- What does it mean to have "children surface" when I delete tasks?
- When incrementing a task, why doesn't it move below it's neighbor?
- Where do I put the GANTT files? xTasks can't find them...

I understand most of them but what are the "?" and the "X" and the "X/#" columns for?
Age = time since task (or it's subtasks) were lasted edited ? = task is private if this column is marked !+/- = task priority and incr/decr links X = task is closed if this column is marked X/# = number of closed subtasks vs total subtasks
What does it mean to have "children surface" when I delete tasks?
Any subtasks of tasks that are selected for deletion will change their parent id to that of the current task id displayed. This is to save subtasks from being deleted with their parent, or from becoming orphans. If there are no subtasks of the task selected for this type of deletion, then there is no difference between the "children surface" and "delete children" options.
When incrementing a task, why doesn't it move below it's neighbor?
Incrementing or decrementing a task changes it's priority, not it's position. If all of the tasks in a list have the same priority, then incrementing one will move it to the bottom of the list and decrementing it will move it to the top. If the neighboring tasks of a given task have a difference between their priority numbers greater than one, there may be no visible difference after the change since the task may need to be incremented or decremented more than a single point to shift their position in the list.
Where do I put the GANTT files? xTasks can't find them... by andy@almlet.net
Versions of xTasks prior to 4.0 used separate files for Gantt charts and hardcopy printable pages. The current version creates these pages within the API and displays printable versions sans theme. If you uploaded files named xtasksgantt.php or printxtasks.php to your site root, delete them.
Why does each subtask have a checkbox and a button?
These are used to migrate (multiple) tasks. If you were to check two tasks and then click the button of a third, the first two would be moved under the third, using it's task id as their new parent id.
