  1. If this could be a field that is emailed as well, it would be VERY useful. While Task Coach is really designed for managing one individual's tasks, I am finding it useful to manage my direct reports, but it takes a lot of manual effort to do so the way it works now. Even so, it is still far better than doing it entirely manually.

  3. It should be possible to define a default setting for data-export. I know that every visible column is exported but in my "standard view" I don't want to have all the columns which I would like to export. Changing the view for every export is quite annoying.

    You can open multiple viewers of the same type. So, open another task viewer, put it in the right settings, rename it (using View→Rename viewer) e.g. “Tasks for export” and you’re done. You can even close the viewer after export because Task Coach remembers settings for closed viewers.

  4. I think, it's a good idea to make a effort as paid

  7. The colored circles for almost-due and completed tasks are indistinguishable except upon very close scrutiny. I suspect other colorblind users would have similar problems. Making either (but not both) the green or amber circles a deeper, more saturated color would improve recognition. Making the circles change color with the selected text color would be another option, though probably harder to implement.

    Approximately 10% of males are at least partially colorblind! Decreased ability to distinguish red and green (and oranges) due to lowered red sensitivity is one of the most common types. Colors that are desaturated or very close in brightness…

  9. For example, a total time section in the status bar when selecting tasks in the effort view to easily see how many time you spend for a specified set of tasks.

    These calculations should be for all tasks when none (or maybe when just one) are selected but show for just selected when multiple are selected

  12. I used to update my tasks with their last status at the beginning of the description field. So a quick look on the tasks browser show me a good overview of my tasks status.
    But when description are getting longer and longer, browsing becomes a nightmare even if I enable the popup descriptions.
    Is it possible to set a maximum height of the description aera, let say 4 lines of text ?
    Frank had proposed : "I do see one other option and that is to teach the widget that displays the task tree to put long texts in a…

  13. Allow an option to switch time entry to standard, 12-hour mode instead of military time. 24-hour time may be intuitive for soldiers and developers, but it's a chore for normal users.

  14. After I complete a task, the completed task remains highlighted but it does not have focus. So I can't just use the arrow keys to highlight the next task I want to address. I have to use the mouse to click on a task in the list first. I'd like to see the focus stay somewhere in the task list.

    As for where to put the focus, It might make most sense to focus on the next task in the list rather than following the completed task since it's unlikely the user needs to interact with that task any further.

  16. Currently the day and date scroll off the view panel when scrolling tasks. It would be more useful if only the tasks scrolled.

  17. I like the suggestions of storing the Task database file on a remote location, but I also would like to merely specify where to store it locally. I boot to different OS/versions in the same box, and would choose a disk or storage location that is accessible to me regardless of which Login I am using.

  18. I often have completed tasks that I need to display in a black and white printed document. Having a strike through or italicize the completed tasks would help to differentiate them.

  19. I find it useful to have multiple subject types; for example, location (Home, Work, Car, Laptop, etc), who for (Mom, Wife, Friend, Business, etc), and disposition (dislike, like, enjoy [to vary activities throughout a work period]). Right now I do this through symbols in front, but it gets messy. It would be nice if there was a way to set up multiple subject fields for these different contexts.

    Hi Pablo,

    This is already possible: put the task viewer in list mode using the drop down box in the toolbar of the task viewer and then hide composite tasks using the View→ Filter → Hide composite tasks menu item.

    Cheers, Frank
