Ok, now the expansions are working and the list view isn't truncated (but I see why it truncates three characters now).
Now the only problem I'm getting is that only done actions (those with +) get listed in the List view. and nothing seems to show up in the Active List view.
So if I've got a file that contains the following three lines:
- WEB Create Stylesheet - WEB Write email script + WEB Write template
Then only the third line will appear in the list view and even it won't appear in the Active list view.
I'm using the following contexts.gtd file:
* PROJECT|p|* ${1:new project}|*|990099 - TASK|t|- TASK ${1:new task}|TASK|006600 - COMPUTER|m|- COMPUTER ${1:computer task}|COMPUTER|660000 - EMAIL|e|- EMAIL ${1:person} re: ${0:subject}|EMAIL|996600 - CALL|c|- CALL ${1:person} re: ${2:subject} ${0:#}|CALL|FF6600 - WEB|we|- WEB ${1:new webwork}|WEB|00000f - READ|r|- READ ${1:book or article}|READ|f00000 - ERRANDS|er|- ERRANDS ${1:new task}|ERRANDS|011fff - SOMEDAY|sd|- SOMEDAY ${1:new task}|SOMEDAY|02222f - SCHOOL|s|- SCHOOL ${1:new task}|SCHOOL|0000ff - CHORES|ch|- CHORES ${1:task}|CHORES|0222ff - OTHER|oo|- other|OTHER|00ffff - BUY|b|- BUY ${1:new purchase}|BUY|6699CC ^ INFO|i|^ INFO ${1:new info}|^|336633 -> DELEGATE|d|-> DELEGATE|->|336633 <- WAIT|w|<- WAIT|<-|336633 + DONE|d|DONE|+|666666

Duh. I just saw the obvious reference to the support folder for the new contexts.gtd. I'll try it out and let you know if that fixes things.

Adam -
Good catches. Please see inline comments... and thanks for the feedback.

I'm not having the issue the other Mike was having. The tab commands work well, as does choosing them from the menu.
I'm kind of stumped here, but I'll keep trying to figure it out.
I am unclear on how the new contexts.gtd file works. In my list views, I'm getting truncated context names. "PUTER" for COMPUTER and the like. And none of them have matches. But
The way the list views work in this version is to truncate the first three characters, which may not be the best idea...
Perhaps a request for functionality: it seems that typing the context shortcut plus enter should now insert " - CONTEXT action text" rather than "CONTEXT action text". Otherwise you have to add the state by hand. Or perhaps typing the state, then a space, then the context abbreviation plus enter should insert the state with the desired context. The latter would allow you to choose a state when choosing a context.
It does the "- CONTEXT text" as coded. When you took the "@"s away did you add a space (and leave the dash)?
As far as default state, I think it should always be a dash, a caret (INFO) or a * (PROJECT). I see DELEGATED, WAIT, etc. to be follow-on states.
Either that, or add a keyboard shortcut for the "undone" state that one can tab after establishing the context and action. Come to think of it, that might be more useful in general use as well.
I'll modify UNWAIT to be UNDO STATE CHANGE.
So a couple of bugs, but I'm looking forward to using the new version of states.

You can change the contexts in the contexts.gtd file to whatever you want - I just tried it without the "@"s and it works fine. Just remember to remove both the "@"s in each line. GTD2 is oriented on the characters at the beginning of the lines, rather than the actual words.
Any other issues with the new bundle?

Mike,
Looks interesting. I'll try to try it out before next week. I am fond of the capital letter convention for contexts rather than @, but I should certainly adapt.
I have a little code that could add inbox processing to the bundle, and I'm pretty sure it will work with the new form with one minor adjustment. I'll send it under separate cover.

I have added a new version of the GTD bundle to the repository, called (for now) GTD2. It is based on a syntax described at <http://patrickrhone.com/journal/archives/ 2006/05/175.html>. Also, I have done a quick write-up of the new system at http://panalaska.org/geek/. It uses a new contexts.gtd file, which I have added to the Support folder in the bundle. Based on user feedback, I will merge the GTD and GTD2 bundles in a week or so. Please let me know if there is any interest in this bundle. Thanks!
