Recurring Tasks
Recurring tasks not working for me right now. Is this a bug or is this not implemented (yet)?
I never tok the time to understand recurring tasks. but it should not be hard to make it work. PR welcome
How is supposed to work? Make a new task when marking it as done? Or every week/dsy? (But this should not work since there is no timer...)
v1.x makes a new task when marking it as done. this is perfect for my workflow. the timer idea is interesting, but i can't see any workflow (for me) that would need this.
After completing a recurring task, a new task witha new due date is created. The next due date can be configured in the task by defining a rec:4d means the next due date is 4 days in the future from completion date.
rec:+4d means the next due date is 4 days in the future from the original due date. When you're lazy then this might be in the past. ;-)
Thanks, now I understand. All your code is still there in qtodotxt2 so we probably just need small changes to make it work
I use these tasks for things not related to programming. I use it to remind myself for pc backup, car maintenance and taking out my garbage. It's a real help here.
In fact some code was in a deleted file. so I moved it back refactored a bit and it seems to work now. Let me know https://github.com/QTodoTxt/QTodoTxt2/commit/8e2761ad7abe632257414ae34bff8165b35db2d1
found not a bug, but would be a great tweak. due dates get updated just fine. is it possible to update the threshold date also? as an example: (B) Chevron +Personal @Bills due:2017-06-30 t:2017-06-25 rec:+1m
when i mark this complete i get: (B) Chevron +Personal @Bills due:2017-07-30 t:2017-06-25 rec:+1m
not sure how the programming logic would work since you can have the due date update based on original date or the date when it is actually marked as done ( + )
Oh I missed this while implementing recurrent tasks in Qtodotxt 1. Qtodotxt 1 could also benefit from this add-on.
The code is exactly the same in both. Just a bit cleaned up in 2

I just wanted to start making recurring tasks respond to threshold date.

I understand: I can just do the changes in QTodoTxt and the code will be available in QTodoTxt2. (That would be ideal!) Is that correct?
@sttrebo: as an example: (B) Chevron +Personal @bills due:2017-06-30 t:2017-06-25 rec:+1m when i mark this complete i get: (B) Chevron +Personal @bills due:2017-07-30 t:2017-06-25 rec:+1m
Should it look like this @sttrebo :? (B) Chevron +Personal @bills due:2017-07-30 t:2017-07-25 rec:+1m
@topas-rec i haven't looked at that code for a while, but if I wrote that code is similar, then it probably is ;-) probably better code in qtodotxt2 too
QTodoTxt2 seems to have threshold date handling. @sttrebo have you tested QTodoTxt2? I am nearly done with the fix in QTodoTxt.
yes, been using that feature in QTodoTxt2 for a while and works exactly as it should. FYI, I use it to track my credit card bills. Due date when it's due and Threshold 1 week prior to make sure I pay it on time.
Curiosity: Is there a reason to keep updating QTodoTxt? I thought QTodoTxt2 was a newer/better version?
If you use qtodotxt2 for accounting then we can say it is stable ;-) there are still some usability issues with qtodotxt2 which I would like to solve before releasing it. Then it is missing packaging code for osx,windowd, etc... I hope somr people will step in and help with that..
