Better synchronisation with todo.txt
Hello, I've been using Taskcoach for about a year now, and I am very enthusiastic. I do miss a good android app, but todo.txt touch is better than nothing. I understand that a full android taskcoach is not possible, so i would like to ask to make the synchronization with todo.txt a better one. Two suggestions:
- Automatically precede the categories with + or @ when exporting in todo.txt format (the choice for + or @ could be an option in the properties of the category), and omitting the + or @ sign when importing from todo.txt
- Define name and location of automatically created todo.txt type file when closing taskcoach
These two extras would strongly improve integration with todo.txt touch, so please consider it. Keep on the good work!

Scratch this. Categories that *start* with '+' or '@' are exported. Same remark though, exporting all categories wouldn't be wise in my opinion. But we may mark categories to be exported as projects or contexts differently, when this mechanism is implemented:

For categories, there is already something. Create two top-level categories named "+" and "@". Every subcategory of one of those will be exported. I think it's better to keep the context/project concepts separate from general Task Coach categories.
As for the file, as the auto import/export is a global setting and would need to move to the actual task file (you don't want to export all your task files to the same .txt), it's a bit more difficult. I'll see what I can do.
