It would be more functional if the time fields had check boxes for display.....just as do the dates. I have many tasks that I wish not to display times. In fact, more than 95% of my tasks do not require a time setting. Unfortunately, with the way it is now, I do nothing with the time setting, but then all of the items show up as ALL DAY items. I can't see a way to turn that off.  |

To be honest, a lot of the new features related to date and time do not make sense to me. In previous programs, setting the date and time was intuitive and easy, and one easily got the results that one required. The new ways have been rather confusing and do not produce any efficiency in time management, so far as I can see. I really do not understand the purposes, or the intended benefits, or the changes that have been made. That's true. I can not see any sense beyond this unusual date and time settings also. I am longing back for the old versions before 6.70. |

I am longing back for the old versions before 6.70. I my opinion the new features related to date and time make LeaderTask more flexible. Now users can set up date and time of the tasks in different ways in order to their preferences and needs. Perhaps it is necessary to put them into practice but in a very short time it will be simple and useful. Regards |

Regards Hallo esocrates, My tasks need a spezific start and due date. They do not need a specific time. A "task" with a specific time I need for meetings only. But what I need particularly is a filter to see all tasks for today. This is possible only if I set a date with a specific time. This appears then in the body of the calendar pane only and not on top. After short while the calendar's body looks like a confusing mess of appointements and tasks. If I set a start date today and an end date today in the second row of the term window and leave the date field in the first row blank, I can not filter the today's tasks in the task pane. Do you think really this is simple and useful? Simple and useful was LeaderTask in earlier times bevor vers. 6.70. Now it's confusing. The competitors will be pleased. Regards, Michael |

Yes, you are right. This setting will show the task on the All day area of the calendar when you use the today filter and not on the Task Panel. On the Task Panel are only shown the tasks with time, at least in the last version of LeaderTask [6.7.5] Regards |

I think LT could use some simple improvements that would solve this disagreement. (perhaps I should have posted this in the new idea section)
THere should be 4 fields TASK DATE/DUE DATE and TASK TIME/DUE TIME. Both fields have a "display in calendar" checkbox before them. Add a TASK DATE and the item appears in the task pane. On the calendar, the task appears above the time grid, thus the item has only a date, not a scheduled time. The user can drag items in the calendar and the TASK DATE would be updated. Same for TASK TIME. Items above the grid do not have a time and are not set to ALL DAY. Thus, TASK DATE is just one date. The TASK DATE should also be used as the DUE DATE or END DATE.
Then, there should be two more fields; START DATE and START TIME. Both of these fields would default to blank. For those users who wish to show a task that spans more than one day, they can then use these fields.
THe result: We would have 4 fields (1. TASK DATE/DUE DATE, 2. TASK TIME/DUE TIME 3. START DATE 4. START TIME.)
The Calendar would show all items. (1. Items with DUE DATE only would show on that day, above the grid. They would also show in the task pane. 2. Items with TASK TIME/DUE TIME would show on the DUE DATE with the DUE TIME within the time grid. 3. Items with START DATE would show on the calendar. 4. Items with a START TIME would show on the calendar, within the time grid. Does this make sense to anyone?

Thanks for your suggestion Esocrates
Here is the details of the problem that I am facing in Windows 7 with 6.7.5 update
1) In the task panel move up/down arrow is blanked and could not be selected for moving the tasks up or down. Since these functions are also blanked in the menu "Edit>>Tasks>>Move", currently there is no easy way of organizing the task lists. See the attached a screenshot for more detail.
2) In version 6.6.7, once you start Leadertask, a small pop-up window appear reminding you the number of overdue task and you can click a link called "show" to see all the overdue functions. This function is disabled in version 6.7.5. This is a very useful feature that will allow one to quickly identify all overdue tasks, which I liked very much.
I would appreciate if the support team would reinstate these functions.
Best regards
Venu

DAH, I agree with your exposition. Another behaviour I would like to see is: 1) when I double click in the calendar pane UNDER middle line, LT create a task (appointment) for the day with start time=line where I click; 2) If I click ABOVE the middle line; LT create a task for all day with start date = day where I click; 4) If I click in the task pane, LT create a task with no date. Another things I think is confusing is the task cloning when dragged from bottom the line to upper the middle line: why?
