Add capability to send a mail from within TaskCoach (I want to delegate a task)
Having the possibility to send a mail from TaskCoach would be great. The mail subject should correspond to the task subject. This feature would come in handy to delegate tasks or ask for the status of work done.
1 voteThis is already possible. Select a task and select the Actions→Mail menu item.

Add another "completed Items" filter option - insert date.
Most companies have task review meetings. In these meetings it is commonplace to review completed tasks since the previous meeting. For the sake of argument, we will have a fortnightly meeting. The filter options available will either miss out tasks (only including the last week), or include ones already covered in the last meeting (monthly).
To cover these situations, would it be possible to have a date filter option which filters out completed items before a certain date? It would give complete flexibility for any situation, and would be enormously useful, certainly for me.

Start Task Coach window in a pre-defined location/size
Hello,
I use Task Coach in the left of my screen to be able to work and control my tasks, but every time I start it it is placed in the top left of my screen.
Would it be possible to configure it to start always in the same position in the screen?Thank you very much.
1 voteTask Coach should already remember its position and size. Please open a bug report for this at Sourceforge (you need to login to Sourceforge first before you can report a bug) and attach your TaskCoach.ini file to the bug report.
Thanks, Frank

Filter to see tasks from a few selected categories at once (task list view)

Resume Last Effort from Taskbar
It would be great if I could right-click on the Task Coach icon in the Windows taskbar and select an option to "Resume Last Effort". With hundreds of tasks, scrolling through the list is too tedious. But I often have to stop an effort when I leave my desk and want to resume that same effort when I return. Thanks!
5 votesThis is possible in release 1.2.10 (just released).

Change the colour of the background in the main window
I am both dyslexic and have sight problems. I can change the task windows background colour but the main window with its lists and toolbars stays blindingly white (ow!) despite other windows applications allowing me to do something with them. Can you add something to preferences to change this before I go blind? ;-)

Recommend adding a time tracker for each task
This product is great. I would recommend adding a time tracker that users can start and stop per task to track actual time in hours, minutes.

Zooming for the Calendar view
It would be nice to be able to see more tasks on the Calendar - currently we're stuck at one day only with the possiblity of dragging the scroll to the next days. It would make sense to zoom out to see more tasks coming in soon.

Remember "New task" window size
I have I large screen resolution, so that I would see every tab in this window. Unfortunately it doesn't store the last size, so that I have to resize it every time after opening it again. I need to do that because i often add noted by creation and need to go to the notes tab on the right.
2 votesRecent versions of Task Coach do this.

Let user customize toolbars
It would be great to customize toolbars. Every user could simplify the program interface to his needs. There are too many repetitive icons while working with several windows. A single main toolbar could play a big role in this idea. Thanks!
19 votesCustomizable toolbars are now included as of v. 1.3.21!
Some new toolbar buttons are now available and more will be added in the future.
Giving the toolbars customized or variable size icons is going to be a separate issue though.

Keyboard Shortcut for search
If there are many tasks the serach is very usable to find a special task. It would be nice if you can set the focus to the search field with e.g. Ctrl-F so you do not have to use the mouse for this.
6 votesRelease 1.2.9 has a Ctrl-F shortcut.

Change data directly from list of task
Would be nice to be able to change dates for instance directly from the list.
And also color, you double click and there is something like the toggle category but for color1 voteThis is already possible, just click on data in columns and hit enter when done.
If you really want to change things like color without opening another window, vote for this:

add a button "Select task in Task view" in the "Edit Effort" box
I always look at the effort window to remember what i was doing, and have a hard time finding my task in the Task view to start monitoring it again. by the way, great tool already !
1 voteRelease 1.2.8 has “Start tracking effort” and “Stop effort tracking” buttons to the toolbar of the effort viewer. That way you can simply select the most recent effort record and hit the “Start tracking effort” button to resume tracking the last task.

allow inserting a (start,reminder,...)-time in the mmss instead of mm:ss -format (easy conversion)
By now, you need to insert time in the specified format mm:ss.
It would be much faster without the obligatory ":" e.g. on the NumPad.
Afert 4 Numbers were inserted, it could automatically insert an ":" as third character.4 votesWe did not do exactly this, but the new v. 1.3.21 has a new date/time picker. In this, you can simply type “.” (a period) to move from hours to minutes (and back). So you can enter a time entirely on the NumPad, for example 12.35 and it will work.
Cheers,

Task view: show only time (instead of date+time) for TODAY's entries
I feel that it would be convenient if only time is shown for today's entires in the task view. This would allow me to keep column size for due/start dates small.
1 voteMarking this complete as the purpose was more clear and smaller column, and this is now fixed in the new v 1.3.21 release where today’s tasks will be marked “today” instead of the full date.
Cheers.

a agenda view where temporary tasks can be selected on which should be worked today.So you can gro
Each day you can then select some tasks you want to work with out of all at least many different categories. Which usually is somehow difficult to overview. I used to use a new category 'Today' for that which is than assigned to the tasks I want to work on today. But it is somhow time-consuming to switch the categories of some tasks to and from 'today' each time.
For example you shouldn't work on more then 5 tasks a day. The next day this 5 tasks are different. So you get a dialog presented if you want to work…4 votesPlease use the View→Filter→Only show tasks due today menu option.
Cheers, Frank
