ToDoList v6

A window appears when To Do List first starts asking whether to keep the settings in the Registry or a file in the To Do List folder. The latter option means that it can be used as portable app on a USB key. There is also an option to share tasks over a network. This setting can be changed later if required.

The next step is to select the various columns that will be displayed when To Do List starts. Again this can be adjusted later but it helps to keep life simple. This is also the first hint at the capabilities of To Do List.

There are no fewer than 28 columns that can be displayed, information that is not selected can be hidden to reduce complexity and there are sample tasks that can be loaded.

One of the good things about To Do List is that tasks can be sub-divided as many times as you want and then the view can be collapsed to show an overview.

Colours and priorities can be assigned to tasks as well as time estimates and the actual time spent on a job.

Rather than starting completely from scratch, To Do List can import lists of tasks from Microsoft Outlook, GanttProject, Freemind and My Life Organised.

Tasklists can be exported as web pages, CSV or iCalendar files.
