The bug probably affects creating other things directly from the drop down selector.

Reported by Ken Schumacher.

Alternatively a cleanup tool to locate and unstar done actions and complete projects (and old ticklers). Alternatively again, hide complete projects and done actions from starred lists. (Would you ever want to see a starred completed project?)

This would assist people who's customisations are regularly clobbered unnecessarily by updates and also reduce needless download/importing of unchanged tiddlers.

One thing that I've encountered several times is the situation where I want to change a task's done date or change the task without changing the done date.

For instance, sometimes I use a small notepad to record tasks when I'm away from the computer. If I create a new task on that and then finish it, I'll go back and put it in mGTD for my records. But if I forget and put it in the next morning, now it seems like I finished it that day instead.

Also, sometimes I'll have completed a single task that ends up being part of a larger project. If I then create the project and assign the task to it, the task has changed and so now it seems like was done on the day that I put it in the project, instead of when it was actually done. Could also happen for anything change (like renaming it or adding a note).

I think it'd be worth it even though it'd increase file size, since the concepts of modified date and done date are pretty different (modified more for things like syncing issues or timeline of changes, while done is specific to when a task was actually done for historical purposed).

Should be configurable

Looks like the are filtered when multiple contexts is off...

And check for any other other IE problems.

If I put at least one double quote (") in a tiddler title, I get a
slew of:
Error in macro <>>>

I tried this on a fresh mGSD file, and I get the same error. On a
fresh TiddlyWiki file, I don't see any problems.

Maybe a bug to track? (Or maybe a known issue...)

Thanks,

Mat:
While on the topic;
I'ld love for the quick-add field to be half the size width wize and
in instead on the right hand side show the 'short form commands' i.e,
for actions: W: Waiting For N: Next F: Future S: Starred
and sliders with all existing projects listed etc.

I do not see any "Next Actions" in the mGSD "Next and Waiting Actions
by Context" view. All I see are "Waiting" actions. I suspect there is
a bug in the code, but I am not sufficiently versed in tiddlywiki
javascript to fix it without investing a lot of time. Has anyone else
noticed this and created an issue? Can you please post the fix or a reference to a previous closed item addressing this?
Thanks.

When a "Reference" is created for a "Project" whose title ends with a round bracket ")" that round bracket is truncated and an additional square bracket "]" and space is inserted following the associated tiddler. Example of tags for the "Reference" item
Reference PROJ [[60-Day Forecast (March 2010]] ]
should be
Reference PROJ [[60-Day Forecast (March 2010)]]

Also note that if you subsequently use the pulldown menu to choose the associated Project the proper tiddler link is made in addition to the incorrect one; like this

Reference PROJ [[60-Day Forecast (March 2010]] ] [[60-Day Forecast (March 2010)]]

Discussion on gtd-tiddlywiki, search for 'Using dependencies in Quick-Add'

I've been testing mgtd using tiddlyweb to host, and I've found a fairly severe bug (which I believe has been reported before, link escapes me)

To set up a test environment:

1. Create account on http://hoster.peermore.com
2. Import "http://monkeygtd.tiddlyspot.com/downloadempty" into a new bag called "${username}.monkeygtd" (import action is represented by bent arrow icon next to bags heading)
3. Create a new recipe "${username}.gtdwiki" with the "system" and "${username}.monkeygtd" (system bag contains the plugins for saving to tiddlyweb)

To reproduce bug:

1. Delete a tiddler (tested with actions and projects, either using the red "x" or the delete link),

2. Click "save changes".

3. The save works, but afterward MGTD macros fail with errors like

   Error while executing macro <<mgtdList>>:
   TypeError: Cannot call method 'matchesEvalExpr' of null
   

After reloading from the server, macros work again. It only seems to be triggered when a tiddler is deleted before saving.

Therefore, I think it would be great if there was a way to
automatically create a new action from a tickler without removing the
tickler. Thus, the same tickler could spawn off multiple actions,
with some sort of date-based suffix added. Either that the "Make
Action" button was changed to do this for recurring ticklers, or that
a new button is added.

Thumbs up!... I've been thinking of this for several weeks already. I
also think it would be great idea :).

A very nice idea. I like it a lot. I'll give it a go.

Simon.

This one is not in the "mGSD roadmap"...

It would have been nice to have it...

Currently the choice is an alert or silence. Message would be better. Suggested by Agl here:

Suggested by youngheart80

Looking at the template the macro for the "new dependent action" link should tag the new tiddler with the context/realm/title of the current action. However it doesn't do any of that. To replicate open any action tiddler and click on the "new dependent action" link

I can modify source code, any advice will be appreciated, thank you.

"Yep the problem is still there, all you have to do is open say the
waiting action
'Storage request form' edit it putting
[ ] Hello world
into the notes area and save and then the note icon no longer renders
on the dashboard"

I have mGSD on hoster.peermore.com (pretty easy to set up and works great!).

Realms created by the top menu don't get saved to the server though. Here is what I found with Chrome's JS console.

Realm created via process menu correctly has server fields set:

$ store.getTiddler('ProBono')['fields']
Object
server.bag: "ericdrex-mGSD-data"
server.etag: "ericdrex-mGSD-data/ProBono/2:95a921f38bea709badfbdcdbef949ac004013aae"
server.host: "http://hoster.peermore.com"
server.page.revision: "2:95a921f38bea709badfbdcdbef949ac004013aae"
server.title: "ProBono"
server.type: "tiddlyweb"
server.workspace: "bags/ericdrex-mGSD-data"
taggly.excerpts: "descr"
__proto__: Object

Realm created via top menu doesn't have server fields set, so it doesn't save:

$ store.getTiddler('Test')['fields']
Object
changecount: "1"
__proto__: Object

I don't know how to fix this. I tried replacing the "+" button with the macro from the process menu, but it crashed my tab :/

Possibly auto clear after creation or maybe there could be a button to clear the text.

Requires a 'done date' probably.

Feature
If you give Projects and Activities a Due Date and Done Date you can used the Due Date as a tickler insted of creating a Tickler Tiddler. The new format for tiddlers would be.
'tiddler' => 'New Tiddler',
'modified' => Time.now.convertToYYYYMMDDHHMM,
'created' => Time.now.convertToYYYYMMDDHHMM,
'modifier' => 'YourName',
'tags' => '',
'mgtd_done' => '',
'mgtd_due' => '',
'text' => '',

Steps to reproduce:

1. Under process tab, click "new context", and create a context "mycontext".
2. Click the "+" button next to Future, and create a task "mytask".

The mytask tiddler is empty - it does not contain context checkboxes, project/area/associated-contact/depends-on drop downs. a realm drop down, or any of the normal stuff that appears with a task. Additionally, the task does not even appear in the list of futures in the mycontext context.

The work around is to instead click the "+" button next to "Next" or "Waiting" on the mycontext tiddler, and then change the task to a future.

I am using Firefox 3.6.3.

Simple copy-paste bug.

Git doesn't have revision numbers

Probably just needs CSS fixes and some testing.

(See Sep 5 2009 post from Matus)

1. Create project 'Test project'
2. In the project create an action 'Test action'
3. With both tiddlers open edit the 'Test project' and rename it
   'Test project 2'
4. Close both
5. Open the 'Test Action' and it is no longer associated to a
   project.
6. Open the 'Test project' and it is associated
7. Edit the 'Test Action' and the tags are correct
8. Click 'Done' and now it is re-associated

The mGSD "Next and Waiting Actions by Context Single Col" view shows
an "Error in macro <>" at the top of the window. Can you tell me what that's all about and how to fix? Thanks.

The time would normally be hidden and set to some default value. However you could show the time and change it if you wanted to.

Can you guide me how to translate MonkeyGTD.
I want to translate it into Vietnamese.

Thank you!
