As I never use times in task start or due times, I'd like to be able to turn off the way this script sometimes creates times inside dates. There's an example of this in issue #3.

It would be nice if the script added an option to repeat the task with start/due dates measured from the completion time instead of the original start/due times.

Ex: the task
- test @due(2017-10-09) @repeat(+2d)
when completed would become
- test @due(2017-10-09) @repeat(+2d) @done(2017-10-08)
and would repeat as
- test @due(2017-10-10) @repeat(+2d)
instead of
- test @due(2017-10-11) @repeat(+2d)

I hope that makes sense. Maybe this could be accomplished with different @repeat tags, such as @repeatstart and @repeatdone?

With a few tweaks, this script could put TaskPaper at or above the OmniFocus level.

Thanks for your work on this—great script!

Scenario:

1. - some task @start(2021-07-19) @due(2021-07-19) @repeat(Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday) @repeat-from-done

2. Task above gets marked done on 7-19 (tag added: @done(2021-07-19)), but for whatever reason the repeat script isn't run immediately (e.g., maybe the user never launched it, or the task list was marked done outside of TaskPaper).

3. User opens TaskPaper the next day (7-20) and launches taskpaper-repeat to generate recurrences.

4. Expected: - some task @start(2021-07-20) ... is created.
   Actual: - some task @start(2021-07-21) ... is created.

Looking at the source code of the script, it appears this is happening around lines 27-29, where the new date is not actually being generated from the "done" date, but from the "now" date. In many cases those will be the same, but if the script is not run at the same time the @done tag is added, they could be entirely different dates.

Hi

Is any know how to use alfred to make this script auto execute

thanks!

I'm testing this out before adopting it. In this small test case:

- test-note @due(today) @repeat(+1 week) @other @tags @here
This is the note to go with it.

Unfortunately it doesn't work as expected as the new task doesn't have the notes. Minimally, the updated copy of the repeated task could be placed under the completed one, and the notes would move over to it. Though ideally it should be fully duplicated.

I think there's a bug that occurs occasionally:

With test task:
- testzzz @due(2019-02-01) @start(2018-12-01) @repeat(+2 months) @done(2019-01-11)
it produces this repeat:
- testzzz @due(2019-04-04 01:00) @start(2019-02-01) @repeat(+2 months)

I was expecting
- testzzz @due(2019-04-01 01:00) @start(2019-02-01) @repeat(+2 months)
