  1. It would be great for me to be able to set a task to show up on my task list x amount of time after it is completed, rather than after it is starting. I have so many floating tasks that should get done about once a week. Another option would be to set a task to pop up at completion with a dialogue asking for the details of the next occurrence.

    And this is really a duplicate of this:
    http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/289034-task-recurrence-based-on-the-date-of-completion

    Although there does exist a separate idea about recurrence based on amount of time with higher resolution than days… but I’m thinking about that, so it may happen at some point…

    Thanks for your request. Please let us know if there is something you want that the latest version doesn’t do and no other request already covers.

  4. Reason:
    I'd like to add a "todo" to the list of tasks so I remember it, but not have it start until I actually start work on it.

    Current (ver 1.2.18) behavior is to set start date to now.

    Request
    1. Add option to Edit > Preferences > Task Behavior
    Option to have a radio selection
    ... Set Start Date/Time to immediately (default option)
    ... Do not set Start Date/Time
    Having the default set to set to immediately will preserve existing behavior by default

    1. When adding a new task/subtask, use task preferences to set start date/time

    2. When adding effort to…

  8. Please could the text of the system tray icon be the name of the task file that's open. If I've got more than one file open, I can't tell which icon is for which file unless I restore the window.

  9. For users who works fast and don't use all the tabs of a task it would be nice to edit the task title inline, i.e. without open up a popup.

  10. When there's a long list of tasks it may take a bit to go to task that's currently being tracked. It would be nice to have a button or shortcut thats select the task thats being tracked.

  11. It would be great if I could start tracking an effort for a task that has no start date. Now, I have to open the task, set the start date, and then start tracking effort.

    If a task has no start date, it should get Now() as startdate and time, when I press the "Start tracking effort" button.

  12. if the task has not expiration date, when marks the task as complete not appear at the calendar view.

    the program should set automaticaly (if not has) expiration date like the finish date.

    other thing, the drag & drop into days at the calendar view, it's comented somewhere??

  13. Below the Help Menu item "About Task Coach..." there should be implemented another new item: "Check for Updates", ideally with an automatical function "Install new portable version" in the same directory "....".

  14. It would be nice with one-file html exports. In other words that the .css file would be included in the .html-file. It would be easier to mail html-formatted reports and so on..

  16. 2 new items in Help Menu: "Contribute to the translation"

    Below the menu item "Request a feature" there should be implemented 2 new items:
    (a) "Contribute to the translation - all languages"
    with a link to https://translations.launchpad.net/taskcoach/1.2
    (b) "Contribute to the translation - current language"
    with a web-link to https://translations.launchpad.net/taskcoach/1.2/+pots/i18n.in/de/+translate

    The link should automatically point to the translation page with the actually used version and in case (b) the actually used language.

    Release 1.2.15 has a “help translate” menu item. The second menu item is a bit tricky because Task Coach and Launchpad don’t always use the same abbreviation for languages. I.e. the current language in Task Coach may be nl_NL, but on Launchpad it would be just nl. Stripping the NL isn’t always possible, e.g. for ptBR. So, too much complexity for a simple menu item.

  17. Add font attributes (Bold, Underline, Strikethrough, Size, Italic,…) to the tasks status parameter setting (Edit/Preferences/Colours).

    You can choose bold, italic, and size already. It’s just a matter of choosing those sorts of fonts from the system’s font selector.

    I also already opened a bug-report about the strike-through option and getting it to work on Mac and Linux (I think it works on Windows already). Underline is missing, but we’re not going to add that at this time and I doubt too many people would want that. If it were requested separately and got lots of votes, we’d consider it.

    Thanks for your request.
    Cheers,
    Aaron

  18. In the Edit Effort window, it would be nice if there were "Now" buttons next to the start and stop times so that you could click button and it would automatically update the time value in the respective start/stop field to be the current time.

    This would often be useful such as when I start a new effort when I begin the effort and type notes as I go along. Then when finished, I could click the "Now" button next to stop time and click OK and be done.

    [In other words, clicking the "Now" button next to the start…

    We have a new date/time control that is already functional in the latest bugfix release and will be in the upcoming 1.3.21 full release.

    There is already a button for “stop tracking now” and with the update, you can just press the N key in any date/time field across the program and it will enter the current time!

  19. Instead of minimzing window when double clicking on the icon in the tray-> iconize it ie hide it from the taskbar
    There is an issue at http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxTaskBarIcon so maybe thats possible by just chaning a few lines at the main-frame

  20. In order to allow to make donations easier, why don't you get a flattr (www.flattr.com) button on your web site? That'll be one click and you'll be supported!
