I guess you're referring to the duality between the overhead of electron to the minimal concept of todo.txt? Then yes, you're right, but Javascript, HTML and CSS are the only languages I speak :D

Robin

@ransome1

but as for my defence: My code is just a couple of kilobyte and the app runs fluently even on my good ole entry level laptop from 2007

jason-mehmel

@jason-mehmel

@ransome1 Really elegant app! I've got a few feature ideas, do you want them here or on the github?

Robin

@ransome1

@jason-mehmel would love to hear your idea. post it whereever it suits you best

jason-mehmel

@jason-mehmel

I posted it as an issue on the github but I'll also say it here: stacking filters? Currently it seems like I can only filter by one context or tag at a time, but I'd love to be able to stack them. (@ 1_inbox and +car for example)

Robin

@ransome1

You can stack filters already, but the addition of filters will add new items, there is no exclusion. And I think that is what you're looking for. As I understand you want to select a filter to limit the todos to all items that include that one filter. And in a next step you want to add second or third filter that will break those items already filtered further down.

Which makes sense to me

right now those multiple filters are connected with OR and you basically need the connection to be and AND one, right?

jason-mehmel

@jason-mehmel

Correct. I'm looking for multiple filters to narrow, not add. I do see now that adding multiple filters shows the content that corresponds to at least one of the multiple filters, not just the ones that correspond to both.

In other words, yes. ;)

Also, another issue request which I'll also add to github: sorting filters in the filter tray either by amount of tasks using those contexts/projects, or sorting them alphanumerically. (In the other systems I've used, they sort them alphanumerically, so I've got some 'top level' contexts like [at]1_inbox because then it's the first thing I see on Simpletask Android or on some of the other apps I've used.

Robin

@ransome1

@jason-mehmel ok I figured it out. Would you like to test it? Also: I wasn't sure on if or how the filters should shrink the more you narrow down the amount of visible todos. What's your opinion on that?

jason-mehmel

@jason-mehmel

@ransome1 I went into more detail on the Github issues section, but the short answer is yes, I think the listed filters should shrink based on the amount of visible todos.

Here's my answer! ransome1/sleek#4

Robin

@ransome1

@jason-mehmel Your ideas from both Github topics have been included in https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v0.2.3. Feel free to try it out

jason-mehmel

@jason-mehmel

@ransome1 Works great! I've also got it via snap on Ubuntu 20.04 so it updated automatically there this morning!

Thank you for this app! I like the fact that it's multi-platform as well; I've been looking to share a todo.txt process with some folks using different OS's. I'll let you know if we discover anything in that process!

jason-mehmel

@jason-mehmel

I'll keep using it, flag any bugs I find, and if I think of more features I'll let you know. Also, please ping me if you want some specific testing.

Robin

@ransome1

@jason-mehmel thanks for your support, Jason. I appreciate it.

jason-mehmel

@jason-mehmel

No problem!

@ransome1 Had another functionality idea, this one around suggested or autocompleted contexts and projects when making new tasks or editing old ones.

ransome1/sleek#7

Robin

@ransome1

Hi @jason-mehmel, sorry I didn't see your latest comment. But anyway feel free to check a little prototype and let me know if this goes into the right direction: https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/issues/7#issuecomment-736516170

jason-mehmel

@jason-mehmel

It worked great!

If anyone else is reading this, I encourage you to try out @ransome1's Sleek. Particularly with what he's added, it's basically doing all the things I need from a todo.txt app!

Hello everyone here! Just wanted to say @ransome1 I’m really enjoying Sleek. I read the message from @jason-mehmel and decided to try it. Congrats for your work.

👌

@silasdb

Hi. @inkarkat I finally finished the add-ons I told you about weeks (months?) ago: https://github.com/silasdb/d ; https://github.com/silasdb/due

thanks for the help!

not sure if you (or someone else?) want to add them to todotxt.org add-ons page

Ingo Karkat

@inkarkat

Hey @silasdb; great work, and thank you for publishing the results so that others can reuse them! As a wiki page, the todotxt.org add-ons page should be editable by everyone, so go ahead and add links to your work.

For my own configuration, I've achieved something similar, but I chose a different approach; I have a dateex extension of the date command, and I'm injecting this into all of todo.txt via a shell date() { dateex "$@"; }; export -f date function in todo.cfg. So I don't need a custom add-on like your d (but I think the way you've implement that as a wrapper is quite elegant), but I'm limited to generic dates (due:tomorrow) and cannot use shortcuts like due:+1.

Ingo Karkat

@inkarkat

The obvious thing that I forgot to mention here (but I think had mentioned earlier already) is that for those date expansions to work, I override the built-in add action, and process any m:marker or m:(marker with spaces) syntax by expanding human-readable or relative dates (and also relative task references), via this script. I could directly use my custom dateex there, but by overriding the original date command, it automatically also gets used in other add-ons (for example, I use a schedule command for tasks due in the future).

Silas

@silasdb

@inkarkat this is nice! Didn't you publish it? I was looking for something like that but I don't recall to have seen it in the add-ons page. I'll take a look at that before publishing d. Thanks!

BTW, d is such a small name that is easy to write but difficult to reason about. Do you see any problem with that?

Ingo Karkat

@inkarkat

@silasdb If there's a more descriptive longer name, that would be better. Though it should be trivial to rename, anyway. That's also the problem with my own setup; many of those commands are connected and dependent on each other, so it's hard to use just a few of them without adopting the whole setup. The code has been out there on GitHub for several years; I haven't received much feedback on it yet.

Trying to resolve the following: creation of todo.txt.bak file. I have been using Todo.txt for some time and just started using CLI on Linux Mint XFCE. Since then, the todo.txt.bak get created and IFTTT recurring "appends" are posted to that file and not todo.txt. I am using Dropbox for file location. All other devices, Android, Windows 10 (work), Chrome Extension are then not updated. Is there something to change with the CLI? Thanks in advance!

thanks for the kind words. If you find any bugs or if you miss an important function, let me know: https://github.com/ransome1/sleek

Ingo Karkat

@inkarkat

@kvnmck1986_twitter Have a look at https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli/discussions/327; there's a link to a workaround in there. And please comment if you think that such a feature should be built-in.

Arcturus

@arcturus140

is it allowed to have whitespace at the beginning of the line, before the format rules?

Ciarán

@bubonicfred

does anyone know the syntax for exporting to ical using topydo?

matrixbot

@matrixbot

pablito1755 Ciarán (Gitter): I'm not familiar with the ical format, but topydo doesn't appear to have any built in commands to "export" per se. Could something be done with the -F option of the "ls" command to format the output?

matrixbot

@matrixbot

pablito1755 @arc

Ciarán

@bubonicfred

Possibly, it's not a huge deal breaker for me, it does list outputting to ical in the docs, but doesn't explain how beyond requiring the calendar dependancy

matrixbot

@matrixbot

pablito1755 Arcturus (Gitter): The original set of formatting rules are here : https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt There is nothing explicitly mentionned about a whitespace at the start of the line. I would imagine it depends on individual client implementations. Some will surely be more forgiving than others.

pablito1755 I hadn't noticed that before, but per the docs it would seem "ls -f ical" should do it.

pablito1755
-f : Specify the OUTPUT format, being 'text' (default), 'dot' or 'ical' or
'json'.
...

 * 'ical' - iCalendar (RFC 2445). Is not supported in Python 3.2. Be aware
            that this is not a read-only operation, todo items may obtain
            an 'ical' tag with a unique ID. Completed todo items may be
            archived.

Ciarán

@bubonicfred

Ah cool, I'll give that a shot

matrixbot

@matrixbot

pablito1755 From the built in help

Arcturus

@arcturus140

@matrixbot thank you, i'll make my regex more forgiving then

Ciarán

@bubonicfred

Hmm, so the todotxt spec implies, but does not explicitly state that contexts should be lower case

Arcturus

@arcturus140

@bubonicfred contexts can be any case
