[Anonymous] UberbanditNice tool, i've started using it today and it's great and simple. GTH Lotus Notes! I only hope this one worked on Linux natively but i'm almost sure Wine will do good.

[Anonymous] JandkGood product, but the ini-file contains direct reference to last used disk. [2006-11-20 23:13]

[Anonymous] GeoTrailJandk, that doesn't matter does it? :) [2006-12-04 15:37]

[Anonymous] GoldevilGreat piece of software. I use it every day since about 2 months and I cannot live without it. [2006-12-05 02:29]

[Anonymous] IvanUse ToDoList for abiut 6 months. Very convinient program. I use it in GTD-way (Getting Things Done). [2006-12-10 20:19]

[Anonymous] GabeThis version is very buggy. Some of the default keyboard shortcuts do not work; (ctrl-shift-space) for example.
Download the previous version or wait until the next one.

Aside from this version being a problem. This is one of the best and most used programs on my computer. If you like to organize your thoughts and projects, use this. I have been looking for some encarnation of ToDoList for years and found it about 6 months ago. Hallelujah!

Oh, and if any developers see this. I have only one feature request. It would be so useful if we could drag a Task item onto the Tab of a different Tasklist and have it appear in the destination Tasklist. It would streamline the organization of related Tasklists. Currently it seems only importing a whole Tasklist into another is possible.
Regards.

[Anonymous] Ted TaylorDead links at the download page after having "signed up". It's a pain. [2007-10-03 21:58]

[Anonymous] USB_KxI love this app. The development is quick, releases are regular, which means the author is on his toes. Its a big plus when considering a software.

As for downloading, dont use a download manager.

[Anonymous] zebobUse BugMeNot to download the file. [2007-10-14 19:30]

[Anonymous] AaronNice tool. Transforming the active tasklist is very usefull for presentation in several formats. Good use of stylesheet. CSV-format suitable for import in MS Projects as initial setup or exchanging tasklists. [2007-10-16 01:24]

[Anonymous] GabeMy post from above was for a version 5.2.*
The bugs I mentioned at that time have been worked out. I wanted to edit out the, no longer pertinent, complaint from my previous post but I don't see a way to do that here.
So, my current disclaimer is, ignore my first post.

This program is simply fantastic!

[Anonymous] FakeThe best to-do list manager! [2008-01-13 12:12]

[Anonymous] RobertVersion 5.4 automatically assumes settings saved to .ini file. Nice interface. Needs work. Tree view does not allow for manually setting the view length of any field. Time on project feature seems real time only. Does not seem to allow for manual entry of time on a project item. While this software has potential, a better choice for immediate use would be TaskCoachPortable from portable apps. [2008-12-17 18:40]

[User] computerfreakerWonderful app; it beat out both TaskCoach and DevProject Manager to earn the only Project Manager spot on my computer. I'd recommend it to anyone. [2010-04-07 03:22]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
