What's new in the User Tasks module 1.25.51033 (NetBeans 4.0)?

  • Define as many filters as you need:

    Filter dialog

  • It is possible now to add multiple tasks at once. #29884 tracked this feature.

    New Task dialog

  • The table component was rewritten. It allows for example to place the "done" column before the "summary" column. Updated icons.

    Rewritten table component

  • Compute progress for tasks that do not have subtasks as spent time divided by effort
  • The code detects user inactivity and suspends currently running task
  • New wizards for the import and export. HTML export is XSL based. Pure XHTML will be generated.

    HTML export


  • Purge completed tasks works now only for the subtasks of the selected task
  • "Compute Effort"/"Compute Spent Time"/"Compute Progress" properties available in the Properties view
  • In place editor for the category shows some often used categories
  • A small badge icon on a task icon shows the task you are currently working on.

    Started task

  • "Collapse All" action collapses all tasks.
  • "Add Subtask" action has a default key binding to INS.
  • "Pause" action is placed on the toolbar for easier access.
  • "Clear Percent Complete" makes it easier to work with checklists. It clears all "percent complete" information for a task and all of it's subtasks.
  • "Done" checkboxes in the table made R/O for tasks that compute their progress automatically. Now you can change this property only from the "Show Task" dialog or from the properties view.
  • New "Move Up" and "Move Down" actions allow reordering of tasks.
  • Now not only files but also URLs could be associated with tasks. The special attribute "URL" from RFC2445 is used to store the value improving interoperability with other software.
  • Different icons are used to represent done and undone tasks on the left ("glyph") margin of the editor.

    Icons for done and undone tasks are diffenrt

  • The view remembers the expanded nodes, selected task and started task and restores them after NetBeans restart.
  • Dependencies between tasks could be defined.
  • Pasting multiple lines of text results in inserting multiple tasks with the corresponding summary.
