Hello, I had the same problem last week, but it works again without crashing today, most probably since Windows Update KB5043064, which was installed yesterday. YMMV.

Guys, It seems to work now for me! I don't know why but perhaps windows update finally came up with a solution for this issue?

Lost Whole Last Month of Data

my sympathies! What I do personally is keep my task coach file in a synced directory (like DropBox) so that it is regularly backed up that way as well as the built-in backup. I noticed once that backups were not shown because the window to select them was too small and extending it let me see more backups. I don't expect that is your situation though. If you have no other backup that you do otherwise, then I'm not sure if the data can be retrieved. Hard to know what happened. Besides having auto-save...

Hello everyone, you can also use the button in the user bar to save. There are no problems with this, it just needs to be displayed. However, since I also have to export the file in CVS format, I have to save it and as soon as this function is selected, the program crashes. I hope there is a solution for this; uninstalling the update is only a short-term solution, but it does not solve the problem in the long term.

I tried the experiment last night as well, and I had the exact same experience you described, LangtonBen. :(
-
Thank you for the report. Unfortunately, that solution did not work for me. I uninstalled TaskCoach 1.4.6, installed 1.4.5, then tried to export. I still see the same issue - the File Explorer dialog opens, hangs for about 2 seconds, then the whole application crashes.

Hi Georg, Thank you very much for this solution! I tried it and it worked like a charm! I had never thought of or had experience with creating a virtual machine, so I really appreciate your proposed solution to this problem. I finally stumbled through the process tonight, and I was able to export my Task Coach session with the latest Windows Update installed! Thank you again!

somewhere here I've already mentioned that the revival effort is at https://github.com/taskcoach and there are multiple people at least supposedly interested in working on that. I can't predict anything about success or time-frame unfortunately, but encouragement there or recruiting other help is probably worth doing if you can

Hi All I use taskcoach and down load the csv file monthly. I removed the latest update and managed to download the file as normal. I have tried it with windows 11 and it seems fine on that OS Has anyone found the same with windows 11? thanks Dave

Bad news :( I see the last update was in 2021. Can we hope that there will be another version after 3 years now? Does anyone have information about that? Once will another windows update, and another etc... It's not optimal to use the OS without safety updates. Can we hope that someone somewhere will solve this problem? I wish someone done that...

I've the same issue. I've uninstalled the windows update mentioned, and it works fine now.

With the Windows Update KB5039211 installed, I experience Task Coach crashing any time Windows' File Explorer is prompted to open, which includes the following. Any attempt to export information Trying to "Save as..." the Task Coach file Opening a Task Coach file Etc. I am able to use Task Coach as long as it doesn't prompt Windows' File Explorer to open. For reference, I have always had autosave turned on, so autosave doesn't change the crashing behavior. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling...

So, the crazy workaround is to use Task Coach on some system that is pre-Windows-update and not crashing. Open a file. Save it. Close Task Coach. Then get the .ini which should have the info about what file-from-before to start with. https://answers.launchpad.net/taskcoach/+faq/1061 Copy/save the .ini and then with the Windows-update still, you should be having Task Coach automatically open the file, and with autosave on, both opening the file and saving will not use the filemanager interface — I...
-
I experienced something similar, in a different process that has no contact with "save" function. Task Coach can't use any function what has to open filemanager. For example "open" or "save as". I tried it 4 different pc/laptop. The problem was the same. File manager was opened and after 2 second Task Coach application made closed. By the way I use autosave, but this issue shows up before have to do save, already at the first "open". There is a temporary solution, but it's unconvenient. The needed...
-
Hi everyone, the problem with having autosave turned on is that you may at some point simply close TaskCoach (after clicking yes to a final save) but then the message "errors have occurred" (or something like that) shows up and you are left with just having saved a corrupted file. Which sucks. It's the reason I save manually. So all I can do for the time being is not installing windows' recent update and hope for the best.
-
Thanks for the info! FWIW, I must already have autosave turned on; I don't actually save - where I am running into this issue is when exporting. It opens the File Explorer dialog, which is non-responsive, for about 2 seconds, then the whole application closes.
-
Hi all, I'm thinking the main workaround is to turn on autosave (and to quit Task Coach after that so the autosave setting is stored in the .ini). Please confirm whether that at least works. If you do some backup routine of your files, then autosave is less risky, you can go back to a backup snapshot. That's something outside of Task Coach. It's too bad that manual save is broken with this update. I don't think that will be fixed until Task Coach is brought up to newer standards.
-
Hi there! This is the same issue that I'm having over at Ticket #565. The culprit Windows Update is KB5039211. I don't know what Windows did to mess up the interface with File Explorer and Task Coach! The only way I can export data from Task Coach is by uninstalling the Windows Update.
-
I also started having this issue after a recent Windows update. I don't think it is keyboard-related; I believe the issue occurs when the File Explorer dialog is opened by any means. I tried various fixes and workarounds, such as: * sfc /scannow * Replacing the TaskCoach.ini file * Using the portable application * Running as administrator * Changing the compatibility level that the app runs under Removing the Windows update isn't a good option for me, so a workaround would be much appreciated.

Hi Aaron, thank you for your reply. If it helps at all, I did look at the Event Viewer (native to Windows) and the error occurs due to the windows.storage.dll file. Does that help narrow anything down? The associated Event ID is 1000.

Geez, this stinks, second report of this, and since you tried those things, I don't have a solution. I'm imagining we need to get Task Coach finished updating to Python 3 and then work from there to get it to be compatible with the latest system updates. It might be too hard to otherwise track down and fix this bug (and maybe it will just be fixed when everything is updated.

I do not know what's going on, but potentially if the revitalizing works out, issues like this will get fixed. I too agree that nothing out there is quite like Task Coach. I want to see it back on track and updated. Glad you have it working for now, closing this for the time being. I can re-open the ticket if needed.

Update: So deinstalling the most recent windows security update (I use Windows 10) has re-enabled me to do the shortkey to save manually. Apologies for notr esponding to you last question previously: I did not even get a chance to use my cursor or keyboard, because it immediately crashed w/o me having any chance to do anything. Why does a windows update have such an effect?

Hello Aaron, first all thank very much this quick response! I have news already: I have just removed the recent Windows Update from June 12th 2024, in a desperate attempt, because I remembered that there was this update going on on both my laptop and my PC. So I removed this update and lo and behold, it looks like it's working again! At least on my PC, I will try and do this procedure for my laptop as well. To your input: I love TaskCoach, it is by far the best piece of software for GTD in my opintion....

Incidentally, this is the first ticket where I get to say that efforts to revitalize Task Coach development are at least active. Multiple people together are starting work to get Task Coach updated to newer versions of things so development can then continue. Until that is done, things are still stagnant for updating or fixing though. I think we might be able to solve your problem though. I'm guessing there is an issue with the .ini file that is causing a crashing. So, one way to check that is to...

I would like to thank you both Sylvain and Hongshe very much for your dedication and effort you put in your work that is pushing Task Coach forward, step by step, closer to a revived version that can hopefully reach more people. And also thanks to Aaron for his encouragement and will to keep being involved in the development and coordination of the project. It really gives me hope that the effort is worth it and, although these are busy times for me, I hope to be able to contribute more to it.

I'm really touched by your answers because I've been using this project for over 10 years. This year, my crazy resolution was to make it functional without necessarily being integrated because of version 2.7. It deserves to move forward but although I have programming ideas from students from twenty years ago,. They are old and I didn't know python or github. I would like to apologize for the way I did things. I am attracted to programming because it is the mastery of the future. I embarked on this...

I was seriously consider what you said. I also appreciate Codeberg.org's dedication, yes, I do either! I love their idea that build behind a non-profit structure, that make thing more idealism.

I am happy to continue helping where I can (non-code). My personal preference would be to use Codeberg.org because I appreciate their dedication to software-freedom and I like the tooling. It is similar to GitHub. I grant that GitHub has the advantage of being where more people already are. I agree about the move away from SourceForge anyway. I personally only know Git and not Mercurial, but I'm not a programmer really, so my views on this are less relevant. I'm glad that Jerome has not completely...

I don't know if the original team of taskcoach still want to continue this program, but if they don't, I suggest we fork this project to github and create an organization on there for manage the next generation taskcoach project. I personally think github is a better place for manage git projects and communications and there have more contributors might join.

Just wanted to post that I'm so so so happy to see two people connecting and working on this.

Thanks for checking:) I think you are right, python2 already obsolated and no reason to keep compatible even with 3.8.

In the meantime you can just do what the current tests are doing, i.e. instantiate Translator at module level in your top-level test script

soory for the tardive answer. I'm surprised that a unit test can ask for a specific parameter!? and I'm only on Python 3 so test/test.py doesn't necessarily work! I'm looking into turning .po into .mo for use in gettext.

files that are needed to retain setup are just the .tsk file and the .ini

David Jameux posted a comment on ticket #1722
Hi Aaron, Thanks a lot for taking my problem into consideration. I could not improve anything by working on the .ini file but I discovered something interesting: in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, TaskCoach works fine under the default GDM (Ubuntu/Wayland?) but crashes under Flashback Metacity (my default GDM). Please find the logs below: // Restart Ubuntu to test Metacity and to check if TaskCoach works as well under Metacity as under Wayland david@VBoxVM-Ubuntu22:~$ script -a /home/VBoxVM_Ubuntu_22_configuration_command_line.txt...
-
The very first instantiation of Translator must specify the language, and subsequent ones can just omit it (see the Singleton metaclass in taskcoachlib/patterns). In the base repo this is done at class level in wxTestCase (in tests/test.py) for unit tests.

Brendon posted a comment on ticket #563
Handy to know the effect of preventing the as-is .delta file from loading, just in case, however the shutdown error is persistent. Just a thought, what files would need to be kept aside to reinstate status quo after a clean reinstall?
-
only other thought which I doubt is relevant is that you can remove the .delta file that is stored next to the .tsk file (while Task Coach is closed), as that will get recreated next time the file is open. That sometimes is good for cleaning up slowness and such at least.
-
Thanks for your response Aaron. I did as you suggested and, as you thought, the issue remains. I have subsequently reinstated my original .ini file for convenience of not having to reconfigure the layout etc. As I said in my original post everything else functions fine and no information is being corrupted to my knowledge so I'll just keep trucking along with using TM. Let me know if anything else springs to mind.
