  3. 1.1 reminders do not work when program is minimized / in tray. And reminder windiw pops up only when I open application window. It's useless this way.

  4. I would be great if there where a free text field for each task. The text field is perfect to use if one have to send regular status reports to 3rd person. This text field should also be in the "front page" column view so it could be exported.

  5. On the task viewer, when the user switches from "Tree of Tasks" to "List of Tasks", there should be an option (maybe a checkbox) to hide root tasks that have children.
    I consider root tasks as something that will only be accomplished when all children are completed. If you have a lot of tasks, when you are on "List of Tasks" mode, a lot of "garbage" appears with root tasks that I don't want to see because they are not my current focus.

    In another words, if a task has subtasks open, I should be able to hide it, until…

  6. ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE:

    I need a field for location where work is to be done & ability to sort, select on it, etc. For anyone who does work in more than one place location is a key organizing criterion.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

    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

    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

  14. 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.

  16. i just wanted to say a huge thanks for the great software! i am busy using it to develop my life plan... which so far consists of fiddling around with all the task coach settings :-P

    now if you could somehow figure out how to integrate with freemind, my life would be complete... ;-)

    thanks!

  17. 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.

  18. 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? ;-)

  19. 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.

  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!
