  1. Show Folders as aGreen folder if any of the sub-tasks are active

    It would be great if one could minimise a folder that has tasks below it and get a sense of what is active below it. This would help a lot for those who have fairly long task lists as one could not close all the list down to 1st of 2nd level and get a better overview of where one needs to place emphasis

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/361743-drag-drop-tasks-into-daily-calendar-including-in

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/289031-better-control-over-task-order

    Note the comments on those, however.

    Also, you do not need manual sorting to plan your day, week, month etc. You can add “planned start” to tasks and then hide inactive tasks. They will show up as “late” when the time comes. You can also show the “planned start” column and sort by that. You can also make groups, such as I use a recurring task called “daily” and I put tasks in there marked with planned starts and also some as prerequisites of others, then I set the whole daily task to recur daily and I mark it complete each day. There are further ways to sort also, such as by priority.

    Cheers

  3. Theme-able / skinnable / themes / skins options

    It would be very helpful if color themes were offered for the background colors.

    I use a dark browser therm and overlay Task Coach. It is very hard on the eyes.

    Thanks,

  6. CSV export with different delimiters like ";"

    CSV export is limited to using a comma as delimiter but may texts contain commas which will mess up conversion of CSV to XLS files.

  7. synchronising TaskCoach client sites

    I use Task Coach at different computers (similar to "clients") in the office and at home. I use a *.tsk file in the lokal directory of a Webspace Server (I use ClipBox). This lokal file will be synchronised to the file in the Cloud automatically, if it is changed. This way I start with the newest *.tsk file version, if I open TaskCoach at the other computer.
    Maybe it is a good idea to implement this mechanism directly into TaskCoach without the ClipBox workaround.

    What you’re asking is that Task Coach run some sort of server through which files are synced for all users who choose to use our service. We are not going to do that. Your syncing is not a workaround, it is the standard intended behavior.

    If you think I am missing something else in your request, post a comment and we can revise the request.

    This can be done by simply making a category for “leader” and then tagging tasks appropriately.

    If you want specific things with different people delegated etc. that really won’t work until we eventually have this:

    And we won’t be getting to that soon because it’s very involved and we have much to do first.

    Respectfully,

  11. Bring back old time picker

    I don't like the new time picker because I am no longer able to select the text of the time to copy and paste. I have the need to create new efforts and to make them fit between two other efforts I would copy the end time of one and copy it to the start time of the new effort. Then I would copy the start time of the following effort and paste that to the end time of my new effort. I am no longer able to do this. I tried to use an older version but I got…

    How about a much more reasonable request? This should have been: “Bring back copy and paste of time and date”

    We get the message that copy/paste is important, so we’ll work on making sure it is possible with the new time picker. I’ve made a note of this.

    The old time picker had many bugs and quirks that made it hard to work with and impractical to fix. The new picker is just in its first incarnation and will be improved.

    Anyway, if you want to use previous versions of TC for now until we implement the improvements to the new picker, you can edit your .tsk file in a text-editor (but make backups please), and change the version number so it will open in old versions of the program.

    Cheers,
    Aaron

    Duplicate request. See:

    note also my comment there, but we are looking to probably go and implement this eventually anyway.

  17. Provide a column or field for "Assigned To".

    All tasks are assigned to a member of the team, and there are typically multiple team members on a project. So provide a field or column to identify who the task is assigned to.j

    We’re not going to make a dedicated field for this. Instead, it makes more sense to make categories more flexible for viewing. Overall, do this:

    • use categories, i.e. make a main category called “assignment” and add subcategories for each team member

    Side note: we have requests and plans already to improve the sorting of categories which would make it easier to show and hide different categories and such.

    A related request that would solve your request is:

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/1615061-make-it-possible-to-use-categorys-as-columns

    or maybe

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/329646-column-showing-only-one-selected-category-instead-

    Otherwise:

    In other words, we will consider adding team-member assignment after we finish having a functional multi-client system where users can share tasks. But this isn’t going to happen soon.

    Cheers,
    Aaron
