Great job Claire and Jeremy. I can't wait to get home from work and try it out on my Mac.

Congratulations to both of you!

Anyone try it yet?

Installed. I've just attached my first file to a next action...it was a triumphant moment.

Thank you Claire and Jeremy, I'm headed straight to the donations page!

Thank you Claire and Jeremy.

This is my first post in the forum and i'm happy with your software, it's great. I'm going to update now.

Thank you again.

Maybe a few screenshots for us non-Mac users......

Well, after using version 2 for a little bit, there is definitely a different. The interface is much cleaner. The usage also changes a bit. For example, in the old Review view, projects would automatically show up in the bottom of the window. Now, the user must click on a single action in order for the projects to show up.

All in all, here is my quick (and probably too early impressions):
- much better looking interface
- more options
- more clicking needed
- more control over sorting and views
- more right/control clicking needed to accomplish some things that were a separate button

It looks like Jeremy has responded to what people have asked for. I just hope that the extra options don't get in the way of "Getting Things Done"

(If I can find some extra time, I'll post some screen shots. However, I have a large project due on Friday and probably won't be able to get around to it anytime soon).

softechmatrix : If you're willing to host, I'll post a couple...

Just to explain why there are more clicking (you can use the Enter key too): we had memory problem when displaying the panels all the time, the navigation in the tree with keys was not working and you should find it faster.

In the tree, I think we need to improve the action description by appending some dates (especially for recurrent action). Waiting for your suggestions.

For the right-click menu, there are shortcut keys for all options, with some options toggling like Expand/Collapse, Show Done/Hide Done.

While testing I found myself more and more in the Review Projects tree instead of the Review Actions. But maybe it was because, due to testing, I had a lot of data.

For those longing for screenshots, I have written a quick review (with lots of screenshots) based on my first couple of hours with TR2.0. You can find it here:

Have fun

Just quickly (as I am at work):

Thank you very much for all that.

Just to anwer a few of the issues you mentioned:
- templates projects: it is just copy and paste for now when you want to create a new project based on a template.
- Done Actions tab: check your filters and values. It is working.
- shortcut keys not configurable yet. Will be later. If you want to suggest better ones for now, let us know.
