Is there a way to make the details window non-modal again? Design-wise it is not a good decision as it now requires an additional mouse click after an action on the modal window: 1st click to focus on the main window, 2nd click to select todo item. Before 6.4 it was not necessary to change the window focus.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll keep it on the list to consider. You may press enter to open and escape or command-d to close. While task title is on focus, you can press enter again to change back focus to main window.
Also you can move and adjust the window and keep it opened. Thanks!
+1.
I'd appreciate if there was an option to make the details window non-modal! It's not only about the additional clicks/keyboard commands, is also about the visual clutter of a pop-up window.

Wow. Great release. Finally decided to try your App. 
Is there a way to define the default tags for GoodTask in general. I've already figured out to set them per list, but not the general tags.
Hi @Daniel, thanks for using GoodTask. You can set general tags inside 'Settings - Sort - Sort Options - Edit: Tags'. Thanks!

I could not agree with previous posters more. Please enable an option to make the details window non-modal again. What use to be right there . . . now requires a double click. I do not like the floating window. This is especially jarring on the Mac, but I would love the previous functionality on the iPad as well.
I love the new "board" option, but it is not worth the sacrifice/change of the UI.

Mac user here, and I found that the new changes to the quick actions window are frustrating.
Please change the task details/quick actions window to non-modal OR add an option in the preferences to make this configurable.
The new pop-up window adds to the clutter ; and requires additional double-click action with mouse and breaks my existing workflow.
I also tried using new keyboard actions to open the task detail window; however this doesn't work well with Quick Actions - and the user has to switch back to using mouse. This back and forth switching between mouse and keyboard hampers usability of the great app.

Hi there, registered to +1 the not liking the pop open task window on the Mac. Sorry 
I am using sub-tasks and it makes extra steps and chasing the mouse all around the screen for marking sub-tasks complete, among other things.
Also if you do keep it, maybe as option, since it is an inspector-type pane I would expect the keyboard shortcut on Mac to be Command+I not Command+D. See iCal, Finder, Music ... pretty much any Mac thing that pops up that kind of window since the beginning of time.

Option to integrate into main window will be added on v6.4.1 coming soon. Thanks!

I also don't like the separate details window, just as all other posters so far. Please revert to previous appearance, or at least make it optional, in case anyone should actually prefer it.
There's also a small bug with it (Mac version): when you're in another app and click on the details window, it does not activate/focus the app, i.e. the menus are still for the previously active app. You have to click in the main GoodTask window to activate it and get to the GoodTask menu bar.
Wow, really great job with the new board layout 
It opens up a whole new way of interacting with Goodtask and visualizing tasks!!
As I'm starting to explore it more I wanted to ask if there has been any consideration around resizing the board widths? I have a widescreen monitor and would love to be able to increase the width of the boards to see more detail and avoid them being truncated as much.
Thx

Thanks for the feedback. The feature is added on Mac version with 6.4.1 update.
You can set it by checking option in menu bar - View - Integrate Panel.
Hi @s.newave, I'll keep it on the list to consider.
Thanks!

Wow, that was quick! Thanks
Love the new board view but I think I found a bug. On my Mac when trying to drag a task from No Priority to another higher priority the task snaps back to No Priority. This seems to only happen when there is already a task in the column that your trying to drag the new task into. Eventually the app crashed and I had to restart. I don't see this issue on my iOS devices. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks
And I like the new details window on my iPad: ALLWAYS visible is clutter! Maybe a show/hide toggle?

v6.4.2 includes new options for theme on iPad.
Also on Mac, you can drag and drop to top title area on board to move board only like iOS rather than put it in specific place.
Thanks!

In board view, it would be great to move any empty boards to the end of the list of boards. E.g., priorities with no tasks, tags with no tasks, etc.
I'd love a similar option for iPad's list view. The return of the 3 panes with the details on the right side. Thank you for a great app.
I agree. While I love the Board view too, I miss the three panes on the iPad a lot.
