  3. The .tsk file is uploaded to (downloaded from) FTP server each time it is opened (closed) if needed. The FTP parameters are indicated in the preferences.
    So I can do my jobs at work and find an updated TC list at home or wherever I am, update it and find it updated the next time I'm at work.

    While this is a reasonable request, we suggest that users who want to have full control (not rely on third-parties like DropBox or Ubuntu One) run the FLOSS software OwnCloud on your own server (http://owncloud.org/)

    If anyone still wants to contribute a patch to handle FTP stuff otherwise, it would be welcomed.

  4. It might be nice if the Effort view have sort function by each column and a filter function for Categories.

  5. Even when autosave is activated Task Coach asks me if I want to save my changes as soon as I try to quit the program.

  6. Right now you have to go into preferences to change to tabbed view. This should be a feature under the "View" pull-down. A hot key would be usefull as well as a "button" atthe top of the TaskCoach bar at the top of the app

  7. I suggest a properties view where you can directly edit the properties of a task. I have seen this feature in the Windows application "ToDoList" - have a look at the bottom of the screenshot where you can directly edit the task properties:

    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/todolist2.aspx

    The properties view should include at least:
    * Task name
    * Task description
    * Task dates
    * Task category
    * People involved in task (if you implement that in Task Coach)

    Task Coach is the best ToDo list application for Linux but that feature is missing in my daily work. I pay 25 € for that…

  8. Add ability to mark task for followup. This would help in better managing tasks that need action from someone else

  9. A clock view would be great. You could set up a task and give yourself a certain amount of time to get it done. The timer would buz to let you know to stop. This could be great for time management. Say you wanted to write three articles for your website today, just give yourself 90 minutes to get it done.

  10. I often have to create a task by copy'n'paste text from other programs (e.g. the JIRA bug number). It would be usefull to have the ability to create tasks by selecting an task in task coach and then press CTRL+V to create a subtask on the selected task with subject as the content of the clipboard

  11. It would be helpfull to have the opportunity to modify the text of an action or a note. This in goal to inlight some words, put some words in red, underline them. Like that we can use the note that we wrote like a minute report for a meeting.

  12. I know people have had performance problems w/ 1000+ tasks, but I've experienced sluggish performance from the start, or at least after a dozen tasks & categories added. Even clicking "New Task" results in a 2-second delay before the "New Task" window appears. (I use an older Tyan-based workstation, but still, with 2GB RAM and two separate 1.2GHz Athlon MP CPUs, it should be fine for Task Coach.)

  14. I have tasks which are recurring eg.: monthly on the last or before the last workday. Right now the recurrence is day number based, so it would be nice to have more abstract options as in my example.
    So possibility to count from the end of months/years, take consideration workdays/weekends as option to count (I have seen a feature request for that already).
    more detailed examples:
    a.) first tuesday or thursday or the month(quarter/year), which is at least the fourth workday of the month(quarter/year)
    b.) the n-th (work)day before the last (work)day of the month(quarter/year)
    c.) 15th of a month…

  16. The notes interface requires the user to enter in a note through a 'creation tool' interface. This is very time consuming and unintuitive. It should work similar to how it looks like it works, it looks like a notepad, it should behave like one.

  17. I want to save all tasks and all related categories. However if I have gategories which I won't use anymore I would like to hide them so the category listing will become shorter.

    I support this idea, but we aren’t go to specifically act on this request.

    I suggest you vote for this other request to allow hiding tasks by category:
    http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/563259-show-all-but-selected-categories

    If you just want to shorten your category list, make a category called “archived” (or make it “zarchive” to make it show up at the end of the list alphabetically), and then put unneeded categories as subcategories to that and collapse the composite. This would work along with the request linked above to also hide the tasks that go with those categories.

    For exporting the tasks for archive to never see them again, here’s a way:
    Select all the tasks to archive and choose “Save selected…” from the file menu. Then you can delete the tasks from your current file and still have the data available for reference. You can merge several exported sets into a combined archive if you like,…

    This request isn’t clear, and I’m guessing the current updated version is functional. Please add more specific request based on current TC version if you still have a concern.

  19. Google calender is ideal for us, but task management like taskcoach is fantastic, cloud version should be available with one important utility, if i set date & time than that task should be sync with google calander .

  20. It happens quite often, I leave of switch off my computer and TaskCoach keeps running.
    An Idle detection would be great in such cases. If the idle time is passed, I would like the following choises:

    1. Keep on tracking the task (including the idle time)
    2. Keep on tracking the task from now on
    3. Stop tracking
    4. Select another task

    Thanks in advance!
