Exporting list as OPML, and reimporting it seems to loose line breaks for multiline notes.

Exporting list as OPML, and reimporting it seems to loose line breaks for multiline notes. Everything in a note is displayed on a single line after reimport.
Or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards!

    Hello Paul,

    I just tried to reproduce it and it worked as expected, i.e. the line breaks are preserved. Could you probably give some more details, maybe URL of the list and exact sequence of your actions?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for fast reply.

    I simply select "more actions" then "export all" then OPML and make sure
    that notes are checked. Subsequently i pressed the "copy and close" button.
    After your reply i tried using ctrl-c instead of the button and it actually
    worked, the escape swquences for chars 10 and 13 were now included in
    copied text and reimport preserved the line breaks, so I'm happy!

    But try using the copy and close gui button and I think the problem may be
    reproduced, otherwise its something at my end, but i got the same on both
    my win 10 computer with firefox and android tablet with chrome.

    As for reimport, i create new list, press enter in default title, then
    click on the import data link below the title and paste the text into the
    window that pops up.

    Great outliner btw, I love it!

    Best regards,
    Paul

    Hello Paul,

    Thanks for more details! I believe I've fixed the issue, the fix is available on beta.checkvist.com - Checkvist: Online outliner and task manager for geeks site. I hope we'll update the main production server this week.

    Thanks again!

Any Toggl users here?

Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
