Description Ricardo Graça 2011-02-22 22:49:22 UTC

Version:           4.4.10 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

After creating a file in the standalone KTimeTracker application and tracking a few tasks, I opened it in the KTimeTracker component of Kontact and all times were displayed as 00:00. Opening it back again in the standalone KTimeTracker showed the correct times.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the standalone KTimeTracker
2. Create a new file
3. Save the file and then add a task (in this order or else you'll end up with a 0 byte file and loose all data, that's another bug)
3. Track/edit the task so that is has more than 00:00
4. Close KTimeTracker
5. Open Kontact
6. Go to the KTimeTracker component and open the previously saved file


Actual Results:  
Behold all times reset back to 00:00

Expected Results:  
The actual times get displayed

The other way around gives the same result BTW.

Comment 2 Thorsten Staerk 2011-10-09 10:45:37 UTC

I think the reason for this is the X-KDE-ktimetracker-duration in timetrackerstorage.cpp.

Comment 3 Thorsten Staerk 2011-10-13 07:18:21 UTC

I think this patch should make the difference. ToDo: Test, explain here why and look for possible refinements:

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.

Comment 5 Alexander Potashev 2019-06-17 03:52:16 UTC

KTimeTracker is now ported to Qt5/KF5, however the Kontact plugin is dropped since the KDE PIM team and I agreed that KTimeTracker is not very relevant to KDE PIM/Kontact.

Thus, this bug is still RESOLVED as UNMAINTAINED.
