  2. Theme-able / skinnable / themes / skins options

    It would be very helpful if color themes were offered for the background colors.

    I use a dark browser therm and overlay Task Coach. It is very hard on the eyes.

    Thanks,

  3. Show Folders as aGreen folder if any of the sub-tasks are active

    It would be great if one could minimise a folder that has tasks below it and get a sense of what is active below it. This would help a lot for those who have fairly long task lists as one could not close all the list down to 1st of 2nd level and get a better overview of where one needs to place emphasis

    There is already an option for automatic-backup in the preferences, although that backs up on every save. Perhaps a better request would be to make that simply time-based such as every 15 minutes (if you’d like that, add a feature request for that). Otherwise, backup via any existing backup option obviously works whether that is a script, a program like BackInTime or a tool like SpiderOak/UbuntuOne/Dropbox/etc.

  5. Add a Cancel button in dialogs

    Please, add a Cancel button in the dialog used to edit Effort(s). I corrupted a lot of effort records in the "effort per week" view because I accidentally changed the task associated with the efforts (I closed the dialog expecting that the changes would be canceled, but it wasn't)

    The changes done in the edit dialogs are done one at a time, so there isn’t a specific thing to cancel, it would have to be a history of knowing what changes happened since you opened the window. It really isn’t how the program works. The editor isn’t a dialog that then does or doesn’t do a set of changes, you’re just directly editing things.

    But the answer is simple: Just use “undo”.

    I don’t mean to dismiss your concern, but it isn’t feasible to do this, it doesn’t actually fit with the way the program works. UNDO is there to remove any unwanted changes anyway.

    Cheers,
    Aaron

  8. Add Support for Events Instead of Just Tasks

    I think the problem is that taskcoach doesn't have events but instead only has tasks. The difference is that Events don't have a due date since there's nothing to "do" for them, but they might have subtasks like "study" or "buy birthday gift".

    I guess what I can do is change "Friend's Birthday Oct 13" to "Prepare for/Remember Friend's Birthday Oct 13". But then my screen is cluttered with reminders. Therefore, it's currently better to manage events with google calendar and desktop apps for google calendar.

    It would be nice if we could have a view that showed all the…

    Thanks for the note, Charlie! I wasn’t going to insist on closing this, but I agree with your comment. The fact is (see Getting Things Done approach for example), good organizing makes very strong distinction between tasks and events. Events just happen, you’re there or not. It’s true that you connect these, as you say, but fundamentally a calendar should be ONLY for hard strict events and a task manager ONLY for more flexible things. Integration of the two tools is still desirable, but there’s requests about that already, and it’s not easy. Cheers

  9. RichText & Embed Hyperlink

    All multi-line boxes support richtext format.

    Can add hyperlink to all editboxes or multi-line boxes. Hyperlink here is to link to any content items within Task Coach such as a note, a task or anything else.

  11. Add the possibility to "assign" a task to someone

    Each task could have an assignee.
    This way when a task has been completed by the assignee and passed to someone else, it would be possible to keep the task open, just change the assignee to know at which stage it is.
    There would be a menu "assignee" similar to "categories" where people name or organisational departments could be added.

  13. better text editor

    I use the "Description" field as a text editor and I miss simple features like Find/Replace and Bold/Italic/Plain.

    That's my 2 cents.

  14. enable users to set an audible alert to sound when a task is due

    If a task is due at 10:30am, I'd like an audible alert to "ding" at 10:30. I'd like the software to let me know that it's time to finish up and start the next task.

  15. Collaboration with my team

    Hi, Task Coach is a fantastic software, but I can't use it because is not possible (if I understand well) have a .tsk file on a server and open it more of one computer.
    My team have for every single task activity a lot of sub-activities to do by different persons. So if I understand well is not possibile cooperation in this way.

    Thanks

  16. add some icons to the "apparence" pick list

    Hello / Bonjour.
    Task Coach is pretty helpful
    ...but it would be useful for me to have a "Phone" icon ...and also a "Money" symbol (pile of coins, or banknote)
    Would it be possible to add those in a future release ?

  18. Rich text into Task Description Field

    Hi

    I mean, would be nice that we can add full rich text into the Description Field, for instance, give some Microsoft Word like format to the text or even have the posibility of paste an mini excel sheet there, so that way you can expand significantly the uses for this wonderful program.

    Sorry my english..

    This is not a feature request. I’m not sure what is being asked. To be clear, there is indeed a level of funding that might help us hire developers to speed up our progress. It is hard to be specific right now.

    One option if you want to fund specific requests is to place a bounty at http://freedomsponsors.org/

  20. Time Spent - Direct input form list

    It would be nice to have possibility to direct input value for time spent. I mean something like there's for budget. Basically click on task line and add time without complicated input from details.
