DESCRIPTION
A time recorder which allows to track time spent on
projects or tasks by a simple click on the related entry in the
tray menu.
The time is recorded to the
CSV
file
var/db/tinytimerecorder/timerecord.csv
that can be imported into a spreadsheet program for further
processing.
The recorded time can be edited/corrected directly thru the
tray menu (or using the hotkeys
WIN+Alt+F11
and
WIN+Alt+F12.
If selected, an activity text can be entered when start to
work on a new project/item.
If it is not wished to enter always an activity text,
leave the
'Query for activity text'
entry in the tray menu unchecked.
However, if the
SHIFT
or
CONTROL
key is pressed while a project/item is selected,
an input box is provided on that special occasion to
enter an activity text.
Normally when an active project is clicked nothing happens.
If you like to record times for different tasks in the same
project, first select the
None
project then select the previously active project again;
to avoid this additional clicks,
check the
'Enable new task in active project'
in the tray menu.
The hotkey
WIN+Alt+F10
allows to enter a new activity text for the active
project (for this,
'Query for activity text'
needs to be checked in the tray menu.
