Keep your tasks easily sorted

Description

Bitacora is a scheduler.

I have proved a lot of schedulers: some of them too complex (Microsoft Project, dash board process); other are too simple (gtodo); too rare (emacs-todo, tdl, tudu, tda); abandoned (qtodo); not easy portable (todolist); ...

None of them has all what I need.

The program I liked more was "todolist", by Abstract Spoon. Despite it has some problems: It is not portable. The XML format is not a formal XML. It has some important errors, although the programmer fix some of them very often.

All these problems invited me to write my own application.

Features

Main features are:

• It must work on GNU/Linux and (reasonably well) on Windows.
• Data must be saved on a valid XML format.
• Data must be easyly compared between two versions in a repository (such as CVS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial, ...)
• It must be very easy of using.
• Task should be maintained hierarchicaly.
• Easy of configure (not yet).
• Filters are one of the more importants things. They are very flexible.
• Things you doesn't use every days must be hidden.

Manual

Sorry, but I have no time to be writen more documentation. Here you are the basics:

Introduction

The first thing you have to know is the screen distribution. Main part has a table (like ToDoList of Abstract Spoon), with all data you need about your tasks.

At right margin you can see the "Description" and "Comments" for current selected Tasks. At bottom, the tables editor expander and at top, the filters editor expander.

Tables editor

You can edit values for all comboboxes from these tables. When all data is set, you doesn't usually need to edit it.

Filters

You can configure a lot of filters, and activate only some of them.

Each filter can contain a lot of rules.

Final

Well... I wrote Bitacora because I needed it. If it can help you, fine!; if it cannot, please, tell me what you need and I will study your proposal. Maybe you want to write your improvements: help is welcome.

Thank you for using Bitacora and your feedback.
