Did you check if a similar feature request has already been reported? Yes - I found none.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's kinda related to a problem as I tried to use sleek for my todo.txt and done.txt files and failed because I am not able to configure the proper name.

Describe the solution you'd like As stated in the title above it would be cool to either change default paths in the settings or alternatively get propted for a done.txt path as well when configuring a new todo.txt location.

Describe alternatives you've considered I cloned the repo and changed the hardcoded path in todo.mjs to match my hardcoded path and recompiled the project to ba able to use my fix personally.

This feature will be very useful for many of us.

Now, setting up a todo.txt means that the file for done will be named todo_done.txt.

I am currently in need of the standard filenames (todo.txt and done.txt) so that I can use these files with other software too (ex. simpletask on android).

I really wish that such an option will be added in the near future.

Thanks, Mike

+1 here, came looking for this. Running todo.txt on Android and a VSCode plugin, need some consistent filenaming!

I use Simpletask on android too.

A side mention here of a sort-of bug. The popup describing what will happen when you archive todos shows the wrong filename: image

As per the rest of this thread, file name is actually todo_done.txt

Also I'm using Markdown so my todo.md should be archived into done.md. My TODO is inside Obsidian so having everything in Markdown makes the most sense.

Let's not close here, I'm working on this as part of 2.0.

A workaround for now could be to add a symlink redirecting to the correct file. ln -s done.txt todo_done.txt worked for me on Linux.

@lukas-runge @18107 @khuongduybui @ivysrono @jt196 can be tested in https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v2.0.0-dev13. Use right mouse click on the file tabs and you'll find an option to change the done file location for each corresponding todo file.
