Product Description:

Two Due is a To Do List manager that does more than most. Some of its special features are: recurring To Do items, so that they can be scheduled to occur on a regular basis; multiple sorting and selection fields; multiple files with remembered viewing options for each; extra fields for each To Do item, such as a multi-line Description, Outcome, Sequence and Web Page; automatic Web Publishing; plus multiple levels of categories in the latest release.

What's new in this version:

  • Modified Next and Prior actions to work properly when coming from the Tree Tab, so that they take you to the next/prior items as sorted by category.
  • Added a Find function that will search for a text string in any text field, ignoring case, take you to the first found item, and then allow you to use Next and Prior to cycle through the list of found items. For ease of use, and consistency with the Mac interface, also added Find Again, which takes you to the next found record.
  • The item number and item count fields displayed at the bottom of the screen now show information from the active view. A view may be activated by selecting an item from its Tab (List and Tree have their own views) or by executing a function that selects a subset of the records (such as Find). In the case of a Find, for example, the numbers at the bottom of the screen will show you the item number and item count for the found records, until the user selects the List or Tree view to activate a different view.
  • Added logging tab so as to provide a place to display background messages about what the program is doing. Useful for debugging or to figure out what the program is doing when this may otherwise not be obvious.
  • Modified to ignore any errors when attempting to save user preferences, if the program has not yet been registered. This supports potential users executing the program from the disk image, before moving it to their hard drive.
  • Added the ability to perform an entire Web publishing script, as an alternative to using a single template. The script format supports filtering and sorting as well as template expansion. The script format is the same as the one used by TDF Czar. Script file names are entered in place of Web Templates, and script file names must end with '.tcz'.
  • The List menu now includes a Replace Category function. This will change the category of all items having the specified find value to the specified replacement value.
  • Added a new item status value of Pending, to indicate that the task is waiting on someone else to take some action.
  • Added an import function that will open an existing file and add its contents to the current list of items. File names ending in .htm or .html will be recognized as HTML files, and will be treated as bookmark files, for the purpose of importing. Files with other extensions will be treated as standard Two Due tab-delimited files.
  • Added a "Validate Web Pages" function, available from the List Menu. When selected, all non-blank web pages in the current list will be validated to be active and available URL references. The command will identify the number of dead links found, and will allow you to cycle through these by using the Next and Prior commands.
  • Renamed the Record menu to the Item menu, and moved it to the right of the List menu, so that menus now go consistently from most general to most specific, when read from left to right.
  • For those who like keyboard shortcuts, Alt/Cmd 1 - 5 now take you to the List through Recurs tabs, respectively. These are visible, and also available, from the new Tabs menu.

Two Due ReviewThere you are - Version: 2.0.1, 10/24/2005 11:04PM PST

It's a bit slow to open and somewhat complex, but I'm sure I could get used to that. It seems to be solid and works very well. I like applications that you can just open up without tons of reading to use it. I was able to do that with this one, or maybe I just got lucky. I can see how this could work for a normal person and even people that need a more detailed note keeper. OS 10.4.2

In response to the prior two posts: both seem like rather extreme reactions to program behaviors which are slightly different from the norm but for which there are good reasons.

  1. This program is no more dangerous than other programs in terms of where it allows you to save your files. This is a permissions issue which has to do with the permissions of the user account operating the program, not with any special capabilities of the program itself.
  2. It is certainly possible to save your files on a network drive. At the top level on your boot drive there is a folder called 'Volumes'. Open this folder and you will find all your mounted drives, including network volumes. Again, this is not any special feature of the program, but part of Mac OS X.
  3. It is true that you can't open a to do list by double-clicking on it or dropping the file on the app -- but why would you want to? I don't foresee people creating thousands of to do lists and passing them around to one another. The typical user creates one or two or three to do lists for various purposes and then wants to open them on a regular basis. The program makes this easy by automatically opening your primary to do list for you whenever you launch the program. It also has an "Open Known" menu item that remembers all the to do lists you have previously opened and allows you to select any of them. So if you simply open the program first (preferably by having it automatically launch at startup) then opening your files is a snap.
  4. It is true that if you move a to do file the program won't automatically find it for you -- you have to tell it the file's new location, simply be opening the file in its new location. Again, though, I am not sure why you would want to be moving your to do files around all the time. And I am not sure how the program would find them all if you did move them, especially if you renamed them as well.
  5. The date selection is actually pretty easy. It defaults to a date far in the future so that, if you don't set a date, priority will automatically override the date in terms of sorting your undated to do items. However there is a "Today" button that allows you to set the date to today with one click. There are other buttons that allow you to advance the date by a week, day, or month, so that you can usually set the date you want with a few clicks, if you don't want to have to type it in. Again, this doesn't seem difficult to me -- although perhaps a little different from what people are used to in other apps.
