#1672 Error when closing since update to 1.4.4

[Stephane Ilic]

I am using Linux Mint 19 (MATE).
Since updating taskcoach to the newest release (1.4.4) via the PPA, I systematically get the following error when I exit the program :

Any idea on what could be happening ?

And if you see the file "taskcoaching.txt" in your home directory, I guess that you'll have a surprise on the siez of that file. Mine is ~800Mo. There's one error message that occur again and again which is registred in this file:

Same here. Any news on this?

Hi, 7 years later (from this issue ticket), I'm excited to tell you that https://github.com/taskcoach/taskcoach now has updated Python3 Task Coach codebase! Packages are available for some common Linux systems and we can add more.

Whatever the old errors were, they are likely different. If you get new errors, we can work to fix them now that development is happening again.

Cheers

Thanks for the update! (wow, 7 years already... time flies :-) )
