Re: Planner-list Task view

["Sébastien Vigneau" <sebastien vigneau gmail com>]

I agree with Doug about the bold font: it  would be better if the same level of indentation would be either always in bold or always in normal font. Changing the font strength depending on whether tasks have subtasks is a little bit disturbing.

I have also another, quite annoying,  usability issue. In the Gantt view, the bars in the graphic panel are a little shifted up as compared to the text in the left panel. This is really a problem when starting to have a lot of tasks.

And, again, I also think planner is a great tool and would like to thank you for developing it.

Last but nor least, have a Happy New Year!

Sébastien

I understand what you mean, but I think this use of boldface has
readability advantages as well. In the end I think it will be a matter
of taste for which I would not like to include a configuration item.

Although if many people think no boldface is better than boldface, then
I'd change it.

Cut & paste is definitely a feature we would like to have. It's on our
to-do list: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341504
