Hello Dan,
With the TDL 6.7B3 :
It seems the filter 'selected tasks' doesn't work.
Just create a new task list, create a task, select it, then apply the filter, the task disappear while it is selected ?
I have made several tests, always the same, no tasks are displayed.

* in the Resource\Icons folder
* in the Resource\Icon folder

Could you help me ? And is ther my icons are displayed in addtion of the statard icons ? Or they replace them ?
Thank you.

Any XP users out there, I need a hand.
In order to research a bug report I need to set my system clock back 1 day.
Sounds easy, but 10 seconds after I change the date, XP changes it back. Same with the time.
I've tried disabling the Internet Time synchronisation and the Windows Time service but neither had an effect.
Any ideas?
|
|
|
|
|
And what if in addition you block your internet connection, the syncrho is still done ?

Hi,
I try to create a stylesheet to show the estimation time for all master task's and sub task's.
I add the estimation time to any sub task and in the tree view overview in the todolist program the master task estimation time is the summary of the estimation time of all sub task. This is fine  but in the print preview with my stylesheet the master task do not have any estimation time. How can I solve this problem?
Thank You.
Greetings

Hi is it possible to print special chars in Stylesheets for printing?
I try to edit some Stylesheet with german translation.
Here is an example
<xsl:element name="h2">Projekt Übersicht Dauer Schätzung</xsl:element>
The result is a white paper because of the "Ü" and "ä".
I try also
<xsl:element name="h2">Projekt Übersicht Dauer Schätzung</xsl:element>
but with no success.
Is this possible?
And Thanks a lot for this great software.
Greetings

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.

Very intresting! can you explain a bit more (for dummies like me  )
Thanks!!!
Armando

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.

Yes, Dan had to explain that one to me a few months back.
Dan, maybe this could be made more obvious somehow?

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).

Thx, now I understand.
I'll give it some thought.

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

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

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 ..
verithin wrote: a) make the designations (in brackets after the priority number, like: 'med-high') editable
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.

Same, but I struggled with this for a while as well. Up to TDL, 'Top priority' was always 'Priority 1'. I've just got used to it, and effectively now only use 4 priority levels (the rest are ignored).

Hello Dan,
please find below some issues or question about customs date filters.
A/Major issues
Please find below a sample TDL file and my ini file which contains my own customs date filters and a sample tasklist in order to test the issues.
http://depositfiles.com/files/i0hdv3xsl[^]
http://depositfiles.com/files/2152jjul9[^]
my customs date filters are :
* InLate : Display due tasks
* Active : Display "active" tasks (started or with a due date <= today)
* Active+next7d : Display "active" tasks + tasks which starts or finish within the next 7 days
* Active+NotSet : Display "active" tasks + task without start and due date
* NotStarted :Display not started tasks (start and finish after today or without any dates)
* NotSet : Dislpay Tasks without any dates
Globally it is working well, but there are 2 problems :
A.1/when I select my custom filter 'In late' which is supposed to display only task dues, (where the due date is < today), I have the parent task 'T_Not Set' which appears. While it don't match with my filter and should not appears
The same with 'Active' and 'Active+next7d'...
A.2/ Pb on the custom filter 'Not Started'. It is a complex filter with 'Or'/'And' lines.
A task not started is a task with :
- (a start date > today or a start date not set) AND (a due date > today or a due date not set)
Currently, It displays the tasks not started but also the tasks T_Active.1 and T_active.2, while they are started
I suppose that it is because my custom filter is not well interpreted (complex or/and sequences), but I'm sure that when you delivered it, this filter was working...
Others points :
B/ Question
What is the behavior if on a custom filter I tick the option 'Parent tasks' in the 'Including' combobox?
In my case, I just want to check the dates of the task leaves, So I have only ticked 'filtered-out tasks', but I'm not very sure about the right way to use it...
For your information, for the issues A.1 and A.2 I have tested with both options without any difference.
C/ Minor problem
I have created 5 custom filters, while only 4 appears in the 'Show combobox'
TDL used : 6.7 B2
Thank you for your return.
