V0.4.1 is here now.

Thank you very much. I just did a quick test and it seems there is a problem. If I note a todo without tag, without project and without date it does not appear in "inbox" nor with the filters

I look more in detail...

bepolymathe · 2022-09-04T18:48:34.505Z

Okay. I had misunderstood. If a todo is in a journal entry with no due date mentioned it is considered to have a due date on that day. Isn't that right?

Indeed, I move the todo somewhere else in another notebook it appears well in inbox...

This is a bit of an unsettling behavior for me because I regularly write down an undated todo in a journal entry during a meeting to come back to it later. As a result, it doesn't appear in my todo list in "inbox"...

Yes, tasks in the note with the title YYYY-MM-DD will be assigned the same date string as the note title by default.

I will add settings for it so that we can enable/disable it in the next release.

That's great. Thanks !

On the other hand, I think that this feature based on titles could solve a problem raised several times on the forum: distinguish planned dates (in which I start working on something) from due dates.

One could imagine that todo's in a journal entry in YYYY-MM-DD format are scheduled dates. That the due dates are those that are written in the line at //YYYY-MM-DD

I would find this useful as it is a current limitation of Joplin's todo notes where you can only use the reminder as the due date. It would then be necessary to simply show both types of dates in the panel using different colors for example.

What do you think @SeptemberHX ? Maybe also @Imperial_Squid ?

SeptemberHX · 2022-09-05T07:08:11.213Z

It will confuse users if //YYYY-MM-DD describes different things on different situations. I think we need to keep it as simple as possible.

Currently, maybe you can use //YYYY-MM-DD~YYYY-MM-DD instead.

If we want to go further, I think we need to change the todo string rules. Maybe just follow todo.txt or taskwarrior?

Oh ! This is interesting. I didn't know that. It may be a workaround even if it's less clear. That said, it would be ideal if instead of displaying a percentage, it displayed a number of days remaining

Eventually yes. It seems to me that it was the @CalebJohn’s idea to have a better integration with todo.txt

That would have the advantage of allowing to use a kind of widely used standard... probably better for mobile use in the future.

Imperial_Squid · 2022-09-05T20:21:43.502Z

I agree that //YYYY-MM-DD~YYYY-MM-DD is a good replacement and I think having that ability to express a task as multiple days is pretty essential for a good task management system

I've previously used todo.txt and really liked it (I only dropped it because I couldn't find a good enough implementation with other apps), I think moving towards that would be a very good idea!

this looks very useful, is it available in the plugin browser yet?

SeptemberHX · 2022-09-09T06:44:39.121Z

Yes. You can find it by searching with bundle.

SeptemberHX · 2022-09-10T04:49:38.917Z

V0.4.2 is now published.

And Happy Mid-Autumn Festival from China!

Nice, it’s the first plugin I try with filters
It would be beautiful if the filters will use existing things (notebooks, tags, dates) from Joplin. And also the possibility of selecting multiple tags in the filter options.

It will make the filters too complex for a panel with limited width (or height if you place it below the other panels). Three (or maybe Four) filters at the most for a clean UI currently.

I agree. However, I cannot create a suitable UI design for the multiple selection. Currently, all the UI elements are based on bootstrap, and the multiple selection in bootstrap takes up a lot of space Select · Bootstrap v5.2

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival (late)!

You should really take a look at this plugin, the preview feature is something I really like, he's probably overlooked by most people, and if you're willing to add him to the toolbox it's really great.

Again, I feel that more and more plugins, the sidebar will also become bloated and take up more space, should you add selection settings that allow people to choose what they want, hide those that people don't need.

How should I close the sidebar, I can't find the close button.

The latest version has the settings for each sub-plugin, and you can enable/disable them as you like.

Currently you can not hide it. But it is a good idea to add this feature to the next release.

Benjamin-Watson0:

the preview feature is something I really like

Actually I am trying to add the preview feature for the footnotes in another plugin: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/plugin-many-enhancement-for-my-daily-usage-v1-1-1-2022-09-08/

Benjamin-Watson0 · 2022-09-11T14:24:33.917Z

I have updated the plugin, I will try another of your plugins, thank you for your work.

One more thing, the to-do list in it, completely disappeared when I ticked it off. If I wanted to cancel, I had to go to the notes to find this to-do. Can I expect it to be displayed at the bottom of the todo, or add a filter for completed items?

I believe this is important.

bepolymathe · 2022-09-11T14:44:28.087Z

This is something that would be useful. I often have todo with links in them. They are visually rendered but I can't click on them. This makes sense since the click leads to the todo. But if I could preview without clicking it would be great...
