  1. When a task notification pops up, it would be nice if the description popped up once I hover the mouse over the task description button.

    Today I actually have to click the button which takes me into task edit mode which is not usually what I want to do. I just want to see the description of my task.

  2. It would be helpful if the icons in edit task indicated if there are associated records. (e.g Notes, Attachments) for the task being edited.

    Another approach would be to indicate how many associated records (e.g. notes and attachments) there are by adding a counter to the icon text (e.g. "Notes (1)")

  4. I request you to add quick add functionality, which allows user to add new row on main screen and provide basic details to create new task instead of opening a new dialog box. Person can double click on task to enter additional details if required.

  7. Every time a new task is created, there should be a field with a task number (that increments every time for new tasks).

  8. I'd l ike to enter my own 'snooze' time on a reminder instead of choosing from dropdown. Examples: 2m = 2 minutes, 360m = 360 minutes, 4h = 4 hours, 72h = 72 hours, 3w = 3 weeks, 50w = 50 weeks, etc.

    I have another little reminder program I use, and this is it's coolest feature. Would be great to have in TaskCoach too.

    Thanks for consideration of this idea :-)

  9. All subtasks stay visible when they are completed, they are only hidden after their parent task is completed.

    It will be an additional option of the existent 'Parent Task Behavior'.

    Thank you

  12. Many of the dialogs barely fit on the netbook screen, even when dragging the title bar to the top of the screen. Also, the window position is not remembered when re-opening the application (window size is remembered).

  13. I think TSV export is far preferable than CSV because of CSV misinterpretation from one national settings to other. This varies with "," or ";" as list separator for several countries.
    Also, "," or ";" signs could be confusing while importing to another app when you use those ponctuation signs into notes or task description...
    I strongly advice you to implement TSV format into export feature to eliminate those problems...

  14. In the morning, when I start my computer at work I usually begin with a task like "reading emails". It would be nice not to have to run it manually.
    So I suggest a feature:
    - possibility of setting a default task running at Task Coach startup (when there is no other task running already).

    It would be nice also to swith to this default task even if there is other task already running when a date has changed since last change (what means I forgot to stop my tasks at "go home" time the previous day), but not necessary.

  15. A user (boss) creates a task, and assigns it to another user (worker), it could travel through an IM or P2P protocol. A task server/tracker/repository could handle the traffic routing
    User (or boss) could set up a "Report status" action(or "report tasks automatically every [update|daily|weekly]"). When Master Task is changed, it is spread through all users involved. Collisions should be accepted manually.
    Tasks could be local or remote, single user (using 1 subtask for each user in case there are many users).

  16. When a amount of categories will grow up the listing will become quite long. When I have selected categories here and there it could be nice to remove the checkbox selection at once to view all tasks without scrolling and unselecting them manually.

  17. What I would really like is to be able to past a simple list of tasks from a text file into Task Coach. New tasks created in this way would simply have default attributes. Thanks!

  19. when we double click in the task list the dialog box open on the right tab, that's good.

    but it would perfect if the focus was automatically given to the right zone.
    for exemple when we dbl click in the percent colums if the percent have the focus we only have to type the new value and press enter it will be shorter.

    or to have the ability to modify it without opening the dialog box, which will be great to.

  20. It would be great if you can add certain costs (not work hours, but eg 3rd party invoices) to tasks, so when the task is finished you have a complete overview of the direct costs that were involved.
