Hello.

Hello. I use the ‘Manual Backup’ feature of the Pro Account. I do this on my phone, using a browser, at my Checkvist settings web page. Because of the small size of my phone, this is a little awkward. Is there something I can easily enter in the Address/Url bar to start the backup download? Thank you.

    Hello Alan, could you please explain why would you need to do it from the phone? Maybe automated backup to Dropbox would suit you better?

    Kirill Maximov Hi KIR. At this point, I find mobile Checkvist somewhat difficult to use on my phone. I realize it will continue to be developed and I look forward to that. For now, I am using a different tool on my phone to view my Checkvist lists utilizing the OPML data from the manual backup. I often do this soon after I have worked with my lists in the web app so the once daily backup to Dropbox does not happen soon enough. And I often find the need to do this when I am away from my computer. This is why I am using the manual backup on my phone. The functionality of the manual backup is working fine on my phone and I can continue to do that. I was just wondering if there was an easier way. Thanks!

    For me, the automated backup suites well. As always, there are wishes: (a) option for rotating backups (e. g. last 7 days), or (b) include the date in the backup file. If the file name could be specified with placeholders (e. g. backup_YYYY-MM-DD.zip), both cases could be handeled.

    Thanks for the explanation, Alan. The URL you can use is https://checkvist.com/checklists/export_all (you must be logged in into Checkvist for it to work).

    Ralf Hauber Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not sure why do you need backups rotation. Dropbox saves a history of each file for the last 30 days at least, and for the automated backup on our servers, we also store data for the last 30 days.

    Is it what you need?

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
