Tasks for taskfinder
#project #rust #term pri@2
For those seeing this on the repo: This is a bit of an experiment to see how hard-linking a file from my zettelkasten-like system (where I keep all of my notes and tasks and run taskfinder from) to the project repo works out. Ignore the bit at the bottom - it's a backlink to the main project file. Otherwise, you can see what I'm thinking about doing in the future.
TODO
- [ ] fix date in completed task view
- seems it is not using current date if there's been a date change since the app was started
- [ ] fix sorting of files by priority
- the priority of a task set is (incorrectly) being used as the file's priority when it is higher than the file even when all the incomplete tasks of that set have a lower priority. That is, if you have file with no priority, a task set within it with priority 1, and only one incomplete task within that task set (of priority > 1), the file will be sorted in the list of files as if it had a priority of 1. (If there were incomplete tasks with priority 1 within the set, this behavior would be expected.)
- should make a test for this. I've found similar sorting bugs. Should protect against regression.
- [ ] refresh interface when date has changed
- though I recently got the log to update (though see task about the bug with it), the dates aren't updated unless you change the view (e.g. "today" will not changed to "yesterday")
- [ ] add more tests
- particularly on due/completed dates at task-set level and the inheritance of that in tasks
- [ ] watch multiple directories
- optionally put under separate tabs. <https://ratatui.rs/examples/widgets/tabs/>
- [ ] in log mode (table), add a navigation control to go down/up one month (or maybe to beginning/end of month)
- [ ] handle all expects and unwraps
- except ones where they are absolutely ok - in this case, add comments
