Hi,
The thing that I wanted right away is, once you have tasks in the agenda, I want to know which projects those tasks belong to. I could just be an extra field in the form.

stevenq, if you need to know at at glance, decorating the summary with a project descriptor, like ‘marketing:’ might be the way to go.
The task’s HUD lists the project it belongs to along with a lot of other information. You can access it easily by moving the mouse over the task label and clicking on the ‘i’ icon that appears.

Can I (or how can I) move tasks from one project to another. It seems as if I can drag them in agenda, but only from a project to the agenda list, and not to a different project.

in project view, you should be able to push a task over to the agenda with a ”+” button.
right now it’s a very counterintuitive flow if you’re in a project and think, oh I need to do that today – but i have to click over to agenda view, open the project folder, then move the item. and now you’ve just switched contexts when you were trying to focus on the one project and suddenly see all of your to-do’s.

Just dropping in now that I have a chance, since the Mentat updates and new products went out.
Thanks for the feedback here.
Aria and Aria Touch for the iPhone/iPod touch have the option to add tasks to your Agenda from within the Task view if that is more to your liking.
Now that Mentat has Context support you can give context to a task from within a project too.
We’ll keep thinking about ways to improve in future versions. Good luck with all your tasks.
