Feature Request: Rules Engine

Posted June 20, 2008 by msgile in feature request

Taskpaper is a great application, I love that is simply works on formatted text.

Feature Request: Rules Engine

A Rules engine would allow taskpaper users to customize task paper to act for them when editing. Rules could work like mail where each rule has a criteria and then a series of actions. The actions could be taken from the current task paper menu items with some helpful extras added (like "add text", "add to ical")

  • The rules engine would be tiggered by editing a line (or type a new one) and either adding an end of line or leaving the line (the cursor).
  • Rules could work like mail:
    • Each rule has a criteria, and the rules are evaluated sequentually. like 'tag "@due"'
    • Rules can be a series of TP actions, like "add text ?", "move to project"
    • Rules could also be apple scripts

With a rules engine ical integration could be done

  • Rule Example:
    • criteria: has tag "due"
    • action: 'apple script to insert into ical base on date inside "@due($date)"'

Attachments in TaskPaper

Posted June 14, 2008 by mkt in attachments taskpaper featurerequest feature files file

NOTE: Just noticed, TaskPaper 2 Dev (51) has the Email functionality (though it displays as message://%3CBAY105--gibberish-80@phx.gbl%3E) - close enough. Would like to see Files as well.

TaskPaper is one awesome application. However, I have one feature I'd like to see: file / mail attachments, like so:

Alt

Also like in iCal:

Alt

Any way that it's implementable into TaskPaper? That would be killer.

Thanks!

  • Drag and drop rearranging of complete projects, tasks, also collapsing projects (like Sticky notes can collapse themselves)
  • Allow for command+1, command+2 navigation of projects. In short keyboard shortcuts
  • Integration with Leopard data stores (iCal todos)
  • Remove toolbar toggle button from the Preferences window. (The white pill at the right, it's useless)
  • QuickLook plugin for TaskPaper files.
  • URL and attachments support
  • Services menu support to add text to projects, notes
  • Mark complete projects as done.

Suggestion - Tabs to show item count

Posted March 11, 2008 by Louis Yong in feature suggestion tabs item count

Hi,

I realise you're working hard on Taskpaper 2.0 but would it be possible to have Taskpaper to display the number of items in each tab? eg. if I have a tab for a project "Errands", and there are 5 items in this project. It would be nice if the tab could show Errands (5).

Thanks.

Feature Request DiskSync

Posted December 5, 2007 by ironiridis in feature feature request

It'd be great to have a checkbox in the preferences to always have TaskPaper immediately commit all changes to disk. In other words, within a few seconds after typing into a document, the entire contents of the document is written to disk.

Similarly (but less important) TaskPaper would periodically check (again, every few seconds) whether the file on disk has been modified. If so, automatically load it from disk.

Effectively what I want is so I never have to choose to re-open or save a document ever again. I rarely make mistakes, and when I do, I can undo them with TaskPaper's undo system.
