I realize there’s no defined way of submitting bug-reports or suggestions for Mind Traffic Control. I need to set one up. In the meantime, use the comments for this post.

    I’m not seeing the tag-filtering today. Saw it last week or the week before (I’m not minding my traffic control very well).

    xradiographer : you’ll only see tag filtering if there are tags to filter in your Queue. If you did or deleted or defered the tagged items the won’t appear as filters. And if there are no potential filters, you won’t even see the option.

    Okay — I got the filter back when I created a new task with a #tag at the beginning of the task.

    previous tasks I used #tag at the end — and I SWEAR I got a filer box at some point, then, too.

    if I *test* if with #tags at the end of the line it seems to work ok.

    I think there has definitely been a problem with these endline tags at some point, but I can’t reliably reproduce it now. So I’m assuming there has to be something else going on too. Maybe some weird character got in.

    The algorithm I use is “split the line at spaces and if the first character of any of the pieces is # then the piece is a tag” … so for it to fail I’d assume that something invisible might get in before the # … or maybe even a comma or full-stop??

    Keep trying and if you see any more examples please tell me.

    More of a low priority feature request……

    * When using MTC as standalone in Prism it always has to have a separate FF open to login.

    * Using https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=ah&continue=http://mindtrafficcontrol.appspot.com/_ah/login%3Fcontinue%3Dhttp://mindtrafficcontrol.appspot.com/&ltmpl=gm&ahname=Mind+Traffic+Control as a start url doesn’t work either

    * Https is always required

    * Not a problem with Gmail

    When you logout and logon with a different google account 🙂 You get this

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py”, line 501, in __call__
    handler.post(*groups)

    if blacklist.badCheck(user.email(),buffer) :
    AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ’email’

    hi, thanks for comments :

    @nonh : hmmm. I’ll look into these. It may be I don’t understand the Google account management well enough. I suspect some of these may be constraints on Application Engine. But I’ll try to find out.

    Prism / offline working is definitely something I want to support.

    @seraphim : that wouldn’t be a google account that doesn’t have an email property associated with it, would it? Yeah, I’m just grabbing the email property from the user object assuming that that’s always there, but if isn’t I’ll have to protect against that. Thanks

    Connection: this app combined with another app engine app “FloatingTime” would really rock for knowing what to do and looking at where I spend my time/am inefficient…

    yumbrad : Thanks for comment.

    What would you need in order to connect it?

    Hi Phil, I’d suggest that you open a project on code.google.com to track issues. Their platform is simple and might be enough for your endeavor..

    israel : yeah, I’m using google code for three other projects at the moment … I’ll move Mind Traffic Control there once I’ve released the source-code. (Just want to tidy it up a little first)

    It will NEVER be clean enough! Just throw it out there. Trust us to keep using MTC and not run in horror!

  13. phil jones Avatar

    he he … OtherMichael … 🙂

    OK .. it’s coming real soon. I’m really just trying to separate a couple of pieces of my Python code into distinct reusable components from MTC, GeekWeaver, the Python SdiDesk etc. before multiple copies all end up out in the wild.

    Back in the U.K. yet?

    bug – I created a tag with a hyphen in it

    #grad-school

    viewing in overview, there is NO tag listed on the right. I thought maybe it would come up under the existing “grad” tag, but it doesn’t — never appears….

  15. OtherMichael Avatar

    I take it back — I can get it via the [untagged] filter. Which I didn’t originally try, becuase I tag everything now (and this was somewhat tagged….)
