i probably won't ship with priorities because it's not very GTD to manage
your priorities in a system.  but i'd like to make it an easy to do
customisation.

This is often request and might become part of MGTD at some point. There is
a new plugin you might like to try created by Carsten. See other posts on
this group.

This is a great idea. I'll add it to my list.

There is a post here about becoming a developer. But to be honest it's not
as easy as it might be:

Thanks very much for the suggestions and feedback.

Re: done/close

[RoninTDK]

i second this problem. it doesn't clone when you click done/close, but
only when you edit the title.
Maybe because it identifies a tiddler by it's name and it tries to
close the tiddler with the old name.

Re: Can't import plugins into GTD...

[Ed Griebel]

One thing that's not clear about this, you need to put a check by the
tiddlers that you want to import.  I use import all the time and just click
the box in the heading to import all my tiddlers as kind of a one-way
(destructive) sync.

Can't be done at present, but there is a plugin you might like to try.
Search for Carsten on the google group.

It's an easy hack. In MgtdProcessInbox look for this:

fields.push("Active"); // make it active




Change to this:

fields.push("Someday/Maybe"); // make it s/m


Then save and reload.

it's a nice idea. You could edit the shortHand var in the same plugin. But
currently it only works for Actions. I would like to be able to use SM for
projects also.

Re: Waiting actions

[Stephanie Smith]

I'm using it.  It's fabulous.

I like the idea of including a drop down so that dependencies can be set
without editing the tiddler manually.  You'd want a multi-select list box,
if such a thing exists in MonkeyGTD, because some actions depend on more
than one prior action.

Re: done/close

[Simon Baird]

http://monkeypiratetiddlywiki.blogspot.com/2008/06/couple-of-bug-fixes.html

I believe it's fixed in the MPTW. There's no good reason I can think of why
this hasn't propagated to MGTD.

If you update SaveCloseTiddlerPlugin from here:
http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#SaveCloseTiddlerPlugin
it will fix it.

I'll make sure the next release includes this..

Re: Problem downloading MGTD from TiddlySpot

Bad news, any of those probably will give you a broken file. Rule of thumb
for any TiddlyWiki. File, Save as doesn't work. Always use the download link
in Tiddlyspot or right click, save target as... where applicable.

Re: Waiting actions

[Simon Baird]

Carsten,

I'm excited about this. Nice work. As for Jim's comments, I think this seems
lightweight enough so you can just ignore it if you don't want to use it.

When I get a chance I will have a play with this and hopefully include it in
MGTD. I have some ideas about the UI also, something similar to the contact
drop down but for other actions.

Thanks for the contribution. Now that some time has passed, is anyone out
there using this in production?

Best wishes,

Simon

Re: Changing many Realm tags

[Simon Baird]

If I was doing this I'd probably use a text editor. Open up you file and
search for the name of the realm you're changing. Replace it with the realm
you want. The thing to replace will be inside a tags="..." attribute. So
you'd have to only change the ones you wanted which you could tell by
looking at the html code around it. Probably best not to try unless you are
comfortable with a programmers text editor. Ie, don't do it in notepad. And
make backups prior etc.

But there's no easy way to do it within MGTD. You can use the mismatched
realms page at least to show you which ones are wrong. Or you could write
some javascript to do updates you want.

Maybe a "fix mismatched realms" button would be useful tool.

Re: mGTD, Problem with viewing Conatcs

Yep, I've confirmed this behaviour and I'm calling it a bug. Will fix in a
future release.

Thanks for the bug report.

Re: Actions not in projects not as visible as Actions in projects

I like your suggestion. It should be possible to list projectless actions
that have an area in the area dashboard. I will include in a future release.

Re: change suggest for Upper right corner drop down list

[Simon Baird]

It's there to give you quick access to a list of like things. Eg, you can
jump from one project to another. Also so you can see what type of thing
you're looking at. as for making it into a change type action, we do have
buttons for changing between project -> tickler -> action already. so
perhaps but not sure.

Actually, forget that, it's usually when there's no such macro then you
should save and reload. Don't know about your problem, but glad to hear you
got it working.

Re: Latest version ?

[Simon Baird]

That's an excellent question. Thanks for pointing it out. I will look into
this version number weirdness. The version number is a coded timestamp but
clearly there are some problems with the algorithm.

You can be assured that whatever is up online is the latest version despite
appearing otherwise.

Re: recurring series of events in mGTD

No. But perhaps these ideas might be useful:

And if you know in advance the dates you could add a tickler for each trip
perhaps.
