I've lost all my panes or toolbars apart from the list of tasks. In particular I've lost the category bar. How do I get it back? I can't find anything in the menus, nor in the help file to explain this. Also I don't understand what the close, pin (anchor) and other buttons in the top right hand corner of these panes do. I was experimenting with these when I lost the panes and found I couldn't get them back.
I've thought quite a lot over the years about what the ideal task manager would be like, and VIP Organizer comes pretty close. One thing though that I had decided was that there was no fundamental difference between a Task and a Category. VIP Organizer seems to treat these things as different. I find I often start a project by creating a task (e.g. "decorate the lounge"), but then I find I want to split it into sub-tasks (such as "select a decorator", "get quotes", "choose colours", "buy materials" etc.). Later even these may need to be further sub-divided. VIP Organizer doesn't seem to make this easy, or am I missing something?
Just downloaded and trying VIP Organizer. It looks as if it's got pretty well all the features I need, but I've got a huge number of tasks currently in Excel that I'd like to import. Can I do this? How do I have to format the Excel or CSV file so it will correctly import new tasks from file? In particular what do I have to put in the ID field, or is there a way of leaving this blank, for a new task, and having VIP Organizer create an ID on import?
