First I wanted to say that this piece of software is amazing, the most useful thing I've found in a long time!
I had a suggestion, it's to do with the comments:
I don't have "Show comments field always" checked, but I like the tooltip you get when you hover over a task that has a comment. It would be easier to read though at a glance if in the tooltip the comment kept it's indent. If the comment is longer than the tooltip it wraps the comment but the left side indent only applies for the beginning of the paragraph instead of the whole paragraph.
The second thing might be a bug, I'm not sure.
I use allsnap to keep my windows organized on the screen, I have ToDoList open always on the right side of the screen touching the side. Whenever I reboot my computer and open ToDoList it always opens too far over to the right (as in partially off the screen).
This might not even be ToDoList's fault, it could be allSnap interfering...but it only happens with ToDoList, no other program.
Cheers!

>> suggestion
this might be hard to achieve because with a variable width font getting the second and subsequent lines to line up with the first line is, from memory, a nightmare
however, i can fully appreciate that it would make the infotips much easier to read so i'll have a look into it. btw, you've also reminded me that someone asked for long comments to be truncated to some maximum length so that the info tips did not take too long to appear. i would welcome your input on this.
>> possible bug
could you mail me a step by step guide to reproducing the problem, including all the necessary 'allsnap' settings, as this should simplify the solution.

I had one more suggestion (strictly eyecandy, nothing more):
It's to change the "Hide Show Edit Fields" button on the toolbar to show clicked (on) when the Edit Fields is showing, and to show not-clicked (off) when it's hidden? At the moment it's the other way around - was just thinking about it the other day, most of the time I have the Edit Fields not showing to give more real estate to the list.
What if you made it an option to have comments truncated to a certain length or to leave them full, I personally prefer them full...but then, my comments are never really so long that it's a problem.
Ok I did a few tests and it seems the problem has nothing to do with allSnap.
The problem is that I'm using the small icons for the toolbar and I have the width of the program as small as possible (352px). Regardless of where the program is last, whether it's touching the bottom-right side of the screen or in the middle of the screen, whenever I exit the program completely and then start it again it opens with a bigger width (400px). This wouldn't be that bothersome except that I always keep it at the bottom-right side of my screen so whenever I reboot the computer and load the program, it's still in the same place I left it, but it's 48px off the side of the screen.
I store my settings in an INI file.

can you send me your ini file (any private stuff removed) so that i can try to reproduce it.

First off, I would like to say nice job. I use this tool everyday and have got many co-workers on the band wagon.
Only 2 suggestions...
1) Can the Comments font be independant of the task list font? I like to format notes with a fixed width font.
2) Can the tasks that are overdue have popup in a window similar to Outlooks reminder window? Possibly add time to the Due Date to give it better "granularity".
Thanks.

hi mark,
1) i can see the value of this, i've just been avoiding it
2) can you send me a screenshot of the outlook reminder window because i'm not sure i follow you on this one.

Problem:
It seems the check for due tasks doesn't obey the option "Treat tasks whose subtasks are all completed as also being 'completed'". I have a top-level task with subtasks. When completeing all the subtasks, the top-level task is correctly marked as completed. The problem arises when the parent task has a due date. Even though the task is marked as complete, performing a check for due tasks finds the top-level task. It requires explicitly placing a check in the "Completed" checkbox in order to be "truly" complete.
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a new tasklist.
2. Create a new task and assign it a due date for today.
3. Create a subtask to the task created above.
4. Ensure the option "Treat tasks whose subtasks are all completed as also being 'completed'" is selected.
5. Mark the subtask as complete. The top-level task should also be complete now.
6. Perform "Show Tasks Due Today".
Expected:
When using the feature "Treat tasks whose subtasks are all completed as also being 'completed'", any task which is complete under that rule should not be considered due.

I have updated Kyle's todolist viewer, so that it now allows you to add/edit tasks on your Pocket PC.
it saves and loads todolists created with .dan.g. todolist program.
the article is http://codeproject.com/netcf/todolistppc.asp
have a look and let me know what you think.

well, I'll do my best, but you can never predict the future.
I've got quite a few plans (such as encrypted todolists) and I want to add in as many features as possible, but it may take some time to get it all done.
I'll keep updating my website and the codeproject page as I go.

Hello.
I am transferring my ToDoList XML file from work to home. I have it in different directories. However if I add file reference to task, then it doesn't work. I suggest, that it will use relative path to referenced file (always or optionally).
Visual Studio does it this way.
What do you think of this? I think it shouldn't be such different thing to do this. Now I cannot add reference file to task.
thanks
Peter

Hi Peter
Kospsu kindly added the following for relative path
Quoted from earlier post
"Simply enter the sub-folder\docfile.rtf where the todotasklist.xml resides.
ex:
C:\Tasklist\Project1\todotasklist.xml
the full path to C:\Tasklist\Project1\DOCS\DOC1.rtf is not required.
Just enter DOCS\DOC1.rtf in the input area for file reference and it opens up nicely!!"
I also tranfer from work to home, mostly on USB drive.
Although found it easier to alter my Home PC to the same directory structure on work PC, works great.
Hope this is what you wanted

First, please look at the source code I saw:
static HTMLCHARMAPITEM HTMLCHARARRAY[] =

{ 150, "–" },
{ '?, "¹" },

{ '?, "³" },
{ '?, "¶" },
{ '?, "·" },
{ '?, "«" },
{ '?, "»" },
{ '?, "¼" },

{ '?, "Ü" },
{ '\xfc', "ü" },
{ '?, "Ý" },
{ '?, "ý" },
{ '', "ÿ" },
{ '&', "&" },
};
did you notice that there are many "'?" that another "'" is missing?
And it happended in other 3 places:
1. ToDoCtrl, line 4318: DrawGutterItemText(pNCGDI->pDC, "?, rItem, pNCGDI->nTextAlign, crTextColor);
2. ToDoCtrl, line 328: m_eTimeSpent.InsertButton(0, ID_TIMEEDITBTN, "?", "Start/Stop Clock",
DEF_BTNWIDTH + 4, "Wingdings", TRUE);
3. ToDoCtrl, line 98: { TDCC_TRACKTIME, "?, (TDC_SORTBY)-1, DT_CENTER, FALSE, "Wingdings", TRUE },
And I have to tell you that it remains the same ever since the first time I use TDL, I think it was about version 3.x

this should get fixed in the next version where all the characters will be replaced by their ascii code equivalents.

All of those lines look correct on my system. Perhaps it is because you are using a different default character (font) set? The three lines you referenced in the ToDoCtrl have a superscript 1 character in between two double quote characters.

I am using Windows 2003 Simplifed Chinese version, but vc++ 6.x is english version, I do not know whether it has something to do with the font.

The characters that are causing you problems are special graphic characters (with ASCII code >= 0x80), so I suspect that the interpretation of these special codes are different on your 2003 machine. Dan indicated that he would convert the characters to their numeric equivalent, so that should help you out.

I find the track time feature very useful, especially for looking back and seeing where the hours of the day disappeared to.
I have discovered what appears to be a problem where I have multiple tasklists open. I hold one list open which I use as a "weekly report" and it is here that I use the track time feature. At the same time I have another list open which contains the list outstanding issues.
What I have found is that when I have turned the "little red clock" on a task in my Weekly report list, then switch to another tasklist the clock in the first list doesn't increment.
I have hunted for an option relating to this but have only found "Only track time on a task if that task is currently selected", but this only seems to relate to the active tasklist.
Does this sound like a bug, or a problem in how I'm using it ?

sorry craig, i never anticipated such an example of usage. i always thought that people would track tasks in multiple tasklists where the active tasklist would be the one they were working on.
i'll have have to have a rethink about this, but by all means offer your 2c as to how you would like/expect it to work.
