Sometimes I like to get to the notes of a past project or see some notes on an action of a project. An archive state would be usefull. You can also use it to revive a project back to life which I saw somebody mention in this thread.

Do you use that feature? since subprojects is not possible, I use the name of the project to form a hierachy, so <client>-<project>-<subproject> as my project name. I sort on this hierarchy my drag-and-drop. > > 5) Because we use the project name to create a URL, you can't create > a project with the same name as a previously completed one.

Nice to see so many people really using the software in so many different ways :-) Reinier _______________________________________________ Tracks-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rousette.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/tracks-discuss
