archive.txt vs done.txt

[kmf]

Just wanted to know what is the standard?

I'm seeing different implementations using different file names. Is it part of a published standard?

The default todo.cfg comes shipped with three defaults:

export TODO_FILE="$TODO_DIR/todo.txt"
export DONE_FILE="$TODO_DIR/done.txt"
export REPORT_FILE="$TODO_DIR/report.txt"

My guess is they have customized their DONE_FILE variable. Of the detailed information at todotxt/todo.txt, I could not find any specific mention for other file names. I personally haven't come across archive.txt so I wouldn't know if it's a part of a different "convention" of sorts.

Thanks for the answer @hyperupcall
