# Historical context From 2009 to 2020, GTG used to have a PID (process ID) based locking system, to avoid whatever data corruption/conflict danger may occur from running more than...

I sometimes could benefit from realizing how long ago a task has been opened/created, and how many other tasks it blocks. GTG has this information (creation date) in its data...

UI micro-freezes can sometimes still occur when you first open a task's Task Editor window

2

While I hoped this was _completely_ gone in 0.5, it's not, sadly. With my real dataset (1200+ tasks, but you could probably achieve similar observations with the standard "bryce" dataset...

Saving the task editor's window position while / after moving the window on Xorg / X11 destroys performance on large datasets

2

I can't believe I have just realized today, after years of suffering this performance problem, what actually is the trigger/pattern: window positions. When I open tasks for editing, in my...

Automatic night mode and dark styles support

Since GTG 0.5 has a dark mode setting in the preferences, I guess I should point out that it ought to have an accompanying "Automatic" dark/night mode feature available, where...

3

I don't know if this would happen with the git version and the new core, but in case this is useful, here's a traceback I encountered on 0.6 today when...

Set the app's process name (instead of "python3")

2

This is purely a wishlist item, and very much a trivial one, but GTG doesn't show up with its name (and icon) in the process list, it just shows up...

Show a splash screen with loading progressbar on startup if dataset/treeview is too big to be ready in less than 5 seconds

3

GTG is extremely slow to start, even if I prune old deleted tasks (thanks to the plugin that does that). My XML file weighs around 200 KB and I have...

Tags sidebar's task counts text color is hardcoded gray / grey, which doesn't play well with themes

1

Really a nitpick/unimportant detail, but the numbers of tasks for each tag (or "All tasks", or "Tasks with no tags") is some sort of hardcoded gray color. This makes it...

I just realized that the sensitivity state of these top two menu items doesn't make sense when you select multiple tasks that have no parent:  I would expect being...
