is the download package OK? It seems to contain 7.2.13., 26.05.2019

[Bob Clarke]

When I create new tasks in a tasklist I created today with 7.3.DP2, some of the tasks disappear from view as soon as they are entered.

The tasklist is called "Day to Day" and has been attached, along with my INI file, a screenshot of the raw XML showing the missing tasks in the TDL file, and a short video showing task entry when the task then disappears.

I have been through the Preferences and don't see anything set that would cause just some tasks to disappear. Since the tasks are all being created by the same user, I don't see how one of the Preferences could cause some tasks to show and others to disappear.

I can confirm that

a) it behaves like described and

b) it behaves right.

You have enable the filter "Title: Day to day" - and none of your new entries contains "day to day".

You mixed up the title "day of day" (on the tab) and the filter for title ..

[Bob Clarke]

Thanks, Pierre. Not sure why my brain gets twisted sometimes with the UI and options. Guess I need to spend more time with the program.

Dan,

I downloaded the package from the link http://abstractspoon.pbworks.com/f/todolist_exe.zip, but it still shows the 7.2.13.0 version:

the Update-feature in the "stable-version" (the common version for everyone) does not show the developer-preview or alpha or betas.

You have to load them manually and install them independent from your working version.

Hello,

In windows 10 after forcing the decimal symbol to '.', here are somme 'strange' behaviours I noticed :

- In the HTML comment panel, Cut / copy and paste buttons don't work : they seems to do anything.

- In teh HTML comment panel, the insert link bouton show the input window, but no links are inserted after clicking on insert.

- In HTML mode, drag 'n drop mails from Outllok to the comment field in order to make a shortcut doesn't work (both in 'standard' and Shift mode drag 'n drop ) : no links are created, only the fields To / Object / Send at / Categories are 'recovered'

- In HTML mode, drag 'n drop files in the comment field does not create au sortcut (neither the choice windows where specifying which type of shortcut we want). The Drag 'n drop launch the file (Word in case of a .docx by example).

- Switching between Simple/rich text mode and HTML mode break the interactive links previouly created in sample/rich text mode. I have to add a carriage return at the end of the line to rebuild the interractive link.

- in HTML mode, I can't redim cells / rows/ columns of the boards with the mouse : only moving or resizing the entire board

- In Kanban view, ticking the 'always show the backlog' parameter does not work in fixed columns mode : Backlog is not show. In standard 'attribute to follow' like 'state', Backlog column is always showed (it seems to be also a behaviour in 7.2).

- Workload : we can specify the 'allocate to' value multiple times to the same person (by example allocate to XXX a line with 5, a second line with 20 ...). Only the last value is stored and replace those which are specified in the other lines.

- Workload : Double-cliking on a parent tasks expand or 'reduce' the branch (like clicking on '+' or '-') but does not open the input window to enter the values.

Hope this help.

Regards

[Vitaly Baranovsky]

Now the link is correct, thank you! Also, the application is downloadable now and it shows 7.3.DP2 in the about box.

That's great Koruneko, I should be able to get most of those fixed for DP4.

Regarding drag'n'drop: So far I have been unable to find a reliable way to override the default browser behaviour of opening dropped files. This is a known 'difficult problem'. I'll keep trying.

Strange, I cannot reproduce any of these.

If these are still an issue in DP3, could you record a single bug report using 'Introduction.tdl ' please?

You need to click on the 'Allocated to' columns. Double-clicking on the tree only expands/collapses nodes. I've tried to keep this behaviour across all of the 'tree' views.

I'll also make it so that whichever name you double-clicked on, that is the allocation value that will be selected and ready to edit when the dialog pops up.

Do you mean 'multiple times on the same task'?

Unfortunately I think this is a shortcoming of Internet Explorer itself.

Hello,

Yes, thats it. I've tried again in 7.3DP3 and the behaviour is different : it's no more possible to select another people in the 'allocated to' (the drop down menu is empty).

Not sure that it's the expected bug fix (i've tried to download the DP2 again to reproduce the capability of selecting multiple times the same occurence but TDL indicate that it's still in DP3 version ...) : should we able to select new 'allocated to' occurences in the drop down field ?

See the logfile attached for the DP3 behaviour,

Regards

[Koruneko]

Hello,

Trying to double-click on the allocated to of an intermediate task just collapse or expand the tree : I can't specify a value.

Maybe that's the correct behaviour ?

Logfile joined.

[Koruneko]

Hello,

I've tried in 7.2DP3 and now there's an error message pop-up

"Object reference is not defined to an object instance"

I've tried both in Win 7 and 10.

Log joined.

[.dan.g.]

>> Trying to double-click on the allocated to of an intermediate task just collapse or expand the tree

Currently I've designed it so that allocations cannot be assigned to parent tasks, hence double-clicking just expands/collapses.

My reasoning is that allocations added to the parent task and the child tasks would be confusing and possibly lead to the same time being counted more than once.

[.dan.g.]

>> Not sure that it's the expected bug fix

Yes, it seems reasonable to me to have each person appear only once

>> should we able to select new 'allocated to' occurences

Do you mean adding new people that don't currently exist in the 'Allocated To' list?

[.dan.g.]

Can you also attach the referenced tasklist please?

[Koruneko]

Hello,

I've tested it with the sample tasklist given by default when installing TDL.

I've made another bug record to illustrate both insert link problem and cut/copy/paste problem. Curiously, there's no screenshot in it for the cut/copy/paste part.

When I was making the record, I noticed that in fact the insert link button is doing the job, despite the error message, but don't insert a 'new line' (the title of the link) in the comment : the hypertext format is applied to a part of the previous text in the comment box.

I join the ini, bug report and log.

Regards

[Koruneko]

OK for that. No problem if it's the expected behaviour.

Regards

[Koruneko]

Yes, it seems reasonable to me to have each person appear only once

Ok with that. In 7.3DP2, I could assign for one task several time to one person which suprised me. Bug fixed so.

Do you mean adding new people that don't currently exist in the 'Allocated To' list?

There's a dropdown list control that appear at the end of the 'assigned to' list in the workload view (labeled '<new allocation>') ; but this list is empty (see screenshots). two behaviour can be considered in my opinion :

- by clicking the '<new allocation>' line, the dropdown list control should show all the persons that are not already checked for a specified task (ideally by using the same dropdown list of checkboxes control of the traditionnal 'allocate to' control).

- If using the traditionnal control to allocate a task to someone is the only way to do so, then the drop down list should be removed.

My preference is going to the first option which is more flexible.

Regards

[.dan.g.]

Thanks for your efforts but still no luck!

Can you reproduce it with this simple demo? It excludes TDL-specific code so will help me narrow down where I need to look...
