| | 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. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | The functionality and interface are heavily inspired by the program devtodo. |
