Beta testers wanted - 'undo' in ::Tasks
-
Generally when you work with task list in ::Tasks any action you do is instant and irreversible. Occasionally users would like to be able to undo their previous action (e.g. change title, task delete), etc. So, we are working on this functionality, it is almost done now. Due to the fact that ::Tasks is multi-user collaborative environment, with realtime synchronization, a number of corner cases need to be solved. For example, if you modify title of some task, but your co-worker delete some parent task, both parent and the item you just modified will disappear from your screen. Pressing 'undo' in such moment need to be handled gracefully as well. Anyway, I'll enable the feature for your account, if you'll have some time to play with it, we'd appreciate the feedback. If you won't manage to do it, no problem - no harm done ;)
I will try my best :-D

We are finishing implementation of 'undo' feature in ::Tasks, which we believe will significantly increase ease of use of the app. Feature is almost ready, and we would like to invite few users to test it out with us, and hopefully provide some feedback. Anyone would like to try? Let me know and we'll enable the feature on your account immediately.
Obviously me!

Thanks in advance ;) Anyway, if you enter to ::Tasks now you should already see 2 new icons on its toolbar.
I can't see new icons... I tried to delete some tasks in one of my ::Tasks and got a warning, that this action can not bu undone!

Are you sure that you do not see the new icons? I've double and triple checked, you should see them. To be clear, I'm talking about those: undo icons[^]. If you still cannot see them, please try logging out and back in, although that should not be necessary. As for this 'cannot be undone' message, it is a nice finding, actually. This message was like this since the beginning, as delete was never undoable in ::Tasks. We added undo, but did not updated the message yet.

I think you had this enabled for some time already ;)

I did a logout-login and a cache clean and now I can see the icons :thumbsup:. I also checked two things: 1. Delete a task - undo restored id 2. Changed the status - undo restored it Was able also to 'redo' the actions...

Great, thanks for confirmation. Weren't those icons visible before you logged out? Once I turned on the flag for you it should be visible after next page load. I'll keep an eye on this behavior.

No. But consider that I checked it from office (and not home), where I sit behind an enormous instrumentation, that try to keep bad things out...

Indeed, yesterday we've moved them to 'Activity' dropdown menu. Sorry for confusion.

OT - Do you remember the talks (Me and Marco) about an API to ::Tasks, that can enable us to develop some plugin for our environments?

I do. API is a big thing in our roadmap, I haven't forgotten, trust me ;) In meantime we wanted to take care about other topics, but slowly API is emerging to be closer and closer to top of our TODO list (which is measured in hundreds of items :) ). I can't promise any deadlines now, but the general message is that API support (not only for ::Tasks, but for all involved parts) is way closer now than it was during previous talks. And once we will have something ready to be shown, I'll definitely call for a beta testers. Most likely I'll also split the efforts into two parts, first of which will end up with some preliminary specs which can be discussed with community. Either way, stay tuned ;) Sorry for it to take so long, but we're getting there.

Chris said something about this summer.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

IIRC he mentioned that it may become later. A lot later :laugh: I'm in the Army from July to December, so I don't really mind if it gets later :^)

Since this topic is important to you guys, I think we can start some discussions about use cases, our approach to this etc. I'll setup another thread on this forum, will describe what we have etc., asking to provide some use cases and/or other insights.
