Tracker

Going through stories, I love to be able to hover to check out new comments or read the descriptions. Lately, however, doing so causes the story list to re-scroll, thereby making the hover quickly appear and disappear, and leaving me lost (it leaves me scrolled to the top of the column--sometimes far from where I was). ARGH!

We have our demo, retrospective and iteration planning on the same day (wednesday). The problem with that is that if we wait to press the accept button until after the demo, those stories become late and part of the new iteration which messes up our velocity.

A couple solutions that came to mind were to be able to set the time which the new iteration starts to a sat 2pm on iteration day that way the demo can be done in the morning and all stories are accepted before the new iteration starts.

Another solution would be to have an accept and demoed button where the accept marks the story as done as far as velocity calculations go.

Another way would be to set the iteration on Tracker to a day after our actual physical meetings but that would bastardize the tool.

We're just starting to use Tracker after using FogBugz for a longtime. Pretty nice UI so far.

One question, is it possible print the listing of Stories in CURRENT? It would be very useful to us for planning but just hitting File>Print gives some pretty ugly results.

I've tried instead creating a Report for this, but can't get it to just include stuff in Current list not matter which combo of query parameters I try. It keeps including stuff not in current (I created a bunch current/non-current things on the same day so I can't just use date as the filter). Also, it doesn't respect the order they are in the Current box.

Half of us are not seeing the same thing in tracker right now. This is very bad and needs to be fixed.

The top of our backlog should be showing about 27 bugs. A few of us see that but most of us see a couple chores at the top of the backlog.

We've tried logging out and logging in. Quitting firefox and restarting it.

We need to be working in the right priority order but we are not all seeing the same things.

Help!

(note, i've also been seeing issues like I delete a story and it is not showing up as deleted after a little bit of time but that is less urgent)

Any way to somehow mark the percentage done for say longer (3 point) stories?

What time of day does the system close the iteration?

I noticed today, after the first week of playing with Tracker, that the iteration is automatically advanced by the system when it gets to the specified day. What time exactly does that happen? Is there any way to change the iteration start time?

We've been using weekly iterations, starting on Mondays at noon. This has worked for us, cause we get to close up some last minute things on Monday morning before breaking for our iteration planning session after lunch. Then the next iteration starts immediately after our Monday afternoon planning.

Seems like Tracker wants to start the iteration at the beginning of the day. It would be a nice customization to be able to change this.

How do you guys handle the concept of tasks inside a story in Tracker? We would like tasks to be visible and belonging to story in a tree view.

I'm having a problem with importing data. The error message I get is, "Import FAILED: Invalid CSV format: undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass"

The columns in my CSV file are, Story, Description, Story Type, and Estimate.

I'm not receiving email notifications. My profile is set to receive both types. Any ideas why I'm not receiving them?
