I'm familiar with the process. I'm just tired of my computer being a hobby that I have to fix all the time just to be able to use it. I used to enjoy, tweaking my upper and lower ram, trying linux distros, reformatting just to have a fresh start, trying new software. I've gotten good use out of BC Uninstaller, which wipes the registry entries left behind. I just used the web version for now. I need something that works when I need it. SAAS is like using a pen that has to refill itself every time you pick it up (install updates), and then figure out which end it's going to write out of today and by that time, I've forgotten what I was going to do in the first place and have had to move on to the next thing. I've ridden along with the improvements and in concept they are great. In practice, watching that green circle going around the elephant when all I want to do is type in a note, or add a task makes Evernote worthless for replacing anything. I loaded Minimalist and it just works.

Notes within Tasks
SomewhatPresent replied to Andy Eastham's question in [Closed] Tasks Early Access
I agree. The fact that you can click on a task and pull up a menu, is just begging for the ability to add some quick and relevant notes. This could also be a place to put a hyperlink. As each task note currently creates a header, tasks that aren't actually projects could still hold some info without creating a bunch of headers. -
Remove Note From Task List?
SomewhatPresent replied to Stark's question in [Closed] Tasks Early Access
I've been posting this around the forum. Seems to be needed. I've found a work around. There is always a blank task left behind in the note. I type 1 letter in the note so that I can delete it and that removes the note from the list without deleting the note. -
Tasks by note with completed tasks still show

Notes within Tasks
SomewhatPresent replied to Andy Eastham's question in [Closed] Tasks Early Access
I was just running into this with trying to develop a workflow. A task that can have a link to the related note would help you to keep your tasks in a master note while allowing you to link back to a note related to the task. I'm finding that as I create project notes (to hold emails or other related info), I put the task at the top of that note. As Task Notes in the Task List visually become dividers this can create a cluttered view.. Some tasks may not be part of a larger project but could still make use of a link to a related note. Those tasks could be gathered in a master note and still be able to link to your information as a type of Table of Contents. -
Subtasks or cascading tasks
SomewhatPresent replied to aukirk's question in [Closed] Tasks Early Access
I was just looking at the sub task idea and your idea is the solution I needed. A note can contain a list of tasks and the note title becomes a collapsible list in the main task list. The note title becomes your header in the main task list. It might still be nice to have actual headers (ie the way Cozi does). You simply create a header and drag tasks under it. The header actually does nothing but could be collapsible also. -
Copy note link in individual tasks
SomewhatPresent replied to FDonald's question in [Closed] Tasks Early Access
I was thinking also about this. In GTD when a task becomes a project, the option to turn the task into a new note would be handy. It would then create a new note with the task at the top (still moveable within the note) and make the task a link on the master task list (I know this may create a problem if the task is moved to another note) Then you could begin tracking your information for that task in a new note With the task at the top. You would still have the option of naming that note. -
Horizontal week view for tasks
SomewhatPresent replied to Max013's question in [Closed] Tasks Early Access
Or maybe allow the tasks to be put into a table. Then they could be customized anyway someone wants. That would be especially useful for a calendar table. It could give a sense of "drag and drop for tasks. (the date would have to be updated manually in the task but if you are primarily assigning the date in the task itself, dropping the task into a calendar day would simply be for your own visual confirmation).
