Todo.txt should save task notes and background colors as well
Todo.txt doesn't currently save the notes visible when selecting a task or the background colors for the individual lists.
Example
Current todo.txt file format:
@Testing
Some important task @Testing due:2017-11-22
Some other task @Testing
Proposed todo.txt file format:
@Testing #0080FF
Some important task @Testing due:2017-11-22 note:"Some useful note here"
Some other task @Testing note:"Some useful note with multiple lines\nSecond line\nThird line\nAnd so on"
(Where #0080FF
is an HTML color code, and note:"[some text here]"
is the note text (\n
defines a new line).)
