  I spent hours with this program today. It installed OK, but I just could not get it to respond very well. Tried to set up a single, though complicated project in the Goals area. Frustrating! I could not establish a proper hierarchical tree of folders, as hard as I tried. And the Help notes simply added to the confusion, as I never did located the screens that it referred to.
  
  I like the concept of the program, but will pass until it is more fully developed.

  Hi Tom,
  
  The help file is admittedly poor and out of date. Setting up hierarchical tasks in the Goals window involves creating folders and then arranging them by dragging and dropping. A folder will be created as a top level folder if a task is selected when creating a folder. A folder will be created as a child folder if a folder is selected when creating a folder. These can then be rearranged by dragging them onto other folders or right clicking and using the 'Set as Root' folder. It works in much the same way that folders are created in Windows Explorer.
  
  There is an introduction video on the goals window at http://www.watership-planner.com/videos/goals-intro/goals-intro.html with more videos on the way.
  
  I am the sole developer and read all feedback submitted to the site. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions, I am always more than happy to help.
  
  Best regards,
  
  Mark

  Mark, thanks for yr prompt reply. I've already uninstalled the program, but with yr reponse, I'll reinstall and give it another try.
  
  I really do like your concept for the program and really want to see it work.
  
  I of course looked at the videos. A suggestion: they move too fast for a newcomer to comprehend; slow them down.
  
  Let's take our discussion offline and into private email. Maybe, as a potential user, I can provide some input and support to you.

  I tried a lot of similar programms (when I say "a lot of" that means maybe hundred or more) but this one beats all of them with almost all features i looked for in one place (scheduling, tasks showed in calendar and in tree view, planning, time tracking, statistics, goal setting.. ). Wonderful.
  
  But two things still stop me from buying :
  
  1. I found a few little "bugs", or at least a few weirednes in program behavior, that, in my opinion, shouldn't appear in software which costs read more90 USD. But I have to say that those things are not big ones, and doesnt impact any functionality of program - most of them is visual in nature.
  
  2. It seams that last version of program is from 1.5 year ago, and there is no sign of any recent activity in making program better (as mentioned - syncronisation, or import - export data, or some new feature, beter statistics, or just visual redesign.. )
  
  I hope that developer should continue work on this beautiful peace of software.
