Description:

Requires the plasma-widgets-addons package (sudo apt install plasma-widgets-addons) since we use the sticky note widget's code to save to file.

* List is saved to ~/.local/share/plasma_notes/todolist which you can open up in your text editor and edit (changes will sync to the widget).
* Checkbox: Complete note (deletes it).
* Links are auto-detected.
* Shift+Enter: New line on current item.
* Enter: Next Item.
* Up/Down: Select Item.
* Ctrl+Up/Down: Reorder Item.
* Number of incomplete items is shown in the panel icon.
* Alt+Enter or Ctrl+Enter: Toggle complete (deletes it).

Last changelog:

v11 - March 31 2019 5 months ago

* Strikeout completed items (optional) when not deleting on complete (Issue #9). Also optionally fade completed items.
* Hide "Desktop Widget: Show Background" toggle when widget is in the panel.
* Updated Dutch translations by @Vistaus (Pull Request #15)

Great addon! Would love if I could remove the counter on it because it kinda gives me anxiety. Thanks!

Add an option to align the widget in the right, so when adding more lists, it increases to left

Hi, how i can resize window for panel on the desktop??

Report

As in, making a list wider? The popup window should already grow taller as you add more items.

Changed the 20 to 30 at line 14 in FullRepresentation.qml - worked perfectly! Thanks, this is a gread plasmoid and should keep me from forgetting what the boss wants me to do....

I have many items in the list. Is there a way (including editing a file in the widget) to make the popup window hold more than 10 items? 25 or 30 would be great. Thanks...

Are you using the widget in the panel or on the desktop? If it's in the panel, the "FullRepresentation" has a `Layout.preferredHeight` that controls the height of the popup. For a desktop widget, the height starts at "Layout.minimumHeight", but the user can resize a desktop widget to be larger.

Open up: `~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.todolist/contents/ui/FullRepresentation.qml`

https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-todolist/blob/master/package/contents/ui/FullRepresentation.qml

As you can see, I sorta tried making the popup grow in size, but it seems that's not working for you. Try a simple:
Layout.preferredHeight: units.gridUnit * 40

to double the height of the popup.

To test your changes, run `killall plasmashell; kstart5 plasmashell` to reload the panel (or relog).

Very nice. But I prefer my completed tasks to be still visible (strikethrough). Would be great (IMHO) if the checkbox would not delete the task but crosses it out. Maybe you could add an according option which crosses out instead of deleting and at the same time adds a trash button at the right side of the task to delete it?

v11 has a strikethrough + fade option for completed items. You'll still need to disable "delete on complete" to see those effects though.

Report

Strikethrough is relatively easy: https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-todolist/issues/9

There's already an option to not "delete on complete" that'll add a "hidden" delete button that appears when you hover the delete button or focus on a specific task.

Thank you. The task counter works for me as the tray icon is dark on a dark theme. Wouldn't be able to find it otherwise. I especially like the delete on completion option as it matches my workflow. Very useful indeed.

I suggest, in the next version, an option to deactivate the task counter of the icon, or to be able to choose the color of the circle to adapt it to each desktop theme.

This was the first desktop widget I gave the transparent background, I added the ability to toggle the "background" in later widgets but it seems I never added the config option to this widget.

Is your issue that the "List Title" is hard to read? Or is it that the list item textboxes are hard to read?

In any case, I'll be adding 3 new toggles to v9. List title boldness, list title outline, and a toggle for the background.

Oh that's great! It's the whole thing really. Both the list item and the title are hard to read if you have a light wallpaper and white text. This should fix the problem then.

Running into the following error.

"Error loading QML file: file:///home/brian/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.todolist/contents/ui/main.qml:10:5: Type NoteItem unavailable
file:///home/brian/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.todolist/contents/ui/NoteItem.qml:11:1: module "org.kde.plasma.private.notes" is not installed"

I googled it and apparently this is from a lack of the kdeplasma-addons but I can't seem to actually find a command that will find the packages to install them...

The Widget's description mentions this, and has a command to install it.

If you're using Kubuntu, or KDE Neon, use:
sudo apt install kdeplasma-addons

Then relog (to restart plasmashell) and TodoList should work.

Oh right, kdeplasma-addons was broken up into separate packages. You want to install the plasma-widgets-addons package probably.

There are very few Plasma widgets I personally find genuinely useful enough to actually keep on my desktop for long. Most of the time I only have a folderview or two, until now. TodoList, being a todo-list, is obviously useful, and it's so simple and elegant that it has very quickly become a permanent resident on my desktop. :)
