Bug Description

Binary package hint: tasque

When I start Tasque for the first time and choose the "Remember the Milk" backend, it needs to authorize the connection. Firefox reports that it is attempting to pass "www.%u.com" as the URL for connection. (There seems to be no "preferences" dialog in the current version, so I'm unable to try switching from "Local File" to "Remember the Milk" later.)

This is a terrible bug as it affects users immediately upon their FIRST use of Tasque. I encountered it within about 30 seconds (literally) of installation.

It says to me, "Woah, the devs REALLY aren't paying any attention." Coming here and seeing that it has been open for almost a year doesn't install much faith.

I looked at the code a bit - looks like a fundamental failure to get the right URL. Shouldn't be too hard to fix for somebody with a dev environment.

Is there a plan for getting this fixed?

One workaround which worked well for me is to edit /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http entry in gconf-editor, and replace "%u" by "%s".
