Description James Coates 2009-08-20 13:06:49 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

KArm had a 'copy history to clipboard' option in the file menu which produced a plain-text calendar output for all or selected tasks. An example of its output:

This incredibly useful feature is (ostensibly) missing in KTimeTracker, or not easy to find/reproduce.

It is true that this is missing. Doesn't the File -> Export dialog better fit your needs?

Not at all, sadly.

The 'copy history to clipboard' export (right click on a task) was ideal for
cut-and-pasting into invoices as below. In fact, the new version (ktimetracker)
in 4.3.2 shipped with Mandriva 2010.0 doesn't work at all, so I'm back on karm
from KDE3.

James.

In this case: confirmed - this is a bug.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I will be closing this bug.
