I am hard at work on Check Off 4, and I am hoping to share a bit more with you all in the coming weeks and months. One issue I'm considering with 4.0 is ditching the menu-bar attachment and making Check Off it's own, small window. This would make it handle Spaces a bit better, allow it to show up in the Dock, work with Exposé and give me a bit more freedom with the user interface.
It'd still be a small app, just not attached to the menubar. How would you feel about this?
I'm getting closer moving full steam ahead on getting a 4.0 version of Check Off built for everyone to enjoy. The original Check Off codebase was built in the 10.2/Jaguar days, so I'm using this opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start from scratch.
What I'd like to know is the following:
1. What you really like about Check Off 3
2. What you really dislike about Check Off 3
3. What could I add to Check Off 4 that would make it your preferred quick todo list?
I'm liking Check Off so far... a little rough around the edges but on it's way. I came across a functionality issue: After creating a long list of activities, broken out into several submenus and sub-submenus, I accidentally deleted the main parent ( I have a sensitive touchpad ). Unfortunately there seemed no way to undo the action... ⌘-Z didn't work, <esc> didn't work. I eventually had to restore the pfile using Time Machine and redo some of my work.
Was this "stupid user" error, a bug in the program, or a missing feature?</esc>
Check Off handles ToDo items more effectively than iCal at the moment. I am using Check Off so that I can carry my Check Off ToDo list with me in iCal on my iPod Touch.
Here is a listing of steps to do this. I export my Check Off list to a text file to my Desktop. Then open iCal and open the exported Check Off list in TextEdit. Then select and drag the text list to the first day of the month in Month, Week, or Day views. It is automatically labelled as ToDo at 12AM or anytime I wish and is part of my iCal calendar.
The Check Off list syncs with your iPhone or iPod Touch beautifully and anywhere else you use iCal. Anytime I update my Checkoff ToDo list, I delete the old one and drag a new one to iCal. If I have a hierarchical project with many steps, I can make a project todo list and drag just that list to any day and time on my iCal calendar.
my firewall tells me that check off continually attemps to use /usr/bin/nmblookup to make UDP network connections to IP numbers 172.16.20.255 and 172.16.202.255. can you explain why that is?
also, it attempted to make a TCP connection to checkoffapp.com when i first launched it, even though i told it i did not want automatic update checking.
software which makes unauthorized use of my internet connection is usually something i try to avoid.
The html export for Check off_3.8 is not working as it should, it generates nonsense entries if the text contains letters other than letters from the lower ASCII code. That means, in other words, you can only use the program for text written in modern English. No old English, (with Þ, þ, ð), no French, no German, no Scandinavian with Þ, þ, ð, ý, etc. ... Very bad. I enclose a screenshot so you can see for yourself.
If you can't fix it, I suggest you write clear and unmistakably on the download page that this program is old fashioned and ONLY works with English.
I decided to add another feature and released the latest build officially as 3.8. The only change in this release is the integration of an auto-updating mechanism so you can easily get new releases.
I am using the Sparkle framework like many of your other favorite applications.
1. Check Off 3.8 does not always remember urls put in the note of an item, and if it does the link is broken.
2. Stuff put in the note of one item shows up in the note of another.
3. Release notes say there's a new app icon, but I cannot see how you access it.
CheckOff is great, but using the keyboard shortcut I've added to it throws me to Space #1 rather than Space #4 (or wherever) in which I hit the shortcut. It can be distracting if I'm making a task about something in Space #4, but my todo list is in Space #1.
I had 3.6 installed on my G4 powerbook and had to backup, wipe and reinstall. Now I'm on Tiger and have installed the latest Check Off and I just can't seem to figure out how to transfer my list over. I couldn't find anything in my Library for Check Off and starting up the old one from my external backup brings up a blank slate.
Anything I can do? also, I know there's the export function, but how about an import function so next time I have to switch computers I can to a little export/import?
Printing problem. Instead of getting a [ ] or [X], I get 1[ ]0 or 1[x]0 I trashed the preference file and reinstalled Checkoff, but same thing happened. I am using OS 10.5.3 on an Intel iMac
Basically to have an online way to see your todo's, without being too complex, having an online version of a todo list that auto-synchs with an iPhone list and a computer list would be the ultimate - like DontForgetTheMilk, they made a google gadget and as you know GMail now accepts GG native:
I travel a lot, but because of the way iCal works with the iPhone I don't use time zones in iCal. However it seems that Today is shifting the times on all my events. I would be great to be able to control this, or am I missing something.
