[Bug 318714] Re: Print function to print task list

 

Hello,
i developed a little plugin to do that. Basically it does :
- Exports the tasks into a text file 
- Then opens this text file with gedit (or any other text editor)

With a dialog window you can choose what do you want to export :
- Upcoming tasks
- Done tasks until XXX days ago (where the choose the XXX value)
- Which text editor you want to open the text file generated

Once your tasks export and open in gedit (default text editor) you can
modify them, copy/paste to another soft (openoffice, thunderbird...) or
do whatever you want before printing.

I'm really not a developper (first time i use python and gtk) so surely
the code is not very pretty, but it seems to work for me and that why i
wanted to share it with you.

To install it :
1. you need the version 0.1.2-dev. If you don't have it install bzr (apt-get install bzr) and launch this command :
bzr branch lp:gtg
2. Go in gtg/GTG/plugins folder
3. copy printTasksToFile.gtg-plugin to this folder
4. always in the plugins folder, create a subfolder printTasksToFile 
5. Go in this new folder (gtg/GTG/plugins/printTasksToFile)
6. copy the 3 other files

Bug description:
We should be able to print the displayed task list. It comes handy sometimes to have a sheet of paper to work on. In order to do this we should first some kind of printing template.

This is surely not an easy functionality, but it is an important one.
