Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR alias: Quick Outlook Task
« on: July 29, 2008, 02:47 PM »If there were (**non essential**) additions, the only thing I see : more switches for those (like me...) who work with other common task fields, like : mileage, billing, company, contact, etc.-Armando (July 28, 2008, 07:16 PM)
Especially for Armando and other task freaks, an updated version with every switch I could find, plus the ability to update existing tasks - not much use marking a new task as completed ...
The attached zip file contains only do.exe and the updated readme.txt. I am postponing publishing this update to a wider audience until mouser makes web/ftp space available, and hopefully I have some feedback by that time, so I can eliminate any pesky bugs - I admit I am kind of rushing this out, need to go on with my regular job.
From the readme:
Updating existing tasks
-----------------------
It is not possible to create a task with a subject that already exists. If you try to create
a task with an existing subject, the program assumes that you want to update the existing task
with the new information - but you will be asked for confirmation. Only task properties that you
have given new values for will be changed, the other properties remain as they are.
For instance, if you want to change the priority of the "Paint house a nice bright pink" task in the example above
to "high", you just type "do Paint house a nice bright pink /p high". The program asks you if you
want to update the existing task "Paint house a nice bright pink". If you answer yes, the task is
updated: the priority is changed from "normal" to "high", and the start and due dates remain as
they are. If you answer no, no task is created.
If you find "Paint house a nice bright pink" too long, you could also type "do Paint /p high.".
The program sees that there already is a task that starts with "paint" and asks you if you want
to update the task "Paint house a nice bright pink". If you answer yes, the "Paint house a nice
bright pink" is updated. If you answer no, a new task "Paint" is created.
