  3. It would be really nice if it was easy to take a new task and make it a subtask of another or elevate a subtask to the level of a task.

    I couldn't figure out how this could be done

  4. Only a certain amount of data is exported to CSV or HTML. There is no way to export the entire task description. We need a full export.

  5. I use color-coding and font size to distinguish between importance of each task (e.g. blue for an idea while red for some really bad urgent things to do). Being able to create a list of font color/size presets and then quickly apply them with one click on a task would be a time saver.
    Best if it was saved per-file. Would be really cool if I didn't have to open task properties window to change it (just like it is possible to change task priority)

  7. I would like to print out my task list excluding MAJOR completed tasks (but including sub-cat. tasks for major tasks uncompleted).

    Other software allows me to create two lists (Main and Archive). When I complete a task I can move them to Archive so I don't lose them but I can actually print my activities.

  9. Is it possible to add a tasktype en contactsname when adding to ta task or subtask.

    Tasktypes are:
    -Telephone
    -Mail
    -Meeting
    -Write
    -Design
    -Check

    -etc.

    With an option to filter on contacts and/or tasktype you can plan your contacts what to discuss and see for the day what kind of activity (like designing) you to do list consists of.

  11. If you have many remainders it will much better, if the default "snooze time" is not "no snooze". If the default snooze time is for example 18 hours, then you can't forgot an remainder by too fast clicking on the ok button.

  13. The colored circles for almost-due and completed tasks are indistinguishable except upon very close scrutiny. I suspect other colorblind users would have similar problems. Making either (but not both) the green or amber circles a deeper, more saturated color would improve recognition. Making the circles change color with the selected text color would be another option, though probably harder to implement.

    Approximately 10% of males are at least partially colorblind! Decreased ability to distinguish red and green (and oranges) due to lowered red sensitivity is one of the most common types. Colors that are desaturated or very close in brightness…

  14. It should be possible to define a default setting for data-export. I know that every visible column is exported but in my "standard view" I don't want to have all the columns which I would like to export. Changing the view for every export is quite annoying.

    You can open multiple viewers of the same type. So, open another task viewer, put it in the right settings, rename it (using View→Rename viewer) e.g. “Tasks for export” and you’re done. You can even close the viewer after export because Task Coach remembers settings for closed viewers.

  15. Per GTD principles, this filter (applied to a task list view) would show the highest priority task from each project. (How you define a project is another matter. Any set of adjacent non-composite tasks?)

  17. If this could be a field that is emailed as well, it would be VERY useful. While Task Coach is really designed for managing one individual's tasks, I am finding it useful to manage my direct reports, but it takes a lot of manual effort to do so the way it works now. Even so, it is still far better than doing it entirely manually.

  18. I would like to have an option for a task that allows its progress to be automatically calculated based on the progress of subtasks.

    For this to be accomplished, it would be necessary to tells what importance (in percentage) each subtask has on the main task.

    For example, let's assume I have a main task (Task1) with 2 subtasks (TaskA and TaskB). I tell the software that TaskA has 75% of importance and TaskB has 25%. When I put the progress of TaskA in 50% and 10% of TaskB, the Task1 should display 40% (50% * 75% + 10% *…

  20. I would like to be able to write for each task my estimated time it takes to fullfill the task. So when I have about an hour time I can search for task that take 60 minutes or less, and do then right away. To do --> done
