First of all, thank you for your suggestions.

This feature is implemented in [URL=http://www.taskmanagementsoft.com/]VIP Task Manager[/URL]. We will think if it should be added to VIP Organizer (or it is better to develop personal version of VIPTask Manager)

The same answer as in the question above: VIP Task Manager already features this function.

iii. it would be a huge productivity and usability improvement if the Organizer supported creating tasks by dropping items into the Organizer: drop a word document for example, and a task gets created that takes its title from the document's title, and attaches the file. Drop any Outlook item (calendar item, task, email, contact, ...) and the "best fit" task gets created, etc. To me, task management is a multi-step process. The first, that of task creation, needs to happen very quickly when there is no time, and no immediate need, to refine that task straight-away. Main thing is that the "gosh this also needs doing" thought is captured.
iv. similar, and in addition to (iii), an optional shell context menu item (Create Organizer task from this...) would be nice (but not essential) |
Could you please post this feature as a separate topic in Feature request section of this forum. We need to know other users opinion as there is so much to be done in the area of 'import'.

| v. finally, the most unfortunate shortcoming of all: I find it essential that tasks can be related to each other, at least in a 1:1 basis, ideally in an N:M relationship. Tasks depend on each other, one task might gate another, two tasks together might gate a third, etc. This is an important reflection of what real-life tasks really are. I am surprised to find the tool doesn't support this, and can only hope that a future version might. |
I see, but how exactly would you like the program to show this relationship, ex.: simply a text that tells that this task relates to that task, or possibility to set a link to the related task, or something else?
