The return of TaskPaper
November 14th, 2011 at 8:05 am by Dr. Drang
Several months ago, I got so sick of TaskPaper asking me for my password so it could sync that I stopped using it entirely and went back to keeping my to-do lists in Markdown files synced via Dropbox. On Halloween, a new version of TaskPaper came out that—finally!—drops the homemade syncing system and uses Dropbox…
TaskPaper update

A couple of months ago, I complained about TaskPaper’s handling of the user’s password when syncing. The problem was that TaskPaper wouldn’t allow me to paste my Google ID from 1Password into the password field of the dialog box. I later changed my Google password from a 1Password-generated random string to something I could remember…

Last week, I got really mad at TaskPaper and stopped using it. Over a two day period, it forced me to enter my long and complicated (generated by 1Password) Google password on three different devices: iMac, iBook, and iPhone. iQuit! iShouted.

Geez, it’s been a while since I last posted an original script here, so let’s fix that. One of the things I miss about OmniFocus is its ability to hide tasks until a given date. The advantage of being able to do this is that you can add the task when it comes to you,…
TaskPaper printing

I’m finally giving TaskPaper a fair tryout. I first got it as part of the MacHeist 2 bundle, and although it had many features I liked, I wasn’t ready to replace my LGTD TextMate bundle, which is mostly described here. Then I moved on to OmniFocus and left TaskPaper sitting in my Applications folder, unused.…
