  2. This would enable us to better trace the status of subjects and tasks by entering notes which would be sorted and marked for creation date.

    This is also useful when creating an inbox for the GTD methodology, and it would be nice to sort newly entered tasks by the creation date.

  3. For instance, I'm eating lunch. It's under my non-work time. I want to know when my hour is up.

  4. I would like to be able to mark completed task with a line through it just like I would cross it off a paper list. Right now it just changes color. You might want to make this optional but I'm betting if it was available most people would use it.

  5. Task coach should start at system startup. I think this is not working in winxp professional. It should stay minimized on closing task coach window. It should have same or better evert/tass reminder and recurrence functionality as essential PIM. check out Essential PIM software.

    First, please don´t combine different feature requests. Second, two of your requests already work. When installing, you get the option of automatically starting Task Coach when you log in to Windows. Also, you can control how Task Coach starts (minimized, not minimized, or how it was when you last closed it) by means of the preferences.

    Thanks, Frank

  6. It would be great to have a "done" button in the task reminder window.

  7. Your tip says this is alpha. I disagree. I think it is well developed and excellent. So be proud!!

    I *would like to be able to replicate an effort. For example, I do pretty much everything at work each day as far as task, times, and so forth. So it would be fun to copy and effort and paste it four times for the week, then hit each to edit the description.

    No biggie, as I use XML in a text editor or in [XML Copy Editor] to do just this, but for folks not that acquainted with XML it…

  8. Feature Requests item #1959184 Submitted By: Rahul Basu (rahul_basu)
    It would be great to be able to view all tasks and deadlines on a single calendar. What I mean is that besides having a list of tasks, you should be able to see them on a calendar with the start dates and due dates listed.
    Also, this isn't quite on topic, but, it would be good to be able to create one-time events viewable on this calendar (example: meeting with customer, math test, etc.)

  9. A task's start date, end date, and status should be able to change based on its relationship to other task(s). For example, if a task will require 3 days to complete but cannot begin until a preceding task is complete, then the 3 day task should stay in status "inactive" until the preceding task completes, and then Task Coach automatically changes the dependent task's status to "active" and sets the start and end date accordingly based on the user-provided duration for the task (i.e. 3 days).

    Task Coach should be able to provide estimated start and end dates for all…

  10. It is not possible to use dark colors for background because the text color remains black.

    It would be great if there would be a color option for the text or the color gets adjusted automatically to get white characters on an dark-blue background.

  11. I'm missing a feature which is part of Outlook's Task Scheduler.

    When marking a task with a given period for recurrency as done i.e. completed the task should be rescheduled based on the date of completion.

  13. TaskCoach should show a popup if there are no tasks running during the 'working period'. If the PC is not idle and the it is during the working hours, a tip should be shown next to the icon in the taskbar or a popup window should be shown.

  14. If you have a high number of tasks in the tool and don't mark special categories or other filters it takes a long time till the overview is loaded.
    This should be much faster!

  17. It would be very interresting that this functionality allows to merge the efforts of the different tasks from one .tsk file to the current .tsk file.
    Thank you very much for the very goog tool you build !

    This functionality already is there. When you merge a taskfile, the effort is merged too.

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean. In that case, open a new feature request and try to explain what you want with more words.

    Thanks, Frank

  18. Please allow specifying the start time as well as the start date for a
    task. Tasks would remain color coded as future tasks until both the start
    date and time have been reached.

    That allows graceful handling of things like tasks that need to be done
    daily at 2:00, or every Wednesday at 3:00.
    Adding an end time allows for handling of tasks due at a certain time not just "today".

    This is an expansion of a feature request that was closed:

  19. When I am editing a task or a note and hit escape, the dialog disappears without prompting me, losing whatever data has been entered in it. This is bad form, as you can lose a lot of info if you hit that key accidentally. It should ask for a confirmation or save before exiting. Also, an "apply" button to save without closing might be good.
