What's missing in TaskPaper 3 Preview?

Thanks. I did find it confusing having “Home” (which wasn’t clickable) as I kept thinking of it as my “Home todo list” (as opposed to “Work”)

I miss the Projects toolbar item in TaskPaper 2, which made it easy for me to navigate projects without using a sidebar. Seems like this might still be good at least as an optional toolbar item, even if it isn’t in the default set.

I can’t drag items from page to projects in the sidebar

Evaluating TP3. W/o the capability to link / drag&drop emails, notes, webpages etc it’s just a lone text file. And look like TP2 lost this capability too.

I think TaskPaper 3 has all the same linking capabilities (plus some) compared to TaskPaper 2. It automatically links urls and absolute and relative file paths.

Try to drag & drop emails to TP3. If there is a different best practice (e.g. script) I am eager to learn.

Perhaps drag drop needs to use a different part of the clipboard for dragging from Mail ?

In the meanwhile, you could attach a keystroke to a script:

Mail to TP3 script?

Very preliminary sketch here, just writing things straight to an Inbox: project. Not sure if the sequence of parts is right yet (sender, received, link, etc) My guess is that if you select several things from the same correspondent, mixed in with other stuff, the Inbox should probably show things grouped by sender ? On help with which projects they go to next, I think it’ll probably be more sensible for me to write a separate script for generally selecting TaskPaper items, throwing up a menu o…

Ah, thanks I didn’t realize that wasn’t working. Fixed for next release.

Since I use Markdown editors for writing, an additional level of emphasis would be nice. Like a ### level. Thanks!

Any more consideration given to being able to rename “Home” in the sidebar. I would like to have my actual home tasks under a project called Home. Having duplicate "Home"s makes keyboard navigation difficult. I can of course use an alternate project name for my Home tasks, but this seems counterintuitive.

It seems odd that a very common project/area name in many people’s task list would be reserved for some other purpose.

[jessegrosjean]

I will try to do something about this when I get a chance.

I think I’m onboard with the idea of using the document filename as the label. But if that doesn’t work out for some reason I expect I can at least offer a theme override option.

Uh, Quick Entry was my single favorite feature of TaskPaper.

I “upgraded” to support Jesse - now I need to scrounge through my trash to find the old app. Beyond disappointing.

Various forms of Quick Entry here:

What's the latest on "Quick Entry" solutions for TaskPaper 3?

Returning to TaskPaper after some time away, I’m wondering what folks are using as a substitute for the “Quick Entry” dialog no longer available in TP3? I’m currently using LaunchBar’s “Prepend text file…” feature but I’d love to find something even easier. Anything using LaunchBar or KeyboardMaestro would be fine, but I’d like to have new entries automatically include the "- " prefix and end up in an “Inbox:” project in a pre-determined .taskpaper file.
