  1. I use Task Coach to keep track of my various activities during the day and use this to report to my supervisor / manager / superiors / etc. Because of this, I have to keep the completed tasks in my list for a decent amount of time. However, having to go in and manually change the priority so the completed tasks are not intermingled with non completed tasks has become a considerable annoyance and I would hope that in a not to distant update for Task Coach that you add in the option of setting completed tasks to a defined…

  2. A new view of a timeline/calendar with all tasks which have a begin/finish date set on it.

    It would be very useful for vieweing a resume of all tasks.

  3. It would be interesting to include a new field to record the 'date of issue/problem', as it does not coincide with the date when the corresponding record is created.

  6. Allow a scheme, when a sub task is given a priority, it will receive the priority of the parent task combined with the new priority.
    Example:
    A priority of task A is 7.
    B is a sub task of A with a priority of 2.
    The priority of B according to the new scheme will be considered as 7.2 for sorting purposes.
    If C is a sub task of B with a priority of 5, then it is considered as 7.2.5, and so on.

  8. The "next month" and "this month" arrows in the data picker are common, but the "this month" button is less common. I didn't realize that button had a purpose until it was pointed out to me.

    Adding tool tips to those widgets in the date picker would make the "current month" feature more discoverable.

  9. As a sloppy user, I sometimes hit a key I don't intend. Task Coach flashes and I wonder "What did I do? Did I delete something, or did the screen just refresh? Will undo fix an error, or get rid of my last intentional operation".

    When I then try undo, it isn't always obvious what was undone. The change might be to something not displayed. I often hit undo several times until I can identify the operation performed, and then performe redo several times to get to a good state.

    To address this issue, and give more information to users:…

  10. With version 1.4.0 the "auto save after every change" setting was causing unacceptable delays, so I turned it off. But sure enough, I forget to save manually. Please add a user-selectable setting to auto-save on exit from the program, or just ask me when I quit, "Do you want to save changes?"

  11. I often switch the inactive filter on/off, to limit the view to see only active tasks.
    It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for it. It's ok if it's a complex shortcut, I can always use autohotkey/autokey to remap some other key to that combo, just so long as there is some way of activating it via keyboard.

  12. I often want to followup on tasks that are waiting on others.

    E.g I submit a fix, and await review from community. But often I want to followup on folks to make sure there is progress.
    For this I currently edit the task and change the start date.

    It would be nice to have buttons (and keyboard shortcuts? ) to quickly move the start date to tomorrow/next week. (maybe a 3rd option : move to ... and pop-up calendar would show up?)

    If there already is a quick way for doing this without having to go through the task details,…

  16. When one wants to see the total effort per task, he can only see effort per month. If the task continues for many months, the manual addition is necessary. The effort per year, or some total effort will be helpful.

  17. I have a group of about 10 tasks, which I need to move by certain days earlier or later. Now I have to edit every single "Planned start date" and "Due Date" manually. It would be good to have an option like "Move selected tasks by n days".

  18. I want a daily / weekly / monthly summary report of how much time I spent across the projects I am working on. Seems like the capability should exist, but I can't find it - can anyone help?

  19. Please consider writing and installing an AppData file with the application description and some screenshots, else TaskCoach looks really bad in the GNOME and KDE Software Centers. We'd love to showcase more applications, but without the extra data file we can't. See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for details; thanks!
