I cannot set a task as 'checked' Complete when it has a recurrence set. This has changed since 6.8.
To test:
- Open v6.8, set a recurrence on a task
- Check the completion status. Status changes to Complete.
- Now open in v6.9.
- Uncheck the completion status. You can't recheck it or have it checked by changing status to Complete.
- Remove the recurrence, it checks.
- Undo to replace the recurrence, now can't check it again.

I think I'm going to need a specific sample tasklist and your preferences pls, because so much goes on unseen.

One of my specialties is writing software which integrates tightly with Microsoft Office apps, particularly Excel, Outlook, and Word. I can add panes, forms, and windows to these products, right-click context menus, buttons that manipulate documents, and integration between these and other software, databases, and web services.
I'd like to understand what people here might want to do with Outlook or Excel to integrate with TDL. Here are examples of what's possible:
- Create Outlook Calendar entries when you create a recurring task - and modify them in Outlook as the tasks change.
- When you're writing an email, click a button to associate it with a project and task. This might then update your tasklist with a Comment on that task that an email was sent to a specific person at that time.
- Or associate a specific Contact with a task so that all communications get logged to the task.
- You might want inbound communications to create new tasks or set reminders or other updates on existing tasks.
Reporting is also a big topic here for many of us.
- How about an Excel template which populates itself with the latest data from your .tdl or .csv time log?
- Or even better, perhaps doing that with Word?
And then we can go in the other direction:
- What about sending an email when specific TDL events occur?
- What if that email is an Excel or Word summary of project time for the week? ( a personal goal of mine )
There are so many things that can be done with software and we're getting very close to being able to do all of these things. But I'm wondering what people here really want to do, rather than just what I think people might want to do.
Now, I must say that if business-oriented integration like this helps your business then you must be willing to help Dan (perhaps despite his objections) and the authors of tools like this to make functionality like this possible. We can't have everything be Free and Open Source Software. So if you do have a business case for this kind of integration, what's it worth to you?
Stir up the creative juices and comment.

Hi
It seems current versions support right to left in editing text with changing writing direction , but after edit commited , the text paint in LeftToRight direction .
Would you please correct this in next releases .
I should mention the layout is very nice , but if i write a text in two language that one of them is RightToLeft , then the text is hard to read .
Thanks

Hi Amir
Can you send me some screenshots and detailed instructions on how I can reproduce this myself?
Alternatively can you record a video that shows the exact nature of the problem?
My email is in my signature.

Hi Amir,
I've added some simple RTL support to 6.9.B7 via the preferences. Can you have a play with it and let me know of any obvious problems?
Otherwise I'm happy to fix any issues you find as you get to use the software more.

Hi
I'll check it out .
thanks

Hi
I checked it , and It seems did what I want .
Thanks a lot
But I have some suggestion
1- if you can draw tree in right to left style it will be pretty . In RTL style , expander and icons draw on right and text in right justify ( not if i click a node to edit , it is right justified ) . This is only a suggestion .
2- the settings label would be better if is :
"Show task labels in Right-To-Left style" .because keyboard is on user side and in editing mode and can be change easily .
3- please paint comment box text depend on settings too
This software is the one of the best softwares I see. ( And you are )

Could you take a screen shot of the app window and indicate on that exactly what is wrong and what you are looking for?

hi
i have a tasklist with "Custom Field" column.
i Export to csv, and then Import again. but my "Custom Field" column has gone!!
what is my fault?
|
|
|
|
|
Currently you can only import that CSV successfully if the appropriately named custom columns are already set up.

hi dan
sometimes we need to edit Custom Column by "Excell" and then import by tdl.
before you said:
(4-Aug-13 20:14)
"I'll make sure CSV support is added for custom attributes in 6.8."
Would it be achieved?
thanks

nasehi wrote: Would it be achieved? Only as far as I have said. Unfortunately the CSV format does not provided the means to capture all the details of a custom attribute, so it can only save the name and the ID, thus requiring the attributes to be set up in advance.
If you are importing the CSV back into the same tasklist then this should work.
Perhaps if you can give me more detail on your workflow I can think about it some more for 6.9.

I am electronic man, In fact I don't use the TDL just as a todo-list. TDL is very useful:
- TDL is portable and ligth software with good options. but Excell has some functions to change groups of them.
- Some software export results as Excell(xls/csv) file and i want to integrate them as tdl file. [Bill Of Materials: in Altium DXP] or [Phone Numbers: in android mobile] or ...
- Usually people like to have access to their documents from one point.
If this is achieved it will be useful for other activities.
thanks.

Can you confirm if this is a problem in 6.9.Beta pls?
|
|
|
|
|
not work.
my Steps:
1- download last version (TDL 6.9.B6)
2- extract in desktop
3- Run TDL (with "Sample Task List")
4- Right-Click on column header -> select "Custom Task Attribute..."
5- Add 2 New Attribute, for example(CC1 , CC2)
6- changing them for one Task(CC1=aa1 , CC2=aa2)
7- Export as a x1.csv in Desktop (with All Task and All Attributes). i can see CC1, CC2 columns in x1.csv.
9- but when i import x1.csv
(in "New tasklist" => lost CC1, CC2 columns)
(in "Top of active tasklist" or "Selected task in active tasklist" => lost CC1, CC2 values)

Random question: I assume that compiling the source in VS2008 requires configuring VS for VC6, rather than the default for VS2008 (VC7, I think)?
|
|
|
|
|
The source should compile in VS2008 after the default conversion of the VC6 project.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I ask because I get nearly 200 errors regarding in-line default parameters. Such as...
Error 1 error C2572:
Error 2 error C2535:
Error 3 error C2548:
Error 4 error C2084: function
Using VS 2008 SP1.

hi
How can i remove items from Category field?
|
|
|
|
|
Depends on the version that you use. The current 6.9 Betas have an integrated button to delete. Older versions should display it on the tooltip - I think it was "Ctrl+Del".
