Multiple lists in separated widgets

[Ninjiner]

It would be a nice feature if I could create multiple widgets for multiple lists.
I can add more lists in the same widget, but not in an other separate widget. (It only duplicates the content of my other lists).

Ah yeah, was wondering when someone would ask for this. I'll need to think on if I should make this the default option or not.

In the short term, open up

~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.todolist/contents/ui/NoteItem.qml

Then change the following line from

property string noteId: 'todolist'

to

property string noteId: 'todolist_' + plasmoid.id

That should* work. Restart plasma using killall plasmashell; kstart5 plasmashell (or relog) to test your changes. Note that you might need to copy the contents of the current ~/.local/share/plasma_notes/todolist file to your new todolist_123 or whatever the plasmoid.id ends up being. The new todolist_123 probably won't be created after you restart, so add a bogus item to the widget, and it should save to file, creating todolist_123.

First of all many thanks. That totally solved it.
The only "problem" was, that it removed all my previous tasks... (but of course I saved them before I made the change :-) )

I think it would be great if you could choose in the options if it should mirror all tasks in all the widgets or if they all should be independent.

@Zren Would it be ok for you to reopen this and add a feature like this? I'd really like to see the option to be able to place two widgets in the panel with entirely different lists.

I just got bitten by the one-single list limitation.

I assumed when I created a new Plasma Activity and added the ToDo List there, it would be a separate list.

Should I open a separate issue for per-Activity widgets or would my use case be solved with this issue here too?
