# 4.4 Todo List - (Noch nicht übersetzt)

The todo list is unfortunately in a state of flux, so what is described here (as far as ``operation'' of the todo list goes) may change in the near future.

The todolist provides a place for you to jot down quick (or long-term) notes to yourself about things that you need to do. Currently, you cannot associate a date due with a todo entry, but this is forthcoming. You can however assign priorities to todos, and they will appear sorted in order of priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority, except that zero (0) is defined as ``no priority.''

To make a new todo entry, right click in the todo box. You will get a menu with the option to create a new entry. If you clicked on an already existing todo, you will also see a choice to delete that entry if you wish. When you choose `New Todo`, a new todo will be created and you will be prompted to enter a short description. After doing this, you can change the priority by double-clicking in the second column of the todo, which will bring up a list of possible priorities. simply click on one to choose it. Similarly, if you double-click in the description (third) column of an existing todo, you will be able to edit the description. Double clicking on the box (first column) will toggle the todo's ``completed'' status.

You may also pick `Purge Completed` from the right mouse button menu to delete all todo entries that you have marked completed. This is handy for quick cleanup.

As has already been mentioned, the todo list could be a lot friendlier and fancier, and we plan for it to be so. If you have any suggestions for what you would like to see in the todo list, please e-mail the authors.
