Now I’m thinking about being in DropBox and being able to open text files on my iPad in TaskPaper (and or WriteRoom someday), and I have to say, I think my trips down to Poets House will be much more productive, especially since I’m not dragging the old laptop along. I also keep my research lists there, books and article I need to pull when I get to the library, Project = Area of inquiry, Tags = In which facility they are located. It’s wonderful for quotes, or phrases you want to use, just like shuffling around cards in Scrivener (chunkification and de-chunkification ). I’m using TaskPaper (both iPad and Mac) for note collection and arrangement.

Of course I’ve had to learn how to get rid of all the indents and such in the core plain text files before printing, but that’s what WordServices is for, right? I’m sure you can take the example and extend it to your writing situation. Simply managing revisions as sequential “Projects” lets me flip back and forth and see what the heck I was doing four revisions ago.

I know that TaskPaper is marketed as being for ‘simple task lists’ but being able to move paragraphs around, hoist sections, tag others, and it’s not that far of a conceptual leap to think of it as a powerful drafting tool. On the iPad I’m using the TaskPaper “show project” function to work with longer texts, like story drafts, kind of the way I’ve used Scrivener on my iMac or MPB. I’ve clipped my posts on the topic below.

It is also not yet possible to create new tasks/events in ticToc with AppleScript so they will have to either already exist or be manually created beforehand.We’ve been having a great conversation over on the Literature & Latte forums about TaskPaper, Scrivener, and note taking on the iPad.

This means that if you start a task in TPM and then stop it in TicToc, I have no way yet of syncing those changes (updating tag in TPM) so therefore all starting and stopping should be done in TPM.

Unfortunately Tictoc’s AppleScript support is still rather limited and therefor I have no way of telling if a task is being tracked/timed except by the tag.

Tracking tag is either empty or it’s value doesn’t correspond to a task/event in TicToc.

Entry selected doesn’t have a tracking tag default).

In this first version, the script will output errors in the following situations: It’s only needed on first run in order to register the script with Growl.

After the first run you can set registered to true.

is the default for tasks being “tracked”.

Before the first run it is important you customise the script with your preferred tags.

You need to have TicToc installed for this particular action. NOTE: If a document with the specified name doesn’t exist it will be created (Text file types only so far…) If you prefer more tags/document types then just expand on this. Finally we have the app with which you want to open the note (must be apps exact name, correct caps and all) Item 3 pertains to tag outline. So in the above example, item 2 is a list of the path where you place docs related to your Note tag and the extension of your Note tag (some may prefer txt, md, mmd etc.).

Item 2 onwards is a list of records pertaining to each tag.
