ToDo list - Archicad free addon

[przemnn]

Hi everyone,

to extend what Archicad can do, I’ve made a simple add-on that keeps a to-do list right inside the project file, in a palette you can dock next to your floor plan.

• Simple and advanced mode (for me simple is enough)
• The list is shared by the whole Teamwork team, so everyone sees the same tasks
• Assign tasks to project members
• Tick tasks off, a “Done” section, and headers to group tasks
• In advanced mode: due dates with a calendar, notes (optionally password-encrypted) and colours by assigned person
• Light and dark theme, 8 languages (English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Danish)

Yes, I know, I know – you could do this with text, schedules or properties… been there, done that. Why not simpler?
It works in Archicad 26, 28, 29 and 30 on Windows and Mac (unfortunately I had no way to test it on a Mac, so your feedback is welcome).
The add-on is free, including for commercial use (MIT licence).

Looking forward to your feedback, and have fun!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing

This looks brilliant!
I'm on Mac but I get this error "The file is either not an Add-On or an outdated one that cannot be used with this Archicad version."

I ran the xattr command via Terminal but Archicad is not keen.
Anyone else on Mac willing to try and give feedback please.

OK, thanks for the feedback. Are you using intel or arm Mac? I was worried to put a Mac version out as I was not able to test it. It might be due to you using Archicad 27. I will try to get a MacOS feedback from more users and then find a solution

I get this message on an Intel Mac, running AC29

Thanks, it seems that compiling addons on Mac is a project itself 🙂

I will try to give it another try with making it as a pkg file. It might be that the file is not actually damaged - MacOS shows this message for add-ons downloaded from the internet that are not notarized by Apple, that as I got to know cost 99$/year.

You may try to unflag a file using terminal - if it doesnt work I will have to stick to Windows until I have a real option to test it.

To unblock it:

1. Click Cancel (not “Move to Trash”).
2. Quit Archicad.
3. Copy TodoList.bundle from the “Archicad 29” folder into the Archicad 29 Add-Ons folder (Applications › GRAPHISOFT › Archicad 29 › Add-Ons).
4. Open Terminal (Applications › Utilities › Terminal).
5. Type xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine (with a space at the end), drag TodoList.bundle from the Add-Ons folder into the Terminal window, and press Enter.
6. Start Archicad 29 again. The palette is under Window › Palettes › To do.

Thats an AI solution. Let me know it if helps, and later I will put it as a pkg file anyway.

Cool, that worked for the Intel Mac. I'll try it later on the silicon Mac.

Thank you!

That looks very useful. Thank you, @przemnn.

Quick question: I don't use teamwork since I'm a solo practitioner. Does this work with local files as well?

[przemnn]

It surely does 🙂

I really like the idea. Did you consider adding the option of attaching a view to the task? That would be a really awesome tool then. 

[przemnn]

It could be possible but won't it make it too much complicated? What would be your purpose to do it?
