Hi Dave, If the tree node is closed when you drag and drop, the task will go to the end. I thought that hitting alt-Ins would do the same thing, but apparently it doesn't. Does anyone know if this is a change from previous versions? As a workaround, you can select the last sub task and hit insert to add another task right after it. But I agree, the default should be the end of the list.
For your second request, here's a trick you can use. To add a new task dependent on the current task, you can make the new task a sub task of the one that is dependent on. The parent will become active as soon as the sub task is completed. Sometimes it seems a little backwards but if you get in the habit of titling your parents task to be the finish/ cleanup task, it works quite nicely. so, for example: buy groceries make a shopping list When " make a shopping list" is completed, "buy groceries" will become active.
