**QOwnNotes Taskwarrior** utility script is a tool, that tries to simplify moving tasks between your notes and task entries in [Taskwarrior](http://taskwarrior.org).
# Installation
The recommended way of installing the script is using [QOwnNotes](http://qownnotes.org) script repository (available from `Script settings` under `Scripts` menu). The script is called *Taskwarrior*.
In case you want to modify the script, you may clone `qownnotes/scripts` repository and use `taskwarrior.qml` file directly, loading it as a local script in `Script settings`.
# Usage
## Export (note -> TW)
To export a set of tasks, you need to select text, and then click `Export to Taskwarrior` button (or go to `Scripts` menu for the menu entry). The following rules apply to selected text:
* project names should be formatted as headers, and may be nested
* the tasks are taken only from the unordered list items - lines that are starting with asterisk (*) or minus sign (-)
* any other content will be skipped - any additional comments or empty lines do not matter during the parsing process.
Importing tasks requires listing of projects that tasks will be imported from. When writing a list of projects, please remember about the following rules:
* project names should be formatted as headers, and may be nested
* any other content will be skipped - any additional comments, tasks already written or empty lines do not matter during the parsing process.
* only the tasks from default report will be fetched - usually it means, that only pending tasks are imported
* any metadata of the task are not imported - project name and description are the only thing that are kept.
### Example
Following the example from `Export` section, we want to fetch tasks and import them.
Selected Markdown text:
# Project1
## Subproject2
* task four
## Subproject1
Something written here.
# Project3
# Project2
* older task not in Taskwarrior
will be replaced by:
# Project1
* task one
## Subproject2
* task four
* task four
## Subproject1
* task two
Something written here.
# Project3
# Project2
* task five
* older task not in Taskwarrior
As you can see, tasks are inserted just after the corresponding header. Other lines are not changed, which may result in duplicates (in case the task was already imported some other time, like in `Subproject2`).
