  1. It is useful to add a time presetting for reminder time when task is recurrence. It would be better, that new reminder time = time presetting when task marked as completed.

    As it is now, when recurrent task marked as completted, then new reminder time = old reminder time + snooze1 time + snooze2 time + snooze...

  3. with a Task selected in the Task Pane, I would expect the Delete button on the keyboard would delete the task. Perhaps delete confirmation could be a default, with the ability to suppress the confirmation and delete the item as soon as the delete button is pressed. Undo would still be there for folks that have turned off confirmation yet have delete regret.

  4. How about different view on the tasks? The category filter is already very good. But I want a view, where I can select my tasks in process. The rest is either done or backlog.

  5. MM/DD/YYYY is extremely confusing for me. Suggestion is to have option to change time format. (for example: DD/MM/YYYY)

  6. The toolbar effort button now is inactive if the start date is in the future or not set. If the effort button were active for inactive tasks, the user could initiate effort and if unset, the start date could be set to the date of the initial effort for that task.

  7. In our world of multitasking, it would be nice if multiple tasks could be tracked at one.

  8. I am working on 2 projects and i'm currently focussing on 2 subtasks one from each project but for every change in focus on task, its too cumbersome to stop tracking effort and starting on the other. please allow to track more than one effort simultaneously. also i agree focussing on one task is better, but world is not so fair.

    This is already possible: start tracking task 1 normally and then select task 2 in the task viewer and using the context menu (right-click) use “New effort…” to create a new effort for task 2. Be sure not to fill in a stop time. Hit OK. Voila: tracking effort for two tasks at the same time.

  9. Along with a hotkey (keyboard shortcut) to clear (de-select) all category checkboxes, please provide keyboard shortcuts for all existing actions, settings, etc. And, finally, create a "Keyboard Shortcuts" section in the Help file. (I love your application's features & interface; I'm totally dependent upon it now.)

  10. When I'm remembered of a task i almost forget about clicking on start tracking efforts, especially if is an off-computer task and/or an urgent one. Since the New Effort button on the task edit dialog does not work, the reminder shortcut would make it more usable

  11. It could be show in the software interface and in exporting options. It could be very helpful to compute a total time instead of adding all the subtasks effort times. Thank you for this great application!

  14. Task Coach assumes that Monday is the first day of the week for the
    purposes of showing "Effort per week". Our work week actually starts
    Sunday & ends Saturday. It'd be nice if one could configure the first day
    of the week.

  15. It would be really nice if it was easy to take a new task and make it a subtask of another or elevate a subtask to the level of a task.

    I couldn't figure out how this could be done

  16. I have many tasks where I have multiple "efforts" applied. I need to include detailed billing for my clients so it would be great if the export will actually export all the details. This would make it a lot easier to produce an invoice in something like excel, work, or quick books.

    Task Coach exports whatever is visible in the viewer you are exporting. So make the columns visible that you want to export, sort in the order that you want to export, filter if you don’t want to export all efforts or tasks and then export.

  17. I use color-coding and font size to distinguish between importance of each task (e.g. blue for an idea while red for some really bad urgent things to do). Being able to create a list of font color/size presets and then quickly apply them with one click on a task would be a time saver.
    Best if it was saved per-file. Would be really cool if I didn't have to open task properties window to change it (just like it is possible to change task priority)
