Re: automagic contexts?
If I understand your question right you seem to have missed out on a
great feature for the inbox:
First, to disable the automatic opening of newly created Projs/Acts
you simply tick on/off the checkbox in the process inbox.
Regarding tagging etc, if you write this:
Proj1|S
.Act1|Somecontext|F|S|newtag|sometext
then you get a starred project (from the S)
and an action with that predefined context and tagged future and
starred and also some new tag that you just made up. It will also
contain the note sometext because it was written as the last element
and without a final | sign.
Actions are by default set as Next unless tagged like this with F or
W.
While at it, if you write the (exact) name of another Action, say an
action named First action, in between such | signs then this will
automatically set the currently created action as a Next and it will
automatically
:-)

Hey all,
was digging around the code trying to turn off the automatic checking

when I came across a small section of code in the MgtdProcessInbox
tiddler...
It seems that it should automatically assign a context if it finds
certain words in the tiddler title. So if the quick add entry is
.call John, then the context @Calls should automatically be
assigned. I have modified the section of the code to this:
var automagicContexts = {
'@Calls':'call',
'@Errands':'buy',
'@Email':'email'
};
but it doesn't seem to work.
Anyone know anything about this or how to get it to work?

Re: the MachineGun addon to mGSD
Glad you like the idea. Could you put up an example on tiddlyspot to show your encountered issues? I don't think a future action could be shown as itt is hard coded to only show Next actions in the MachineGun tiddler under Setup. Or maybe you edited various actions parallel to running the MachineGun? The MachineGun sets an array with the relevant/filtered tiddlers upon initiation so you'd have to reload it to reset this array). Error for no actionable items - I'm guessing you didn't set the filters, ie. are you sure your desired items match the filters you must first set in the top of the MachineGun tiddler? For instance, the default filter has Starred for the projects. Skipping an action - not sure what you mean. Regardless if you check off the action as Done or not (via the little checkbox next to the action title), when you press Fire it is removed from the currently loaded/filtered array of actions that is fired. I'd appreciate it if you answered my comments here so I know if I should do some more serious bug searching. Hope this helps :-) Note: I wanted to keep the addon minimal but in my own setup I use tiddlytools editsectionplugin (I think it's called) to reach and edit the filter section more easily without having to manually open the MachineGun tiddler.

Re: advice on keeping mGTD running well
Is the idea to weed out inactive stuff? Otherwise, I must say it that starting over is a lot of unnecessary and double work. Anyway, FWIW: I know there is an ArchiveTiddlersPlugin (or similarly named). I guess this in combination with a listing sorted by last modified (or is there such a thing as last viewed?) could be a decent starting point. I.e archiving anything not viewed for x months. Or maybe the IncludePlugin, i.e strating fresh but including the old TW so it is availible but still not quite part of the new one.

Re: Using dependencies in Quick-Add
Per se, the depending actions implementation is wonderful - but in practice, the procedure forces you to do a lot of manual figdeting after creating a project, in effect weakening the power of quick-add. So hoping for some development on this, here's yet another alternative twist; However, first, just to clarify my preceding post; the numbers seen (i.e 4| ) are not actually written by the user. Rather the suggestion is to have them permanently in the outside of the quick-add frame, merely as references to specific rows in quick-add. Here's a different approach: http://kronenpj.tiddlyspot.com/ i.e small up/down arrows letting the user push the action a step up or down. Very intuitive. Could perhaps even be embedded *directly* into the quick-add!? Possibly a working for that arrow type solution or some other could be fields. I just discovered these myself (under ToolsMenuMorefields). Apparently it's a place to store tiddler specific meta information. If an action (or any tiddler) is supposed to have some type of relation to something else, such as depencdence in our example, maybe a value could be stored here. For an action sequence listing, one could then use a fET; forEachTiddler sortBy 'tiddler.fields.changecount' descending write '* [[+tiddler.title+]] (+tiddler.fields.changecount+)\n' E.g GridPlugin (Shulman) lets you directly create and set specific fields and values http://www.tiddlytools.com/#GridPlugin ...and I just found this thread, stating that there is a *core* filtering for fields which I guess means *speed*! http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/browse_thread/thread/313055747ca1a706# Just brainstorming out loud ;-) On 27 Okt, 17:57, Mat matiasg...@gmail.com wrote: On 23 Okt, 13:22, Simon Baird simon.ba...@gmail.com wrote: An alternative approach: All actions listed in Quick add could by default get a Next tag, unless manually tagged with WaitingFor, but then as an action is tagged with 'PrecedingAction', this Next tag is eliminated.

(I'm choosing D for 'Dependent') Make sandwich .get bread|N .spread butter|D .spread jam|D .cut in half|D For dependence on multiple preceding actions, how about this; Along the left gray edge of the 'quick add' box there are lables for referencing a certian row in the 'quick-add field'.

Re: Time in MonkeyGTD
You could probably do something with CheckboxPlugin (tiddlytools.com) by which you can 'insert' a tag into either a remote, but pre- specified, tiddler, or you could insert the checkbox into the viewtemplate of the tiddler in question and thus enable activating an action tag without going into edit.

Re: Time in MonkeyGTD
I guess you should do what works for you, but I believe the folder you mention with days for a month is more of a complimentary thing to the GTD system and is used for *physical* date specific stuff, e.g physical theatre tickets, bills and similar. I think the main idea to categorize things in GTD is by context rather than e.g project or date. Projects are more for review and ticklers and calendars are for time specific stuff. But kay - if you insist on a day specific solution, I guess you could use a fET command (forEachTiddler - do a search for this plugin) and make it list things tagged with certain weekdays and 'action' and not 'done' etc etc. You could have a single widdler containing one such fET for each week day and each embedded in sliders (NestedSlidersPlugin tiddlytool.com) A problem you will probably hit upon is that actions are typically not specified enough in mGDT - i.e it is not possible to tell if an action is part of an active or inactive project. This is something I've struggled with myself (for another issue) and I decided to just now post a simplified question on this on the TW board; http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/browse_thread/thread/81e8c4a288c2a06c On 24 Sep, 17:02, der-monarch michael.1.muel...@t-online.de wrote: Thanks.

Re: Comparison of GTD TiddlyWikis?
I would definitely say that mGTD is the most actively developed one. The original GTD-TW is not actively maintained anymore, as far as I know. And I am not aware of any recent postings in here by d3 driver, Mr. Otvos. And this board is, as far as I know, the main - or even the only - place where GTD variants are discussed for TW. I keep hearing positive things about d3 though. That said, the wonderful mGTD is still largely a one man project by Simon Baird, although he has indicated he would like more people to be actively involved in development. (A major notable addition of late is the SequencedActionsPlugin[1] by Carsten Thiele, but it is not fully incorporated. Another is the Notes icon addition by Max/ByteDoc which is included in the latest mGTD.) If you allow me to get a bit philosophical; I think there are two major reasons why any TW based GTD tool has difficulty in growing as dynamically as, say, TW in general: First, and most obvious, is the fact that there are relative few individuals using both TW and wanting to do GTD via it. TW in itself has a definite user threshold, so even someone hearing of some TW-GTD variant is up for an initial challenge. Second, the GTD methodology is very dogmatic (note: that is not necessarily a negative term). This means that it does not quite allow for manifestations thereof (such as mGTD) to flow out and experiment very much - unlike e.g TW in general that of course lets you 'do anything'. This, and the fact that a prime creator naturally has certain aesthetic tastes probably makes it a bit problematic for *multiple* people to collaborate on developing a coherent GTD system in TW. (Parts of this issue is highlighted in another recent thread [2] ) jayseye, you experience issues when saving in mGTD. If you're more specific I'm sure you'd get help here or on the TW board. In genereal, TW is not for IE and as such I'm sure there are many many Mac users using TW and some using mGTD. BTW, if you're willing to go outside GTD, then some of the Osmosoft guys developed TeamTasks.

Re: Using dependencies in Quick-Add
Quick add doesn't support adding dependencies. I guess the first thing to do would be to think of a suitable syntax for specifying dependencies. As a non-programmer, I quite possibly misunderstand your question here, but FWIW; [for the following, not that 'PrecedingAction' is a generic name for the name of the action intended to precede ] In the Quick add interface, maybe the items are added with enough syntax already(!) I.e as long as an action (i.e an item starting with a .) is preceded by another action... the latter one is tagged with 'PrecedingAction' and a Future tag. 'Programmatically'; I'm assuming that an action *currently* is tagged with its Project name in the quick add processing via some loop that appends [[Project]] to every line starting with a . To add 'PrecedingAction' as a tag, maybe one can temporarily save all the actions (or pointers) in an array as they are processed in Quick add. Then, all actions that from Quick add that were manually tagged as Future, now get tagged with 'PrecedingAction' as found via the array. I think it is worth noting that if things are made to 'chain' on eachother like this, then there is practically only one Next action, i.e the very first one... which actually makes a lot of sense. You can only do *one* thing next practically. Calling several actions next really is a contradiction in terms. An alternative approach: All actions listed in Quick add could by default get a Next tag, unless manually tagged with WaitingFor, but then as an action is tagged with 'PrecedingAction', this Next tag is eliminated. This would *keep* the 'Next-status' of actions that don't get a following action. Tagging with 'PrecedingAction' would also omit the need for a Future tag alltogether. Whatever is not tagged Next or W/F is, per definition, Future! Omitting a required Future tag is particularly nice as there already currently is no need to type Next/N in QuickAdd, leaving only W as an additional tag perhaps with the option of a forced Next if so manually entered in QuickAdd. I can only speak for myself, but if the problem for implementation is the general algorithm then I'd be more than happy to come with ideas as per above - perhaps ideally via this board.

Re: URIError: malformed URI sequence
SOLVED - and for the record: The error was not due to mgtd, but because I had links *via* either the slider or the tiddler command leading to tiddlers that contained something with a link on the form [[somelink%]] ...i.e somelink that contained the % sign, which is problematic for titles. (Notice that they were'nt actually tiddlers!!! They had been once, but remaining now were only references inside another tiddlers content!) Well, well... whaddyaknow...

Tickler snooze
Yes, a tickler is supposed to be dealt with and, yes, that flashing 'tickler title' is supposed to be somewhat annoying. However, there are times when you WILL take care of the tickler - but in an hour or two, after you finish off a few other things first... and you'd really just like to hit 'snooze' for that flashing. Prematurely checking it off as 'done' means risking forgetting it, and using the remind me again in X days/weeks/... is obviously not the appropriate feature herea. And having to pull out the physical post-it pad is obviously a step back in evolution... Otherwise I find the Tickler feature extremely valuable.

Re: Sequencing: New action from within action (att: Carsten)
That is definitely what I was looking for... and I definitely missed
it ;-)
- so my sincerest thank you!
However, something is not working correctly after 'installing' the
code. For me, klicking the added dependent action in the menu
results in a tiddler with the following tags;
Action Future Work dateChooserPlugin
i.e no inherited Project name and no tag with the name of the source
action.
Did I misunderstand something?
Thanks!

Put it in MonkeyGTDTheme -- !ViewTemplateToolbar right before the
last /div. Now you have a 'dependent action' button in the toolbar
next to new journal and new here. The new dependent action is
automatically marked as Future as well.
There are a bunch of little tweaks here and there... it would be nice
if these could be eventually rolled into mGTD as standard.

Re: Waiting actions
This is getting GREAT
I did a little testing and found the following; If an action B is set
as dependant on A, but B is marked as Waiting for. Then, finishing
A, auto-sets B to *both* Next and Waiting for. I think only Future
actions should be auto-set to Next. (Less serious is that also Done
actions seem to get an extra Next).

Possible?
Great idea! Here you go, put this in MgtdTagControls --
MultiSelectTag. Find the following:
// if selectedItem is null this works to remove any
actOnTiddler.setTagFromGroup(tag,selectedItem);
Then add below:
// automatically make dependent actions future
if (tag == Action) {
if (selectedItem == null)
actOnTiddler.setTagFromGroup(ActionStatus, Next);
else
actOnTiddler.setTagFromGroup(ActionStatus, Future);
}
Note that if an action is dependent and you remove that dependency, it
will become a Next action.
Works for me -- let me know what you think!

Sequencing: New action from within action (att: Carsten)
A logical continuation to the SequencedActionsPlugin would be to simply be able to create a new action tiddler from witin an existing action I.e perhaps a little plus sign (similar to the ones already existing everywhere) inside the action tiddlers that, when clicked, creates a new tiddler with the same tags AND the name of the original tiddler as an additional tag ... i.e effectively creating the Depends on:... for the SequencedActionsPlugin. As far as I understand, all necessary components to do this are already in place (e.g in mgtdList there is newButtonTags and there is the New here and the newSavedTiddler) If I were only a better programmer... or, come to think of it, even a bad programmer... /Mat --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GTD TiddlyWiki group.

Re: Waiting actions

Sugg's for effectively creating new Actions etc
Creating new actions, and other core GTD 'items', is a routine at the very heart of using mGTD for 100% of mGTD (and d3) users. For this reason, it makes sense to really optimize this from an ease-of-use point. Here are some suggestions for mGTD: 1) A typical scenario is wanting to add a couple of actions for an already existing project. The powerful quick add does (actually) let you do this by repeating the already existing project name there and then adding actions... but that that took quite some time before I figured out, and it also does not let the created actions inherit the attributes of the already existing project. I suggest, for the various Next- Future- etc action listings in the Project tiddlers, that the + sign actually opens a full quick add type box (perhaps floating on top) where you more intuitively and directly can add *several* actions simultaneously to the project, as opposed to the current one at a time way that is very tedious. 2) Additionally; the various one-shot adders (+action etc) do not allow any attribute specification like the quick add does. 3) Sometimes there is a need to add a comment (i.e tiddler content) to a project or action right away. It would be nice if this as possible already in the quick add feature. (maybe some identifier sign can signal that what comes afterwards is for content). 4) The powerful quick add is lacking something that makes it easy to add the required attributes to the items created. I.e one has to recall that oh, yes, I have to define the Area for the project and ah, mustn't forget Context for the actions etc. I suggest the quick add fill-in-box is cut in half width-wise, and that some sliders or similar are added there, one named Project (containing Realms and Areas) and one named Action (with the N(ext), F (uture) etc and the Contexts). mGTD is such a wonderful tool and Ive used it daily (give or take a fall-off or two) for over a year now. I believe speed- and easifying it are matters that are of great importance for usability, and particularly for attracting even more new users.

Re: Sugg's for effectively creating new Actions etc
That is very good news! And, actually, the double pipe feature I had *forgotten* about (doh!) - thanx for reminding me. If (if!) the SequencedActionsPlugin becomes part of mGTD, maybe it is possible to even incorporate this into it, e.g so that something defined as an action (currenly via the .) somehow gets available as a tag for the other items that are defined... I have some spontaneous thoughts on it in case of interest. (note: also, I privately sent you some thoughts/pics a long while back with some suggestions for a more 'advanced' quick add. I'm just mentioning in case you forgot, and also in case the pics etc have been lost or something.)

mGTD Bugs
1) Not sure why it is caused, but it produces the same result every time, so I will try to describe as much as possible: Result; An action tiddler gets two area tags on this format; realm1,realm2 - i.e they are separated by a comma instead of a space (which obviously does not function properly as two separate tags) Setup: Realm1 is the default realm Work Realm2 is a user defined realm I call AO (order:4 priority:4) I have ProjectA with Realm AO (and in an area that is also AO) ProjectB is a subproject to ProjectA, also with Realm AO and in the same area. From the action listings in ProjectB, I click the + to create a new Next Action ... and I get an action tiddler without any visible realm, and upon edit I notice it saying AO,work in the tags list 2) Possibly not an mGTD bug, but a bug probably crucial to several mGTD users due to speed problems; In splitting out several tiddlers to a separate TW on TiddlySpot (e.g various reference tiddlers, notes etc that don't quite havet to do with GTD) ...but there are problems using ELS LoadTiddlersPlugin and I suspect the problem is the proxy for tiddlyspot. I use LoadTiddlersPlugin successfully on local TWs, but following the tiddlyspot FAQ instructions for proxy use does not work. How do you deal with connecting several TWs (mGTD and other) on tiddlyspot?
