jogo	Posted Aug 24, 2024 in: Use a batch file to automate backups to Windows PC Score: 1 jogo Posted: Aug 24, 2024 Score: 1 Hi All, FYI, if you want to regularly backup your Toodledo data to a Windows PC, here's how I do it: 1) Create a .BAT file with the following lines: @ECHO OFF REM download XML file of ALL ACCOUNT DATA from the Backup/Restore page start "" https://www.toodledo.com/tools/backup.php REM download CSV file of UNCOMPLETED TASKS from the CSV Import/Export page start "" https://www.toodledo.com/tools/csv.php REM download CSV file of COMPLETED TASKS from the CSV Import/Export page start "" https://www.toodledo.com/tools/csv.php?completed=1 REM pause for the downloads to finish, because the move command won't wait for them timeout 10 /nobreak move "C:\-download folder-\toodledo." "C:\-backup folder-" Note: There are 2 double-quotes after the word "start". 2) Replace -downloads folder- and -backup folder- with the appropriate paths for your PC. Something like "C:\Users\me\Downloads\toodledo." and "C:\Users\me\Documents\TDbackups" 3) Create a task in Windows Task Scheduler to run the batch file at the schedule you choose. There may be more elegant ways to accomplish this, but it works for me. One gripe I have: running it switches the current focus to the right-most Chrome tab and leaves the Downloads list open. Anyone know how to prevent that? Cheers, - John P.S.: This is an update on a post I did many years go, where I didn't include https://. I found that Chrome now won't complete the XML download without it. This message was edited Aug 24, 2024.
jogo	Posted May 20, 2022 in: Revamped web app? Score: 4 jogo Posted: May 20, 2022 Score: 4 Posted by Peter Scott: Please be careful. "Modern" web appearance emphasizes big fonts and lots of whitespace. This would destroy the principal advantage of the task UI, the fitting of dozens of rows with a dozen attributes each on a single screen. I depend on that detail to handle the complexity of many interrelated tasks matching a search. If I wanted Remember The Milk I know where to find it. 100% agree.
jogo	Posted Feb 06, 2022 in: Batch file to download TD files for backing up: How to? Score: 0 jogo Posted: Feb 06, 2022 Score: 0 Posted by snivelyjay: I appreciate the suggestions and now I'm able to make the batch file work. Is there a way to make Firefox download the Toodledo files to a specific folder that is different than the default folder? Further down the same thread there is a post which suggests an additional batch file command to move the 3 files from the default download folder to another folder of your choice.

jogo	Posted Jan 25, 2021 in: Making ToodleDo Backups a Weekly Task Score: 1 jogo Posted: Jan 25, 2021 Score: 1 Posted by Gummiblume: Hi, I did the same. If someone managed to automate this task I would be interested. Kind regards Holger On Windows, you can: 1) Create a batch file that will do the multiple export/backup steps whenever you run it. 2) Then create a task in Windows Task Manager to run the batch file as often as you want.

jogo	Posted Dec 24, 2020 in: TickTick? Sorting? Other Solutions? Score: 0 jogo Posted: Dec 24, 2020 Score: 0 The original poster is "more than worried that ToodleDo will be shut down" and looking for a solid plan B that includes sync on a Windows system. It wouldn't make sense to consider TaskAngel for this unless they are no longer dependent on ToodleDo for Windows sync. I figured either the dependency is going/gone or the OP might not know about it.
jogo	Posted Dec 24, 2020 in: TickTick? Sorting? Other Solutions? Score: 0 jogo Posted: Dec 24, 2020 Score: 0 Regarding the TaskAngel price, the FAQ says "On Windows, there is a one-time free [sic] after a free trial." I assume they mean "fee" :) But more importantly, if you want to sync iOS<>Windows or Windows<>Windows, don't they pass the data through ToodleDo for that? As explained in their Oct 2019 blog post. Is that no longer the case? My apologies if that was already covered somewhere.
jogo	Posted Dec 11, 2020 in: Toodledo Notes Alternatives Score: 0 jogo Posted: Dec 11, 2020 Score: 0 If you have a way to get your notes into Evernote, then maybe you can import from Evernote into OneNote. I have not done this, but OneNote seems to support it. See https://www.onenote.com/import-evernote-to-onenote.
jogo	Posted Nov 25, 2020 in: Hosting Score: 0 jogo Posted: Nov 25, 2020 Score: 0 Posted by Larry3: I and others have come to the conclusion Toodledo is no longer active as a company. From what I've read the beta apps have expired with no word from developer, support tickets unanswered, and no communication from them. I guess the backend server could continue to work for awhile. At least until a server problem or perhaps when it comes time to renew their IP fees at which time no more Toodledo at all. And given the long-time lack of communication, I wouldn't count on getting any warning before being cut off from all data. Today, next week, Jan 1, who knows. I would love for TD to live up to the promises of the new owners, but the writing on the wall hasn't looked good for a long time. Anyone who cares about their data should have a backup plan.

If that's what is affecting you, then you should see normal behavior again within a day or so. Cheers, - John
jogo	Posted Oct 29, 2020 in: ToodleDo Failed, How to Migrate to a New App Score: 1 jogo Posted: Oct 29, 2020 Score: 1 Do you know what you want to migrate them to? You can export the tasks to several file formats. See: https://www.toodledo.com/tools/import_export.php
jogo	Posted Sep 30, 2020 in: sorting tags numerically Score: 1 jogo Posted: Sep 30, 2020 Score: 1 How about using 2-digit numbers for all of them, i.e. 01, 02, 03 ... 09, 10, 11, 12 ... ? If they might go over 99, then use 3-digit numbers, etc. Disclamer: I don't use tags and I didn't verify that this works, but it seems like it should if the tag field is sorted as text. Unless TD removes the leading zeros.
jogo	Posted Jul 17, 2020 in: how to batch delete completed tasks Score: 1 jogo Posted: Jul 17, 2020 Score: 1 (In Toodledo) you can use the search criteria [Checked Off = yes] to select all the completed tasks. Then I assume you can delete them all with the batch edit by turning on the "delete task" selection and pressing "save". I haven't verified this as I don't want to delete my completed tasks. Cheers, - John

Could you share your backup automation system with us? I like having the backups, and am still enjoying Toodledo after several years. I hope the team keeps it going. Happy to share. On a Windows PC, I created a batch file with 3 commands to download the Toodledo backup XML file, and both of the export .CSV files (current and completed tasks.) Then I created a task in Windows Task Manager to run the batch file every day. I can share more details later after I get to my home computer where it is set up. This message was edited Sep 13, 2019.
jogo	Posted Sep 13, 2019 in: Toodledo iPhone App Beta Testers Score: 1 jogo Posted: Sep 13, 2019 Score: 1 Posted by thiobk02: Can someone guide me on how they export to other iOS apps? Really lost faith in Aaron and co. Had high hopes last year but severely deflated now. One iOS app you could try, from my testing of bailout options in case Toodledo folds, is Remember the Milk. It will import tasks from the Toodledo backup file. I understand your deflation. It's unfortunate the way things have played out. I'm staying with Toodledo for now, but have automated a daily backup just in case.

I hope I never need them. Daily backups are a smart move. I really, really do hope Toodledo survives; I want to keep using it. But there's far too much writing on the wall to ignore.
