ToDoList 5.6 has been Released
The big change in this version is the moving of sorting and filtering
to another view (a flat list view). This means that filtering and/or
sorting will no longer change the order of items in the tree view.
I
realize that some users will not like this change but it was necessary
to ensure the correct behaviour of ToDoList wrt *your* data.
In
particular, there were combinations of filtering in conjunction with
undo/redo which simply gave the wrong results (aka incorrectly modified
user data) and which could not be made to work within the existing
framework.
Adding to this was the inability to undo a sort which I could also not find a way to fix.
The benefits of having a list view are numerous:
1. Sort all your tasks in a single list without regard to a task's hierarchical position 2. Filter those tasks and re-sort 3. Export/print the listview as a list 4. Do all of this without actually modifying your data. 5. Tasklists no longer have to be resorted on loading (to restore the previous order). 6. It creates a template for having other views on the data, like d3m0n's Calendar Plugin[^]. 7. I consider that it will help make ToDoList a more robust and reliable tool.
I
have also added View menu keyboard shortcuts to switch back and forth
between the views (F9/F10) as well as a shortcut to toggle the focus
between the tasks and the comments (F11).
ToDoList now has its own resources page.

| Most of the
stuff I write is of a component nature rather than a fully fledged tool
or application which is why this section may be a bit thin. |
