Hi Rafal, Thanks for reporting the bug. I analysed it and these are my toughts about it: The manpage specifies: If no database exists, the "add" command will create it automatically (in the current directory, unless the TDL_DATABASE environment is set, in which case this specifies the path to use).
This is the point where "tdl" fails. The auto-create behaviour has a bug. However, if you run the command "create", tdl works as expected, you can use it as you wish. To remove "lock" problems, remove the file .tdldb.lock that was created automatically. About the lockfile, it is created in the same directory of the database file. It should not be a global lockfile (home directory), since some users (like me) open several tdl at the same time, each one using a diferent directory/database/lockfile. I'm working on this bug, as a workaround, please create the database with the "create" command before adding new tasks. - changing the bug severity to "normal", since the program can be used as expected if you create the database first. It is not completly unusable.
