2024-7-27 - WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY
Delete
- parmeters are -d or -del and IDs to delete
- removes items from list
- see notes below on deleting from a string list
Touch
- parmeters are -t or -touch
- check all item have a started date
- only process items not completed actually
- if not, sets started date to now
Archive
- parmeters are -a or -archive
- moves completed items to an archive
- these are rows marked with an 'x'
On deleting items from a stringlist -
intial list A B C D E F G H
afer deleting items[0] 1,7 A B C D E F G
- on deleting items from stringlist have to go in reverse order
- why? if you delete 1st item, then the 2nd becomes the first, 3rd becomes second etc.
- if there are 10 items in the list (0..9) and you wanted to delete the 1st and last then
- after deleting the 1st, the last item is now in position 8
- at least when done in reverse order you can preserve order of items not processed
- if you did want to process in other then you would need some sort of deleted flag
- and if on saving might want to have some sort of compacting type function to remove those
- items marked for deletion.
