Hello Caterina

ad How can I hide task's key on bar of Gantt in Gigpicture? I'd like to have empty bars (first print screen)

With the new Gantt chart 2.0, it's easy, just select Label location > Hidden, or deselect Key and Summary, see fig. 1. We'll release this new Gantt chart module in mid-2020, users will need to update to BigPicture version 8, or BigGantt version 5.

With the classic Gantt chart, see fig. 2, hiding labels is trickier, you need to enter your browser's webmaster tools, and add display: none; attribute to the .task-description class. The 'no-label' bars will only be visible to you and not to your teammates, and once you refresh your browser, it'll all vanish and be reverted to the initial, with-labels, state. Note, however, that the classic Gantt chart will be phased out in the near future.

The Alpha phase is temporary, it will last weeks or months at worst. Once we've released the new Gantt chart 2.0 in mid-2020, the 'Export' button would appear, and provided you have BigTemplate extension installed, you'll be able to export. For now, I'd use the classic Gantt chart for exporting, since it does have the 'Export' button.

Months are labeled 'June', 'July', 'August', and so on, when you zoom-in to 'Year', 'Half-year', 'Quarter', ... Please see fig. 3.

If I critically needed full month names with the Bird's-eye view scale, the one that appears in your post, then I'd probably write a short JavaScript "program" and launch it through my browser's Console, to quickly convert I, II, III to January, February, March, and so on. Also, for those unfamiliar with JavaScript, I'm sure there are online converters capable of such "translation". I'd be more helpful if you confirmed the above solution was insufficient.
