Feature request: day-only dates?

[Bill Powell]

Hi Scott,

Another item from _GTD_: Would it be possible to have day-only dates? _GTD_ distinguishes between day-specific items and time-specific items, and I often find this distinction helpful. I don't know the internals of tkdo.py; perhaps it could silently (_not_ in the .otl file or the output) add a time of midnight?

Currently I just use midnight as the time for such items, but this is distracting. I have to look carefully to see whether the time matters or not.

Also, I have a script that translates my tkdo .otl files into a remind file, so I can use remind to view a weekly and monthly calendar. If tkdo.py could represent day-only dates without a time, I wouldn't see midnight here either. :)

Thanks,
Bill Powell

Yes, this would be useful.

It already handles no-specific-time dates while exporting iCalendar files. Anything set to @00:00 or @23:59 is considered an all-day or no-time task. But it doesn't yet do that outside the iCal export. So, I'll have to add it to the rest of the code.

The plan is to make D=YYYY-MM-DD behave otherwise the same as if it said D=YYYY-MM-DD@23:59, except hide the @23:59 part. And, I'll think about how best to make this clear in the GUI...

Thanks, Scott! I'll look forward to it.
