Title: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 1.1.3
Post by: phitsc on September 24, 2008, 09:37 AM
Description
The FARR Remember The Milk Plugin (FarrMilk) allows you to access your Remember the Milk (RTM) tasks and lists using Find and Run Robot (FARR). A lot of what you can do via the RTM web interface you can do with FarrMilk.

Check out these two video demos (of preliminary versions) to get an idea of what FarrMilk is: Demo 1 (http://farrmilk.objecttechnology.com/FarrMilk2.avi), Demo 2 (http://farrmilk.objecttechnology.com/FarrMilk3.avi)

What you can and can't do with FarrMilk
Can:

Can't:

Download & Install
Download the FarrMilk installer from here (http://farrplugins.objecttechnology.com/farrmilk/FarrMilkSetup.exe) then double-click FarrMilkSetup.exe to start the installation. I've tested the installer on both Windows XP and Windows 7 32-bit. If you'd rather install the plugin manually, you can download it from here (http://farrplugins.objecttechnology.com/farrmilk/FarrMilk.zip), then unzip it into the FARR plugins directory (usually C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins) and restart FARR.

Getting started
Before you can use FarrMilk you'll have to authorise the plugin to manipulate your RTM account. To do this, open FARR and type rtm, a web browser will open asking you to log into your RTM account. After logging in, press the [OK, I'll allow it] button. Then switch back to the FARR window (which should still be open in the background. If it isn't you probably have set FARR to hide when focus is lost in the Window Mode / Focus settings. Change that to Ignore until authorisation is complete) and hit enter. After a short delay in which your tasks and lists are downloaded you should see the FarrMilk main menu and are ready to go!

Next, type rtm <Enter> to show a list of your tasks or rtm help to learn about the details of using FarrMilk.

All feedback is welcome. Not only about the plugin, but also about the help file.

FEP (frequently encountered problems)
ProblemSolution
When using both FarrMilk and the GooglePlus plugin (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=14157.0) GooglePlus' options window pops up every time you enter GPIf you are running GooglePlus v1.1 or lower replace GooglePlus' fscript.js file with this one (http://stuff.objecttechnology.com/GooglePlus_fscript.zip)
FarrMilk crashes when you try to select an itemIf you are running any FScript-based plugins make sure they are all using FScript.dll 1.16 or newer (get it from here (http://e.craft.free.fr/farr/FScript/))

Version history
1.1.3 - 7. November 2011

1.1.2 - 10. November 2010

1.1.1 - 6. January 2010

1.1.0 - 12. May 2009

Spoiler
1.0.0 - 4. April 2009
  • Added more useful error message in case FarrMilk can't connect to the RTM server
  • Added proxy support (can be set in the Options window)
  • Reversed order of how task properties are specified for sorting in Options window (It's more logical now, but you need to manually update your sorting order!)
  • Priority, tags and list can now be specified in a dialog when adding a task (see 'Adding a task' in help file)

0.4.5 - 8. January 2009
- Added RTM API call throttling to keep requests to 1 request per second

0.4.4 - 14. December 2008
- Fixed bug "can't authenticate after a fresh install of FarrMilk"

0.4.3 - 13. December 2008
- FarrMilk now uses the api endpoint instead of the www endpoint (as was recently suggested by Remember The Milk)

0.4.2 - 10. December 2008
- Fixed bug "can't get the list of tasks from a list with a space in it"
- Store FarrMilk.ini in user's application data directory instead of FarrMilk plugin directory

0.4.0
- The selected task's add date and modified or completed date are now displayed in the status bar
- The selected note's add date and modified date are now displayed in the status bar
- It's now possible to add a new note when a task's existing notes are displayed
- Tasks can now be sorted by date modified (/sm, use /sm- to see most recently modified)
- Renamed sort names /sort:add to /sort:added and /sort:complete to /sort:completed
- When viewing a task's properties, notes or command list pressing Alt+Left (or Ctrl+Backspace) should now always take you back to the last task search if that was done with the tasks or t command

0.3.0 - 13. October 2008
- Added 'Change note of task' to task command list

0.2.0 - 4. October 2008
- Made tasks command more powerful and more intuitive. Instead of showing properties on Enter a command list is now shown. Hitting Shift+Enter will show properties by default but can be configured to complete or postpone the selected task.
- Added change properties command
- Added tasks, lists and tags commands to command auto completion list
- Auto completion list is now sorted according to most likely frequency of use (e.g. add task before add list)
- Completed tasks can now be shown by adding the /completed or /c switch. The switch only applies to the tasks and delete task commands and is always in effect on the uncomplete task command.
- Filtering down to one single task will no longer show the respective task's properties. Instead it will just show as a single task item in the result list. Likewise for the edit note and delete note commands.
- It's now possible to omit display of the list name if the list is Inbox (which is the RTM default list)
- Changed del (power user command to delete a task) to d
- Updated Getting started, Commands and Displaying tasks in the help file

0.1.0 - 29. September 2008
- Changed plugin name to FarrMilk
- trying yet another libcurl DLL (with hopefully better luck this time)

0.0.3 - 28. September 2008
- Fixed wrong processing of notes
- Added Basic concept of operation and Some examples to Getting started help topic
- Added Editing notes help topic

0.0.2
- Added rename list command to help file (the command was already implemented in 0.0.1)
- Changed archive list power user command to cl (from rl, which is used for rename list)
- Added /showall to help file
- changed libcurl DLL to a version without SSL support making the plugin package size smaller

0.0.1 - 24. September 2008
- First release.

Absolutely amazing.  Seriously this may be the best looking and coolest plugin yet made for FARR.
Even the help is insanely cool:

Very nice work! I would like it, though, if the default choice for both 'add' and 'delete' would be 'task' and not list. I know it's sorted alphabetically but it doesn't make so much sense as you would want to add and delete tasks so many more times than you would add or delete lists.
Title: Re: New plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.0.1
Post by: phitsc on September 24, 2008, 02:59 PM
Thanks mouser!

The help file is still missing loads of information though, e.g. the options dialog is completely missing. Also other stuff, it was just too much to describe it all in one go. I'll certainly add to it. One important thing missing is: you can add /a or /sall or /showall when displaying tasks or lists to switch to FARR's small icon view. Well, with only two tasks it's not a problem yet, hahaha.

Yes, I thought about that as well when implementing it. And I actually agree. It's mainly lack of time that made me do it differently, alphabetically was just so much simpler. I'll go add that to the todo list right away though ;)

Post by: mouser on September 24, 2008, 03:35 PM
the one thing that confused me a little was that i expected i could select a task, and THEN choose to delete or mark as complete.

i eventually figured out that i had to go to main menu and choose delete then select the project.  it might be nice if there was a way to do those operations from viewing a task.

I completely agree! And I was planning to implement that as soon as plugins can customize the context menu (for mouse operation. as requested here (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=11484.0)) as well as receive per item hot keys (was requested somewhere else I think, maybe in a different context). For example, as a plugin I would like to get notified when a button is pressed (e.g. DEL to delete a task) together with the information on which item the button was pressed.

As for completing a task, you can already do that now, by hitting Shift+Enter on as task when it's displayed with 'rtm tasks'. Or you can choose to postpone the task instead (can be changed in the options dialog).

But in general your discovery is correct. You first have to say what you want to do, e.g.
- rtm add task (or a for short)
- rtm complete task (c)
- rtm rename task (ren)
- rtm delete task (del)
etc.
this will always give you a list of ALL tasks. Then you choose with which task to want to do that by applying filters, e.g. typing some characters of its name, or (additionally) add /list=blah to filter for tasks of a specific list, or (additionally) by adding /p2 to filter for tasks with priority 2 only, etc. And you can apply different sortings to make it easier for you to find the task you want to do something with.

I think once you understand this basic concept: First choose what you want to do then filter with what you know about the task you want until you find it, the plugin allows very fast and powerful manipulation of RTM tasks. Obviously it would be cool to have the other possibility as well (i.e. filter first, then choose what to do).

Concerning this: if you're too lazy to type 'rtm add t' + Enter (and I mean the positive kind of laziness here) you can use power user mode (read Modes of Operation in the help file) instead and just type 'rtm a' + Space. Your point is still valid though, and the way I thought I was going to do this back then was to always put the last action selected as the first result item and help at the end (that's now already the case) and sort the rest in between.

Please delete your old FarrRmilk plugin directory first, as the new version doesn't need that dll you mention any more, so just unzipping into the existing directory won't remove the file.

Anyone else having justice's problem and can confirm that http://farrrmilk.objecttechnology.com/FarrRmilk_0.0.2.zip does or does not fix the problem?

This is on an XP machine. I also tried 0.2 (not 0.1) at work on my vista machine and I get the same error message.  I get it when my tasks are loaded. Internet Explorer is NOT my default browser on both systems, in case this matters. The last two errors only occured the second time i tried it (probably because i took longer to click ok) and when not clicking on the OK button repeat themselves after about 4-5 seconds. After I closed all errors then farr crashes. I unticked all plugins from the plugins part of the preferences.

Are there any error logs somewhere that I can attach?

Post by: phitsc on September 27, 2008, 09:33 AM
Hm, that could become a tough one. I've successfully run FarrRmilk on a Vista and an XP SP3 installation myself. I also just set up a clean Windows XP SP1 Home installation, installed nothing but FARR and FarrRmilk and it's working flawlessly. I'll let that fresh installation update itself now (I guess it will be SP3 in the end) and check again then. I'll also add some error logging that might help track down the problem. Thanks for your help anyway.

Hi,
great plugin ;) I like the idea of using list mode :Thmbsup: I have to start using it as well ;)

Just one think. When I tried to link my RTM I was not able, since I have set "Window mode/focus => Hide when focus is lost", so always when it redirected me to webpage, FARR lost focus and I was not complete linking.

Hi Grorgy

Posts like yours are important for me (and other plugin writers I guess) for at least two reasons:
Firstly, knowing how many people use a piece of software, or at least that it is being used, gives a feeling about the plugins stability, i.e. if you don't get any bug reports it could be because there are no bugs or it could just as well be because no one's using it. And secondly: I've invested a considerable amount of my spare time implementing this plugin. Already now it probably does much more than I will ever use. The question is simply if it's worth spending any more time on it.

Thanks czechboy! Yes, list mode is a very powerful view mode because it allows for user interaction, and in a way FARR users (or of other launchers for that matter) are used to.

Concerning that option you mention: thanks for reporting that. Reminds me of the fact that I wanted to ask mouser to add the possibility for plugins to query (and possibly even modify) FARR settings. Meanwhile (or until I can think of an other way to fix that problem) I'll add it to the FARR options requirements in the FarrRmilk help file.

Just tried 0.0.3 but after loging in to rtm and saying "Yes" the website tells me:

"Uh oh... something went wrong. Don't worry though; it's not your fault. The application you're using to interact with Remember The Milk made an error. It might be worthwhile contacting the author of the application and telling them you encountered this page.

Alternatively, you might like to wait a little while and then try again."

Any ideas, what might be wrong?

The only time I ever saw this was when I tried to make FarrRmilk connect to RTM via https instead of http. I doubt that helps you much though. I'll have to investigate...

ps.
Is it just me or is phitsc trying to compete with me in a contest of who can do the worst job of naming their software?  May i suggest that trying to pronounce "FarrRMillk" is reminiscent of reciting poetry while eating peanut butter..  How about changing the name while you still have time, before it gets too popular.  I suggest something simple like: "FarrMilk".  Kind of sounds like a science fiction energy drink of the future.

Oh, how did they find out so fast? I had hoped to keep it in this room until I'm at least at version 0.1.0 ;)

Title: Re: New plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.1.0
Post by: phitsc on September 29, 2008, 04:45 PM
I have uploaded version 0.1.0 now. This version has only two changes:
- On mouser's suggestion, I changed the name from FarrRmilk to FarrMilk. And mouser, I used your slogan as a subtitle in the help file (I hope you don't mind)
- I replaced the libcurl DLL with yet another version. The other one was giving me problems on my work PC and that's where I use the plugin most ;) One day, when I'm grown up, I'll compile my very own libcurl DLL!

Please note that I'm going the easy way with renaming and don't try to keep the updater compatible with version 0.0.3. I hope you guys forgive me that updating to 0.1.0 will need some handiwork. Do the following:
- Quit FARR
- Open a windows explorer and go to c:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins (if you installed to the default directory)
- Delete the directory FarrRmilk
- Then install the new version 0.1.0 as it says in the first post
- Restart FARR

You'll lose your options. But there aren't that many anyway.

If anyone has problems with this libcurl DLL (you would notice right on startup, i.e. the first time you type rtm), please report here or write me a PM/email!

Thanks.

Actually, you don't need to Quit FARR. Just type 'goreload' (a message box appears, don't click yet) then delete FarrRMilk dir and unzip the new FarrMilk to Plugins/FarrMilk dir, and click OK in the FARR message box. Voilà!

Btw, phitsc, new version seems to work just fine :)

Something that annoys me a little bit is that the task list is not the same for 1 task vs. more tasks. With more tasks, it's a simple short list. If you have only 1 task, however, the list suddenly shows all the details about this 1 task (instead of having to select it and press enter). It's not consistent and I think don't really like it :) I like just seeing the title I gave it in the first place, I never add details anyway.

Yes, it's a valid point. I'm working on mouser's suggestion now, changing the behaviour of the tasks command to show an action list on hitting Enter on the selected task instead of showing its properties (which will then be an item in the action list). With this, I will also resolve the current inconsistency between the handling of incomplete and completed tasks (there's currently no way for example to delete a completed task). Obviously, if filtering down to one task would already show the task's properties, there would be no way of getting to the action list anymore. Nevertheless, you should still think about adding some details to your tasks to pep them up a bit ;)

Just another thing I thought about; as I (and maybe more of us) only use rtm as-if it was a (physical) todo list - so without details -, I'd like it to have an option to disable the display of all the details on the task page. This way, it allows the task title to be bigger and take up more space and it looks a bit cleaner. I really do not need to reed the tasks are in my inbox and have no due date 10 times :)

If you mean the tasks command (what you get when you just type 'rtm+Enter') then type 'rtm options+Enter' and tick 'Only show used task properties' and 'Omit priority' (that's actually the settings I use myself, they are not the default though). Doing this you get rid of all but the list.

What you mean with

you'll have to explain though.

Ah I didn't tick 'only show used task properties', that helped already. But now the only thing remaining is "List: Inbox", which I really couldn't care less about. My point was that if "List: Inbox" would also be removed, the title could take up more (vertical) space, like in these screens:

The new workflow of selecting a task and then choosing what to do is soo much more intuitive to me.. love it.  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

Huge improvement on an already amazing plugin.

ps.
By the way for people who dont know about the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Backspace, FarrMilk is the ideal place to use it -- it removes the last word on in the search box, which for FarrMilk almost always is like a back button.  :up:

Excellent update phitsc! I like you can now only show the title. Still a minor thing; now that the whole bottom line (which can contain priority, due date etc) is empty I think it makes sense to use a bigger font size for the title like in the screenshots I posted :)

Great work  :-*

Don't know if that's possible. I only tell FARR what to display. Displaying the items is done by FARR.

Post by: phitsc on October 07, 2008, 12:09 PM
I get this message when i try to allow FARR to access my rtm. How can I fix this?

I've found a way to reproduce this. Could you please check if this is what might have happened?

When you type rtm for the first time, two things happen:
1. FARR shows a single result which is 'Grant Access Permission'
2. A web browser opens asking you to log into your RTM account, and if you did that, presenting you a page with an 'OK, I'll allow it' button on it.

What you have to do now is:
1. Press the 'OK, I'll allow it button' first. And only after you did that:
2. Select 'Grant Access Permission' in FARR and hit Enter

If you do it the other way round, i.e. select 'Grant Access Permission' first, in which case the status bar will read 'Granting access failed', and then hit the 'OK, I'll allow it' button, you'll get that 'API issue' page.

I also got that very same page when I was experimenting with accessing RTM via https instead of http (with the API), so I guess there are other scenarios that lead to the same error page.

Hi differentspin

Update to version 0.3.0 which I have uploaded just now. It adds a 'Change note of task' menu item to the task command list (where you are with rtm tasks /id:blah). This will allow you to view and edit notes but not to add notes at the moment.

Nope, nothing else. A bit extreme to name it 0.3.0 for just two lines of code, I know ;)

I'll add the possibility to add a note from the view/change notes result list.

I find this plugin really helpful and am happy with the way it functions now, but here are a couple of suggestions:

- when you find a task I think it would be better if it showed the task details by default and then gave you the options to edit, complete, etc. I would think that people would be viewing the tasks more frequently than editing them.
- it would be nice if it would be possible to easily get back to your last task search after viewing or editing a particular task (perhaps there is already a way to do this).
- similarly it would be helpful to be able to easily get back to a task details after navigating to the "change properties' or 'change notes' areas for a particular task.

Thanks!

You can press Shift+Enter instead of Enter to show a tasks properties instead of the task command list (if this is what you have set in the options). There's no way to complete, postpone, etc. a task from viewing its properties though.

- it would be nice if it would be possible to easily get back to your last task search after viewing or editing a particular task (perhaps there is already a way to do this).
- similarly it would be helpful to be able to easily get back to a task details after navigating to the "change properties' or 'change notes' areas for a particular task.
Pressing Alt+Left will remove the last word in the search box and I tried to use this to take you back an 'operational step' in FarrMilk wherever possible. I admit that it's not optimal how it is at the moment. It only works as one would expect when using the menu mode. I'll try to improve it if I can.

Apart from the fact that FARR is an excellent launcher and a cool application for being extended, I think one of the reasons why there are so many great plugins for FARR (not to mention the very cool WSH and C# SDKs) is because you're such a good motivator.  :Thmbsup:

I found a minor bug:

I can't get the list of tasks from a smart list with a space in it. For example, I have a smart list titled "Due Today". When I type "rtm lists", it sees the smart list, but when I click on it, it shows 0 tasks.

There is, obviously, a very easy workaround. I renamed my smart list to "DueToday", and it works perfectly. So, not a big deal, but I thought I'd report it.
Title: Re: New plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.0
Post by: phitsc on December 10, 2008, 04:04 PM
Thanks khutch for mentioning that you like the plugin, it is really appreciated!

Concerning the bug you found: besides an inconvenience which I should fix in the plugin what you found is actually a bug in the help file :) It's also not restricted to smart lists but to all lists containing spaces.

What happens when you click a list with spaces (e.g. Due Today) in the lists result view is that the search is replaced by: rtm tasks /list:Due Today. The inconvenience is that you currently have to manually put quotes around the list name, i.e. the plugin should actually search like this: rtm tasks /list:"Due Today".

The bug in the help file is that at the end of the first paragraph of chapter Parameters & Switches it reads:
If a parameter name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in a pair of " or ' characters
while this should actually be:
If a parameter value contains spaces, it must be enclosed in a pair of " or ' characters

I'll fix both the inconvenience and the help file :)

FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.2 doesn't seem to be installable right now.  If you are a first time installer, you see the message (XP SP2, OS up to date, IE7 default browser):

Uh oh... something went wrong. Don't worry though; it's not your fault. The application you're using to interact with Remember The Milk made an error. It might be worthwhile contacting the author of the application and telling them you encountered this page.

Alternatively, you might like to wait a little while and then try again.

Hi Pnikosis

I know you've done more or less what I'll describe now, please try it anyway:
- Log into your web rtm account and go to Settings - Services
- Check if the FARR Remember The Milk plugin service is listed there. If it is, delete it by clicking the bin icon
- Open FARR and type goreload to reload the plugins, then click the OK button on the message box that appears
- now type rtm, this should bring you back to the authorisation page
- now click 'OK, I'll allow it'
- go back to FARR and hit Enter

- now check the status bar. if it reads something like 'Loading tasks...' then you're ready to go
- if it reads something else (e.g. service temp. unavailable, just did this when I tried now), retype rtm, this will open the authorisation web page again, click 'Ok, I'll allow it' if necessary (probably it's not), go back to FARR and hit Enter

Also make sure to update to version 0.4.3 of the plugin which I just uploaded. Remember The Milk obviously have a new API endpoint (api.rememberthemilk.com instead of www.rememberthemilk.com) which they now advise to use.
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.3
Post by: phitsc on December 13, 2008, 09:20 AM
Concerning the 0.4.3 release. Apart from changing to the new api endpoint as suggested by RTM I've also 'fixed' a problem that would lead to the 'Uh oh page'. I say 'fixed' instead of fixed, because I've not really fixed anything, I've just changed the way FarrMilk handles an RTM API request that fails (the getFrob request). The getFrob request is needed to generate the authorisation URL. Until now I was using the value returned by that request even when it failed which obviously generated an invalid authorisation URL (which lead to the Uh oh page). If that request fails, I'll now no longer open the authorisation page (because I don't have a valid URL), but show an error message in the FARR status bar instead. This means that you'll probably never see the Uh oh page again. But that won't help you much if you had that problem, because now you'll just see the error message in FARR's status bar instead :(

To make a long story short: if anyone who wanted to use FarrMilk but couldn't because he never managed to actually authorise the service but always got the Uh oh page would mind to try the 0.4.3 release to check if the new endpoint makes any difference that would be cool.

Hi Victor

Thanks for posting.

So when you check under Settings - Services in the rtm web interface, is FARR Remember The Milk plugin listed there?
And when you hit Enter on the Grant Access item when doing the authentication, what does it say in the FARR status bar just after hitting Enter?

Hey phitsc
thanks for the quick response!
yes, FarrMilk does appear in the authenticated list.

The thing is, after I hit enter on the autentification, it tells me "found 1 item in 1 seconds" (so it basically finds the rtm function again and runs it again, it seems) and then another autentification window pops up, this one tellling me that all is correctly autentificated (because it already authentificated as I wrote "rtm".

Hello - First, thanks for making this software a reality.  I certainly appreciate it.

However, it doesn't work for me yet.  Now that version 0.4.4 is out, I can install it, authenticate and load tasks.  But it no matter what I try to do, I can't get it to show any tasks in the lists.  They all read "0 tasks" even though there are plenty in there.  All my lists are loading fine, I've tried it with and without the smart list option, I don't have any smart lists in the system, I can add tasks using this plugin fine, do all sorts of other operations, it's just that the tasks seem to not be listed.  Even tasks that were created by the FARR RTM plugin don't show up.

Things I've tried so far include complete uninstall/reinstall with directory delete in between, rebooting, "rtm reloading", creating new lists for testing, etc.

Can I have the source code so I can fix? :)

Hi sean2078

FarrMilk is not open source. I'll consider making it open source once FARR itself has been open sourced though ;)

Concerning your problem: it sounds weird and I don't have an idea what could go wrong there at the moment. Could you maybe try making a smart list and check if that also doesn't give you any tasks? The reason I would like you to try this is that while for regular lists all tasks are loaded at once, for smart lists I have to load tasks a (smart) list at a time (due to what I consider a bug in the Rmilk API).


If anyone else experiences this problem please let me know.

Thanks phitsc,

I created a new test account and hooked it up / authorized it.  Works fine with the new account.  I am a long standing RTM user with 1000's of tasks (many completed ;)) so I'm thinking that a task or other setting is causing the task sync process to fail.

If there is anything I can do to enable verbose logging so that I can see what it fails on, I would be thankful.  Right now, there's nothing in the plug-in log file.

Thanks again!

Hi Nathan

0.4.4 should have resolved the problem Pnikosis and vjcamarena reported. Are you saying that you have that problem after updating from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4? or do you have the 'Uh oh...' problem now?

Can you try removing the FarrMilk service in the rtm web interface and reauthenticate and if that doesn't help delete the FarrMilk.ini file.

I was using FarrMilk since 0.2 and recently had problems when upgarded to 0.4.4. My tasks are no longer loaded properly and always shows 0 tasks. I was asked multiple times to authorize and the RTM site always used to autorize succesfully.

I just upgraded to 0.4.5 and this problem seems to have gone, i was able to reload tasks on my first attempt itself

Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.5
Post by: phitsc on January 09, 2009, 05:35 AM
Thanks Dinesh for reporting back. It is much appreciated!

It might be that FarrMilk has gotten popular enough for RTM to throttle its use. At least that is what they claim they will do when an API key uses too many of their API service resources. They request to keep server requests to an average of 1 per second (per user of the key, not per key). Both when authenticating as well as when loading tasks FarrMilk has to do several API requests in succession (e.g. getting list of locations, getting list of lists, getting list of tasks). Now I could imagine that while the first two succeeded, the last one (getting list of tasks) was blocked due to the throtteling, which is why FarrMilk gave you a list of lists, but no tasks.

FarrMilk 0.4.5 now makes sure that no more than 1 request per second is made on the RTM service.

There's something wrong with FARRMilk on my end... I keep getting the following error message, no matter which command I choose:
(http://bildr.no/thumb/324699.jpeg) (http://bildr.no/view/324699)

What I do, is I type RTM then get the list of options that I expect, but choosing one of these will throw an exception like the one above.

There may well be a conflict somewhere, so I guess I could go the long route trying to find it, but before I do, I'd like to know if there's something I can do to fix it.

I'm using the latest FARR and FarrMilk 0.4.5.

Hi TucknDar

Did any version of FarrMilk ever work for you? When you say 'a list of options', do you mean you get as far as the screen shot on the first post shows?
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.5
Post by: TucknDar on January 14, 2009, 04:47 AM
hi phitsc

Yes, I get as far as the screenshot shows and yes, FarrMilk used to work. To be honest, I don't remember when exactly it stopped working. I didn't use it very much, but I've been working on a system to get myself more organized and think RTM could be a very good tool to help me with that, so FarrMilk will be very useful.

If you need more info, then by all means, just let me know what I should tell you. My OS is XP home sp2

Did you ever try deleting the FarrMilk.ini file?

This would be in: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\FarrMilk

and maybe you still have an old one in the FarrMilk plugin directory.

Would you guys mind to update to 0.4.5 and check if it makes a difference to your respective problems?

Thanks
Philipp

Awesome!!  Works great now.  Thanks Philipp.  Really appreciate you reading our posts and enhancing the software to support very large, complex list/task sets.

Thanks a ton!

-----------------

On a side note, I have four quick questions (maybe someone can comment on them):

1) How can I change the default alias to "t" instead of "rtm" (I've tried changing the override alias in options, but when I try it, it doesn't respond to either command then)

2) How might I change the organizational structure of FARR Remember The Milk so that the very first thing that displays is my incomplete tasks, followed by the "More actions" option?  (I would like to just type "t" and get immediate access to tasks  :D )

3) When adding a new task in RTM, I always specify a tag and priority.  Instead of typing slashes and colons, I would like it if the software had an option to prompt for these values.  So, for example, you type "rtm a testing", press enter, software shows list of existing tags to choose from, you choose one, software shows a list of priorities, you choose one, and then the task is added and the default task list displays.  Would you mind adding this as a feature request?  Under options, there could be 2 check boxes:  "Prompt for tag on add task" and "Prompt for priority on add task".  It would make it a lot easier for me to add tasks quickly.  Thanks!

4) After adding a task using "rtm a", the incomplete tasks list shows which is great, but "rtm a" still remains in the textbox.  Could you please add a feature request to make it so that after adding the contents of the textbox reads "rtm tasks"?  Thanks again.

Great job.  (Let me know if you want me to add this into the software for you securely :Thmbsup:)

Sorry for the late reply, I was on holiday last week.

Concerning your first question: FarrMilk supports overriding the alias. Actually, mouser added the possibility for plugins to query the alias because I wanted FarrMilk to support this. You're right that it doesn't work with "t" though (or with "y" for that matter). Maybe FARR plugin aliases have to be at least two characters long (I just tried "tt" and that works).

As for your other questions, let me think about these.

Hi Rico

Unfortunately, this is one of the unsolved FarrMilk mysteries. I still have no idea what the problem could be. But I'll investigate once more.

I think the exception error is a conflict with fscript plugins.. if you uninstall the other plugins you have installed, does the rtm crash go away?
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.5
Post by: phitsc on March 25, 2009, 09:33 AM
This was indeed what caused the exception error on my PC. TucknDar, would you mind checking if you can get FarrMilk to work if you remove your fscript based plugins?

(addendum)
To be more precise: The problem only happened when I had plugins with the newer jscript.dll (1.13.0.0) installed, but not with ones using the old jscript.dll (1.8.1).

Hi Philipp

Maybe I wasn't clear: There is no DIRECT way to go out  :D We need to go through the proxy to access the internet.

I don't know how libcurl gets to know the proxy settings of my PC. Does it take IE's settings?

On Unices, you have to set env vars to access the internet through a proxy on the command line (for tools like wget, curl etc). I don't know how FarrRTM does it.

I still love this, phitsc, thanks a lot!

One very small quibble: in the "advanced options" (after I go aplugins-enter) I can choose how my tasks are ordered (which is terrific!).
However, it seems to order tasks filtering in the inverse order!

I'll try to illustrate with an example:
I had "Due date" then "priority". I guessed this would mean first the oldest, and each day, highest priority first.
However it does the opposite for me: it lists first those with a higher priority, then orders amongst priorities by date.

Bug or intentional?
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.5
Post by: phitsc on March 31, 2009, 03:57 PM
Bug or intentional?
Well, tasks are sorted by all ticked sorting criteria in the order specified. For example the default is to sort them first by name, then by priority, which will give you a list of tasks sorted by priority, and tasks with the same priority sorted by name. I have to agree though that this is probably not how one would expect it to be. I'm going to change that.

by the way: you can show the options dialog with the rtm options command.

Thanks about the rtm options... much handier (I really should reread the manual!)

I suspect you meant the default setting is to filter by date, then priority then name, which is exactly the order I'd like,
but what I meant is, in order to achieve that filtering, the filters start in this order "name" "priority" "date".

So yeah, it works perfectly and if no one is as stupid as I am (dont fix what aint broken!), it shouldnt be a problem, but since I just figured it out, I thought I could say it. Thanks for offering to change, it IS minor, but hey, why settle for very good when you have perfect on sight!

Also, I figured I could post that I tried the "enable smartlists" and it did slow FARR and rtmplugin, so I could give you my number of tasks and smartlists so you could have some data (if you dont need it just tell me to shut up!  ;D)

Yes, that is what I meant. The default order is how I wanted it to be, but the way it is specified in the options window looks uncommon. So I think you are right when you suggest that I should reverse it in the options window.

Also, I figured I could post that I tried the "enable smartlists" and it did slow FARR and rtmplugin, so I could give you my number of tasks and smartlists so you could have some data (if you dont need it just tell me to shut up!  ;D)
No, please go ahead. I would be very interested in those numbers. Unfortunately, there is really nothing I can do about the bad performance as the reason for this is a bug in the RTM API (which I did report, but which doesn't seem to be important enough to fix). I was actually happy I found a workaround for it ;)

Post by: phitsc on April 04, 2009, 08:30 AM
With the three biggest problems finally resolved I feel it's time to make this version the 1.0 release. :D

Thanks to Ric0la for helping me find the cause for the "can't create authentication url" problem. It's now possible to specify a proxy server to be used by FarrMilk in the options window. Thanks also to vjcamarena for pointing out the sort order problem. I've changed that in this release, which unfortunately means everyone has to manually reverse their respective sorting order in the options window (or alternatively delete the FarrMilk.ini file).

And finally thanks also to sean2078 for a very good feature request which I have implemented in this release. When pressing Shift+Enter (instead of just Enter) to add a new task, the user is now presented with a window asking for a priority, tag(s) and list for the new task. The fields can be navigated quickly by pressing Tab (which is common for dialogs) and their values can optionally be stored for the next adding of a task. If one of these properties was already specified in the FARR search box, the respective field is initialised accordingly. If you prefer to always specify these properties in this way (by pressing just Enter instead of Shift+Enter), there's a new option in the options window that will let you do that.

sean2078

Concerning 2: I've though about this and did not come up with a good idea of how to implement this in a way I like yet. Will think about it some more.
Concerning 4: This is actually a feature. After adding a task, everything but the task's name remains which allows to easily add another task with the same properties (i.e. same priority, tags, list, etc.), just type a new name for the second task and hit Enter again. Nevertheless, this would be easy to implement. The question is would you still want that behaviour as long as you can't have 2)?

Before you can use FarrMilk you'll have to authorise the plugin to manipulate your RTM account. To do this, open FARR and type rtm, a web browser will open asking you to log into your RTM account.
Instead I get the error message: could not resolve host name  :(

Then run it like this (it's a command line tool):

C:\AuthenticationUrlTest>AuthenticationUrlTest.exe Proxy

where Proxy can be either a hostname or dotted IP address and port added the usual way (i.e. with : ) and send me the output.

Cheers,
Philipp

OK, so this was problem #1: you required a physical IP number.
This is inconvenient because it changes while the logical name stays the same.

But now I have problem #2: the RTM page opens in Firefox and I press the [OK, I'll allow it] button and RTM acknowledges this choice. But Farrmilk doesn't get it and keeps asking this question.

Interesting. I would have expected this to work with a name as well. All I'm doing is setting the respective curl option (CURLOPT_PROXY). I would have expected curl to make the lookup.

But now I have problem #2: the RTM page opens in Firefox and I press the [OK, I'll allow it] button and RTM acknowledges this choice. But Farrmilk doesn't get it and keeps asking this question.
Once you've pressed 'Ok, I'll allow it', make sure to go back to FARR and select the entry 'Grant Access Permission' and hit enter.

This is an awesome plug-in! thanks for all hard work.

Is it possible to apply filters such as /dueBefore:Friday, /dueWithin='5 days', etc. These are supported within the built-in search facility inside of RTM's website.

I also notice that

rtm t /thursday doesn't seem to work and that only

rtm t /today
rtm t /tomorrow

Are supported.


Thanks in advance.

I've tried RTM a few times but never stuck with it. But I just read up on RTM's just updated input syntax (http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2009/09/introducing-smart-add-a-smarter-way-to-add-your-tasks/) and I like it a lot. Will you make that syntax work with the FARR plugin?

Today and tomorrow are the only due date filters supported by FarrMilk at the moment. I'll consider adding the others, but certainly not this month.

Actually, FarrMilk kind of already supported what the new input syntax now supports, i.e. adding a lot of information right when adding a task, including matching tags and lists.

But the new RTM input syntax should work if the FarrMilk option 'Parse task name for due date' is enabled. If someone cares to try please tell me if it works and I'll rename the option to better reflect the new functionality.

Ok, I got the plugin running now, after some initial trouble. I'll write down the details here for own memory and if someone else runs into the same problem.

First I got "External exception E06D7363" during the authentication process, at the step when I've logged onto RTM website and clicked the button and then returned to FARR to execute the RTM entry - then FARR it crasches. I read in this thread that old Fscript versions could cause that. So I replaced all instances of fscript.dll in plugin subdirectories with the one from czb_pack. That didn't solve the problem - now I got crashes saying "Visual C++ Runtime error". So I against replaced all fscript.dll with ecaradec's latest, v 1.19 (found here: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=12232.0 ). Now FarrMilk seems to work fine. And I have no problems when I tested some czb-plugins (google translate and ninjawords) using v 1.19.

Somewhat off topic, but 100% due to my own enthusiasm, I accidentally renamed all tasks in my RTM inbox.  Somehow the Internet connection barfed along the way so I was unable to 'undo' this.  I have sent RTM support an e-mail asking them to restore my tasks.

Has anyone had them restore tasks? I don't know if this is possible or if I should just get on with my life.

thanks.

Thanks. Turns out that RTM can't restore tasks, even for Pro members. Since I had to start over anyway, I migrated to ToodleDo, which is not as slick, but more structured than RTM. I am finding it overall more useful since you can examine statistics on your tasks, see them on a calendar, and just generally organize them better in layers using subtasks. Also, ToodleDo support twitter.com integration so it still works with FARR via the twitter plugin.

Thanks!

I know how to set up the tag at the same time as setting up the task... for example:

Ideas?

Hi Saturday24

Welcome to the donationcoder.com forums!

You can indeed set a task's due date at the same time as you create the task. This works just the same way as you did with the tag, i.e.

rtm add task some description /due:"21. May 2010"

note the " " because of the spaces.

The following is also possible:

rtm add task some description /due:tomorrow

Additionally, Farr RTM also supports RTM Smart Add (needs to be enabled in the options). With Smart Add enabled, you could do something like this:

rtm add task some description next monday

to set the task's due date to next Monday

You can find more about creating tasks in the help file. Select 'Commands' in the Menu on the left, then the 'Adding a task' link.

Hope this helps. Any more questions, feel free to ask :)

What is it you'd like to have synchronised? I mean, all the tasks come from the RTM server. And it's possible to log into your RTM account with FarrMilk from two different PCs I think.

Hi, I am a FarrMilk user from China.

The plugin makes me more productivity and works well for me excepting one thing. All the Chinese characters in the tag names and in the task note become Unrecognizable Code, however, the Chinese characters in the task names have been displayed properly.

What can I do for this?

The screen snapshots are in attachments

1.png and 2.png show the Unrecognizable Code
3.png show normal Chinese characters

Btw, the power user's shortcut "Changing a task's location" and "Archiving a list" are both "cl".

When I put
/due friday


it just makes a task with the name "/due friday"

Hi iota,

Glad you like FarrMilk. Besides the /today and /tomorrow switches, there are two other ways to set a due date:

1. Enable Smart Add (in the options). With Smart Add enabled, you can type something like 'rtm a Buy milk next Monday' and RTM will parse the task name for something it considers to be a due date.

2. Use FarrMilk's /due switch like this (examples):
rtm a Buy milk /due:21.3.
rtm a Buy milk /due:"13.4.2011 12.45"

Note the following:
- When a parameter value (the stuff after the : ) contains a space, it needs to be enclosed in "
- The order of day and month depend on your regional settings
- The dividing char can be any of the following: / - . :

rtm a printed TPS reports for Andrew /completed (some other command)

That is strange, it works fine here.

This web page shows the acceptable values: https://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/answers/basics/repeatformat.rtm

Note that if you add something with spaces, FarrMilk requires it to be in quotes, e.g.

rtm a Some repeating task /r:"every 2 weeks"

but I tried

rtm a Some repeating task /r:everyday

and it actually worked.

I can't seem to link FARR with my RTM account.  I type in rtm and it brings up the page to link to the RTM API, I click 'OK, I'll allow it' and RTM verifies it saying that this application is now allowed.  But when I go back to FARR and press Enter nothing happens.  If i try to type something in it will bring up the API Authorisation page again and again.  I must have Authorized it at least 10 times but the plugin isn't responding.

If I right click on the 'Grant Access Permission' option then I am told that it can't find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FarrMilk\' make sure you type the name correctly and try again.  If I goto the error log of the plugin then it is full of this message:

01:31 PM, Monday, March 28, 2011
 Error initializing plugin do_init function
C:\Program Files (x86)\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FarrMilk\libcurl.dll

I hope you can help as I can't use it right now :(

Thanks,

I guess you've already tried to do the whole process again, i.e. revoke the authorisation in the RTM web GUI, then restart FARR, type RTM, give authorisation in RTM web GUI, press enter in FARR?

If you want you can screen cast what you're doing (http://www.screentoaster.com/) and PM me a link to check what might be going wrong.

I am having the same issue as byb3 -- I type in rtm and it brings up the page to link to the RTM API, I click 'OK, I'll allow it' and RTM verifies it saying that this application is now allowed. However, if I go to the Services tab under my settings in RTM, it does not list the FARR RTM plug-in in my list of authorized services. Maybe this is why it doesn't work? I don't know why RTM would say that it's authorized and not authorize it though.

I figured out my issue - I wasn't completely following the directions. After typing 'rtm' in FARR for authorization, I would close FARR instead of leaving it open. I got it to work when i RTFM.  :)

I'm using this plugin, and really love it - I switched from launchy to FARR for this plugin.  The only downside I have is - is there any way to have offline functionality? Right now, if I try and add a task and my machine is not connected to the internet, it asks to re authenticate and loses my added task.

So I found out how to configure the userid and password within the proxy dialog, no modification needed!
So far(r) the good news.

I have also the Access violations mentioned higher. I tested with a brand new account and then it works fine. I suppose it has something to do with tasks in my default user, but I have no idea how to find out which one is blocking...

Thanks for your help!

Please excuse my laziness. I'm currently more in Playstation-mood than programming mood. Good that you found a way to configure the userid and password within the proxy dialog. Would you mind to share, so that I can add it to the help file?

Concerning the access violation: good that you have it! Well, not for you, I know. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to track down the problem last time it was reported because the user reporting it just removed a whole bunch of tasks and the problem went away for him. So maybe now, with your help, I might be able to find out what's going wrong.

If I remember correctly, the tasks he removed were actually ones which were already set to complete (hence he could remove them). The question is how do we find out which one is causing troubles?

Do you have many tasks? And many completed ones? I made a version of the plugin that traces out some info when the tasks are loaded, so you can see which one is causing the crash. It might actually still be on the ftp. I'll check later when I'm home.

OK. It all depends on how I write the date. Previously, I wrote, "31 stycznia 2013" (polish 31 January 2013). Like on RTM website. When I wrote "31-01-2013" - it works. What formats does it work?

FarrMilk uses the computers locale settings to parse dates. So if your computer's locale is set to polish and "31 stycznia 2013" is how you'd write a date in Poland then what you're trying to do should work, i.e. if it doesn't work it's a bug in FarrMilk.

Hi,

is this plugin still under development? Just installed it, and the only thing I can do with it is access the authorization page in the web browser. After authorization (which is confirmed in the browser), basically nothing happens. Every time I type "rtm" in FARR, I get sent to the authorization page again.

There seem to have been some changes to RTM (haven't used it for a long time). I noticed that my Netvibes module (which I also haven't used for long) also doesn't work anymore. A question regarding the Netvibes module has basically been unanswered on the RTM forum for more than a year.

I have a question, stuff like moving a task to a list, does this only work in interactive mode or is there a pure command way of doing it?

rtm m taskname /l:newlist

No, I don't think what you want is currently possible. I'll have a look at how much effort it would be to add it.
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 1.1.3
Post by: RobFreundlich on July 03, 2016, 08:52 AM
I can't get the plug-in to show the contents of any of my Smart Lists.  I've read the note about them, so I know they're odd ducks, but it sounds like they ought to work if I've got the option for them checked, which I do:

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

When I try to use a Smart List, here's what happens:

1. The list shows 0 tasks.  I think that makes sense, given what you've described in your note:

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

2. When I select the list, it fills in the command line with what looks the correct syntax:

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

3. When I hit enter, instead of going and fetching the list and displaying its tasks in FARR like it'd do with a normal list, it opens my browser as if I were searching for rtm tasks /list:"Today's agenda"

I know that the Smart List I'm using here as an example has a single quote in it, and I thought that might be the problem, but I tried with another Smart List without one, and it did the same thing.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Rob

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Smart list support seems to be broken in the FarrMilk plugin. A quick search through the RTM API forum indicates that smart lists are still badly supported in the API so I'm afraid I am not sure I can fix this easily.
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 1.1.3
Post by: RobFreundlich on July 04, 2016, 11:18 AM
Thanks for the quick response!

It bums me out, though, that smart lists don't work, since I tend to work almost exclusively off of a single Smart List which contains everything that's due today, everything that's overdue, and everything that has a start date on or before today (regardless of due date).  In other words, everything I ought to be thinking about doing today.  None of the built-in lists covers that.

/sigh

Time for me to head over to RTM and file a bug report against their API's on your behalf  ;)

Thanks!  Sorry to resurrect something from the, uh, Farr past :-)

I went and got myself a non-commercial API license yesterday so I can play around with smart lists and see what's up with them.  If I have some time at work today (in between mentoring my intern, coding my own stuff, and being the weekly liaison from my dev group to support.  /sigh) I'll see if I can get a listing of my main SL.  If not, I'll hit it tonight.  Either way, I'll post back here with my results.
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 1.1.3
Post by: RobFreundlich on July 09, 2016, 02:52 PM
I've been playing around with the RTM API, and I found that if you use a Smart List's ID with the rtm.tasks.getList method, it works great.  For example, I made this series of calls:

1. The authentication sequence, leading to an auth_token of 12345

2. http://api.rememberthemilk.com/services/rest/?method=rtm.lists.getList&api_key=my_key&auth_token=12345&api_sig=the right sig

Result:
Code: Text [Select]
  1. <rsp state="ok">
  2. <lists>
  3. ... a bunch of list tags
  4.   <list id="39989832" name="Today's agenda" deleted="0" locked="0" archived="0" position="0" smart="1" sort_order="0">
  5.     <filter>(due:today OR dueBefore:today OR (NOT start:never AND NOT startAfter:today)) AND NOT list:Groceries AND NOT location:brain</filter>
  6.   </list>
  7. ... a bunch of other list tags
  8. </lists>
  9. </rsp>

3. http://api.rememberthemilk.com/services/rest/?method=rtm.tasks.getList&api_key=my_key&auth_token=12345&list_id=39989832&filter=status:incomplete&api_sig=the right sig

Result: XML containing the incomplete tasks in my "Today's agenda" Smart List


I didn't try putting the name of the Smart List into the filters since they provide the list_id parameter.  But this seems to work properly, so I imagine it ought to be pretty easy to work into the plug-in, assuming you're keeping track of list ID's.
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 1.1.3
Post by: phitsc on July 11, 2016, 12:48 AM
I am using the ID of the smart list, which does not seem to work. Can you try your query in 3. with only the list_id, but without the filter? And maybe also the list_id with an empty filter? Using only the filter seems to work though, I found this as a solution in the dev forum (and according your test also the filter and the list_id together). I did not keep track of the filter, so I assume the introduction of the filter and the respective change to rtm.tasks.getList is when the functionality broke in FarrMilk.

When I first tried it, I used only the list_id, and got back both complete and incomplete tasks that meet the list's criteria.  So that definitely works.  I just added the status:incomplete filter so that I'd only get the incompletes.

Hm, you are right, it does indeed work. I did not change a single line of code related to smart lists and it seems to work with my current build. How strange :tellme:

Could you try this version please?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3612554/FarrMilkSetup.exe

The only functional change is that it's using the https backend now. There are no changes related to smart lists. I did some minor refactoring, getting rid of a library which is not required anymore with the current version of the compiler.

This version wants VCRUNTIME140.dll, which I don't have.

I know that's part of the Visual Studio 2015 Runtime, but I'm a little reluctant to download it since part of the project I work on uses VS and we're still on 2013.  I don't do Windows development, but that piece does build as part of my overall build, so I don't know if putting this on my system will break my build.

Can this version of FarrMilk be installed without the runtime?  Or do you know whether the runtime is safe for me to install?
Title: Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 1.1.3

Really sorry about that. Yes, it should be safe to install the VS 2015 runtime alongside the one for VS 2013. But to be honest, I thought I had the runtime libraries linked into the binary. But maybe I haven't for libcurl. I can't check right now, will do so in a the next 24 hours. Sorry for using you as a guinea pig.

I'll try to get the runtime installed (or will do it at home - like you, I'm juggling a couple of tasks right now and probably will be until the end of the work day).

As for the guinea pig thing, don't worry about it.  I asked for a fix, and you're responding - I'm happy to thrash around in the habitat, squeaking and whistling and whatever other sound they make while you keep tossing me things to try  8)

I installed the VS 2015 runtime at home, and I still can't get FARR to load the plugin.  I suspect it has to do with my system being 64-bit and the runtime installing VCRUNTIME140.dll into Windows/System32, even though I did a 64-bit install.  I tried to cheat by putting Windows/System32 into my path, but that didn't work.  Neither did creating a symbolic link to it in the FARR directory.

However, I tried reverting back to version 1.1.3, and it is now showing me things from my smart lists.  Like you, I don't understand what has changed - why it now works where it didn't before.  So much for computers being deterministic.

For 32 bit software, as FARR is, you'll probably have to install the 32 bit version of the runtime. Eventually, on 64 bit systems, you'll probably end up installing both the 32 and 64 bit version of those runtimes. With current harddrive sizes that shouldn't be a problem. And they'll happily live, independently, next to each other. :)

I've re-built libcurl with the C runtime linked into the binary and replaced the installer here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3612554/FarrMilkSetup.exe

No installation of additional runtime should be necessary.

Would appreciate if you could check this one out, even if smart lists seem to be working with 1.1.3 after all.

My only explanation for why it's working again now is a bug / glitch at RTM's side which they coincidentally fixed just now.

That makes complete sense and probably explains what I saw - even though FARR is finding the DLL, it's the wrong version and so it can't load it.

It installed and ran this time, I'm getting errors.

In this screenshot, I clicked on entry 5:
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

In this one, I hit PageDn to see all tasks, then hit the down arrow to get into the list:
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

At that point, FARR force-closed.  Could this have to do with my running 64-bit Windows (7 Enterprise, SP1)?

I'm not sure. I'm running Windows 8.1 64-bit and it seems to be working fine. I would assume it should run with 64-bit Windows 7 as well though. Does it matter which of the tasks you click on in order to make it crash? Does it crash with 1.1.3 as well?

I have an old laptop somewhere lying around that I think still has Windows 7 installed (not sure if it's 32 or 64 bit though). I'll try later with that one.

It doesn't matter which one I click, and it does fail the same way with 1.1.3

I'm afraid I wasn't able to reproduce the crash on my old laptop running the 32 bit version Windows 7. I've also re-created your smart list 'Today's agenda' hoping it might be somehow related to that search, so far without success. If you want to help track it down I can make you a build with log statements embedded, trying to find the position in the code where it crashes.

I'd be glad to!  The machine in question (at work) is 64-bit Win 7, though, if that helps any.

By the way, I'm back home on my Windows 10 (64-bit) machine, and I can't get this latest version to work at all.  When I type rtm, I get a message about an invalid certificate.

Starting to believe I'm cursed ...

Working fine in the Windows 10 VM I just tried :(
