tkToDo: "To Do" list manager for the iPaq

Download screen shot

tktodo is a utility to keep track of one's ToDo list. It can manage multiple lists, based on category.

It is cross-platform, and will run on any system where tcl/Tk can be installed. This way, it may be used on iPaq handheld systems as well as desktop un*x, Windows, or Macintosh systems. The user interface has been optimized to work well on handheld devices.

The data is stored in a tab-delimited, flat file so that it may be manipulated by many tools. It can easily be imported and exported between various other programs. The data can be edited with a spreadsheet application, for instance. The author shares the data between a Palm Pilot, iPaq running Familiar linux, a laptop running Debian linux, and a desktop system running Windows 2000.

Notes

When a data file is read (see below for the default locations for data files), the Category field will be parsed so that entries may be viewed by individual categories. Entries can be sorted by priority, status, or task. Individual entries can viewed by double-clicking on them. They can be further manipulated by highlighting them, and selecting an operation from the Entry menu.

The displayed list can be set to only display those items that are pending (not yet complete).

Files

The only other file required is a tab-delimited, flat text file for data. This will be created by the program, or another file may be specified on the command line during invocation. The default location is:

PlatformLocation
un*x$HOME/.tktodo
Windows%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%/tktodo
Macintosh$PREFS/tktodo

Compatibility

Since the program is written in tcl/Tk, it will run on any system where these tools can be installed. It has been tested on handheld and desktop linux systems, and Windows 2000. A compiled binary is provided for Windows.
