Please explain more, maybe with a concrete example, what you mean and how you want things to work differently. Thanks

Yes, something like this is possible. There are other similar requests for having a client list. You could also try using categories, and templates might be useful…
We probably won't get to this any time soon, but thanks for the request.

Claudius, these are some useful ideas.
You could join the general users group at Yahoo to discuss further:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/taskcoach/or the developers group:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/taskcoach-dev/We'd be happy to hear your thoughts, and UserVoice isn't great for open-ended discussion
If anything is broken, please post a bug at sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=130831&atid=719134Some other thoughts:
The way to export tasks to another .tsk file isn't the export options, it's under File > Save Selection… (although we may change that soon, it isn't clear) -

Frank, I'm pretty sure this means: the user might use a non-portable desktop and also use a portable one and potentially make changes on either one and then wants to come back and make both systems get the changes from the other…

This isn't as simple as you might hope. It isn't just a matter of accessing the same .tsk file like it is for sharing across multiple desktop versions of Task Coach.
I updated your request to be more general for the overall idea.

I was going to mark this a duplicate of:
http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/468682-global-font-size-changeBut then I realize that you mean the basic interface stuff, not the look of tasks and categories, right?
This could still be integrated into the other request, but could you clarify how you feel about the current version?
While some changes are possible, some things like the Menu text are set by your system, not by Task Coach.

What are you requesting? You can make a template task… and you can have tasks recur yearly… and there's categories…
What is it you want the program to do differently?

Apparently, it is a very pricey proprietary software package for software development with bug and feature sorting and lots more:

can you clarify more?
I understand you want Task Coach to work more like an outliner, but I'm not sure it makes sense… but what do you mean "bring" — does that mean *make*?
So you want to hit enter and get a new task as though you were typing in a word processor?
Anyway, I think we will not be doing this, I'm skeptical about it. But I'm leaving the request open.
You might want to otherwise vote for this:

Do you have any further ideas about how this interacts with Task Coach. I don't find it clear at all.
I use calendar as a separate item for hard appointments with strict times. Task Coach is for more general tasks.
I could imagine a calendar that just worked with Task Coach, used the same category tags, could have notes and attachments…
Is that what you mean?

Just so you know: there is already clear selection in the edit menu.
Anyway, adding it to context menu would be easy…

What do you propose this grouping should look like?
Anyway, I hope you realize that Task Coach doesn't do categorical priority, it does infinite relative priority. If you want specific category markers, you can just use categories.

Another merger, copied from http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/1835239-make-it-possible-to-assign-a-task-to-another-task-
in Outlook it is possible to assign a task to someone else. This person can accept or ignore the task. The big disadvantage of Outlook is that tasks assigned, cannot be changed or reclaimed. When TaskCoach could make such a feature better than Outlook, it would be even more usefull. Above the Outlook functionality, I would like to have the possibility to add comments/notes to an assigned task. The person who accepts the task as well as the person who assigned the task, should have this possibility. Then they can 'communicate' about the task and this communication is saved within the task. The task should be synchronised between the owner (the one who assigned it) and the executer (the one who is working on it). Also the owner should be able to reclaim the task. E.g. when the person who is working on it is ill, the assigner can take the task back to do it himself or to assign it to someone else.

Ideas on implementation
Often, larger projects have many tasks with many subtasks that are shared by the group of people working on the project.
In addition to the already requested feature of allowing multiple users to access the same file with changes made by one immediately showing up in other users' view ( http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/288999 ), the following features would be needed:
1. Delegate a task/task tree. This would assign a task (or task tree if it has subtasks) to another user, recording the assignment in the in the database and optionally sending the user an email (the sending of an email notification could either be a configuration option or a dialog box option). This user should have the ability to either accept or reject the assignment, or to reassign it to another user. Additionally, in the case of a task tree, the assignee should be able to further delegate portions of the task tree to others.
2. A filtered view of the task list to show only: a) items that have been assigned to you, b) items that you have assigned to others or c) both.
3. Support conversations/time stamped comments between the person who assigned the task (tree) and the recipient. The conversation should be stored in the database, with the option of emailing a copy each time a new entry is made. There should be a configuration option as to whether these comments are globally visible (with a suboption to limit posting to only the assignor and the assignee, or to allow everyone to participate in the conversation) or whether the conversation can only be viewed by the person who made the assignment and the person who received it. Since there can be nested assignments (see below), another non-global comment visibility option would be to allow everyone in the chain of delegation to see and participate in the conversation, not just the pair of assignor and assignee.
4. Allow the recipient of an assignment to flag an assignment as complete (this is different than marking a task as being complete), with the person who assigned it optionally being notified by email. There should only be allowed if all of the tasks that were a part of the assignment have been marked complete. A configuration option would allow an assignment to automatically be flagged as complete once all of the tasks that were a part of the assignment (including subtasks that were delegated) have been checked off as completed. (Note: assignments have a status of complete/started/etc. separate from the status of the assigned tasks.)
5. Similar to 4, allow the recipient of an assignment to flag it as having been returned incomplete. In the ideal world, this shouldn't be an option, but in reality people either leave or have other responsibilities come up that won't allow them to finish an assignment. The person who delegated the assignment should optionally be notified via email. Returning an assignment should not cause any portions that were delegated to others to change status. Ideally, instead of a task having the assignor as part of its data record (which would then have to be updated when an assignment was returned unfinished and updated again if the returned task tree were to be reassigned to someone else), this should be derived by looking for the first parent task that isn't flagged as being assigned to the same person. This also deals with the case of a returned assignment being reassigned to someone who had previously had a portion of the assignment's task tree delegated to them. Since the parent records of their original assignment would now have the same assignee value, they prior assignment would automatically merge with the new assignment, with both having the derived assignor being the person who reassigned the task tree to this user.
(BTW - if task coach's data isn't already stored in a database, doing so would be the ideal solution to the complicated data needs associated with a multi-user system, such as atomic changes, record locking, etc.)

Ok, but what would it be separating?
There are many different dates: planned start, actual start, due date…
How would this know how to define things?
Anyway, since you are interested in date-focused stuff, have you fully explored the calendar viewer? (View>New viewer…)

I'm a little confused. What do you mean "grid"? Is this a request for a new type of view for the calendar viewer? Or a request for an entirely new type of viewer?
I understand the idea of exporting a report like this, that is a little more clear…
Thanks, Aaron
Nice idea, it could just be identical to the task selector in the effort editor
