Re: Another call for 'Realm' improvements.

2009-06-05 Thread Damian

Manually checking every realm tag in a text editor and changing the
ones I want to change would be ok if I had a dozen or so tiddlers, but
I have hundreds of them. Maybe a couple of thousand. I don't see how I
can make that a usable soloution. It would obviously be fine if I
wanted to change all of the gags for one realm into a different realm,
but I want to disperse my main realm into a few different realms.

 Well... If you can drive a decent text editor... and are a little bit
 careful about it... you could sort it out that way..

 %s/SomeRealm/OtherRealm/g in vim for instance.

 (But actually don't do that way. You probably want to eyeball each
 replacement to make sure it's doing the right thing. The realm is a tag so
 look for it inside tags=   attribute I think from memory.

 And make backups first in case something goes wrong.

  Thanks for that Simon,

  The 'Realm Mismatch' is a useful tool, but I've got about 500
  projects, all with 3 to 10 tiddlers. To split them into the realms I
  want them in with the way things are currently set up would take at
  least a day out of my life. Probably more. Realm mismatch or no Realm
  Mismatch.

  I'll cross my fingers for a usable way of achieving what I'd like, but
  I'll not hold my breath :-)

  Cheers

Hello all,

I'm really wanting to use Realms more, but they are an uphill struggle
at the moment.

The first problem is having to manually set the realm of all ticklers
within a project. Surely they should all copy the realm of the Project
it's self (even if the project realm gets changed .. they should all
change to). It would be fine to go in and change individual ticklers
to a different realm if anyone wants that, but setting them all to the
same as the project is surely the most default required behaviour.

   Agree. That would have to be a bug.

My second problem (and from people's previous responses, I assume it's
very difficult to do) would be a nice way of changing the realm of an
entire project (and all it's ticklers). In an idea world, I'd love
something like the projects dashboard, but rather than changing
Projects from Active to S/M, you could select the realm for that
project.

   It's a good suggestion. It could be done. But there's no easy way at the
   moment. If you did change the project realm then you could at least use
  the
   Realm Mismatch page to help get everything back in shape.

   Simon.

Re: How to have an inbox ?

 Sorry, it's called MgtdSidebarExtra.

 You can try it out

  Hi Simon,

  I'm with the r9813 and I can't find MgtdMenuExtra. Are you sure it is
  with this version ? Perharps I made an error when I updated my
  monkeygtd ?

   I think we can go one better than a separate text file.. How about this:

   Find MgtdMenuExtra under More, TW, All (must be using the latest update,
   r9813). Click it and click edit.

   Type [[Inbox]] and click Done.

   This puts a link to Inbox in a handy location right above your tabs.

   Click on the Inbox link. Click edit.

   Now you can put any text you want in there. And you can use wiki
  formatting.
   Click done when you're finished editing of course.

   (Actually this seems handy, I might make it part of the next update. Any
   objections?)

   BUT (here be dragons...)

   Please remember the rules of GTD...
   * Never leave anything in your inbox
   * Never put anything back in your inbox
   * Process your inbox top to bottom until it's empty
   * Don't even LOOK at your inbox without processing it...

   Seriously, I can imagine you guys neatly organising the stuff in your
  lovely
   new Inbox tiddler. Don't do it!! Be vigiliant! Say NO! Be an inbox zero
   hero...!! :)

I use a kind of inbox. Don't know if it'll help you, but bay be
useful.

I have a simple text file where I put all of the bits I want to put
into mGTD. Then every so often, I edit this text file so that
everything is in a format ready for mGTD (I generally enter it in a
mGTD ready format), then I cut and paste the contents of the file into
'Quick add' within mGTD.

You could obviously not paste anything that wasn't ready to go in yet,
but at least they would be in a place where they wouldn't get lost.

 There isn't really any good support for keeping inbox items in
  MonkeyGTD.
I
 think the rationale for this is that if you are taking the time to
  bother
 put it into your system then why not process it?

 I can see some usefulness of being able to classify things as inbox
  items
 though.

  Hi,

  I'm searching how I can create an inbox with monkeygtd.

  First, I was thinking about actions without project were actions
  in
  my inbox. But I have actions without project. And I discovered the
  possibility to add an area for an action. I was thinking about
  creating an area Inbox and add my actions in this area. Then I
  can
  found faster my actions I need to review when I do a weekly review.

  And you, how do you use inbox in monkeygtd ?
