  1. Small suggestion:
    - is it possible to name the window with the subject of the task (exemple for T1: Edit task T1), useful in the window menu to select the right task when many are opened?
    - is it possible to name the task panel with full task path like in tasks list (exemple for MainT including SubT: MainT -> SubT), useful when a subject of a subtask is generic to many main tasks?
    Many thanks.

  3. Actually there's only start (with submenu) and stop a task.
    But very often I only have to pause a task for a while and to continue it directly after a break.
    It's tedious to start this task again by surfing through submenus or opening the main window.

  4. I would like to be able to get a breakdown of the time I have worked on various tasks. And since I create a "root" task for each client, I could see how much time to bill :)

  5. When looking at the Calendar view, it would be nice to support the tree view as well as sorting by other fields as is done in the Task view

  6. I would love to see a option which allows me change the task square map -view from budget to priority.
    This is because i to not use budget informtation at all but the square view is a much better visual overview which tasks are high priority tasks and which not. Now I use budget to affort this and have to set priorities too what is a little bit confusing and generates errors.

  7. Maybe the other TaskCoach users are disguised robots that always remember to stop their effort tracking. Unfortunately I'm not one of those:-(

    This feature would make TC display a dialog after the computer is inactive for 10 minutes. The dialog would say something like "Your computer is inactive for 10min, would you like to stop tracking the effort?". Three options would be presented:
    1) Stop using the time when the computer became inactive.
    2) Stop using the current time.
    3) Continue tracking

    These options cover the case of forgetting to stop the task, of recording the time of a meeting,…

    Use cntrl-T to start tracking selected task.

    There’s also cntrl-E to do the same without stopping already tracked efforts and opening the effort window.

    The same command (cntrl-shift-T) works for stopping and restarting the last tracked task.

    There are buttons and contextual menus and regular action menus for all these things.

    Finally, you might want to vote for this:

  9. I would like to print out my task list excluding MAJOR completed tasks (but including sub-cat. tasks for major tasks uncompleted).

    Other software allows me to create two lists (Main and Archive). When I complete a task I can move them to Archive so I don't lose them but I can actually print my activities.

  10. If you have many remainders it will much better, if the default "snooze time" is not "no snooze". If the default snooze time is for example 18 hours, then you can't forgot an remainder by too fast clicking on the ok button.

  12. Is it possible to add a tasktype en contactsname when adding to ta task or subtask.

    Tasktypes are:
    -Telephone
    -Mail
    -Meeting
    -Write
    -Design
    -Check

    -etc.

    With an option to filter on contacts and/or tasktype you can plan your contacts what to discuss and see for the day what kind of activity (like designing) you to do list consists of.

  15. It would be nice if I could just mouse over the main task list plane and scroll using the wheel without having to click in it to get the focus first.

  16. could be interesting to be able to export or print the description and the text of the notes.

    May be with a view with the whole info of a task, including the text of the notes and the description.

    Or may be using the notes view for that purpose.

    The description can be printed and exported. Just make the description column visible. NB: there’s a bug where long descriptions will not be printed/exported completely but abbreviated with “…”. This bug will be fixed in the next release of Task Coach.

  17. It would be very helpful if we could filter/search the display, especially in the notes. I often need to look back at the notes to look up details. Also, incorporating Regular Expressions would be fantastic.

  18. I would like to be able to select multiple tasks, bring up the edit function, and have all fields available -- but have any changes mass edit all selected tasks.

    Currently, if several tasks are selected, choosing edit function brings up the tasks one at a time for editing.
