#6 tasks with same name and performance

[Anonymous]

hi all,

i have a problem with tasks which have the same name:
jobs i have to do again and again like 'answering mails'.
todo-manager changes the existing (old) job instead of
adding a new job.
sometimes when adding an item like that the program
doesn't react to the add-button at all. when clicking the
button a second/third time the program crashes ... :-(
(CVS 20030311)

thanks
stefan

my second problem is perfomance (todo.tmf ~51 kb):
todo-manager is a little too slow ...

This can be easily explained by the way that ToDo Manager
indexes tasks. Every task is referenced by its name, so if
you type in a "new" task with the same name as an existing
task, it is designed to update the existing task.

A future release will add a recurring task feature, which
may fit your needs. It will allow you to setup a task to
occur on a regular basis (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly)

I was unable to recreate the crashing problem that you
experienced.

And finally, because of some poor design decisions that I
made, ToDo Manager will run slowly with large task lists.
Mostly, becuase of the way the inteface updates. I am
working on some changes that should speed it up a bit.
