To-Do List RFC

[kelo81]

Hello everybody. I was testing the To-Do list and I find it really nice.
I just think that it will be really amazing if the plugin would be able you to save the list into a *.txt file. With this feature, It might be possible to have a quick report of the pending items readable from a normal "todo.txt" file.
What do you think about this RFC?

sounds nice

[David Perfors]

Me too, go ahead

Hello,

The idea is good.

May be other than the txt format, the XML format could be used.

All the best,
Michael

May be other than the txt format, the XML format could be used.

Actually a user-string format will be much better:

Default TODO.xml format:

Code: xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<todolist>
    $(BEGIN)
    <todo>
        <type>$(TYPE)</type>
        <user>$(USER)</user>
        <prio>$(PRIO)</prio>
        <line>$(LINE)</line>
        <file>$(FILE)</line>
        <text>$(TEXT)</text>
    </todo>
    $(END)
</todolist>

Default TODO.txt format:

Code: bash

This is my ToDo list:

$(BEGIN)
 * $(TYPE): $(TEXT)
$(END)

Along with checkboxes for:
[ ] Escape XML entities
[ ] Order by priority
[ ] Order by type

What do you think?

Default TODO.txt format:

Code
This is my ToDo list: $(BEGIN) * $(TYPE): $(TEXT)$(END)
Along with checkboxes for:
[ ] Escape XML entities
[ ] Order by priority
[ ] Order by type

What do you think?

I like it!!! It's even better than my original Idea, and more powerfull!!

Yiannis, would it be possible to work on the already existing plugin? (I mean, you are the one who created it, so you may know the possibilities), I think it doesn't make sense to rewrite the entire plugin, I mean, it is an amazing plugin as is; and nobody will do it better, just adding this feature will be enought...

Of course it is. If someone wants to work on it, I 'm here to answer any questions.
