todo.txt is not opening on todotxtmac #32

I am unable to open my todo.txt on this program.It is bigger in size (>25 KB). I am able to open the same on todo.txt cli.

Hi, @lalthomas.

A todo.txt file over 25 KB should not present a problem to TodoTxtMac. I tested with my done.txt file of 175 KB, and temporary todo.txt files of over 1 MB, without any problems. Larger files load more slowly, but other than that TodoTxtMac handles them without incident.

Hi Micheal,

Actually the problem is now solved.I created a new file and copied the content to the new file.I also deleted '(' that were present in the todo.txt, which i used after the priority labels.Now it is working fine. I use windows and mac interchangeably.Thank you for the quick response.

  • What version of TodoTxtMac are you on? (Please use the most recent.)
  • What version of OS X are you on, how much RAM, and what model Mac?
  • What is TodoTxtMac doing when you try to load the file? Is it crashing? Can you send a screenshot?
  • Could you send me your todo.txt file for testing (post a Droxbox link)? I wonder if there is some invisible character in the file causing a problem.

Later I had the same problem, I found that it is because of the OS specific line endings. Please refer this stack overflow answer for resolving this issue.

@lalthomas Thanks for your bug report. I don't think there's any more code I can add to support different line endings, though. From the start, TodoTxtMac supported both Windows and Unix (Mac OS X) line endings--even weird combinations of the two in the same file. I did a lot of testing in the early development phases, and even went and committed changes to Todotxt.net on Windows to ensure cross-platform compatibility.
