  1. Folders and tasks are intermingled, with no way that I can find to separate them. Folders are not actionable, and I don't need to see them except when adding tasks. It would be great to be able to filter out folders so only tasks display.

  3. Task Coach is a dynamic project. There are many delivery versions. A "check update" and a "download and install latest version" options somewhere in main menu bar may be very useful.

  4. I used Task Coach for a couple of weeks now, and the data is becoming bigger every day (300 tasks, 43 categories, 50 notes). When I click on a category in the Category View, it sometimes takes a couple of seconds before I see the subset tasks for that category.

  6. If a task is having its effort tracked and the PC is idle for a user-configured time period, task coach should pop up a warning to either 1. Continue tracking effort, 2. Stop tracking effort at the timeout time, 3. start tracking a new effort. So if I go to lunch and forget to stop tracking effort for a task, when I return Task Coach has reminded me of that ....

  8. Instead of having only drop-down list for choosing the month of a due date, for example, it would be quicker to navigate with arrow keys.

    Additionally, hitting "T" could jump the date to today, and hitting "N" in the time could jump to now.

    Otherwise, if the month, day, year, hour, minutes are all understood as separate fields, then up/down arrow keys could be used to change the entry and left/right could be used to move between the fields.

    We have fully implemented this request. It will be available in the new v. 1.3.21!

    There’s additional features to the new date/time picker also. “s” for start of day “S” (capital, i.e. with the shift key) for start of work day, and e / E for end.

    Cheers,
    Aaron

  9. Quite impressed but the amount of clicking should be drastically reduced. Also visually impaired people would love you to make TC steerable by keyboard.

    Thank you!

  10. When creating subtasks is desirable that they get the same categories as they parent, using his parent as a template. If I am doing some task A to Mr.Ed (a categorie: person -> Mr.Ed ) and it has 50 subtasks is a pain in the ass to remenber to mark the categorie "person -> Mr.Ed" on all these sub tasks, better if I have to mark only the new categories the subtasks may have and his parent not.

  12. Add an alarm/scheduling mechanism (reminder) to TC as I am forced to use an external program and I imagine it would be handy if this alarm or scheduler is integrated into the program itself.
    Your program is remarkable nonetheless!

  13. When "brainstorming" the creation of multiple tasks whe don´t care if they are parent, child, or sibling of others, so I create all they as parent. Now, when I start ordering the tasks some of they must be a sub-task of another and the only way to put they as a subTask is manually creating all task, again, as a subtask, then deleting the old one. It would be so easy and simle if I could just drag and drop getting it from root and putting as a subtask of another task.

  14. Thunderbird's calendar program (and others) support the newer iCalendar file format. By adding support for this export format it should provide the ability for users to view their tasks in a calendar format without making huge changes to the task coach program. (by using calendar tools to do the UI for that mode.) Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_with_iCalendar_support

  16. A task should automatically display the due date of the most urgent sub-task. That way you don't have to open the list of sub-tasks to check.

  17. I think there should be a smoother way to re-order tasks. I'm a bit long-winded here, but I do think finding a way to address this would be a major improvement for taskcoach...

    Here's how i see the problem: Task dependency (not yet implemented) partially address this, but falls short if you plan to tackle subtasks from more than one parent task in the short term. Priority is helpful, but falls short in that you have to manually go in and increase or decrease tasks one at a time to get them into an order of what you would like…

  18. Hi,

    Currently, when 2 (or more) users are opening the same file, a change one
    made is not seen by the other, until he re-opens the application.

    A "push tier" is one possible solution to pass changes to the other users.

    Best regards,
    Kobi

  19. I'd like to be able to select a (sub)task over any number of weeks and to see at once how much time I have spent on it so far.

    This information is viewable in many ways, from effort viewer to the time spent column. If you have a specific request about the exact way this is shown, please add that separately.

  20. I would liketo be able to set how much effort is required per task - then tasks appear as on the list depending on their lead time - rather than at a fixed X days notice.
