In reply to RAFAEL JOSE BARROS BARRIOS.

Hi Rafael, good question…
When the cover image is expanded on a block-shaped task, the size we show is 400×230. The closer the image is to that ratio, the better.
Thanks again for getting in touch – hope this helps!

Great Improvement! – Any tips for the size of the image so it looks great in all devices?

Hi July,
Yes, I can see how you would use the two different views that way. I will pass this on to our developers for consideration.
Thanks for the extra details, it’s always great to gain insight into how people work.
Kind regards,
Natalie

I’ve done it like that before but it looses the real meaning of the visual appealing on the Canvas view ” Being able to see your task grouped by Categories”, for example if I’m working in a Renovation it’s imperative to see in Canvas view how each task belong to a part of the House or a Bigger Task. Using Tags and Filters all my task will be grouped always under Backlog, NextUp, Done, etc. I Understand that the Workflow view (KANBAN) has to be something totally independent from the CANVAS View but at the same time related, and that we can switch back and forward from “Seeing the task by my Categories” and Seeing the task by the Kanban Categories”. Right now I have to rely on other tools to be able to replicate that, which is kind of annoying. Or if I want to use Droptask, I either have to go using KANBAN (And forget about the appealing of grouping my task under my categories) or use CANVAS with my categories (And don’t use the advantages of KANBAN workflow)

Hi July,
Thanks for getting in touch. I’m really pleased that you’re enjoying our latest update.
How we would usually do this, is make our categories “To Do”, “Doing”, “Done” etc. and then make use of tags and filters to further categorize our associated tasks.
Do you feel this could work for your projects?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,
Natalie

Guys, I really like the update, Good Work.
I’m hoping that you include in the new upcoming updates the ability to use Kanban in workflow and keep the Categories you create in the Canvas View, Right now you either create the KANBAN Columns (Backlog, InProgess, Done,etc) as Categories Names or you create Others Categories but I cannot Switch back from one to another.

Thanks Again for all your efforts in this update.

Like new calendar, but font should be stronger and bigger. Colours are also insipid
Urgency list doesn’t work for me as I have six types of task. I sort by tags and it would be great if we could get a summary list sorted by tag
To be the clear leader you need to include appointments in the calendar, I create pseudo tasks as events and use the very urgent tag to differentiate. I would also like dividers to create morning, afternoon etc
Email transfer is still poor, would like drop and drag, and to see the task initially not just the notification
This app has the potential to be the best for my particular workflow

Hi Sarah,
We definitely don’t want to lose you as a fan. What view have you experienced this in?
If you drop our customer service team an email on support@droptask.com, they’ll be able to help you get back to where you want to be using our new layouts.
Many thanks,
