WebDav access

Hi, I store my todo file on a webdav drive hosted by a commercial service. I can open, edit and save the file directly when I use Taskpaper on my mac. However, when I try to do the same with TodoPaper from my Win Laptop, the program acts as if the file was saved, but in fact the file on the networks drive has not been changed at all. I circumvent this problem currently by saving the todo list on my hard drive and after finishing editing, I sync it with the webdrive.

I wondered if you know any way to solve this problem.

I also wondered if there is a way to save the "view" made under TodoPaper, i.e. to have filtering tabs show up the way that they were set when TodoPaper is shut down. Currently, I need to add tabs manually every time I start TodoPaper.

Otherwise, I am very happy with this software, especially given the fact that it is just 1 month old (congratulations!) Best, Christoph

Hey Christoph,

@webdav - This is an interesting problem. I was wondering, are you mounting the WebDav folder as a drive in Windows manually or are you using commercial software to access the WebDav folder? I currently do not have a WebDav folder to test against, so if you (or anybody else) has the ability to set up a test folder that I can use for this purpose, that would be great. If not, I'll do my best to diagnose blind.

@savingViews - There isn't a way currently to save your views. You CAN save your search queries by pressing enter after typing in the search text box. You can access your saved queried by clicking the magnifying icon in the search box. This will be helpful for complex queries like:

 @today OR @tomorrow NOT @done

I've added this (saving views) functionality to my TodoPaper list, and will try to get something along these lines in the next release.

Thanks for your kind words and comments. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

Best, Jordan

Hey Jordan,

I connect manually through Windows and use a webdav drive included in the free mail accounts offered by web.de (I believe the site is entirely in German, but I could set up a test account for you if you want).

Best, Christoph

Actually, I think I could make a guest access to one of my folders on the webdrive. Let me know if this seems easier to you.

Best, Christoph

A guest account would work perfectly. You can email me the credentials when you have this set up. This will definitely be helpful in debugging this.

Thanks!
