lukew: Well, this is a long shot but I haven't found the answer is the documentation and so, I've once again come to the GOG for help.

I discovered a Todo list app called Todo.txt last night and I already really like it. I'm using the CLI version with Cygwin on Windows and everything is fine apart from the one thing I really want.

I would like the CLI version that I'm using to sync with my Dropbox. I thought that would be a simple case of changing the todo directory path in the .cfg file to point to my Dropbox folder. However, that does not seem to work. No matter what path I change it to, it always creates the todo.txt file in my home directory in Cygwin.

Can anyone help please?

Pidgeot: I don't use this program, but if it's running in Cygwin, then you need to make sure the path is adapted accordingly - because Cygwin emulates a Unix-y environment, and I'm don't think it does conversion.

If your Dropbox folder is located in C:\Users\lukew\Dropbox, then the .cfg file needs to use /cygdrive/c/Users/lukew/Dropbox - that is, you need to replace \ with /, and you need to replace X: with /cygdrive/x.

If you have any spaces in your user name, you probably also need to throw quotes around it.

Pidgeot: Yeah, there's your problem - the # means the line is treated as a comment.

You need to remove that character, and remove the other "export TODO_DIR" line.
