  1. If a subcategory's box is checked, and its parent category's box is unchecked, then: (1) the checked/selected subcategory should be visible, and not permitted to be collapsed beneath the parent;
    and/or (2) the parent's checkbox should have a 'half-check' in it, or a check with a different color -- like a grey color.

    These approaches are used by some the most standard software installers for Windows programs today ...at least when the user chooses the "custom" install option.

    Under the current system in Task Coach, I find that certain subcategories are unintentionally attached to my new tasks, and this risks…

  2. It would be great to have a desktop widget for example für screenlets (is also written in python).
    So a short look on the desktop shows me my agenda.
    Maybe there is an pendant to screenlets for windows.
    Thx

  3. It would be nice if I could right-click a task and/or have a command in the file menu of "Move to..." and could then select a different .tsk file that the selection gets moved into.

    This would make it a cinch to move tasks to an archive or just move them for other purposes. Perhaps a "Copy to..." could be considered as well (like the difference between copy-paste versus cut-paste).

  4. Now email is generated only by the taskname as subject and details as email body.
    -> I'd like to have an option to attach any of linked attachements to this task, including the option of pasting other details such efford, etc.

  5. To get a better view of total fields it would be good if the totals for tasks and subtasks were all shown at once, but they should be differently tabbed
    Task 1----------Total hours
    ----Subtask 1----------Total hours
    ----Subtask 2----------Total hours
    Task 2----------Total hours

  6. I think it could be great a quick way to set one category in the same front tab used to introduce the title and text of a new Task. I always use categories and I have to use the mouse only to set the category.

  7. The form layout is already installed so that one could set dates for both a task and all its subtasks. This option is grayed out, and it would be very nice if the function was added.

  8. It would be a great feature if I could create a new task out of a Tomboy note (like how it works with Tasque).

  9. My netbook is sleeping most of the day - I wake it up only when needed. Nevertheless, I would like it to wake up & notify me whenever there's a TaskCoach alarm. As I understand, this doesn't require a lot of work - Windows' task scheduler is able to do it, so all is needed it to create a Windows task for each scheduled TaskCoach item.
    Thanks a lot !

  11. When switching to another (sub)task, TC could tweet about that (sub)task or its closest predecessor that is configured to tweet. Likewise, other (social) network integration may be neat.

  12. More keyboard hotkeys. The whole point of an effective task manager is to integrate it seamlessly into your day. Keyboard shortcuts allow this.

  13. It would be great if there was a way of adding a link to a document (as opposed to an attachment) in a task that was clickable. In my case the links would be to our document management system (dme://docdm-xxxx) or a web page

  15. Just an entry which shows "original", "current", and completed dates. This is really a special class of a task which has no duration.

    The timeline view should also have support for viewing these milestones

  16. This feature would be an "extension" to the idea of not counting weekends.
    I use Task coach in my job, so my point of view is "job-related"
    I'd like to have an option in the preferences where one could:
    - select the typical working hours in a day (for example 8-12; 13-17)
    - select the working days in a week
    - exclude some particular days (like national festivities)
    This should apply to the time spent in the efforts. I mean, for example:
    for some reasons I have to create an effort that lasted the entire week, I spent 40 hours…

  18. ... like "tracking effort" and "taking notes" (under Features in Preferences). I really want a minimal interface.

    Other features too, like prerequisites maybe. Just gives users the ability to simplify more.

  20. Several times a task was selected and to clear selection (to see all categories colors) I have to use the menu. There is a hotkey to select All. Another hotkey to unselect could be nice, also.
