ToDO List Maybe?

[cjlive]

G'Day Gents,

I currently looking for a good todo list software package. What is everyone using these days?

Maybe its possible to add a todo list into WeBuilder where you can view a overall list of all current projects and a option to view only the current project?

Cheers
Chris

What is wrong with using text files, are they outdated? I use txt todo lists all the time.

Example:

Code: Select all

+ This one done
+ This as well
% Some work in progress
* Some work to be done

keynote is a very good tool for to-do-lists (freeware)

but what about inetragtion a simple to do list (maybe with timeline) into the project manager

Does this help?

"ToDoList 4.5.12 - A simple and effective way to keep on top of your tasks."

hi bendis,

this siftware looks really good. however, it would still be great to have something similar inside webeditor tied to the projects.

cheers, akj

I think know what you have in mind: Something like a "status button" for each file in a project, like "progress 50%, 75%; priority: low etc."?

Let Karlis finish the 2006 version first, before we surge Blumentals for so many additional features

[drjee]

yes, exactly, you open a project and get the status and warnings for tasks scheduled soon. when is the next version going to be released?

I would not like (yet) to integrate todo in the editors, because I do not want them to become "everything but a kitchen sink". Probably some addon or small program that does the todo would be better solution.

The problem with adding everything is that it makes editor slow, and I am sure you do not want to see "Loading..." for 10 - 20 seconds on every startup as it happens with other editors.

What do you say?

See my post about customisation. This would be exactly one of those scripts I was on about. When someone wants to use it they can add it, if not then it doesn't has to be part of the program.

I see a lot of those tiny additions on this here requests forum which could be solved in this way..

(sorry for hijacking this thread btw )

Going over WeBuilder 08 as potential main tool :- ) ...sorry to revive this old thread.
I vote for a simple integration of 'todo lists' at least per file-ideally per project as well.
E-text editor has done a great job of making a simple 'html like' linking to comments/todo's eg. \\TODO ....
See it right in the beginning of their the screencast: http://www.e-texteditor.com/

Maybe alternative would be to "show boomarks only" where user can place a bookmark next to a line of code/comment?
What do you guys say?

first, thanks for searching and using the original post!

second, I'm with you. There are other todo list threads here where I felt the same way as karlis: use text files! But after using textmate for a while, //TODO is pretty great. It's a really easy way to see a set of TODOs across a project's files. That way todo: notes can be kept close to the code they're referencing but you can still see a top level TODO list for the project.

most of the functionality is already built into webuilder. It's basically a hidden find-in-files. Render the lines in the found files to a new view. Get fancy and replace //TODO with a number when displayed. done. :)

Hi syrupcore,
Thanks for the follow up. I been busy and away only to return and find 2010 version YAY!
Also, I like your tip, seems like search is improved in a new version QUITE a bit. It may just be sufficient way of organizing since 2008 version was even crashing when doing project wide searches.
Edit note: I also understand Karlis's of not wanting to be 'tool for everything' but getting close to being 'Swiss army knife for web' (not a toolbox) would be cool
