- 11:52 PM Feature #42: Purge command to remove deleted tasks

- 02:49 PM Feature #221: journal
- Somewhere between log-file and personal diary, the journal will become an essential tool. From the command line, you will be able to jump right into editing the journal with your fave text editor, just by entering "task -j" (same as "task journal...
- 02:31 PM Feature #220: review script
- Straight-on task-doing, starting with the most important/urget things first, is what taskwarrior is about, along with the massive stress reduction that comes from knowing you're not forgetting anything, HOWEVER, if all of your focus is at the top ...
- 02:22 PM Bug #219: task timesheet through pipe uses escape sequences
- All other reports have nice looking column headings, but 'task timesheet' does not.
- 02:15 PM Feature #218: context support
- One of the pillars of the GTD task management school-of-thought, is "contexts". The thinking is that now matter geared up and rarin' ta go you may be, you can really only perform (some) tasks within a definable context. That is to say that if you ...
- 01:47 PM Feature #217: routine
- the "routine" functionality is an extension of "contexts", and will require time-of-day handling. It will serve multiple functions, from automatically assigning due:dates based on context, to automated avoidance of scheduling conflicts, to present...
- 01:34 PM Feature #216: User-defined Exclusions
- A good task management system will let you track EVERYTHING, from the most important/urgent tasks, to the piddlingly trivial. The problem is that the least important things clutter and cloud the big picture. With UDE, users will be able to define ...
- 01:20 PM Feature #215: goal-setting script
- We all know how important it is to set goals for yourself, but for many people it's the hardest thing. Happily, methods have been established to make this easier, without re-inventing the process, and this action script will ask all the right qu...

- John Florian wrote: > I think we'd want an rc option that enabled/disabled this feature though. perhaps autoshell=on/off and a CLI override (noautoshell) so that you can stay in autoshell mode and your scripts can still behave nicely.
- 10:44 AM Bug #211: usage of "update" missing from help output
- although I'm not sure of it's status. Usage of "update" for compound commands is not yet implemented. (?)
- 09:41 AM Feature #210: shell mode extension and enhancement
- That's clever. I think we'd want an rc option that enabled/disabled this feature though. I can envision a day when I'll have other scripts creating tasks for me and I wouldn't want a scripting error to freeze because it was blocked on input. ...
- 12:05 AM Feature #210: shell mode extension and enhancement

- 08:08 PM Bug #207 (Rejected): weekly recurrence requires quantity vs. monthly which does not
- That's because "m" is the minimum unique string required to identify "monthly" from a list of durations which contains no other durations that begin with the letter "m". The "w" is ambiguous, and could be "weekly" or "weekdays". But the real...

- 02:41 PM Feature #204: offer completed projects for bash completion
- Once all tasks for a given project are done, the project disappears from the bash completion list. It may be useful (hint: rc option) to also allow bash completion of projects from completed.data, at least until a purge is performed.

- 09:27 AM Feature #201: wait dates relative to due date
- It might be useful to do something like: task add due:12/20/2009 wait:-1m recur:y "Buy Christmas presents"
- 09:25 AM Bug #200: man page missing documentation of wait attribute
- Under the section ATTRIBUTES AND METADATA there is no description of the wait attribute.
- 09:18 AM Feature #198 (Assigned): lazy dates
- Good idea. I'm currently researching relative date entries - have done this a couple of years ago for scheduling problems - and I think this fits as well into this category. Will write it down.
- 09:15 AM Feature #199: bash completion of rc setting overrides
- If task had something like a _rc command, it should be possible to have bash complete the setting names.
- 09:12 AM Feature #198: lazy dates
- It would be convenient if the user could omit the year in a date entry and task would assume the current year in such cases.

- 12:58 PM Feature #176: search with user-controlled case-sensitivity
- Personally, I favour "upper-case sensitivity" where searches in all lower-case are case insensitive, but the use of any upper-case character in a search string forces the search to be case-sensitive.

- 01:22 AM Support #23: Handle one-way file upgrade for 1.8.0
- The following commands should work, as a way to recover from the forced format upgrade: % task-1.8.0 export > file.csv % rm ~/.task/pending.data ~/.task/completed.data ~/.task/undo.data % task-1.7.1 import file.csv It should work, but it c...

- 11:39 PM Bug #149: bash_completion does not do projects
- Federico, here's a patch that allows completion of project names so long as you've typed at least "pro:". Of course, it's happy if you've given "project:" or anything in between. In addition, I've also made tags more friendly as I found that I c...

- There are still references to taskprogram@googlegroups.com in bash_completion.sh as of 1.7.1. Also steps 1 and 2 as described in the same file should probably use underscores instead of hyphens to match the packaged file.
