I'm still trying to come out with a decent, usable UI on the iPhone/iPad. I don't think that making something more like the full desktop UI would help though.

I snapped and bought one :) I agree that iPhone apps are ugly on the iPad; I'll be working on it soon. It's not as easy as it seems though, and there are some other features (reminders, recurrence and notes) I want to include in the next version as well.

Not too difficult, I guess. But anyway I intend of making a native iPad UI, that will be an excellent occasion to learn about the new stuff in iPad OS or whatever. It's just that it won't be tested on an actual device, which scares me a bit knowing that the simulator is far from being a perfect copy of the environment...

I already gave some thought about this but there are some difficulties. I hope to find something acceptable soon.

(commenting in English so that everybody can follow)
I already thought about including holidays in the calendar; the problem is that I couldn't find a free, exhaustive database of international holidays. If you know about one, I'd gladly take a look.

For various good reasons, the iPhone app does not use the same file format as the desktop one, so that would be difficult.

Starting with the next release, the password will be optionally stored encrypted in the system keychain if available. Synchronizing on every save seems a bit overkill...

The problem is that I don't want to store the password in clear text. On Linux and Mac OS X I could use the system keychain but AFAIK there is no such functionnality on Windows.

Given the similarity to this request:
http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/1145137-save-attachements-within-as-taskfileI’m going to treat the request HERE as a request to copy or move attached files to a specified directory that will be within the same directory as the .tsk file (or optionally any directory the user specifies)

No, the whole content of the .eml is stored in the task file. When Task Coach opens a .tsk file it saves these .eml files and should delete them when the .tsk is closed; if not that's a bug that I'll look into.

Thunderbird mails are stored in the task file; the *.eml files are only temporary files (and should be deleted when exiting Task Coach). You still should be able to open those attachments on another computer.

Calm down, I'm trying to imagine how to satisfy everybody without adding 42 options in the preferences :)

The directory-beside-taskfile approach is basically how it used to work a long time ago. Then users complained that attachments weren't saved in the task file...

Strange, the reminders don't steal focus on my Ubuntu 10.10.

Note that you can also drag and drop tasks in the calendar view to change their start/due dates.

Actually the fact that tasks not belonging to the currently shown category show up in the search results is a bug :)
I'm completely revamping the UI; I think this will not be an issue any more in the next major version. May take me some time to finish it though.

Note: this was moved from the desktop request section.
Also, task templates already exist, but if you want layout templates, vote for this other request:
http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/329664-save-and-reapply-custom-layoutsAlso, the same website sharing would work great with this other request:

That was the idea when I implemented templates but nobody contributed some :(

Nope. One of the prerequisites is something I've been wanting to work on for quite some time: a system to keep track of local changes to tasks with regard to several "devices" (SyncML server, iPhone, RTM, Trac, etc), in order to allow two-way synchronization with several other apps at once. It's not that difficult but I didn't find the time to work on it yet. Furthermore, Trac metadata will need to be stored somewhere, either in the task description (simple but dangerous since the user may change it) or through a "custom attributes" system that would need to be implemented first... If you have ideas about that, the taskcoach-dev mailing list would be a better place to do it.

Indeed I've been thinking about this before :) It's quite a big deal though so it's not #1 on my priority list.

No; please read the discussion I linked. They can't even legally include Pascal headers for UIKit. The RAD part of Lazarus works with desktop-oriented platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X) and maybe Windows Mobile which is not very different from Windows, but not with specific mobile platforms like iOS or Android. Most of desktop-oriented controls (menus for example) aren't even available on iOS. See also here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/The_LCL_in_various_platforms
The only mobile platform supported by LCL is Windows CE (not even Windows 7 mobile).

As explicitely stated here
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=7394.0
the UI code is platform-specific. Quote: "I would think that one use for FPC would be if you have significant non-UI Pascal code that you don't want to rewrite in ObjC". This is not the case for Task Coach.

Lazarus is just an IDE/RAD for Free Pascal isn't it ? And their documentation is even worse...

Nope. I may have missed something (the documentation is not really clear), but the only cross-platform classes provided by Free Pascal don't include anything on the UI level as far as I know. They only cover the regular low-level stuff: I/O, networking, etc. I'll take another look but I don't see how they could have made a generic UI framework that would work with systems as different (from an ergonomic point of view) as iOS and Windows.

I did take a look at Free Pascal. GUI classes are still platform-specific; since the GUI code represents more than 80% of the code base, it's almost as much work as rewriting the app from scratch...

Even with a common language I highly doubt the APIs are anywhere near similar, so still 95% of the code will be platform-specific...

Try to drag and drop the mail to an empty area of Task Coach's task viewer; this should create a new task with the mail attached. I only tested this with Outlook 2003 though.

If you're already in compact mode, the cells have their standard height for a table view; decreasing it would result in more tasks being shown but it would be more difficult to tap them. This could go against Apple's HIG, I don't know for sure.

Not yet. My 3GS was stolen so I had to go back to 3G; so I can't test the multitasking features. Experience shows that testing on a real device is a must. I'll buy myself an iPhone 4 in October, so I'll probably implement this for 3.1.

Great news: iPhone OS 4 (due this summer) supports multitasking, so notifications will probably become possible. Only on 3GS and later though (and 3rd gen and later iPod touch).

The only way to present a message to the user if the application is not running is a push notification. I'd like to do what Calendar does but it uses private APIs :(

Please expand on this. A badge showing the number of overdue/due soon tasks is feasible, but push notifications (I guess you're thinking about reminders here) would need a dedicated server, which is way overkill.

Yes, Windows shortcuts are very different from Linux symbolic links. I didn't think of this use case, but it makes sense. I'll see what I can do.
Isn't "View => Filter => Hide composite tasks" what you're looking for ?
