I have about 50 projects ... I am coming from omnifocus, and I think that you guys are the first true contender I have seen (and trust me, I have tried everything else). I am a power user of omnifocus, and I really love your product, I am missing two things ...

- File attachments
- Areas of focus (folders)

:-(

Anything that you can share about those?

Hi,

Thank you for your support.

Q: - File attachments
A: It has been in our developing plan.

Q: - Areas of focus (folders)
A: You can try use goal to manage your projects. Projects which have the same goal will be all showed under one goal.

Best regards,

Any particular date when will be file attachment aviable? I don't want to be pain in the a**, but you said "It has been in our developing plan" almost an year ago, as well.

I'm more than happy for 1+ year, but sometimes it would be really handfull to post single pic to my task like -
I have a ticket to theater and I don't want to search email, pic folder... just open task with it.

You are absolutely right that Goals are the way to group Projects together. It is good that Doit has Goals. They can be used as Goals or Areas or Folders or whatever people like to call them. But:

When people are asking for Areas or Folders etc, I believe what they (we all) are asking for is certain specific and useful features that make it meaningful to even bother to group Projects under Goals. As it is now, the only thing we can use these Goals for is to get an alternative access route to the Projects from the left menu, i.e. we can now, instead of using the long Projects list, use the Goals lists, then select a Goal and then select a Project. This ability certainly has some value, but very minimal. And there are no features whatsoever beyond that to make it convenient to manage Goals.

Some of the useful features (these have all been suggested before by different people) are:

- ability to group lists by Goal
- ability to filter lists by Goal
- ability to view all tasks (and projects) in a Goal in one single view
AND (I do not need this personally, but it is a very popular feature in other apps):
- ability to hard-switch the whole app to focus on one single Goal (Area) and hide everything else.

The job is not quite finished.

What particular features or capabilities related to "folders" (Goals) is it that you miss most?
