Planner-list make Schedule "On fixed date" (Today) the default / automatically compute "% Complete"

[Steve Kieffer <kieffer steve gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm new to Gnome Planner. Everything's great so far, but I have a couple of questions.


1. I'd like to make it so that when I insert a new task the default Schedule is "On fixed date" (and have the default date be "Today") rather than "As soon as possible". Is there a way to do this?


2. Is there a way to make the entries in the "% Complete" column automatic, for tasks that have subtasks? This should take duration of subtasks into account.

For example, suppose my tasks were:

Project  6d
   A       1d
   B       2d
   C       3d

and suppose tasks A, B, and C were, respectively, 100%, 40%, and 50% complete. Then the whole Project task should be

( 1.00 * 1d + 0.40 * 2d + 0.50 * 3d ) / 6d   *  100 %  =  3.3d / 6d  *  100 %  =  55 % complete.

It would be nice if this were computed automatically. Is this feature present, and if so how do I activate it?


Thanks. :)
