Hi! I have a small aesthetic request for this excellent piece of software. I'm working on a high resolution screen, so I've raised the tasklist font size up to 20pt. (Default was 10pt, I think) Now everything is enlarged, apart from the tasks's checkboxes, which remain small. This looks disproportional. It would be nice, if the checkboxes were growing in-line with the font size. [Edit: Alternatively, the small checkboxes should be vertically centered between the gridlines.]

ps. Can you send me a screenshot so I'm clear on what you are seeing? My email address is in my signature.

If I understand the above list of new features there should be (in 6.6. dev 2):
Add button to custom attribute dialog to display symbols
Add 'Icon' attribute type to custom attribute setup
Allow custom attributes to be imported from another tasklist
Allow 'flag' custom attributes to be settable via clicking the tasklist column
Allow user to define 'symbols' for flag columns
...
At the moment I have problems to find these feature. Who can help?

Not sure if you have worked these out yet but...
You get to the custom attribute dialog by right clicking on one of the column titles.

There is a dropdown arrow (right of the column title entry box). It allows one or more symbols to be set as the column title.
Pierre de la Verre wrote: Add 'Icon' attribute type to custom attribute setup
'Icon' is now selectable as a custom 'Data type'. A single icon is settable for a task by clicking in the tasklist. At the moment it allows another icon to e set for a task, but in future, I believe the intention is for multiple icons (but I might be dreaming there).

Not sure about this one... Haven't tried it.
Pierre de la Verre wrote: Allow 'flag' custom attributes to be settable via clicking the tasklist column
This is for the Flag and Icon type. The custom flag is set / unset by clicking in the tasklist, rather than in the edit bar (they don't even appear there). The icon selector is brought up by clicking in the tasklist also.
Pierre de la Verre wrote: Allow user to define 'symbols' for flag columns
The symbol used for the flag column heading is also used to show the flag set in the column.

Thanks zajchapp
I found the features now. At the moment there is still the question:
Allow custom attributes to be imported from another tasklist

This has me a little stumped.
I assumed that this would work via the import (tools menu). However, when importing tasks from a tasklist with custom attributes, those custom attributes don't seem to come over.

Hmmmm, I thought it would be a separate command to import the settings without importing tasks

On the custom attributes dialog there is an 'Import...' button. Try that.

Hmm... I wonder where it's gone. Leave it with me.
I'll also look into why there is a red-outline around the check box.

Found it!
I use "Windows Classic Style" without themes - this makes the red outline.
After changing to "Windows XP Style" the red outline disappears.
For me it is not important and not necessary to solve.

The issue with the not-inserted-date is fixed now and the date is inserted, but it should have a caption in output like "Created at / File from ....";
At the moment nobody knows where this date comes from.

i've been trying to find a way to exclude tasks from having % completed. is that possible?
i'd like to add tasks as "ideas" and so not include them in the percentage until i decide to actually work on them.

Hi Wazz
Could it be as simple as not displaying the Percent Complete column?
Or didn't I understand your question correctly?
Hope it helps

don't think that will do it. looks like it can't be done. i think a feature is applied to all tasks or none.
for ex, i would like to right-click a task and have an option to exclude only that one task from the calculation of '% complete'. (from the total, i suppose).
i guess i need a second list of tasks not being worked on and when i decide to actually work on one, move it to the main tdl.

Seldom i experience a "bad task"!
Today i did again. Whenever i focused the comments of this specific task TDL crashed. I ended deleting the task in the tasklist. That helped.
Can anybody verify those bad tasks?
Thank You

Such a bad task, would it have anything to do with certain field values or would it be something 'wicked' in the comment field (simple/rtf)?
Unicode or not?

Not at all,
i have hundreds of similar tasks not causing any problem. I allways use RTF. Font was Arial.

Did you take a copy of the broken tasklist that you could send to me?

I am very sorry but i have always a problem with sending my .tdl files as it contains several confidential informations like Logins etc by now. It became my private infocenter and for that i can not do that. I hope you understand.
But maybe others experienced the same problem. I guess it has something to do with the (content of) comments of the regarding task. Maybe i pasted something in which TDL did not like...
Thank You
Alexandra
