Hello Daniel,

I use ToDoList at work and also at home.

At home I have one ToDo file with my private tasks.
At work I have 3 ToDo files (tasks of our complete team, my tasks at work, tasks of a software-project).

At work I also open my private ToDo file from a USB stick.
I selected this media, because it is portable.

The only problem is my boss.
It would be horrible if he sees that I have a private file opened.
Also [Ctrl]+[Tab] to switch the tasklist is not a solution as he still can see the tab in ToDoList.

Of cause I can close my private ToDo file and just open it when I need it.
But this is a bit slow (loading the file from the stick).

In Mozilla Firefox I have an extension called "Hide Tab".
Here I can right click on a browser tab and select "Hide Tab" from the context menu.
If I have hidden a tab then I just need to right click on an existing tab and select "Restore all tabs".

If I had such a feature in ToDoList, I could have my private ToDo file opened and just hide the tab.
If my boss comes in he can not see my private file.
If I want to modify it, I just unhide it.

This would be a cool feature.
Please implement it.
Thank you!

Greetings

OLLI

Hello Olli and Dan,

What's about saving, working with kind of workspace or grouped tabs, collapsing if not used and not being affected by a simple control-tab?
So, grouped tabs are saved as workspaces, collapse automatically on leaving, protectable with a password for re-entering.

Wouldn't that fit your, Olli's, demands?

I would use this feature to group version dependent lists and to seperate those versions and administrative lists in the UI.

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Olli

Have you considered enabling 'Multiple Instances', having your private tasklist use a separate instance and separate ini file and configure that instance to hide to the notification tray when minimised?

Hello Daniel,

I think this will do the trick.
Especially when I can press [Escape] to minimize ToDoList to the system tray.
Thank you, you are really genious!

OLLI
