The issue is that in CALDAV, the VTODO availability is opt-in for each calendar.
Vdirsync does not know if a calendar will be dedicated or even available for VTODOs, when it proceed to discover/metasync a new or empty directory it will only copy the metadatas: color
and displayname
.
tdx will discover existing lists by scanning recursively to search for some existing BEGIN:VTODO
/END:VTODO
fields in a calendar and label them as a list (named as the content of displayname
).
I like that tdx does not list every calendar as a list because I have a lot of holidays/birthdays calendars that I don't want to see listed. But then, it's hard to imagine a clean solution to get this information for empty an calendar.
I see 3 possibilities:
displayname
for some prefix/suffix: my VTODO calendars titles end with "- Journal". But it would mean some calendar renaming for most users.For now I use the first solution but I would like to see the second one implemented.
@kkga, thank you for tdx, I was looking for this kind of app for a long time, I use khal for calendars and nb for notes, but for todos I tried many things (Calcurse, taskwarrior, nb) and always missed a simple solution using CALDAV. Are you planning to continue working on this project?
@tkapias thank you for the detailed report, good to know that somebody uses this tool!
Unfortunately, it's been a very long time since I touched any Go code: at this point, I'm not even sure how to approach the problem.
As I don't plan on maintaining this project, I'd recommend trying out todoman, which is a much older and more mature tool that is still actively maintained.
@kkga In fact, I've just realized that I tried todoman 2 years ago and found a problem with categories management. It's been solved in the meantime, but I'd completely forgotten it existed.
tdx seemed like a very good starting point and still seems to have a better formatting, but I'll work on that part with Todoman and see how it goes.
Thanks for the link.
Thanks for this awesome CLI tool! Was looking for something like this for a while.
As the title says, it's currently impossible to create a task in a directory that doesn't contain a file with an
*.ics
extension (or any other extension configured).This method https://github.com/kkga/tdx/blob/main/vdir/vdir.go#L131-L139 seems to prevent it. Do we need to check the existence of a file?
