Reminder function. Installation unique?

Post by dwk789 » Tue Aug 13, 2024 6:29 pm

Hello,

A question regarding task reminder function.

I have 2 'To Do List' installations. One on my work PC. One on my home PC.
They share one .tdl file on the works OneDrive.

Each installation only shows reminders that were created in that particular installation, ie create a reminder with my works PC and it can't be seen when I view the file on my home PC. It can only be seen on the works PC. The reverse is true to.

What am I missing?

Thank you,

David.

Hi David

Reminders are stored in the 'ToDoList.ini' file to allow multiple users sharing one tasklist to have their own reminders.

So you'll need to share that file too.

Thank you for the reply. It makes sense.

I can probably manage with just one To Do List installation but if I did want to share one .ini file between 2 installations how would I do it?

It seems too simple to copy one .ini file and put it next to the .tdl file to be shared by 2 To Do List installations.

To make this work, you need to start TDL from a Windows shortcut, and append the path to the ini file to the command line:

Code: Select all


C:\<path to installation folder>\ToDoList.exe -i "<path to tasklist folder>\ToDoList.ini"

Let me know if you have any problems.

OK. I'll have a try at this next week.

Thank you,
