  2. Most businesses aren't calculated on exact seconds used for the task. Usually tasks are paid in 5 Minute/6 Minute/15 Minute or 60 Minute units (payable for full units or for started units).

  4. With the "filter on any" and "filter on all" options, there is partial AND and OR filtering, but no NOT.

    When you select categories to limit what is displayed in the Task tab it would be nice to being able to reverse that logic (show all tasks that do NOT belong to the selected categories). I know that I can accomplish this by selecting all the categories I want to see and not select the one I don't, but I a lot of categories and most of the time there would be only 1 or 2 categories I would like…

  5. the Mail a task function has not the same quality than TaskCoach.
    It looks old unfashioned.
    It should be possible to mail it in a view like the export to html

  6. To get a better view of total fields it would be good if the totals for tasks and subtasks were all shown at once, but they should be differently tabbed
    Task 1----------Total hours
    ----Subtask 1----------Total hours
    ----Subtask 2----------Total hours
    Task 2----------Total hours

  8. it is important to see also the open expected outstanding amount to receive for the projects.
    Therefore the budget calculation for the amount should be implemented.
    budget h * h-ratio = budget amount
    outstanding h * h-ratio = outstanding budget amount

  10. Often I want to describe how I complete a task by adding a note. I would like to see an option to open the add a note dialog when I complete a task.

  12. the total fee is resulting in all of the child items even if they aren't finished. It would be nice if there was a option or a new column with only finished total fees.

  13. The form layout is already installed so that one could set dates for both a task and all its subtasks. This option is grayed out, and it would be very nice if the function was added.

  14. I found that you can track multiple efforts at once, however, the method to close one is counter-intuitive. There seems to be no way to stop tracking one effort without stopping the others as well. (Ok, there is.. you have to open it and set the end time). It would be MOST excellent if you could right click the tray icon and select which tracked effort to cease tracking, or, if you were to right click on a specific task and stop tracking it would only affect that task. Currently, it stops all effort tracking and that just does not…

  15. I'd like to printout the tree with the categories and the tasks of each categorie. Everytime I printout my taskplan I have to print every Window seperately, and after that I must painting the relations of categories an tasks by myself at the paper.

    • Reduces desktop clutter
    • Reminder window state independent of Task Coach window state.
    • Double clicking line item in reminder window opens task.
    • Mark Complete, Snooze, etc buttons work on selected reminders. This is how Outlook does, and it is one of the (few) things they got right.

  17. If nothing is selected or only a primary-level task is selected, these buttons would be the same as the current "Expand all" and "Collapse all" menu commands, but when an active selection includes composite tasks, these buttons would become "Expand selection" and "Collapse selection"

  18. If a subcategory's box is checked, and its parent category's box is unchecked, then: (1) the checked/selected subcategory should be visible, and not permitted to be collapsed beneath the parent;
    and/or (2) the parent's checkbox should have a 'half-check' in it, or a check with a different color -- like a grey color.

    These approaches are used by some the most standard software installers for Windows programs today ...at least when the user chooses the "custom" install option.

    Under the current system in Task Coach, I find that certain subcategories are unintentionally attached to my new tasks, and this risks…

  19. My netbook is sleeping most of the day - I wake it up only when needed. Nevertheless, I would like it to wake up & notify me whenever there's a TaskCoach alarm. As I understand, this doesn't require a lot of work - Windows' task scheduler is able to do it, so all is needed it to create a Windows task for each scheduled TaskCoach item.
    Thanks a lot !
