i use the \reminder command quite often and find it awesome. With that said the Apple Reminders app is a bit too simple so I started using Good Task (which os great for structuring and priotizing tasks)
however an interesteing discovery: when I click the agenda link in Apple Reminders it takes me back to the correct note in agenda wihtout problems but when I click th elink in Good Tasks (same link) it only opens Agenda (does not take it to the right note)
This also happens when I create the reminder on one device and then open the link in Apple Reminders on the other device without first opening Agenda and syncing. Clicking the link again opens the linked note.
Thanks Peter, and this one has a concrete explanation.
When Agenda creates a reminder, it writes the link into the reminder’s notes field rather than its URL field. We would prefer the URL field, but Apple’s own bug there means it does not survive being saved, so the notes field is where it has to live. Apple’s Reminders app detects the link in that text and opens it in full, which is why it works there.
Good Task is reading the same reminder, but it is evidently not passing the whole link through when you tap it. The part that identifies the specific note gets dropped somewhere along the way, so Agenda receives an instruction to open with nothing telling it where to go, and you land in the app generally. Nothing to fix on your side, and nothing we can change from ours either, since it is their handling of the text.
One thing that may work: if Good Task will let you see the raw notes text of the reminder, copying the whole agenda:// line and opening it directly should take you to the right note. Worth a try to confirm that is what is going on.
Roms, yours is a different one. If the note has not synced to that device yet, the link has nothing to point at, so the first tap opens Agenda, that sync happens, and the second tap then works. Annoying, but at least it sorts itself out.
Nice, that is a good find. Selecting the whole link and opening it from the right click menu gets around Good Task’s handling of the text entirely, so you are going straight to the note the way it was intended.
