re: NotePlan Todo in Colour
FAO: (@raguay)
It would be nice to tweak the plugin to support NotePlan's preferences for lists / tasks (i.e: I have it set to ignore - Thing as a task, and just recognise - [ ] Thing, but it has preferences to use * instead of - for lists, etc…)
I've made changes locally to support my preferences (i.e: hardcoded checks for - [ ]), and may try to hack in support for this if I find the time, but I thought I'd file in case @raguay has the time or inclination to do it.
Thanks a lot for this plugin!
I'm looking into this. I will most likely have to have the user tweak the program for their preference (set a flag at the top for the type of designation they want to use). I do not see a way to look at the Preference setting for NotePlan from an external program. But, I just sent the author a question about that.
I'll also be using the same fix for my PopClip extension and Alfred workflow as well. Lot's of work!
You can probably use system('defaults read co.noteplan isAsteriskDefault') and system('defaults read co.noteplan allowListMarkAsTodo') to get the relevant preferences. Maybe there's a Ruby library out there to deal with preferences (https://rubygems.org/gems/osx-plist comes to mind, but it's not exactly the same thing…)
