Suppose I have tasks A, B, C due today.

Suppose I have tasks A, B, C due today. And say B is a (daily) repeating task. The iCal entry for today will come up as A, B, B, C (duplication of B, the repeating task).

You don't see the duplication in future entries until you get to that day. So say tomorrow I've got to do E and F (and B which is repeating daily). Then today I see my tomorrow's task as B, E, F but when I return to it tomorrow it will be B, B, E, F.

So, long story short, you've got a bug on how the repeating tasks are being pushed into iCal.

    Hello Ali Madooei,

    I've just tried to reproduce the issue and it works for me, i.e. I don't see any duplication in the generated entries.

    May I take a look into your account and see your iCal feed? I'll need your registration e-mail in Checkvist.

    Regards,

    By the way, when we import iCal there is no way to edit the tasks/events on calendar unlles you copy it (one-by-one) to one's own calendar. Is there an easier way that you are aware of?

    The basic idea to schedule ToDos throughout a day.

    The Zapier is a complete mess - it does not work. It goes over a list and if an item does not have a due date, it breaks down.

    Hello Ali Madooei, thanks a lot for writing about the problem. I've reproduced it and I hope, I've fixed it. The fix is on the staging server, beta.checkvist.com - Checkvist: Keyboard-centric online outliner and task manager (same login/password). Could you please try getting the Calendar link from this site and check if the problem is fixed for you?

    As for scheduling times through the day - unfortunately, we don't have a better solution yet.

    Hey Kirill Maximov Unfortunately it is still the same!

    While you are at this, is there a way the iCal would not end up being read-only? So I can move things around in GCal or Outlook.

    Hi, Ali Madooei, looks like I haven't restarted the server. Could you please taking the calendar from beta.checkvist.com - Checkvist: Keyboard-centric online outliner and task manager once more?

    As for read-only - Checkvist does not export the data in read-only mode, the data should be editable. At least I managed to edit info in the google calendar. But, I'm not sure if such changes will persist, because Google updates calendar feed once a day from URL.

    Best,

    Kirill Maximov I'm afraid the problem is still there. Repeating tasks for today and tomorrow are duplicated but the rest are okay.

    That's really strange :( I don't see duplicating records in the calendar feed after my update. Could you please download calendar file from Checkvist and send it to kirsa@checkvist.com?

    Thanks,

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? :)
