Post installation instructions.

Setting up the configuration

Configuring the path of your GTD data

After installing the MobileGTD and the MobileGTDData package you have a GTD directory C:\Data\GTD. If you want to change this move the directory somewhere else and update the main configuration file C:\system\data\mobile_gtd.cfg

Configuring abbreviations for contexts

In your GTD directory there is a configuration file called abbreviations.cfg. Edit it to define abbreviations for contexts. When entering actions you can use those abbreviations. Remember to put a slash at the end of each context path.

Key shortcuts and menu entries

In your GTD directory there are two configuration files called actions.cfg and projects.cfg. Each one contains several lines in the following format:

function_name:key_shortcut, String for menu entry

You can change the key shortcuts and the menu strings but you must keep the function names.

Screen Layout

You can define screen layouts in C:\system\data\mobile_gtd.cfg. Possible values are 'normal', 'large' and 'full'.

Review Configuration

With inactivity_threshold in C:\system\data\mobile_gtd.cfg you can define after how many days a stalled project should be scheduled for review.

Hi, I'm using a Nokia E61 with a qwerty keyboard, and I'd like to find out if I can map the key shortcuts to the keys on my keyboard rather than the numberic keys.

You should be able to use all keys specified in C:/resource/key_codes.py by leaving away the leading EKey. Excerpt:

Null Bell Backspace Tab LineFeed? VerticalTab? FormFeed? Enter Escape Space Delete PrintScreen? Pause Home End PageUp? PageDown? Insert LeftArrow? RightArrow? UpArrow? DownArrow? LeftShift? RightShift? LeftAlt? RightAlt? LeftCtrl? RightCtrl? LeftFunc? RightFunc? CapsLock? NumLock? ScrollLock? F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 F13 F14 F15 F16 F17 F18 F19 F20 F21 F22 F23 F24 Off IncContrast? DecContrast? BacklightOn? BacklightOff? BacklightToggle? SliderDown? SliderUp? Menu DictaphonePlay? DictaphoneStop? DictaphoneRecord? Help Dial ScreenDimension0? ScreenDimension1? ScreenDimension2? ScreenDimension3? IncVolume? DecVolume? Device0 Device1 Device2 Device3 Device4 Device5 Device6 Device7 Device8 Device9 DeviceA DeviceB DeviceC DeviceD DeviceE DeviceF Application0 Application1 Application2 Application3 Application4 Application5 Application6 Application7 Application8 Application9 ApplicationA ApplicationB ApplicationC ApplicationD ApplicationE ApplicationF Yes No IncBrightness? DecBrightness? KeyboardExtend? Device10 Device11 Device12 Device13 Device14 Device15 Device16 Device17 Device18 Device19 Device1A Device1B Device1C Device1D Device1E Device1F Application10 Application11 Application12 Application13 Application14 Application15 Application16 Application17 Application18 Application19 Application1A Application1B Application1C Application1D Application1E Application1F

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Star Hash LeftSoftkey? RightSoftkey? Select Edit Menu

If this does not work and you know python, you can check out the code and have a look at gui.py, especially the function get_key(key_name) and the places where it is used. If you make any changes please contact me, so I can integrate them back.

Hi Martin, thanks so much for this app! I've been looking for a decent GTD app for Symbian S60 3rd and this is the only good one I've found so far.

I couldn't find C:\system\data\mobile_gtd.cfg though. My mobile_gtd.log says:

Configuration file C:/System/Data/mobile_gtd.cfg does not exist Decoded 'path:C:/Data/GTD/\nscreen:normal\ninactivity_threshold:7' to u'path:C:/Data/GTD/\nscreen:normal\ninactivity_threshold:7'

Any idea what happened?

That's strange! That string after "Decoded ..." is the content of the configuration file. Can you manually create the file and enter the following into it:

path:C:/Data/GTD/ 
screen:normal 
inactivity_threshold:7
