About Task Explorer

Task Explorer - Tasks and Scripts Visual Control

M.I.A. logo             A Short Story and an apology... From this extension's inception many years ago, to the time my beloved daughter and I were working on it together in 2022 and 2023 with her high hopes of it turning into a licensable product (i.e. $$$ in her eyes), to the time life changed 4ever when I lost her in April of '23 and became undoubtedly 4everbroken, to now the present day... after the overwhelming pain of each and every day had started to seem normalized, what we had last worked on together I finally picked back up to continue on, and now the initial preview versions have been released. I sincerely apologize to all users for the absence of any development over the last few years
