Feature request: Make @+ mapping configurable #57
Comments
I guess, as Thunderbird/Lightning doesn't have a field for neither Project nor Context. That's why the extension by default uses fields Category and Location, respectively. I would say, this is not a bug then... |
I agree, this is not a bug. More like a feature request. All I was asking if we configure what goes where to allow this add-on to work with other tools (in my case Simpletask on Android) which store this information the other way round. |
I tend to agree with @zell-mbc ... it is confusing. Funny enough, if you dare to edit a task in Thunderbird, it clearly labels what is called a "project" (in this extensions' context) as "Category". To me using that for "context" (in the GTD sense) sounds like a better choice. Why is that? You can flag categories (in TB sense) with color tags. This is very helpful for organizing the calendar and task views. |
After loking at https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt I think the mapping looks like below:
todotxt "+" = project tag "@" = Context tag
AddOn "+" = category "@" = Location
Using one of their examples, "(B) Schedule Goodwill pickup +GarageSale @phone" I would say the mapping should be the other way round?
I use Simpletask on my Android phone to get to the todo.txt which seems to handle things the opposite way as well.
However, you may have had good reasons to do it the way you did, so how about making the mapping configurable?
