UGH! Subtasks and exporting to an email

doesn't work.

What I need:

Copy and paste my work tasks for my boss into an outlook office email.

Key Points:

- Gmail is blocked at my office and so is Google tasks. This is common for a lot of businesses.

- As an ex gtasks user, I'm a paying customer with toodledo but I'm missing some of the gtask functionality. I'm used to a export to page or to printer that shows a nice indented subtasks format similar to what you see on workflowy.com I'd use workflowy, but they don't have multiple lists as a feature.

- Print function in toodledo does not render text to a web page first.

- Print outs are small and contain column data. No way to extract this data

- exports are cumbersome. No effecient way to get that data into a indented subtask format like gtasks or workflowy

- even in email export from toodledo, subtasks are lost.

This is pretty frustrating. It's pretty difficult to find an android app that handles subtasks in an indented way and smoothly as the gtasks android app.

Summary:

Need indented subtask functionality for web / doc export, android app, and printing




Google Tasks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into making this possible in some way.

An easy workaround is to just take a screenshot and put it into your email. SnagIt by TechSmith is a great tool for this kind of thing as it pops up a simple editor after you've grabbed the screen so you can trim it down to size.

Not able to manipulate the text that way. I don't exactly like the way toodledo does it's formatting for my print outs or emails

Really, check the workflowy or gtasks format for indented subtask handling.

I like where toodledo is going with it's look, but it would be nice to get it to convert to other useful formats like that.

not being able to export
- subtasks indented like this in text format
- is a real problem for me
you should add it to your todo list
- that was almost a funny ;)
