1 | INTRODUCTION |
| 2 | tdl is a lightweight program for managing a 'to-do' list of pending jobs that | |
| 3 | you have. | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | It supports the following features : | |
| 6 | - 1 database per directory, or per tree of directories (tdl searches up through | |
| 7 | parent directories to find the database, so you can have one per project, for | |
| 8 | example.) | |
| 9 | - add new entries, mark them done, edit the text of entries | |
| 10 | - add a new entry and immediately mark it done (e.g. to log tasks you did which | |
| 11 | you tackled immediately you got them.) | |
| 12 | - organise the entries in a tree structure (sub-tasks of other tasks etc) | |
| 13 | - move the tasks around and re-organise the hierarchy. | |
| 14 | - list the tasks in the database (default listing excludes 'done' tasks, but | |
| 15 | these can be shown too if desired). The listing is in colour by default, with | |
| 16 | monochrome output as an option. | |
| 17 | - allows entries to be prioritised (priorities shown in different colours on | |
| 18 | listing). The listing can selectively show only entries at or above a given | |
| 19 | priority level. | |
| 20 | - the start time for tasks can be set, to allow for 'deferred' tasks with start | |
| 21 | times in the future. Such tasks are excluded from the default listing. | |
| 22 | - track date added and date completed for each task | |
| 23 | - generate report of tasks completed in a given earlier time period (useful if | |
| 24 | you have to produce a weekly summary of your work done, for example) | |
| 25 | - import and export entries, to allow splitting and merging of databases. | |
| 26 | - written in C | |
| 27 | - runs on a Linux console or in a terminal window. It currently generates a | |
| 28 | coloured listing, so a colour xterm or rxvt is preferred. | |

| 30 | The functionality and interface are heavily inspired by the program devtodo. | |
