[Feature Request for Plugin Tasklist] Add tag input field within task list dialog

[Murat Güven]

I use tagging quite a lot within my pages and use Zim also for taskmanagement.
One of my favorite plugin is the tasklist plugin.

As I have many tags, it is somewhat less effective for me to scroll through the tags list on the left pane and click to filter the task list.

I think, an entry box on top with autocompletion for tags could be a quicker solution to filter the list.

I adapted the current tasklist plugin to support this feature in addition.

Any comments are welcome.

Regards,
Murat

Hi Murat,

Would be much easier for me if you can attach the diff between the current
plugin and your modified one. Makes it easier to review and merge quickly.

Thanks,

Jaap

Added an updated version with comments.

I also found a little 'tweak' with which multi selecting tags from the tags list (by using the ctrl key) filters
the tasks with an AND conjunction.

Update to support Zim V0.61

[Murat Güven (muratg)]

I enhanced the tasklist plugin a little further.

#Changelog:
Within the dialog, there are now 2 additional columns available for Tags and Comments. The text within
the comment column is auto wrapped.

I removed the tags from the tasks and display them within the additional tag column.

The comments to tasks (from the comments plugin) are now collected as well and displayed within the comments column.

Example:

[] Implement the possiblity to tick tasks within the plugin [d:2017-03-31] @GüvenMurat
   * comment: [2017-03-07]> Additional column needed
   * comment: [2017-03-07]> Ask Jaap about the index implementation

I also integrated following plugins into the tasklist plugin:
* Tag auto completion
* Task comment
* Task Due date

If you use them already, you should deactivate them.

Please let me know if you find any issues.

@Jaap: I also want to implement the possiblity to tick the tasks within the plugin. I looked through the index implementation but don't grasp it completely. I wonder if I can take the source id within the tasklist index and get the related page file to read and parse again for tasks and replace
UNCHECKED_BOX with CHECKED_BOX?

Great job Muren, THANKS

My 2 cents:
a) suggestion - Allow time in comments
b) formatting issue:

Test with :
[ ] Creating new task @tasklist
 * obs: [2017-03-08]> yesterday I changed"Na0e the str5ng f6r c600ents" from "comment" to "obs"
 * obs: [2017-03-08]> task list was fine, then
 * obs: [2017-03-08]> today shows truncated

The comment apears truncated on the task list

[Murat Güven (muratg)]

Thank you for your feedback.

I quick fixed the formatting issue. I will add a time option to the next version.

In addition I almost finalized the possibility to tick a task within the task list.
(Unfortunately the tick box does not react within the list, but the task is ticked).
I find it useful enough to provide it already.

Regards,
Murat

[Murat Güven (muratg)]

Added the requested time option.

The task ticking works now as expected. The filtered view gave me some challenges... :)

Feedback welcome!

Regards,
Murat

[Murat Güven (muratg)]

forgot to mention that you need to unselect / select the plugin in preferences, as the index need to be rebuilt

# V1.73 little bug fix in print function.

[mrgobbo (mario-gobbo)]

Hi Murat, great work, evolving fast !

* Time stamp in comments woks weel but semms to have an extra ], it reduces legibility
* add a comment after a comment allways ident. new task after new task keeps previous indent tabstop.

[*] other task @othertag
[*] Test new tasklist version @zim @tasklis [d: 2017-03-10]
 [*] subtast 1
  * obs: [2017-03-10]][09:26]> AWESOME FEATURE
 [ ] subtask 2
  * obs: [2017-03-10]][09:27]> another comment
   * obs: [2017-03-10]][09:28]> second comment always idented
    * obs: [2017-03-10]][09:28]> seems to exist an extra "]" between date and time. Its really necessary ?
 [*] subtask 3 Tick test , fact: cannot tick X , but I wonder if make sense for anyone, maybe doesn't worth the effort
 [ ] subtask 4 subtask idented correctly

MG

[Murat Güven (muratg)]

Hi Mario,

with regards to the extra bracket, can you please check your plugin configuration if there
is an extra bracket added to the date or time string?

With regards to the indentation, I think that behaviour is correct.
If you comment a Task, the comment should be indendet.
If you comment a comment, logically that comment should also be indendet?

So, if you want to add a comment to a task for which comments already exist, you should click the task and then add a comment. With this, you keep the latest comment directly under the task.

I hope this makes sense for you.

Regards,
Murat

[mrgobbo (mario-gobbo)]

Hi Murat,
a) comments: make sense, thanks for clarification
b) extra bracket: attached config dates files and print of preferences.

mario@comp395:~$ locate dates.list
/u01/home/mario/.config/zim/dates.list
/usr/share/zim/dates.list

mario@comp395:~$ diff /usr/share/zim/dates.list /u01/home/mario/.config/zim/dates.list

# V1.8 added history of ticked tasks with ticked date (together with pageview)

The task list dialog is now showing the history of ticked tasks. If the task was ticked with
the task list dialog, the ticked date is shown as well.

With the updated pageview.py module, the tick date is added to / removed from the task text.
This ticked date is also shown within the tasklist dialog.

In addition, I changed the task comment format, now being formatted as superscript.

[Murat Güven (muratg)]

see posting above for the pageview.py module
