Automatic search in parent folders for todo database when current folder lacks one (project like todo)

[anonymous]

Being a git user I'm quite used to the idea of having settings at the 'project' root and the tool will be able to search for it as long as I'm inside that project folder.

Basically what happens is that anytime one would issue the command todo it would search in the current folder for a .todo and if none is found, jump to ../.todo and then ../../.todo until one is found or the root is reached.

A parameter such as 'search-parent' could toggle this behavior.

With this feature one could greatly enhance the support for project driven todo databases instead of global or folder driven.

Thanks for your time and for the great tool

Patch implementing path recursivity on .todo location

[anonymous]

Please consider the attached patch with the optional path recursive feature

Thanks, Renato

This patch works for existing .todo databases but if the option path-recursive is set by default you cannot create databases in the current folder as it will try to look for an existing database all the way till the root and then will (try to) create it there (/.todo).

Distinguishing the create and add processes would be the best way to workaround this.
