Posted Jan 25, 2011 in: Relative column widths?
Score: 0

I use TD on both a laptop and a desktop with a much wider screen (resolution-wise). So I find myself continually adjusting columns when I go back and forth, because on the laptop, columns will scroll off the screen. It seems the options are:

1. Keep manually changing back and forth (I usually do this).
2. Live with scrolling left and right on the laptop (I do this if I'm lazy).
3. Abandon part of my screen real estate on the desktop (I can't bring myself to do this with all my space).

It would be great if there could be a setting to always adjust widths to fill the screen width and preserve relative column widths. Or keep most widths static and make the task name change. I'm guessing that this is harder that it seems, but I thought I would throw the idea out there.

Does anyone know if a user style or something that can accomplish this for me?

Thanks.

Is that any different from "every two weeks"?

When I try to enter "every other week" it just comes out as "Every 1 week". I can enter "every 2 weeks", but from my first two examples this doesn't do exactly what I want.

Hi,

I just transferred over from RTM and have been very happy with TD's customization. However, I'm trying to figure out how to replicate a repeat option from RTM.

I have "clean bathroom" setup to repeat on RTM "after 2nd Sunday". What this does is repeat on the 2nd Sunday from task completion. So in my case, I was supposed to clean the bathroom on Sunday, but didn't get to it until today. I don't need to clean the bathroom for another two weeks, but I want it to happen on Sunday. So in RTM, when I mark it complete, it repeats on 9/12/2010, which is what I want.

It seems that in TD, I have a few options to approach this:

1. Set it to every two weeks from due date. This is not ideal, because sometimes I might take a week and a half to get around to it. So if I clean on 9/8/2010, when it was due on 8/29, the new task is for 9/12, which is only a few days in the future and the bathroom won't need cleaning.

2. Set it to every two weeks from completion. This is a little better, but now if I clean on 9/8, it gets set to 9/22, a Wednesday, when I would prefer to clean on Sunday. So on Wednesday, when this shows up on my radar, I have to manually change it to Sunday. Not a big deal.

3. Almost what I want. I can set it to "every Sunday" repeating from completion. But this still requires me to move it forward a week when it comes up, because I clean every two weeks.

It seems that an "Every 2nd Sunday" option would be perfect. It's not a big deal and certainly not enough to go back to RTM. But please let me know if I can do this in TD and if not I hope you can put it on your radar to think about. It's not too different from the option you already have.

Thanks.
