[Gtodo-list] Segfault in export.c

Hi Qball,


there's a crash I reproduce every time here, it's when exporting to HTML, if
Embed Default CSS is checked (1st checkbox) and if Export Current Cat only =
is
checked too (last checkbox). Here's a quick patch against current SVN that
does check for pointer sanity, maybe not exactly what you'd like but it does

Re: [Gtodo-list] Two more patches for Gtodo 0.16 RC2

[Qball C. <qb...@qb...>]

I/We should make a list what should be done on the RC so we can make a 
(final) release. SVN does fix some serious bugs compared to the latest 
stable release. (or snapshot used in some distro's).

The one thing I can remember is permission checking on remote files...
I have to admit I haven't used gtodo in a while...

[Gtodo-list] Two more patches for Gtodo 0.16 RC2

[wwp <sub...@fr...>]

Hi Qball,


Long time ago!

I'm maybe moving to XFCE, and didn't find any xfce applet to run gtodo.. so I
wondered why not adding an eggtrayicon to gtodo! I've completely forgotten
that there's already an eggtrayicon :-), and even that I was using it, then
switched to the gtodo-applet few months/years ago because it was more
convenient.

Back to the trayicon (to use gtodo in GNOME or XFCE), here are 2 patches.
One that fixes the --help text to add missing switches (-h, -n) and fix few
typos.

The other one add a new option to "close to tray" (if the tray icon is
enabled, using the WM to close gtodo will hide it, you can still close gtodo
from the main window menu or the trayicon menu), and enhance the visibility
handling of the trayicon: it is now able to directly raise the window when
it's iconified (minimized, shaded or on another desktop). All those trayicon
features make it more convenient (and standard), I don't need the applet
anymore: tray icon enabled, close to tray enabled, I start gtodo -h with my
session, et voila.

Tested OK withing GNOME 2.14.x, KDE 3.5.x, Window Maker, XFCE4.

BTW, all patches I created for gtodo 0.16-rc2 are available here:
http://www.mollux.org/projects/contrib/gtodo/0.16.0-rc2/

Yes, sounds a good idea for that purposes!

I've forwarded our previous exchange to the author of ackerTodo (Rob, you're

In the gtodo2 xml format I also plan to implement a "deleted" flag, this 
should help allot with synchronization with f.e. evolution. (otherwise 
deleted items gets re-added on sync every time.)
If the author of ackerTodo wants/needs stuff to be added/changed for 
gtodo2 let me know, nothing isn't really "decided" yet for it.

I've taken a look at the xml export file, Its very similar to the xml 
file used in xml2, so conversion should be relatively easy. (also to the 
old gtodo format).
There is just one problem, The tasks doesn't have a unique id in the 
exported xml file, making synchronization very tricky and very error prone.

For gtodo2 I intent to make the backend modulair, so you can also use 
gtodo to open the task list of f.e. evolution data server, writing a 
backend that can work with the data stored in mysql by ackerTodo is then 
possible.

I hope this answers the question?

[Gtodo-list] Exchange between todo managers

[wwp <sub...@fr...>]

Hello QBall,


I wonder how I could work w/ gtodo when I'm in disconnected mode, and w/
ackerTodo when I'm online. Would there be some ways for both software to
exchange data (I know that ackerTodo is able to export .xml, but this .xml =
is
a bit different from gtodo's one)? I really like the idea of an online todo
base (to share w/ other people w/ a project management purpose) and
ackterTodo is really neat, but I really *want* to keep up working w/ gtodo
locally.

Any thought?

[Gtodo-list] Edit item, cursor/selection issue

[wwp <sub...@fr...>]

Hello,


I've noticed few issues when editing the comment of a todo item:

- when opening the "edit item" dialog, it discards the current text selection
(for instance, selection existing in another app), thus preventing from using
the X11's middle-button paste.

- when clicking the comment edit-widget, the cursor is not drawn until you
type some text.

These issues are not major, but a bit irritating if you work a lot w/ gtodo
and need to edit comments :-).

The attached patch solves both issues (here, GTK+ 2.8.x).

Yes, that is a bug, should be an easy fix. 
Health and other things kinda prevented me from making release of gtodo

I did spend some time today (and yesterday) working on gtodo2 here is a

[Gtodo-list] Minor bug in tooltip

[wwp <sub...@fr...>]

Hey Qball,


using gtodo 0.16-rc2, I noticed that the tooltip, that shows upon a item in=
 a
category list, might be empty (tooltip is a small empty square), if the
comment that belongs to the item contains some specific characters (at least
'<'). Maybe it's just a lack of encoding some special chars used for text

There probably is, but I never looked into it. I've also tried several
times to reproduce the crash, but wasn't successfully yet. (It's
probably something very simple/obvious what is making it crash, I keep
missing it when reading the code)

I also wrote the following applet a while back. (the one from the screen
shot)
After some searching in old backup's I found the source again, I've
copied the fixed libgtodo in it and here it is:
http://download.qballcow.nl/programs/gtodo/gtodo-applet-0.16-2.tar.gz

I wonder what one is preferred? 
This one takes more space, but shows directly how many tasks are due,
and can show a small list.

Please let me know what one I should continue to work on?

p.s. sorry for the bad and messy English.

I can confirm that w/ gtodo-applet 0.16.0, I still face crashes occasionally,
even if less frequently, when adding items or editing items' subject in
category (no need to remove anyone).

BTW, is there a way to debug a gnome applet (from gdb for instance)? I'd

Re: [Gtodo-list] Re: Gtodo 0.16 Release Candidate 1

[Qball C. <qb...@qb...>]

I've updated, and fixed a few small bugs, in the applet. It isn't the
applet from the screenshot, but the simple one from the last release.
http://download.qballcow.nl/programs/gtodo/gtodo-applet-0.16.0.tar.gz

If anybody wants to fix up the applet from my screenshot, feel free to
send me an e-mail, so I can send the source.

Qball.

(p.s. gtodo has a notification tray that does almost the same.)

I am not a big fan of the applet myself, but if people actually use it,
it needs fixing. As far as I know the applet has several bugs.
This is the latest version I have on my hard disk:
http://images.qballcow.nl/gtodo-applet6.png. Maybe somebody can come up
with a short list of what the applet should and shouldn't do. (I know
there been discussions about this before).

Gtodo doesn't have a system to keep track of and messaging running
gtodo's. But those 20 gtodo's should stay "in sync", because it tracks
changes on the file, and in the preferences.
I am open for a decent solution to this problem.

Hmm while we're here. W/ 0.14 I faced reproducible crashes of the
gtodo-applet when I was adding some items to a category. Don't remember
exactly how but it was frequent, and IIRC I couldn't get it w/ 0.16.0-rc2.
Was it a known and fixed issue w/ gtodo?

About this gtodo-applet. If I'm not wrong, when you dble-click on it, it
opens gtodo. Now, if you dble-click on it 20 times, you'll get 20 gtodos :-).
Wouldn't it more "common" to show/hide upon a single click on it?

Nice to hear :-).

I will take a look at it tomorrow. I might include it...

Yes, now you mention it, I remember this needed fixing.. This should be
fixed before a release. Patches are welcome.
thanks.

I've also fixed the following 2 things today:
1. Show or Hide window now only works when tray icon is enabled. (to
stop the window from playing hide-and-seek).
2. Use the new (gtk+-2.4) file chooser.

Please feel free to mention more "oddities" or other things that should
be fixed.


Qball


p.s. I plan to maintain this branch until a (second?) (stable) release
is done of the gtodo rewrite. I don't intend to add allot of features.
But feel free to request them for the rewrite.  If you want to check out
how the rewrite of gtodo is progressing so far, let me know.

In case anyone is interested, or if you, QBall, ever plan to consider it,
here is a patch that allows hiding/showing comments in items list. When
comments are hidden, bold is no longer used (as in 0.14 and since it's no
longer needed to show bold subject). Not that I insist about this feature,
but since I did it for me, I just want to propose this patch. Feel free to
ignore it :-).

QBall: I noticed several issues in gtodo.schemas.in (mostly: long text of some
options don't match at all the option itself, probably wrong copy/paste).
Should I give you a list of the bad parts, write a patch or .. do nothing?
