Gantt Project not opening

olku · October 2, 2020, 8:14am

Hello,

I tried to search previous discussions but none of them seems to help.

I try to run ggant project, loading window will open also icon into the taskbar, and then closes. But in the task manager, it shows that it’s running.

Please help!

Is there anything in the log file? The log file is ganttproject.log and it sits in your home folder.

You need one with the name ganttproject.log, with no other extensions, produced right after the attempt to launch GanttProject.

Well, it turned out not very useful.

So, we have a couple of articles is the Knowledge Base about issues on Windows. You may try them both: https://github.com/bardsoftware/ganttproject/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aknowledgebase

Also, you may want to try using GanttProject 3.0 beta which comes with Java Runtime version 11 and may work differently. Download it from here: https://www.ganttproject.biz/download#download30

Hello,

So… I got GanttProject 3.0 working.

Now I have some practical questions.

Can I add a task duration hours instead of days?
Can I add real consumed hours?
Can I make comparisons between actual and estimated hours?
Can I take out Chart prediction vs. actual, line chart for example?
Can I track performance?

Basically functions that MS Project has.

Best regards,
Oliver

No, sorry (this is in the FAQ)
No, sorry.
Comparing Planned Vs Actual
Probably not.
Probably not (not sure what do you mean).
