Prologue
Instead of doing my Jobs I like to polish my tools like to-do-lists; I'm a bad boy?
So I came to TaskCoach. Very interesting tool to keep track on what is to do and for sorting it.
Thanks!thanks for giving this.
I did use DGT-GTD on Android since month. Works very fine.
It´s limits to me are : I have not found visible task IDs, human readable numbers.
I have my projects and tasks not in a informative looking visible tree and
i have not found a way to print.
So I’m looking around at open project managers. What I did found for free seems not usable to me and it wast my time, except Borg from Micheal Berger. This one works very well and has automatic task numbers; fine, but except on android. Not so great.
I have nearly 1.000 items i want to have them imported into TaskCoach 1.3.41 [TC].
This Items are in a JSON - File coming from DGT-GTD. Each Item has about 30 fields.
I need 2 fields of them and cleared the waste manual, very stupid I know.
It remains the content for 2 fields going to be „Begriff/Title“ and „Beschreibung/Description“. Into the second I'm going to store the task-numbers i have. I did not found a special field for task numbers in TC.
Is there one?
** I want to import my old content via CSV to TC.**
So I make a CSV master file from TC and study it per Notepad++.
Then i make my content-file exactly look like that, only i think so.
The machine don't do it. I did not earn success to import my stuff. brrr.
So i make a very short file about ten lines to test importing it.
Here is what i got at last:
============= Thu Jul 10 09:03:18 2014
**Traceback (most recent call last):
File "taskcoachlib\gui\uicommand\base_uicommand.pyo", line 129, in onCommandActivate

File "taskcoachlib\gui\iocontroller.pyo", line 340, in importCSV
File "taskcoachlib\persistence\csv\reader.pyo", line 74, in read
IndexError: list index out of range **
=============
It run through but no positively effects, no enrollments.
So I have to ask for help:
Maybe you can give me a small or big hint
to get my content items into TC.
Thanks for that.
Need more information? What can I give?
If there is a better place to ask, please move this or let me know.
(Hope my English is understandable to you. Is it?
Or:
By the way: If I can ask in German, that will match more easier for me. And you are free from reading my lumpy English.)
So now have a excellent time,
cordially

Hello Jerzy,
thanks a lot for your answer.
Your interest works like the book of magic:
I did it with 2 lines, with no spaces in the first place.
It works.
Now I have 1000 Items there inside TC and the are visible. Nearly.
This grey color; How can I change that into dark black ?
The moderate-sized characters; How can I change that into greater?
Can I adjust one xxx.py file with Notepad++; if yes---how?
Thanks.
Have a nice weekend
cordially

You can adjust colors and font in event or category properties (tab "Appearance").
Men, so easy .. and you made my day. :-)))
You can edit .py file with any editor. The changes will take effect on next launch of the program.
Thats what I know..
but who and how, which file and what, where to write...
But for this time it isn't necessary. See above.

Hello,
It would be helpful if you posted the contents of CSV file you prepared for import.
Try to prepare short CSV file with 2 lines, try to import it, and post both the CSV file and error messages again.
From my experience the most common problems with CSV import are caused by using wrong field delimiters or quotes - check it first.
PS. I think you have better chance to get help writing in English, don't worry about the mistakes.
