Hi,

Lazarus is awesome. Ok, now that I made this message relevant to Lazarus, I can continue asking my question. ;-)

I'm primarily working on Linux - 99% of the time. I'm looking for a small and simple ToDo List program. Something that saves the tasks in a text file so it can be transportable like on a flash drive. I know there are many such applications for Windows, but I haven't found that much for Linux. The latest one (for Windows) that I looked at, and that many people are raving about is ToDoList from http://www.abstractspoon.com/, but it requires MFC42.DLL to run via WINE, and it's can't save under WINE for some reason. So that option doesn't work either.

Maybe this is another project I can tackle - writing a cross-platform ToDo List program (if I can't find any descent ones for Linux). What do you guys or girls use to keep up to date with what needs to be done. My post-it notes keep getting lost on my desk, so that is not an option anymore. My PDA is also to bulky to lug around between work and home - hence the reason I want the program running of a flash drive. The same way I run PINs of my flash drive.

Regards,
- Graeme -

My ToDo list is a simple text file that I can edit with any editor, 100% platform independent ;)

I have no idea if it'll work for you... but Wiki on a stick could work for you?

Or tiddly wiki?

I recently found it, and put my todo list there too (Amongst other things)...

Simplicity, something I like! I actually have that "program" currently installed on my flash drive. I think I'm using a old-ish version. I believe it's v0.2 or something ;-)

------------------------- todo.txt ---------------------------- Legends
[ ] -> not started
[-] -> in progress
[x] -> completed task

[-] Research a ToDo list alternative. :-)
[ ] Create a new fpGUI release
[x] Apply Jean-Marc's spinedit patch.
....snip....
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately my reporting feature stopped working for some reason, and I can't filter my task at the moment. Hence the reason I'm looking for a newer version, or an alternative Todo List program.

Interesting idea. I actual just found a similar program called Zim. It's a "desktop wiki". Again, as in my previous reply. I can't filter or sort my tasks using a wiki format.

Hi Graeme,

the idea with the simple Text file is one of the best in my opinion - maybe as special comments directly is the sourcecode. you can use a simple script to list this comments in a separate window like the object-inspector. The advantage is that you can copy and paste parts of your sourcecode and don't need to think about your tasks or notices. Have a look at "DOXYGEN" or similar-tools.

///TODO: Test this Example %When<Soon as possible.> Some more text...

But if you need more power or some nice gadgets a wiki will be work great for you too. I use a combination of a wiki with an issue-tracker and group-ware tool called "trac", but maybe it is a little bit oversized for you.

At least I remember at a bunch of tools like "KArm" or "Planner".

I hope that can help you.
(And sorry for my not-so-perfect english.)

Wow!! I took a look at TidlyFolio, a variant of Tiddly Wiki. It is unbelievable what they have done. All that functionality in a single HTML file. That is just crazy, but very impressive. I'm glad I don't have to manually maintain that code. :-)
