FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

TaskInsight 3.1.1 will be followed shortly by 3.1.2 with a bug fix.

The task text editor popup in the Timeline view is causing a crash. We just fixed that bug and submitted 3.1.2 to the Mac App Store. We hope 3.1.2 gets approved quickly! Sorry about the delay.

Is it possible to order [sort] tasks by creation date?

Tasks can be sorted by dates (Start, Due, Completed, Created, Modified) in both the List and Timeline views. See these List view and Timeline view screenshots for examples with the Sort menu visible. Sorting can be selected by clicking the column headers in the List view or by choosing a Sort command in the Sort menu. Several useful combination sort commands are provided. Combination sorting is also performed by choosing single sort options in sequence.

Can the timelines be published to a web page?

In TaskInsight 3 or later, use the Export Timeline as HTML5 Canvas command in the File menu. You can also create and distribute timelines as PDF files through the Print command.

How do I duplicate an item?

Use the Duplicate ( Command(⌘)-D ) command in TaskInsight 3 or later. In earlier versions of TaskInsight, select the item in the List view, choose Copy (⌘-C) and then choose Paste (⌘-V).

Does TaskInsight support AppleScript?

Yes, in TaskInsight 3 or later, AppleScript can be used to change properties of TaskInsight documents and tasks, and create tasks. Sample AppleScript scripts for TaskInsight can be downloaded from the Imaja TaskInsight web site. In earlier versions of TaskInsight, use cut and paste of tab-delimited text (TSV) and colorized tables in Rich Text Format (RTF), to export or import data into TaskInsight.

How do I show the day name (Mon, Tues, etc.) in the timeline view?

In the Apple menu, open System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Dates > Customize and use the dialog to set the Short date format.

How do I set the start of week as Monday (European style)?

In the Apple menu, open System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Dates and use the First day of week menu to select the desired day.

How do I hide the Recent window upon opening the app?

TaskInsight 2.0.2 or later remembers the state of the Recent window and the Recent Documents command in the Window menu toggles the visibility of the Recent window.

Is there a demo version or a video demo of TaskInsight?

No. Imaja would like to produce a TaskInsight demo version and a video demo, but for now the features page and the large slide show is the best presentation. Almost all of the features, views, buttons, menus, controls, etc. are displayed there. Please check out the large slide show in combination with the TaskInsight Help for more details on the features in TaskInsight.

How do I create repeating tasks (once weekly, etc.)

TaskInsight currently has no mechanism to automate repeating tasks.

How stable is TaskInsight? Does it crash?

While crashes have been reported in earlier versions, Imaja worked immediately and diligently to resolve crashes. The current version 3.1.1 has one known crash bug and update is about to be released. We recommend reporting crashes to for the best results. Please do not report crashes on the Customer Reviews page of the Mac App Store; instead, report them via E-mail support below.
