#1475 Cannot remove mutually exclusive category/subcategory from a task

[Mario Pinho]

Hello all,
I noticed this on 1.3.32 also but problem exists in newest version.

When a task is assigned a mutually exclusive category or one of its subcategories. It is impossible to remove the task from the category after assigning it. The category must be changed into non mutually exclusive for us to be able to clear the category.

Attached a video and the file I created for the video. It happens on other files I have

Thank you.

However I noticed a new behavior where now the categories of child tasks show in parentesis after the parent task's category. It shows all categories of child tasks even hidden ones (like completed and inactive categories).

Is this normal now?

That’s intended. It should only happen if the parent task is collapsed.

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

Cheers
