Add "Help > Show error messages" menu item
Taskcoach writes an error log to the program installation directory, which
is helpful when troubleshooting. However the existance of the log is not
immediately apparent to the user as it's not advertised until the program
closes (and perhaps not always?). I keep TC running all the time, so am not
notified of the error log. I only found it after spending some time
searching the support requests and read of someone else mentioning it.I have a suggestion to help remedy this: add a "Show error log" item to the
Help menu. This will make the log more accessible, without…1 vote -
Let categories have a time spent attribute
Categories should have a time spent attribute. The time spent on a category should be the total of time spent on tasks belonging to that category.

A 'Clear Completed Tasks' button or menu option
I often have many completed tasks in my task list by the end of the day, and it's kind of a pain to delete them all.
It would be nice to be able to hit a button and clear all the complete tasks.

Have only certain tasks show up on timeline
I have several tasks that are ongoing and have no deadline, and as a result mess up the timeline view for me (which I would otherwise find useful).
I would like to have the option to only have certain tasks appear on the timeline view, whether by toggling a flag on certain tasks or by excluding based on criteria.

Changing color with priority
If the color of an indication sign was changing with different priority, the overview of the most important/urgent tasks would be better visible.
That is e.g., for priority 0 = grey, 1 = black, 2 = green, 3 = red (similar to the color of the circle indicating the different status: completed, overdue,...

Add report builder or parameter-based effort reports
I would like to see more customizable reports in Task Coach, specifically in relation to reporting periods and grouping (by category.)
For example:
- Daily summary of effort between Date 1 and Date 2 for all tasks tagged with a selected category.Currently effort can be filtered by details, day, week or month. Sometimes the month or week that I want to report on does not align with a regular work week. Being able to set the start and end date would be a major improvement.
A tally of the total time spent would also be a nice addition to…

Keep effort records even when tasks change
The effort records seem to be tied to particular tasks. When a task is completed & deleted, the effort spent on it disappears. It would be nice to have effort records independent of tasks.

Provide context menu to quickly postpone task
Have a context menu, a hotkey, or a similar flexible method, to postpone a task deadline directly from the task list viewer (e.g. I see a task I will not be able to finish this week, dancing in red on top of task list, I right click and select "Postpone to -> Next Monday" and it shifts its deadline accordingly ...

Hide completed tasks when selecting task from the list in Effort View
In Effort View, it is a bit annoying to change task of an effort that was already started: in the list box appear all the tasks, no matter if they are already completed (even if in Task View the option 'hide tasks if completed' is enabled).

Don't count weekends in days remaining
I think that some people use the program for the job (as me), and the days
of weekends don't be used for work, but in the attribute column of days
remainding, it count all the week.
For example, I have a task that must be completed before 20 of may of 2009
(Wednesday) and today is 14 of may of 2009 (Thursday), then program mark 6
days left. But in Saturday and Sunday I don't work and therefore I really
have 4 days only.254 votes -
Print single tasks
It would be quite a nice feature to print a single task with all the details and with or without all the subtasks.

Automatically export to web
Now that we have the export to html/css the only thing needed to make a web for view current status is an option to specify an auto export option. Here can be two options:
1.- Time related autoexport. For example, every 5 minutes.
2.- Event related autoexport. For example, when someone change the status of a task.
And there must be a option to say where must be exported.30 votes -
Have Due Date default automatically to Start Date
No tasks have a Due Date earlier than a Start Date, and for many, it is the same.

Recurring task budget resets
I've been enjoying the recurring task feature quite a bit and I think it is a major feature for Taskcoach. My one minor complaint is that if a task repeats, the original time budget remains unaffected.
For example, I have a daily 20 minute task setup. The first day, if I spend 20 minutes, my remaining budget is 0. The next day I obviously would expect the task to take 20 minutes again, but with a starting budget of 0, I end up with -20 minutes after doing it. The next day -40, etc...
This current method of calculation would…

Bulk task and/or category importing
As part of a much larger project team I use Task Coach to manage my personal subset of project tasks.
Because the hierarchical task and category structures have already been created by others in the project team (normally in a spreadsheet file) it would be great to be able to bulk import them from a file of some common format ie CSV.

User defined hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts)
I would like to see a "keyboard shortcuts" option in the preferences menu that allowed the user to use any desired key for an action.
For instance i would prefer to use <cntrl-UP> to increase a task priority instead of <cntrl-I>. Or assign <a> to open attachments...
Thanks again for the great software. I'll pledge 5 EU for implementation.
