I downloaded the latest Task List module from the download center. It appeared to install and be working normally. I entered several known issues for my project. This morning after opening Netbeans I find that the User Tasks are still there but the critical data in the Summary and Details fields are missing. Is there something I'm missing here? Like another step to save the data? Further testing revealed that closing the User Tasks window would cause the same behavior, i.e. the tasks lose the summary and detail field data previously entered. Q Build 200510311820
Created attachment 26888 [details] Document to store user tasks
cannot reproduce with the current dev build
This just happened for me last week too. And I use a dev build of NetBeans 5.0. (I pull and rebuild every day or two). So unless this has been fixed in the tasklist module in the last week it's still there, although perhaps not 100% reproducible. I have a tasklist with a bunch of tasks in it, and out of 35 tasks, 4 have no Summary any more. I know I didn't enter them that way (although it's very easy to do so in the New Task dialog; I should file a usability bug on that), and a couple of days later I spotted a new blank task. I'm a bit worried since I don't know -which- tasks were dropped. Hopefully nothing important. We've gotta track this down.
By the way, note that all my "blank" tasks are at the END of the tasklist (and I don't have Summary sorting enabled, it's in natural (reverse entered) order). Don't know if that clue helps. The way I know these are real tasks as opposed to accidentally entered blank tasks is that the Category fields still contain their contents.
Glad to hear you again Tor. There was indeed a commit for ICalExportFormat.java on 10 Nov (1.15) here is the old code: if (prop == null) prop = new Summary(); prop.setValue(desc); } else { if (prop != null) pl.remove(prop); } // description (details) String details = task.getDetails(); prop = pl.getProperty(Property.DESCRIPTION); if (details != null && details.length() > 0) { if (prop == null) prop = new Description(); prop.setValue(details); and here the new (the new CVS support seems to lack the ability to produce text diffs and I already deinstalled WinCVS): if (prop == null) { prop = new Summary(); pl.add(prop); <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< } prop.setValue(desc); } else { if (prop != null) pl.remove(prop); } // description (details) String details = task.getDetails(); prop = pl.getProperty(Property.DESCRIPTION); if (details != null && details.length() > 0) { if (prop == null) { prop = new Description(); pl.add(prop);<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< } closing the issue as "fixed".
