.B Q: The undo.data file gets very large - do I need it?
|

You need it if you want the undo capability. But if it gets large, you can
|
||||
certainly truncate it to save space, just be careful to delete lines from the
|
||||
top of the file, up to and including a separator '---'. Note that it does not
|
||||
slow down task, because task never reads it until you want to undo. Otherwise
|

task only appends to the file.

When you run a report (such as "list"), task assigns the numbers before it
|
||||
displays them. Those numbers are good until the next report. For example, you
|

can do this:
|
||||
displays them. For example, you can do this:
|
||||
|

$ task list
|

$ task do 12
|

$ task add Pay the rent
|
||||
$ task delete 31
|

|

Those id numbers are good until the next report is run. This is because task
|
||||
performs a garbage-collect operation on the pending tasks file when a report is
|
||||
run. This keeps the pending tasks file small, and therefore keeps task fast.
|
||||
The completed data file is the one that grows unbounded with use, but that one
|
||||
isn't accessed as much, so it doesn't matter as much. So in all, the ID number
|
||||
resequencing is about efficiency.

Those id numbers are then good until the next report is run. This is because

task performs a garbage-collect operation on the pending tasks file when a

report is run, which moves the deleted and completed tasks from the pending.data
|

file to the completed.data file. This keeps the pending tasks file small, and

therefore keeps task fast. The completed data file is the one that grows
