Version 0.4.151 of Google Tasks Import brings two usability improvements;

  • Retain original name of default tasklist (if possible)
    • When deleting all tasklists before import, or attempting to replace the contents of the default tasklist, GTI was renaming the default tasklist to "Undeletable default nnnnnnnnnn", where nnnnnnnnnn is a unique number.
    • Now, GTI tries to keep the original name of the default tasklist, unless the import created a new tasklist with the same name. In that case, the default tasklist will still be renamed "Undeletable default nnnnnnnnnn"
  • Attempt to prevent the very occasional HttpError 400 "Invalid value" error when creating a tasklist.
    • This appears to be due to incorrectly formatted data in the import file, which results in an apparently invalid tasklist name.
    • The most likely cause is missing or unpaired double-quotes, which means that the entire task is being interpreted as the tasklist name. This exceeds the maximum 256 character tasklist name length, thus causing a 400 "Invalid value" error.
    • Now GTI checks for tasklist name longer than 256 characters and reports that immediately to the user.
If you do encounter any errors, please report them at https://code.google.com/p/import-tasks/issues/list

Best regards,

Julie
