[QUOTE=kingsinger;115845]Periodically in the list of tasks I get a line item that reads "Was due Sun Jan" It has no date and year and no description of the task.
[/QUOTE] Ver 005 above should fix that, I think. |
How difficult would it be to change the output of the due script, so that it breaks the items up as follows:
Due in the coming week Less than x months Overdue More than x months Overdue Maybe this isn't relevant to a lot of people, but at least for me, the most immediately overdue items tend to be the most important ones for me to see. If a task is pretty stale, I may not feel I can delete it, but if it has sat for a long time it also may not be as urgently overdue as some of the newer tasks in the overdue list. As things are presently constituted, if you have a rather long list of overdue items, as I am not so proud to say that I do, the most recent overdue items sort to the bottom of the list. If the list is long enough <g>, they aren't even visible on my screen, because the list runs off of it. That being said, within a overdue in the last x month view, I wouldn't mind seeing the most overdue item first (as things are now). I know that at a certain point, if one want lots of sorting and filtering options, one may as well just open up OF. But between this script, hazel, dropbox, and simplenote, I think I may have a system that allows me to view my tasks other places (like on my android phone). So having a little more control over the organization would be helpful. |

Yes, I think it has fixed it. |

Spoke too soon. Added a few items, and Sun Jan is back. KS |

Looks like this may happen when it is trying to pull out tasks that are nested down a couple of levels. I added a project using Curt Clifton's Populate Template AS. It's a relatively involved one. Then I added due dates to a couple of items. Now in my text file, I see two iterations of the project header is the "Due" section, but neither of the tasks are listed. Instead, it looks like this: [CODE] ProjectName: *15:00 Sun Jan [/CODE] FWIW, 15:00 is the default time I've set for due date reminders. |

Can't reproduce that problem here with deeply nested tasks. (The Sqlite tables are flat, as it happens) [QUOTE=kingsinger;115917]I added a project using Curt Clifton's Populate Template AS.

Anything else unusual ? |

Otherwise, it's just letters. The hierarchy is as follows: Project Name Phase 1: Admin Make Client File: Project Name In the example above, "Make Client File: Project Name" is not getting pulled out into the text file. |
If you'd like to send me an [URL="http://forums.omnigroup.com/showpost.php?p=100455&postcount=4"]OPML [/URL]version of that project (or a similar one which is not getting through) , I'll try to take a look at it over the weekend.
(When you use that older OPML script, just select the top-level node of the outline you want to export - the sub-tree will be exported with it) |
Will the OPML script work with 10.6.8? Or does it use the newer version of Python?

Hi there
I have updated the start date script to order it by start date, not due date. This was giving me a strange looking list with the dates all out of order. The change is on line 34: from ORDER BY t.effectiveDateDue, f.name, p.name, c.name to ORDER BY t.effectiveDateToStart, f.name, p.name, c.name |
All times are GMT -8. The time now is 12:10 AM. |
