I don't use multiple monitors so THANK YOU for making the mod!! Won't be able to test, but those who've asked for this functionality probably will. Awesome!

Has anyone else had trouble with an error saying the icon won't load? I'm wondering if this is a Vista problem...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is Beta 2.2 the newest version? I assume so, but the order of the files is a bit confusing.

Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion, 3.0 is the newest version.

1st time I've heard of this issue. I don't use Vista so unable to check. If you're referring to the tray icon, are images stored in the "images" directory?

I have images in the image directory. What seems to be failing is the script to draw the tray icon. I commented out the line that creates that icon (elapsed.ico) and not the program runs, it just doesn't draw the tray icon - I always see the clock.

Karyss - unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you and no available Vista box to test. Perhaps others are using this script with Vista and can share whether they've had the same issue with any workarounds figured out.

Thank you for making this. Hope it helps me stop procrastinating and be more productive. How can I increase the sound volume? I use this while reading, and it is important for me to have a loud sound notification informing me of break/work transitions.

Thanks once again!

Until I or someone more skilled finds time to code a browse function to allow users to pick there sound file, it's just the system sounds. As a work around you could go into the code and change the system sound ref. to point to a sound file that's what you want.

Just wanted to post my appreciation for your work on this project. I use this pretty often to keep track of my time and to refresh my awful memory. Great job, keep up the good work!

I was looking for a way to pause, and following your suggestion disabled auto-start so now I can reload the program when I wish to pause the timer. However when I start a new active task, the WBT timer is not started (although the ToDoList timer *is* started). Thanks for the great work Smile

Hi:

Hmmm, thread is getting on in age, but worth a try...

Am I missing it or is there no way to complete an active task or pause it to say take a phone call? I am basically after a simple means to capture a daily work log to better see where my time is going.

So typically I do Ctrl + Alt + L, enter a simple description in the "Task" field of the dialog and then start working. Now 20 minutes later, I'm done writing the e-mail I was working on and want to move on to something new. I do Ctrl + Alt +L again and enter a new task description, but there appears not to be any tally of how long I worked on the completed task. Or is there something I"ve missed?

Many thanks,
pab

I'm afraid your not missing anything. Time constraints then and now made for "lean".

If it helps, my work around is to treat my PC as a never-off tracking tool. The 48x12x3 productivity timer is more like a layer on top.

To your question, if I'm starting a new task I choose "New Active Task", if I finish and start another task, I choose it again. If the phone rings, and it's not something I need to track as another new active task, or take a smoke break, I'll choose "Capture Task/Idea". Perhaps better to call it "Capture Task/Note" Anyway I just give a quick description of what I'm doing that's non-billable.

At the end of the day, I have a nice daily log file I can view in Excel with a pretty good idea of how my time was spent. If needed I'll then massage the data further using Excel. It's not pretty, even a bit messy, but serves my purposes. And as always, the source is available at the top of this thread, feel free to enhance and share.

As an FYI, I use ToDoList as my "ad hoc" daily activities & PM tool. That's why the option to use it is included. It has a very nice task tracker built in. When I need to closely track time spent on projects, I let ToDoList do the heavy lifting.
