    Hi, sorry, tried to add this as a new idea, but for some reason I could not do it. So, hope you don't mind, but I added it here.

    So many task managers seem to miss. It is an idea to have, in the parent node of any group of tasks, an indication that shows completeness of the group of child task-nodes beneath. This can be in the form of both number of tasks and percentage, like '3/5 Tasks - 60% Completed', or even displayed as a bar graph if you want sophistication. This can be displayed at the following points in the hierarchy of tasks: -

    All Tasks [12/20 Tasks - 60%]
    > List 1 [7/10 - 70%]
    >> Task 1.1 [5/8 - 62.5%]
    >>> Task 1.1.1 (c)
    >>> Task 1.1.2 (c)
    >>> Task 1.1.3 [3/5 - 60%]
    >>>> Task 1.1.3.1 (c)
    >>>> Task 1.1.3.2 (c)
    >>>> Task 1.1.3.3
    >>>> Task 1.1.3.4 (c)
    >> Task 1.2 (c) [2/2 - 100%]
    >> Task 1.2.1 (c)
    >> Task 1.3
    > List 2 [5/10 Tasks - 50%]
    >> Task 2.1 [5/9 Tasks - 55.5%]
    >>> Task 2.1.1
    >>> Task 2.1.2
    >>> Task 2.1.3 (c) - [5/5 Tasks - 100%]
    >>>> Task 2.1.3.1 (c)
    >>>> Task 2.1.3.2 (c)
    >>>> Task 2.1.3.3 (c)
    >>>> Task 2.1.3.4 (c)
    >>> Task 2.1.4
    >> Task 2.2

    Basically, by simply adding up counts of completed tasks, and showing a percentage at each parent node in the hierarchy, you really can get an overall feel of how well you are doing, without expanding the child nodes. If you were really keen, this completeness could also be at the top of each custom view of tasks displayed. For example, if you show all tasks for the Day or Week, it can show percentage of tasks completed in that time frame.

    Having a good task manager that is an integral part of the calendar would really set Calengoo apart, especially now so many ex-Astrid users are looking for alternatives.

    Hope it all helps,
    Cass.

    Thank you for the reply. I am sure you are already on to it, but I guess the way to do the tasks is to pull the task information from Google into your own database (rather than text additions to the field titles and comments), where you can have all the additional fields you want (like start-date, view settings, categories, preferences), and only sync with Google whatever it has (essentially title, notes, order, nesting and completed status). I have added another suggestion too that really would make the tasks easily into a better time planner...
