  1. I would like to have a view that I can use to see templates that I have created. I would also be able to edit create/edit/delete templates from that view.

  2. For instance, I'm eating lunch. It's under my non-work time. I want to know when my hour is up.

  3. It is not possible to use dark colors for background because the text color remains black.

    It would be great if there would be a color option for the text or the color gets adjusted automatically to get white characters on an dark-blue background.

  4. This would enable us to better trace the status of subjects and tasks by entering notes which would be sorted and marked for creation date.

    This is also useful when creating an inbox for the GTD methodology, and it would be nice to sort newly entered tasks by the creation date.

  5. It would be very helpfull (at least to me) to have an extra column which will describe to whom we have assigned the current task (e.g: to myself, to other colleague(s)). This way will remind us (more or less) whether we need/expect a feedback from another person(s) for each task. Something like Owner column of MS offices's Tasks

  6. It would be very interresting that this functionality allows to merge the efforts of the different tasks from one .tsk file to the current .tsk file.
    Thank you very much for the very goog tool you build !

    This functionality already is there. When you merge a taskfile, the effort is merged too.

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean. In that case, open a new feature request and try to explain what you want with more words.

    Thanks, Frank

  7. Thunderbird's calendar program (and others) support the newer iCalendar file format. By adding support for this export format it should provide the ability for users to view their tasks in a calendar format without making huge changes to the task coach program. (by using calendar tools to do the UI for that mode.) Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_with_iCalendar_support

  9. If you have a high number of tasks in the tool and don't mark special categories or other filters it takes a long time till the overview is loaded.
    This should be much faster!

  10. It would be cool to be able to see quickly how much effort in hours has been spent each day and each week.

    This would be really helpful for people who need to fill in time sheets each week.

  14. I would like to be able to mark completed task with a line through it just like I would cross it off a paper list. Right now it just changes color. You might want to make this optional but I'm betting if it was available most people would use it.

  15. Please allow specifying the start time as well as the start date for a
    task. Tasks would remain color coded as future tasks until both the start
    date and time have been reached.

    That allows graceful handling of things like tasks that need to be done
    daily at 2:00, or every Wednesday at 3:00.
    Adding an end time allows for handling of tasks due at a certain time not just "today".

  16. When I am editing a task or a note and hit escape, the dialog disappears without prompting me, losing whatever data has been entered in it. This is bad form, as you can lose a lot of info if you hit that key accidentally. It should ask for a confirmation or save before exiting. Also, an "apply" button to save without closing might be good.

  18. Currently the category list selections works as logical OR and it would be nice if add new button was added that could toggle between logical AND and OR.

    Example: I want to see all tasks in category1 and category2 so I select both, but the current system only works as logical OR and shows too much!

  19. A task's start date, end date, and status should be able to change based on its relationship to other task(s). For example, if a task will require 3 days to complete but cannot begin until a preceding task is complete, then the 3 day task should stay in status "inactive" until the preceding task completes, and then Task Coach automatically changes the dependent task's status to "active" and sets the start and end date accordingly based on the user-provided duration for the task (i.e. 3 days).

    Task Coach should be able to provide estimated start and end dates for all…

  20. Set the percent a task is complete. This can be set at any time or when you are tracking effort you can update the percentage.
