GTD Tracks blog: New Features

New Features

GTDTracks was successfully upgraded last night to the latest Tracks source. With it has brought new features like tagging and personal timezone settings. It has also brought some small changes in the way you may be used to entering data that should be pointed out:

When you add a new action, the Context and Project fields are now auto-complete fields which means that once you start typing your context or project name, it will display a list of options matching what you’re typing. This differs from the previous version which had standard drop down select lists.
The Show from field is now available when you create your actions, allowing you to create a tickler item even from the main actions page.

It does appear that any tickler items you had created prior to last night’s upgrade will now be visible in your main actions list. To get these back to the tickler and off your inbox you can simply edit and update the tickler items (without making any changes) to get them back where they belong.

Please let us know if you have any other issues with the upgrade!

I strongly dislike the auto complete context menu. It adds an extra and unnecessary step to the process and generally makes me avoid adding things quickly. I mean how many contexts do people really need? I suppose there is no way to revert back, but maybe they could be an option for dropdown or autocomplete.

Very useful new features. Hope you are fixing the feeds, none of them work anymore.

Just seen the tags “appear” and my tickler list emerge. Good to see the ongoing development Ryan!
