  4. When clicking 'New Task' it inserts it at the same level in the 'Subject' hierarchy as the currently highlighted task. This is instead of creating the new task at the top level of the 'Subject' hierarchy.
    This would give better control of task creation. It would save time re-selecting and moving tasks into adjacent levels (or creating sub-tasks in the upper level).

  5. needs to synch mult desktop and devices to one database.
    Ideally "auto synch" via DropBox.
    Alternatively "button synch" ala MyLifeOrganized.

    This is already requested, but this is in the Other Request section as it isn’t about the Desktop program.

    You can go vote here:
    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26480-other-task-coach-requests/suggestions/2652582-a-full-android-version-of-task-coach-comparable-t

    There are further notes in the comments there, such as that you can at least do a workaround currently with Todo.txtTouch for Android (not complete, but you can access and edit your tasks at least).

    Also: the issue here is simply a matter of finding another developer with time as we can’t manage making an Android app currently. Please feel free to try to recruit someone to develop this!

  6. Independent task list/tree window will be a nice addon as it will give a minimalastic view - current [view]> [new viewer] > [task] is good but it is bound to the main window - it will be great if I can have a task list window open independent of the main window.

  7. Have reminders display as cascade or random. A reminder pops-up at the instant that I'm clicking OK for another & it gets clicked instead. Then I'm wondering what did I just OK.

    This is not true. What you mean is: you were more used to the old system. Please tell us what specific improvements to make to the new system to improve it. The old system was buggy and will not be brought back. We are very interested in making sure you are happy with the new system, but please have some patience.

    You can simply type in the new system using arrow keys to change area and up/down to change value, but you can also just type things like 1/23/12 and 10:14 in the new system (include the slashes and the colon symbols) and it works perfectly! You can use “.” also instead so it works with just the numeric pad.

    With the newest bugfix (will be in next version), copy and paste works again.

    I suspect you simply have not realized how easy things are with the new system because…

  9. Hi, There doesn't seem to be a way to filter on other time periods other than "soon" and "overdue". I would really like to be able to filter tasks that are due in a week, a day, two days.

  14. All tasks are assigned to a member of the team, and there are typically multiple team members on a project. So provide a field or column to identify who the task is assigned to.j

    We’re not going to make a dedicated field for this. Instead, it makes more sense to make categories more flexible for viewing. Overall, do this:

    • use categories, i.e. make a main category called “assignment” and add subcategories for each team member

    Side note: we have requests and plans already to improve the sorting of categories which would make it easier to show and hide different categories and such.

    A related request that would solve your request is:

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/1615061-make-it-possible-to-use-categorys-as-columns

    or maybe

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/329646-column-showing-only-one-selected-category-instead-

    Otherwise:

    In other words, we will consider adding team-member assignment after we finish having a functional multi-client system where users can share tasks. But this isn’t going to happen soon.

    Cheers,
    Aaron

    This can be done by simply making a category for “leader” and then tagging tasks appropriately.

    If you want specific things with different people delegated etc. that really won’t work until we eventually have this:

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/1269513-multiclient-multi-user-version-perhaps-over-netwo

    And we won’t be getting to that soon because it’s very involved and we have much to do first.

    Respectfully,
    Aaron

    Please vote for these existing requests if they are what you want:

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/361743-drag-drop-tasks-into-daily-calendar-including-in

    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/289031-better-control-over-task-order

    Note the comments on those, however.

    Also, you do not need manual sorting to plan your day, week, month etc. You can add “planned start” to tasks and then hide inactive tasks. They will show up as “late” when the time comes. You can also show the “planned start” column and sort by that. You can also make groups, such as I use a recurring task called “daily” and I put tasks in there marked with planned starts and also some as prerequisites of others, then I set the whole daily task to recur daily and I mark it complete each day. There are further ways to sort also, such as by priority.
