    This is already possible. Start tracking the first task as you normally do. Then select the second task, right click it and select New effort. An effort dialog opens; as long as you don’t fill in the end date/time you’re tracking effort for two tasks at the same time.

  3. Very often I create tasks which have the same set of subtasks, so it would be very wonderful if TaskCoach has the possibility to create something like 'task hierarchy' templates. For example, every day I create the same set tasks with subtasks:
    Task1 (new feature)
    -- subtask 1 (developing)
    -- subtask 2 (testing)
    -- subtask 3 (release)

    It would save lots of time! Thanks!

  6. ...as described by Gina Trapani in https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-cli/wiki/The-Todo.txt-Format

    I don't despair yet of having my Blackberry-tablet-desktop sync'ed, but I don't like much web/mail sync, neither do I need it, as I still stay home several hours a week.

  9. It would be great to have an option for the new Effort rounding feature to always round UP to the nearest increment specified. Otherwise, if the time spent on an effort is less than the specified increment, it appears that no time was spent. For example, suppose I have an effort on which I spent 6 min. The results are as follows:

    Rounding Displays As
    1min 0:06
    5min 0:05
    6min 0:06
    10min 0:10
    15min (or larger) [BLANK]

    But I could also see situations where a user who spent, say, 16 min. on an effort with 15min. rounding would want to…

  12. I'm using a methodology like gtd. And I'm planning my long time tasks as parent task. I divide this parent task to lots of short time sub tasks. I record my efforts on sub tasks and I want to see all my subtasks efforts total on their parent task.

  13. For a particular task, I would like to be able to have a total of all the effort I have expended on a task, either in the status bar or in a new column.

    Thank you for your consideration,

  14. Is it possible to save somewere the expected time to complete a task and the actual time taken to do it ?
    That would be great for planned tasks and to sort them by time?

  15. It would be interesting to be able to hide the led in gray, but keeping the orange and/or red one as there are supposed to be done later while the others are due within few hours

  16. At present, if all subtasks are completed the parent task is also marked complete. Make this behaviour optional - at present, I have to add an extra subtask 'complete' to each large project to make sure it doesn't fall off my to-do list by accident.

  18. Currently the email is stored as a .eml file which does not integrate well with Outlook as it drops crucial information like To/From/BCC, has encoding issues, and more.

    Supporting Outlook's msg format would allow users to drag & drop emails into Task Coach, then when it's time to act on those emails (reply/forward) the attachment can simply be double-clicked and acted upon.

  19. 2 things that might improve compatibility with outlook:

    1. Split the CVS field for dates (eg start date) to "date" and "time" (outlook asks how to import a CVS and wants 2 separate fields)

    2. If a task has a start and a due date then presumably it can be seen as an "appointment", then label it in the icalendar file (ics) as VENENT rather than a VTODO. The due date should also be labeled as DTEND in order for this to work. VTODO is not recognised by outlook 2007 and earlier, mb even by outlook 2010 (I dont have it). I…

  20. In TaskCoach the only possibility to search for specifc tasks is to filter on headers.
    Please realize a seach feature which serches in the whole text of tasks, comments etc.
