  1. The calendar view is great!! I love seeing everything arranged visually on the calendar.

    It would be great if it was possible to drag-and-drop a date to another cell in the calendar, and have that date updated within the task. Right now it looks like you've got to double-click on the task, then click on the 'dates' tab, then click on the datepicker widget, then remember where you wanted to move it to, then select that date, etc.

    Thanks!

    This is now possible. Please add further requests or bug reports if you have any trouble.

    Note: the behavior currently changes both planned and due dates. Perhaps this should be a preference setting though…

  2. Instead of only having just the options to show or hide all completed tasks, add a drop down arrow next to the icon that allows you to also hide tasks older than 1, 5, or 7, days or a custom number of days. I would use this in weekly one on one discussions with my supervisor. Desperately need it please!

  3. I think it would be great if you could set tasks to display a recurring reminder (for example a daily reminder or each time I open Task Coach).

  4. I work and play on both Ubuntu and WinDoze platforms. I'd like to put Task Coach on a thumb drive, and to be able to access and manage my task list from either platform.

    If you have Task Coach installed on both systems you can access the task file from both systems. If you also want to install Task Coach on the thumbdrive, that’s possible. Just install both a Windows version (preferably the PortableApps version) and a Linux version. You’ll have to install them to different folders of course.

  5. I suggest to give the user the option to make the timer round up the minutes to previously selected interval once I stop it. This is helpful because I do not charge by the minute but by the starting hour and I use TaskCoach mainly to collect the hours I have to bill my clients.

  6. Vague title, I know: but assume you set "Hour of end of work day" to 17:00, and "Minutes between task start/end times" to 30 minutes. If I use the drop list to choose a due time, I cannot choose the hour where the workday ends; the latest is 16:30. I think there should be a "less than or equal" comparison, not a "strict less than".

  7. Currently tasks can be filtered to be shown if they are due by the end of the day, tomorrow, week, work week, month and year. It would be beneficial to have a rolling filter, say 7 days from today, so that when you come to the end of the week, the tasks due early in the next week are not a surprise when you come back after the weekend. Otherwise you need to change the filter to see what is coming up.

    The number of days could be user defined or the next 7, 14, 30, 60 and 356 days…

    There is an option on the calendar viewer toolbar to only show tasks that have a due date. Showing reminders is not possible at the moment. Please create another, more specific, feature request for that. In general, don’t combine multiple features in one request, it makes it hard to track them. Thanks, Frank

  9. It would be great to have faster access to the filter menu options via icons in the toolbar!

    Done! In v. 1.3.21 toolbars are customizable, and there are new buttons for hiding and showing every task state. Additionally, shift-click on these new tools will automatically hide all OTHER states and show only the one clicked!

    Cheers,
    Aaron

  12. It will be cool to see all the current month in the calendar view ! Actually I need to use scrolling (left and right). The feature could give the ability to choose a scale (10% step) and a fit view ?

  13. I would like to say: show me only the tasks that are in each of the selected categories - like a facade-search. At the moment all task that are at least in one of the selected categories are displayed.

  14. I'd like to be able to create a task viewer and specify a parent task as filter criteria so that the viewer shows only children of that parent.

    Use case is approximating the idea of an inbox for the GTD methodology. I created a top-level INBOX task and then wanted to create an always visible viewer that would show only the children tasks of that INBOX parent.

  15. When viewing your day in the calendar, it shows only the hours from 8 till 17. Some tasks are thus not shown when I try to get a daily overview. It would be nice if the whole day was shown, or to have an option to select the hours ourself.

  16. When I stop the clock with the right mouse button out of the task bar I would like a small window to open where I can write a comment... this would save time having to click through the task to be able to comment on the time slot I was working on.

  17. Hi,
    The function export is limited to the title. Would be good if the description, categories are added as optional during the "export" function.

  18. This is already possible, since I changed it inadvertently, but find myself unable to change it back..
    I would like to change the order of the tabs (description, effort etc) in 'Edit task'. I can drag the tabs, but am unable to save this.

  19. When I create a subtask under a task, I'd like for it to be assigned the category (especially) and priority of the parent task.

    Let's say I have a task, "repair laptop," with a number of subtasks that I want to ensure get done, in order. This is a "priority 2" task and falls under my "equipment maintenance" category. I crank out my list, creating subtask after subtask, but when I'm done I have a bunch of priority 0 subtasks with no category.

  20. the checkbox "hide composite tasks" is disabled for calendar view. It would, however, be very useful if one wants to see only the concrete small tasks to do for each day.
