I added an option to export as CSV. 

 

The format is:

Column 1 - "important" if the item is pinned else empty

Column 2 - task description

Column 3 - due date if preset followed by tag name (if different from #default), otherwise empty

 

Check it out and let me know. Currently, it exports data to the desktop, but you can easily change that if needed in the Run Script node of the "Export as CSV" script filter in the workflow.

thanks Benzi, I will look into transforming this into a Statusboard version this weekend and keep you informed

Hello, 

I am unable to get this to work, when i select a file in DB and press cntrl/command/D it open a finder window at the desktop level, 

what am i dong wrong? I am sure this is operator error

thanks in advance,

Until I get something more robust in place - here is a manual workaround approach in v1.6

 

I have included the option to export and import todo lists in Taskpaper-like format. So you can export your current todo list to an existing .Taskpaper file or the clipboard. You can import all items also from a .Taskpaper file. Since importing items always adds to the existing list, you should clear all items and then import the .taskpaper file.

 

It is a slight pain though (because of the manual intervention required), but it should work.

 

There are some limitations with the integration to Taskpaper (no support for notes, no sub projects, projects cannot have a space in between etc).

 

PS. stumbled across this workflow called TodoFlow which has a Taskpaper-ready format for its todo files, maybe you can give that a try too - I haven't tried the workflow myself, but I did borrow some code for the import functionality.

Hi Benzi, 

I have another question/request/idea

I have been using Panic's new app called status board http://panic.com/statusboard/

and it can display CSV files, 

can the todo file be output as a csv?

thanks in advance, 

j

Thanks for considering my request Benzi! when i open the file that todo makes now in TaskPaper (as you probably know) it gives me a great deal of Python code  

I presently have my todo yaml file saved to a folder in dropbox and can add and delete todos from any of my macs which is great, I guess i am just looking for a solution that would allow me to interact with them on iOS

thanks again for your great work, 

j

I love this workflow! I have a request that needs to reside outside the workflow but that would accomplish the following 2 things:

1. at certain times a day, a scheduled automator process would export my todo list to a plain text document readable with Taskpaper on iOS (synced to dropbox)

2. I could add tasks to that text document in a way that it would get reimported into the Alfred todo automatically (again possibly with an automator scheduled task)

is this possible, is this of interest to others?

thanks, i was successful in getting it to work using my gmail account but would much prefer to be able to use my .mac account, 

thanks for your work!

Hello, 

I don't understand which email and password to input? i have tried my any.do account data and my email data and neither seem to work, 

can you help

j

Hello, just tried your workflow, it works great. Do you think there would be a way to decide from Alfred in which note the todo ends up?

I have a workflow request: I am a Podio user and can add tasks by sending emails to a specific email address. I would love to be able to create the subject and the body text of an email going to a specific address right from Alfred (ideally without having to go through the Mail.app.)

if you have ideas on how to achieve this, I am available for testing,

Hello all, 

I am an Alfred fan boy who would love to see a workflow that would allow adding tasks to Podio form Alfred. Are any of the talented people here interested in tackling that challenge. Podio has an API but I don't even know where to start. 

any help or advice would be much appreciated
