UPDATE: latest version
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This product uses the Remember The Milk API but is not endorsed or
certified by Remember The Milk.
Ubuntu 12.04 is out, so I decided to update my lens for remember the milk to work in Unity 5.
Actually, the lens uses singlet, by Michael Hall (many thanks for your work), so the transition to Unity 5 has been flawless.
While I was there, I made some minor improvements (e.g. the due dates are now printed in a prettier format) and added a feature to sort tasks.
As usual, I screencasted the lens at work:
If you want to try it, you can get the source code here on gitHub.
I wrote two simple scripts to install and launch the lens. You can find instructions on the README file.

So I installed via your instrcutions(as best as I can!) and I get this error trying to execute the launch.sh (already did the install.sh):
sudo ./launch.sh
(process:19326): libunity-WARNING **: unity-scope-factory.vala:78: Unable to search for scopes: No such file or directory

Hi, thank you for trying the lens!
I am getting that WARNING too, but that shouldn’t be relevant.
Apart from that, did the lens work before you CTRL-C’d it?
You should let it run in a terminal (with the warning message) and open the dash to see if something appears :).
Ah, I forgot to say that you shouldn’t run the launch.sh script as supersuser, just execute
./launch.sh
without sudo :)!
Installed the lens on Ubuntu 12.04. The lens appeared in the dash. But if I run ./launch.sh and then open the lens, “Search Tasks” is in progress for a few seconds and then nothing happens. If I open the lens without prior running launch.sh, it shows “Authorization required. Check your browser…” but nothing happens in a browser.
I’m connected through proxy, if it matters.
Some questions to debug this issue: did you logout after installing the lens? Do you have any errors on the terminal after launching the ./launch.sh script? I wasn’t able to reproduce your issue on Ubuntu 12.10 (fresh install of the lens worked fine). I don’t think the presence of the proxy can cause any problems.
Ah, thank you very much for trying this software :)!
Yes. I did logout after installing lens. After running ./launch.sh in terminal I have only one warning that is not important as you stated in a comment above(
process:5160): libunity-WARNING **: unity-scope-factory.vala:78: Unable to search for scopes: No such file or directory
After some time I get the following output

I have zsh set as system shell. Tried running script explicitly by bash with the same result. Yesterday met other problems and it turned out that RTM servers were down for some time.
Ah, Thank you very much for this software. It sounds very promising and I’ll try to fix my setup to try it.
i got the same. what to do ?
With Ubuntu 14.10 I have this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/singlet/+bug/1248050.
I have been using KDE lately so I didn’t notice.
I am not sure when I can work on this…
