    This is not a feature request. I’m not sure what is being asked. To be clear, there is indeed a level of funding that might help us hire developers to speed up our progress. It is hard to be specific right now.

    One option if you want to fund specific requests is to place a bounty at http://freedomsponsors.org/

  3. Hi

    I mean, would be nice that we can add full rich text into the Description Field, for instance, give some Microsoft Word like format to the text or even have the posibility of paste an mini excel sheet there, so that way you can expand significantly the uses for this wonderful program.

    Sorry my english..
    Thanks

  5. Hello / Bonjour.
    Task Coach is pretty helpful
    ...but it would be useful for me to have a "Phone" icon ...and also a "Money" symbol (pile of coins, or banknote)
    Would it be possible to add those in a future release ?

  6. Hi, Task Coach is a fantastic software, but I can't use it because is not possible (if I understand well) have a .tsk file on a server and open it more of one computer.
    My team have for every single task activity a lot of sub-activities to do by different persons. So if I understand well is not possibile cooperation in this way.

    Thanks

  7. If a task is due at 10:30am, I'd like an audible alert to "ding" at 10:30. I'd like the software to let me know that it's time to finish up and start the next task.

  9. It would be really helpful if you can display the time spent timer for the task I am working on currently on the desk top (right top corner or floating). Now I have to open the task coach to see the current time spent. This will help to improve the productivity

  10. I use the "Description" field as a text editor and I miss simple features like Find/Replace and Bold/Italic/Plain.

    That's my 2 cents.

  12. Each task could have an assignee.
    This way when a task has been completed by the assignee and passed to someone else, it would be possible to keep the task open, just change the assignee to know at which stage it is.
    There would be a menu "assignee" similar to "categories" where people name or organisational departments could be added.

  14. All multi-line boxes support richtext format.

    Can add hyperlink to all editboxes or multi-line boxes. Hyperlink here is to link to any content items within Task Coach such as a note, a task or anything else.

  15. I think the problem is that taskcoach doesn't have events but instead only has tasks. The difference is that Events don't have a due date since there's nothing to "do" for them, but they might have subtasks like "study" or "buy birthday gift".

    I guess what I can do is change "Friend's Birthday Oct 13" to "Prepare for/Remember Friend's Birthday Oct 13". But then my screen is cluttered with reminders. Therefore, it's currently better to manage events with google calendar and desktop apps for google calendar.

    It would be nice if we could have a view that showed all the…

    Thanks for the note, Charlie! I wasn’t going to insist on closing this, but I agree with your comment. The fact is (see Getting Things Done approach for example), good organizing makes very strong distinction between tasks and events. Events just happen, you’re there or not. It’s true that you connect these, as you say, but fundamentally a calendar should be ONLY for hard strict events and a task manager ONLY for more flexible things. Integration of the two tools is still desirable, but there’s requests about that already, and it’s not easy. Cheers

  17. I start up TaskCoach.
    I see the Subject (it should be named TASK) column and the Description column. If I check the View menu, I also have enabled, Percentage Complete, Attachments, Notes, Categories, and Priorities, none of which are shown on the screen.

    I can open a New Viewer (Task) which then shows me Subject (which really should say TASKS), Categories, Due Date and Priorities, yet under columns, only Catagories and Priorities are enabled.

    I suggest that in fact, the view operation is borken.

  19. Please, add a Cancel button in the dialog used to edit Effort(s). I corrupted a lot of effort records in the "effort per week" view because I accidentally changed the task associated with the efforts (I closed the dialog expecting that the changes would be canceled, but it wasn't)

    The changes done in the edit dialogs are done one at a time, so there isn’t a specific thing to cancel, it would have to be a history of knowing what changes happened since you opened the window. It really isn’t how the program works. The editor isn’t a dialog that then does or doesn’t do a set of changes, you’re just directly editing things.

    But the answer is simple: Just use “undo”.

    I don’t mean to dismiss your concern, but it isn’t feasible to do this, it doesn’t actually fit with the way the program works. UNDO is there to remove any unwanted changes anyway.

    Cheers,
    Aaron

  20. Please add the Feature, to set an Budget globaly as default-value.
    Maybe another solution is to automaticly extend all Budget-Values for Subtasks.
    It drive me crazy to reset the Budget again and again for each subtask.
