I’ve been using task forge for the past month, and I’ve really appreciated it so far!
I’ve run into a couple of issues during my use (Android)
Tasks seem to always be added to the bottom of the page. This is especially an issue with recurring tasks since I expect them to appear in the above the previous recurrence (ie. parity with tasks plugin). Was wondering if anyone knows if there’s a setting/workaround for this or if others have this issue as well. I see that I can change where tasks appear in daily notes, but I want to do this for tasks in other pages as well. @TaskForgeDev
Late reply here but the notification discarding issue should have been fixed in a newer release. I’ll also look into the persisting notification feature for a future version.
I’ve also made a bunch of updates to the widgets so hopefully the missing tasks issue is no longer happening!
Thanks for letting me know about the WRITE_SETTINGS permission, I actually don’t know why that permission is included. I’ll make sure to audit it in the next release to verify it it’s actually required.
As for your other questions, the app relies entirely on your existing Obsidian sync mechanism and does no syncing with your vault on other devices by itself.
It also accesses the vault via the regular file system instead of the App Storage. This is done because user’s can store their vaults in arbitrary locations and accessing through the file system is much much faster than accessing through APIs that Android has with App Storage.
For task placement, recurring tasks should appear directly below their parent task but all other new tasks will get added to the bottom of the file. Let me know what specific behaviour you’re looking for and I can look into adding it as an option in a future release.
Also you’re unfortunately right that the Obsidian sync issue is unrelated as TaskForge doesn’t handle any vault syncing, we rely entirely on your existing sync solution.
Would it be possible to change the locale for the daily notes format? Personally, I’m French and I use the format DD-MM-YYYY dd in the names of my daily notes, The dd gives me the first two letters of the day of the week in French. I don’t think this is possible with TaskForge. You can use dd to have the month number of the day, DDD to have the three first letter of the day in english, but it seems not possible to have the first two letters of the day in french. Could it be implemented? The main solution would be to be able to change the locale / language for the daily note format.
