Re: todo.txt web app w/ dropbox integration

Blank Lines in Todo.txt file

This is my first port of call for some help, it might be something else but I've got to start somewhere!

I am using todo.sh for my Todo list, Cygwin to run the command line and Samurize to embed it on my desktop which
is running Windows 7. I have my todo.txt file and have set up a 2011goals.txt file so I can move bigger
goals/tasks from my daily todo list to the other .txt file with both shown on the desktop.

Now, I've noticed that when I've moved the tasks from todo to 2011goals it's leaving blank lines in the main
todo file. So when I use ls to list my tasks they show up like this;

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
10.

So it looks like when I use the command 't move 8 2011goals.txt' it's moving the task but leaving the line
behind and not re-assigning the number to the next new task. If I look at the .txt file there's nothing
there, just the plain text (naturally) but I'm not sure if it's the script leaving the blank lines behind or
Samurize not reading the file right. I've pretty much no experience when it comes to Cygwin or the scripts
so I'm working blind hence the plea for help! Is there a way to set it to remove the blank line numbers or
refresh the file to remove the blanks? Or is this a formatting error with Samurize which means I have to
check with their support forum?

Thanks for any help you can give me! I've been really getting into using the todo.txt way of organising
things and it seems to be working better then the other Todo systems I've tried, hopefully this will be just
a little speedbump!

By default, TODOTXT_PRESERVE_LINE_NUMBERS is set, so that the task numbers only
change when you explicitly archive done items - this makes tasks easier to
recognize by their fixed numbers. You can turn this off via the todo.sh -n
option, or by setting
    export TODOTXT_PRESERVE_LINE_NUMBERS=0
in your todo.cfg, or explicitly request a clean up via 'todo.sh archive'.

You seem to directly include the file contents of todo.txt in Samurize. Instead,
you could have Samurize execute the "C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe todo.sh -p ls"
command periodically (say, every minute). This takes more of a performance hit,
but you would get all the filtering, numbering, sorting, (yes, and suppression
of empty lines) of todo.sh. For example, I only put the prioritized tasks
(todo.sh lsp) on my desktop.

That's fantastic, thanks very much! The "C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe todo.sh -p ls" command, do you run that
as a Console Program or an Active Script?

The archive command worked a treat, thanks again!

Console Program; I didn't know about Active Script, this seems to be
limited to VBScripts etc.
Precisely, I am running a todo.cmd wrapper from within Samurize; this small
batch file then launches bash.exe and todo.sh, and passes all of my todo.sh
arguments (-p is important, because Samurize does not understand the ANSI color
sequences). I had to do this because I needed to add some directories to PATH,
as my .bashrc somehow wasn't sourced properly. Having a small batch wrapper also
makes this easier to troubleshoot from outside Samurize.

Todo.txt Touch update

I've just merged magh (aka ma_weee2005)'s latest commit into my
repository, which has much-improved Dropbox support:

https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-touch

The apk magh made available for download here works perfectly on my
Android device. I'm really loving it:

https://github.com/magh/todo.txt-touch/downloads

However, when I compile the project and try to sign into Dropbox in
the emulator, it doesn't work. I added a log line to output the
exception message. Here's what logcat tells me:

I/System.out(  229): authorizeDropbox:

I/TodoApplication(  229): Request token or token secret not set in

I get the same result if I use the current state of magh's repository
(though without the extra log line). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Update: if I disconnect the app from my Dropbox account on
Dropbox.com, and set the emulator to clear all user data and start all
over from scratch, I am able to authenticate and get my todo.txt file
synced, though the process removes the current Todo.txt folder and
recreates it.

One more note: We shouldn't be including my Dropbox key and secret in
the source code, so I just committed a change which puts it in a
configuration file which is not included in the repository:

https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-touch/commit/4dd1824cd21e88d27f739d5fd5cd094926eebb23

Soon I will delete the current app and each dev will have to use
his/her own key/secret for development purposes and the official
distribution keys won't be public.

Re: Re: Todo.txt Touch update

New here and need a little help

Hi all. New to the project and wanted to get involved with the Android version of todo.txt. Though new to
Android and Java programming I have background on other platforms and have been doing iphone/ipad
programming for the last 18 months. 

So far I've set up GIT, forked my project and have been able to compile and run it (yay!). The problem I'm
encountering is on the setup for the dropbox integration. Though I've verified I'm using my correct ID and
password I can't get the app to connect using either my own compile (yes, I set up dropbox.xml) or the build
from the github project. The error is: "Cannot create Dropbox account". 

Any tips on what I can look at?

Thanks!

Chris Grey
