> I should be able to open folder in system browser to continue my work there
That's already on the to-do list. I'm planning to add "right-click" menus. For the file explorer there will be a menu item enabling to open a selected file/folder in the system browser. Will play with it and then think about adding the copy/move/rename/delete operations. I also had an idea of adding interactions between File Explorer instances, but not sure if that will have any value yet.
> Contact list (and action list) should display item names
Yeah, I agree with that. One of my projects already has about 10 actions and it definitely would be easier to find the right one if all their names were shown at once. Added to the to-do.
> UI feels generic
I will check what can be improved there.
> a box where I can glance at status of project, displaying progress on individual tasks
Can you give some more details on how it should work to be a good fit for you? Something like a simple personal task manager?
> It would be nice to include demo project
Got it. Sounds cool. Will add a demo in the next versions.
> the user manual is superb. The software is easy to use and I can see it becoming very useful.
Glad to hear you like it! Thank you! More improvements and features coming.
Cheers
