I collapsed the subtasks under the main task, the main task dims again, not expected nor wanted. When I expand the main tasks the subtask is dimmed but not checked as completed. When I click on that subtask name, it gets bold again as expected.
This has not happened before and I just upgraded to TDL 6.7.B2 Beta Release.
As before, thanks for all the effort you guys put into this program. It is by far the best I have ever used.

Hi Jerry
Can you send me a screenshot so that I can see how your tasks are structured pls?

When I showed TDL to a colleague he was impressed. However, he finally lost interest just because of this issue:
His understanding was that top priority should be '1' instead of '10'.
Creating a custom column has not resolved the problem because the default 'Priority' column is the basis for filter bar functionality.
Best way to solve this issue would be:
a) make the designations (in brackets after the priority number, like: 'med-high') editable
b) let the user decide how many priority levels he prefers (for some, 3 levels is more than enough)
c) let the user decide if the highest priority is assigned by the lowest or highest number
Thank you for considering,
Klaus
PS: I know that this topic has been addressed in the past.

I'm surprised that this could be a Knock out - criterium ..

As workaround you can modify the translation file. If you are using English, you can create "MyEnglish" and pseudo-translate the strings.
verithin wrote: c) let the user decide if the highest priority is assigned by the lowest or highest number
IMHO this would create some side effects on filter-definition and so on ...
Have you already tried to
- re-translate prio 1 - 3
- work with "Search" and "Filter" to define filters for the new prios?

That would solve this problem...
Indeed, I admit that I even tried to hack the tdl.exe: I could find the respective strings, like: '5 (med-high)' and I edited/changed them, but it had no effect for some reasons...
So your suggestion seems to be the solution... If I knew how to create a translation file 'MyEnglish'. Is there somewhere an instruction found that would tell me how to do this?
Thanks Pierre,
Klaus

It's simple.
- Go to folder "Translations", copy "YourLanguage.csv" to "MyEnglish.csv" (or what you want ...).
- If you want you can copy / create a GIF too (with same name as your CSV.
- Edit the CSV (take care of correct saving)=
- Open Todolist, select your language

Not as simple as it seemed to be...
I wanted to change the bracket descriptions/designations of the Priority numbers only, but wanted to keep the ones of Risc as they are:
I translated the descriptions of combobox.1183 which seem to have effect on all Priority AND Risc Editing and Filter menus.
Also, the following translations were necessary:
combobox.1032 : has effect on Preference - Fonts & Colours - Priority Colours menu
combobox.1191 : has effect on the Risc Filter menus
combobox.136 : has effect on the Risc Editing box
Now it seems to work for me,
Thanks again, Pierre !
BTW, I still don't know the effects of
combobox.1024 and combobox.1025.
Is there a list with all mappings?
PS: The description above works for the TDL-version 6.4.10, I haven't tested it with higher versions.
