User Task List Options

To customize options related to the User Tasks view, open the Options dialog (Tools > Options), and then drill down to Miscellaneous> User Tasks.

The following settings are available:

• Append instead of Prepend: Instead of prepending tasks to the list, append them to the end. Default: False. This is handy if you're going to type in a list of tasks in sequential order and would like the resulting list to be in the same order as the one you typed it in, not the reverse.
• Save Backups: When true, save a backup of the previous version of the tasklist once per session. Default: True. Backups use the tasklist file's name plus a trailing ~, e.g. {userdir}/tasklist.ics~.
• Collect Work Periods: if this option is switched on, the time periods when you work on a task are collected and shown in the tab "Work Periods" in the "Show Task" dialog.
• Detect Inactivity: if this option is on, a running task will be suspended after 10 minutes you do not use your mouse or keyboard (it works only if you work with NetBeans all the time).
  
• Hours per Day: number of working hours per day
• Days per Week: number of working days per week
• Automatically Switch "Spent Time", "Effort" and "Percent Complete" to "Computed" if a subtask is added: if you create a new subtask the corresponding values of the parent task will be computed automatically.
  
• Default User Tasks File: Name of file where the tasks are stored. Default: {userdir}/tasklist.ics.
