[kplato] problem with kplato on current svn version...

[fmdp]

Hi Dag,

I play with kplato, and here are few comments:
problems:
- doesn't handle correctly the task duration when set more than one working 
plage per day (set 13:0->15:0 and 20:0->23:59)=> all tasks are displayed as 
'1 day long' in the gantt
- can't set ressources calendar (poor workers that can't take holidays! ;) )
- project calendar: when days are tagged 'non worked', it doesn't alter the 
gantt

wishes:
- a link to Karm, to help feeding kplato with real worked times on tasks
- can assign a ressource for a 'mother task', that will assign this ressource 
to all children's taskes
- calculate the right start time when 'ASAP' is selected with previous effort 
sum: 
task1 (effort 2days) and task2 (effort 1d) assigned to Ressource1 and both 
start the 2005-12-21 in parrallel
task3 (start ASAP as task1 and task2 are finished)
Now, I see that task3 start only 2 days after task1, but Ressource1 can't work 
3 days (task1+task2) in 2 days! So, I would guess that task3 will start 'as 
soon as possible', that's to say 'as soon as Ressource1 is free', so, when he 
will have done task1+task2 => 3 days after the start of task1/task2
- add a TODO set of tasks that are not yet plannified. We know that we'll have 
to work on theses tasks, and they are yet ready to be planned (we can 
annotate them, estimate effort, ...)
- handle euros too (only dollars for now) (minor for now! ;) )
- a per ressource list of tasks, in a calendar (as

But it seems to be promising, and I hope I will be able to use it 'for real' 
soon! ;)
The gui is not too hard to use (I miss some things like double click on task 
on gantt to edit it, or things like that) but I found the way of linking them 
alone. I used Qt4 in an other project, and yes, you are right to wait qt4 on 
kde to implement that sort of things... ;)

have nice holidays, and see you next year!
