Ahhhh!!! Gmail changed their labels and now I have a HUGE list of my labels cause it isn’t grouping them anymore.

HELP!

Weird fact. From my laptop (Macbook, OS-X 10.4, Firefox 3.5 RC3) I get the

“There is no information to show.
Please ensure your labels are configured correctly for use with GTDInbox.”

message as Michael does. From my office computer (Linux, Firefox 3.5 RC3) everything works perfectly. Labels are of course the same in both cases (same gmail account). Tried uninstalling and reinstalling on laptop but didn’t help.

Hi Michael,

The ones recognised by default are,
S/Next Action
S/Action
S/Waiting On
S/Some Day

Andy,

Thanks – I now realize what happened. I had rename my Statuses to match those created by the GTD add-in for Outlook that I bought (e.g., S/@Action, S/@Next Action, @Waiting For, etc.).

I’ve renamed those to S/Action, S/Next Action, S/Waiting On and now see them in the Dashboard.

What are all the standard names for the statuses? Is there a standard name for the Someday folder? Right now I have S/Someday. Is that correct?

Thanks again!

Hi Michael,

What prefixes are you using for Statuses? Is it the default S/ (e.g. S/Action)?

As GTDInbox 3.0 does not have a Preference dialog (coming very very soon!), it cannot cope with non-standard label prefixes and default names.

If you are using regular Status labels, shoot me an email and we’ll dig deeper.

For the last couple of updates to this add-on, everything’s been working fine, except for the Dashboard. When I click on the Dashboard link, the pop-up window comes up, displaying only the following message:

“There is no information to show.
Please ensure your labels are configured correctly for use with GTDInbox.”

My labels are configured properly. They were configured automatically from previous versions of the add-on. Everything else seems to be working fine.

I noticed someone else above mention that their dashboard also is not appearing. Anybody have any idea what the problem might be? Are there conflicts with other add-ons, such as Better Gmail 2, or Remember The Milk?

Running it on 3.0.1.1 on two computers and it is running perfectly. Everything looks great; can’t wait to see how this continues to progress. The Dashboard is now saving a great deal of time. This is the most “productive” version yet!
Thanks

Just discovered that this trick reported by Daniel on alpha7:

@Wibbler – @Andy pointed out above that the GTDInbox only works with ui=2 in the address line, so the workaround for this one is to manually type the numeral 2 in place of the default 1 in the address bar -
eg. https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox or http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1#inbox
becomes
https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=2#inbox or http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2#inbox.

After you type the address, press enter and you should be fine.

works for Alpha8, too.
However the dashboard is not still there…
