Version: 3.2pre (using KDE KDE 3.1.92) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Please add karm-like time tracking to the ToDo list. I see this happening in several steps: 1) Add a Time Needed and Time Worked field to ToDos 2) Add functionality to time work on ToDos: double-clicking on them will run a timer that increases the Time Worked. You can automatically update the % completion that way, and make it red when it's more than 100% :) 3) Add the possibility to plan your ToDos, by linking an appointment to them, that represents a certain amount of work time for that ToDo. It would also be nice if the timer under 2) creates such appointments, so you can see what you did during the day. 4) Usability enhancements to 3): - When a ToDo-appointment starts, start the timer on the linked ToDo. - When a ToDo-appointment ends, pop up a dialog notifying the user that he should stop working on that task. - Let that dialog have an "extend time" button that would extend the appointment and push out other ToDo-appointments that follow it (but leave regular appointments alone). That way, you can keep working on something if need be. - If you make adding ToDo appointments just a matter of dragging them to the day pane on the correct hour, you can easily plan your day tasks. - Also good would be that when making a ToDo appointment that way, it will ask you how much time you want to chunk out. If these things get added, I will be extatic for joy. It would enable a task-based way of planning your day, with the advantages of prioritizing that a ToDo list gives. Right now, I use a KNote with my prioritized task/todo list, and KAlarm to track time left, and I gave up on KArm for time tracking, since it was too much to manage. Each one of the steps above would be a good thing in itself, but together they would be fantastic, and make KOrganizer better than anything else I've seen so far. Puleeeze? :) Many thanks, Wout.
Just making sure this bug gets updated in the new bugzilla. I still really think this would be useful to implement. I recently noticed that Outlook has many of these things working, which must mean /something/ :) Thanks, Wout.
They are indeed very useful features. Maybe adding a "record" like button to one column of the short or the dedicated TODO list could do the trick graphically. Dimitrios
A "start timer"/"stop timer" entry in the right click cotext menu might be another option for (a part of) it. A graphical indication for a TODO in 'recording time' mode could be to color the 'completed' check box background in red.
I NEED this, too; it's very unhandy, to type my tasks (events/todos) twice: Once within Karm and once within Korganizer. It's very certain, that many other users "under heavy load" would appreciate that features. For another related thread see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109743
Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created korganizer-devel mailing list.
