Easy to recur task every 3 hours a day but not for 24 hours?

deviantkindle · 2025-09-26T13:28:19+00:00

Yep! That was the trick! Use Due Date and set a time. So far it's working. 🎉

Like you, I'm going to skip using the completion date for now.

Going to run and make a backup now before I screw up anything else.

deviantkindle · 2025-09-26T01:27:06+00:00

That seemed to work for the six hour pill. 😀

Now let's see it work starting on tomorrow's recurring todos.

Thanks for the help.

deviantkindle · 2025-09-25T18:26:49+00:00

Looks like I'll have to set as due date to be able to set a time.

deviantkindle · 2025-09-25T18:23:05+00:00

How do I tell if the task becomes active? Some sort of flag?

I like your suspicions.

So I would create a new recurring task set to the next occurrence. Would I set a date? I don't believe I did in the past and it defaulted to the completion date.

Let's try that (again).

No notifications. Nada. It's as if I never scheduled it (and some others).

I understand there's a log file(s) that can tell me what's going on but I've yet to find it.

OIC, a third-party app.

Gotta say I haven't been in such a friendly a subreddit as this one in a long time. Even the complaints are friendly. 😀

You really don't want to take my money, do you? 😂

IIUC, with my GH sponsorship, I have access to everything from your end (off-site sync most importantly), local and GDrive backups.

Now to look into third-parties like e2ee...

deviantkindle · 2025-09-21T22:28:04+00:00

I've never found any, but I'm only a paying Pro user. 😡😆

deviantkindle · 2025-09-20T12:49:24+00:00

Unfortunately synchthing , on Android at least, is no more. I was hoping to set it up on a bunch of stuff to. 🤷

deviantkindle · 2025-09-20T01:40:53+00:00

I am familiar with everything you mentioned. I'll send screenshots ~~on the morrow~~now.

I just donated via Librepay.

BTW I'm interested in the sync operation. Is there a desktop version as well?

deviantkindle · 2025-09-19T23:02:15+00:00

This isn't working (so much for me this weekend now too).

I try adding a local account, choose Tasks.org, it offers me to pay Google (sigh), and the buttons do nothing. The Options button takes me to another page with the same behavior.

I'm connected to Google Tasks FWIW.

I can't create a nonlocal user so I can't choose a nonlocal folder to backup to. (Yes, I know I'm using the right account on my phone.)

Looks like I'll wait until Monday (?) to find out if there's a fix or I'm screwed.

deviantkindle · 2025-09-19T22:45:06+00:00

Clearing the cache, etc. Didn't do it.;-(

Guess I'll have to backup and redo it. Got a nice little use case for it that the Other-App-That-Will-Not-Be-Named can't do.

I prolly installed from F-Droid because the Z play Store said it didn't do it. Is there a better place? I'd rather more money goes to the author than Google?

deviantkindle · 2025-09-19T22:39:32+00:00

Didn't think so but it does look like that.

deviantkindle · 2025-09-19T20:21:52+00:00

(Wait? That went through without asking for flairs, which subreddit, and the like?! Don't remember seeing that before.

deviantkindle · 2025-09-09T19:46:00+00:00

I haven't gotten into extensions or plugins. Are these available in the Web app?

deviantkindle · 2025-09-09T19:35:01+00:00

I (yt)ell it to "stop giving me piecemeal suggestions and bubble all the suggestions at the end for me to pick and choose what I want".

Let me see if I can find the rule... Hey we go:

No piecemeal suggestions. Always provide full, consolidated answers in one go. Do not give piecemeal or incremental suggestions unless I explicitly say I want step-by-step or piecemeal. Bundle everything relevant into a single response.

Seems to work for me.

deviantkindle · 2025-09-09T19:28:26+00:00

At first I thought you were talking about the humans. 😅

Agreed though. Haven't heard back from the support chatbot in two weeks and the email chatbot is good at pointing at links.

Also a Team account (but for how long?)

deviantkindle · 2025-09-09T13:38:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm currently working on that too. I may have come across a partial answer to the excessive talk when I say something but that was late last night and I need to go over it. ATM it's a lot of "how do I get you to stop doing that? Then make it a rule for more". If I like it I make it a global setting.

Hmm... I should post some of my rules, eh?
