myTODO v1.2.0

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 26 Jul 13:12

The structure release: todos can hang under other todos, a toolbar puts the
common moves one click away, and the list keeps itself in a sensible order —
what you are working on stays in sight, finished work sinks, and new todos
never land under it.

Added

  • Named color labels — colors carry categories, so they now have names.
    Settings → Todo colors lists the whole palette one color per row: rename
    or recolor any of the 8 built-ins, add up to 12 of your own, and put the
    built-ins back with one click.

  • Every list can rename a color for itself — the palette is shared, the
    names are yours: the same blue can be "Waiting for review" at work and
    "Groceries" at home. The todo detail panel's Manage… opens the names of
    the list you are in; empty means "use the shared name".

  • Icon & color for a list — right-click a list → Icon & color… opens a
    roomy picker with 36 curated icons (work, home, study, travel, money…) and
    the named list colors, with a live preview of how the list will look.

  • Lists have their own color — from a separate palette (Settings → List
    colors
    ), so list colors and todo colors never fight over the same meaning.
    Pick one from the list's right-click menu; it shows as a stripe in the rail,
    a tint behind the icon, the tab underline and a line along the top of the
    pane — in a split view you can see at a glance which pane is which.

  • Settings has a sidebar — the dialog is much roomier and split into
    sections instead of one long column: Appearance, Shortcuts and
    Files. Ctrl+K also jumps straight to a section ("Settings: appearance").

  • Appearance section — theme (follow system / dark / light), window scale
    and todo text size now have a proper home, not just the title-bar popover.

  • Todos sort themselves as you work — mark one In Progress and it jumps
    to the top (under the pins), mark it Done or Cancelled and it sinks to
    the bottom (above the archive). What you are working on stays in sight, what
    is finished stops getting in the way. A todo only ever moves inside its own
    group, and pinned todos stay put. Turn it off in the new Settings →
    Behavior
    section.

  • Reorder a todo from the keyboardAlt+↑ and Alt+↓ move the
    selected todo one row up or down, so ordering no longer needs the mouse. It
    stays inside its own group and under its own parent, and a pinned todo moves
    among the pinned ones. Both are in the Edit menu and the right-click
    menu, which is also where the whole sub-item block (Make sub-item, Lift out)
    now lives with its shortcuts spelled out.

  • New todos no longer land under the finished onesSettings → Behavior
    → New todos go
    picks between to the top (right under what you are
    working on) and to the bottom (the end of the list, but still above
    everything done and cancelled). Applies wherever a todo is born: quick add,
    the global quick-add window, a group's right-click menu, or an applied AI
    proposal.

  • A todo can become a sub-item of another — for when something turns out
    to be part of a bigger job rather than a job of its own. Drag a todo onto
    another one and it slides underneath it; aim for the thin strip at the top or
    bottom edge of a row instead and a line shows it will land between two rows,
    as before. Tab nests the selected todo under the one above it,
    Shift+Tab lifts it back out, and the right-click menu has both. Three
    levels deep at most — the same limit groups have.
    Sub-items travel with their parent: pin, archive, delete or move a todo to
    another list and the whole branch goes with it. Statuses stay independent,
    except for the new Done with sub-items in the right-click menu, which
    closes a todo and everything under it in one undoable step.
    A todo with sub-items gets a caret, exactly like a group: fold the branch
    away and the row shows how many items are hiding under it. Searching opens
    everything up, so nothing stays hidden from a filter.

  • Toolbar — a slim row under the title bar for the things you reach for
    constantly on the selected todo: undo, make sub-item / lift out, done, pin
    and delete. Every button has a tooltip with its shortcut, and greys out when
    it does not apply — so the toolbar also tells you what is possible right now.
    The title bar is untouched; hide the row from View → Toolbar if you would
    rather have the space.

Fixed

  • Text inside input fields could not be selected with the mouse.

Changed

  • Double-click renames a todo in place — the row turns into an input, Enter
    saves, Esc cancels, clicking away saves. No more detour through the detail
    panel for a typo.
  • Enter opens the details of the selected todo (this is what double-click
    used to do). Right-click → Open details and F2 still work as before.

Install

  • Installer: myTODO_x.y.z_x64-setup.exe (NSIS) or the .msi — installed copies update themselves from here.
  • Portable: the -portable.zip — unzip and run, your data stays in the folder.
