#1413 Unable to edit tasks

[Alan]

The window that pops up when creating and editing tasks is never shown to me.

This bug appears to be very similar to [#1395].

ValueError: year is out of range

I figured something out. My date format actually had the year omitted. That's what was causing the problem.

My date format shouldn't have been set that way, but Task Coach should probably handle bizarre date formats gracefully.

[Jérome Laheurte]

Yes, the new date picker is a bit picky about the date formats :) I have some ideas to make it more robust.

Hi! Happy to be announcing, all these years later, that Task Coach is now updated to Python3 and development is finally active again, thanks to new volunteers. The project has now moved to https://github.com/taskcoach/taskcoach

I'm using it myself, and things are working better than ever. Packages are available for some common Linux systems and for Windows (note that it isn't recognized by Windows Smartscreen but can be installed by accepting the warning anyway)

We'd love to have you test the updated program, and post any issues that arise there at GitHub. We won't be continuing with SourceForge, just clearing out old issues and letting people know about the move.

Also notice that the in-program "check for updates" just goes to the GitHub link, it no longer will automatically alert you about updates. To get alerts at this time, you'll need to "watch" the releases at GitHub.

Cheers
