Task Coach 1.2.10 - (Your friendly task manager)

[FunkY]

Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to keep track of personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that most task managers do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things todo consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks. In addition, it offers effort tracking, categories, and notes. Task Coach is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and iPhone and iPod Touch.

Task Coach is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or any later version and free to use for both individuals and companies.

Task Coach is developed by Frank Niessink and Jérôme Laheurte, with help of different people providing translations. If Task Coach is a useful product for you, please consider supporting the development of Task Coach. You can support further development by spreading the word, help translate Task Coach in your language, help develop new features and/or donate some money (to help recover costs; any amount is appreciated).

Enjoy, Frank Niessink and Jérôme Laheurte

Features

Task Coach currently (1.2.10) has the following features:

* Creating, editing, and deleting tasks and subtasks.
* Tasks have a subject, description, priority, start date, due date, a completion date and an optional reminder. Tasks can recur on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
* Tasks can be viewed as a list or as a tree.
* Tasks can be sorted by all task attributes, e.g. subject, budget, budget left, due date, etc.
* Several filters to e.g. hide completed tasks or view only tasks that are due today.
* Tasks can be created by dragging an e-mail message from Outlook or Thunderbird onto a task viewer.
* Attachments can be added to tasks, notes, and categories by dragging and dropping files, e-mail messages from Outlook or Thunderbird, or URL's onto a task, note or category.
* Task status depends on its subtask and vice versa. E.g. if you mark the last uncompleted subtask as completed, the parent task is automatically marked as completed too.
* Tasks and notes can be assigned to user-defined categories.
* Settings are persistent and saved automatically. The last opened file is loaded automatically when starting Task Coach.
* Tracking time spent on tasks. Tasks can have a budget. Time spent can be viewed by individual effort period, by day, by week, and by month.
* The Task Coach file format (.tsk) is XML.
* Tasks, notes, effort, and categories can be exported to HTML and CSV (Comma separated format). Effort can be exported to iCalendar/ICS format as well.
* Tasks, effort, notes, and categories can be printed. When printing, Task Coach prints the information that is visible in the current view, including any filters and sort order.
* Task Coach can be run from a removable medium.
* Tasks and notes can be synchronized via a Funambol server such as ScheduleWorld.

There is a todo-list application for iPhone and iPod Touch that can synchronize with Task Coach through the network, starting with version 0.73.2 of Task Coach. Main features are

* Hierarchical categories.
* Editing of task subject, description, dates and completed status.
* Tap on the task's led icon to mark it complete.
* Available in English and French.

Release 1.2.10 - February 20, 2011

This is a mixed bugfix and feature release.

Bugs fixed:

* Column header popup menu's didn't work. (3175083)
* The stop effort tracking button on the toolbar of effort viewers wasn't working.
* The viewer background color would not obey the global user setting. (http://uservoice.com/a/g2CST)
* Task files wouldn't specify the encoding in the XML header, making it harder to process them with other tools. (3182504)
* In the calendar viewer, use the completion date as end date when a task is completed. (3183086)

Features added:

* Efforts are filtered by categories like tasks and notes.
* Pausing effort tracking: clicking the stop tracking effort button when no effort is being tracked will resume tracking for the task that was last being tracked. (http://uservoice.com/a/cXLhb)
* Start tracking effort and stop/resume tracking effort have keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl-T for start tracking effort and Shift-Ctrl-T for stop/resume tracking effort. (http://uservoice.com/a/9hhaE)
* Clear all filters via a keyboard shortcut: Shift-Ctrl-F (http://uservoice.com/a/4Tt4T)
* Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication when dropping IMAP mails from Thunderbird.

Feature changed:

* Show left/right scroll buttons in notebook controls so that it is more clear for users that there might be more tabs in the notebook than currently visible. A drop down list of all tabs in the notebook can still be accessed using the Ctrl-Tab shortcut.
