Description Robert G. Siebeck 2011-12-14 22:54:36 UTC

Version:           4.7.x (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Ktimetracker used to animate its tray icon when the timing of a task was running. Since upgrading to KDE 4.7 (from 4.6), the icon does not animate anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Enable tray icon in KTimetracker, start timing of a task.

Actual Results:  
Tray icon does not animate.

Expected Results:  
Tray icon should show an animation (running clock).

I tried to disable and enable the tray icon in KTimetracker's preferencees, but this did not fix the problem

Hey

I'm on Kubuntu 12.04 and KDE 4.9.
KTimeTracker tray icon still doesn't show any animation... I remember on 4.6 (i think) it was with a animated clock, like Robert G. Siebeck reported it.

Please add animation again!

Thanks and regards

Same here.
And not only that, but tray icon tooltip always says that there is no active task.
Tray icon information is not being updated when you start/stop tasks.

I think that the problem is in these mainwindow.cpp lines:

connect( m_part->widget(), SIGNAL(timersActive()), _tray, SLOT(startClock()) );
connect( m_part->widget(), SIGNAL(timersInactive()), _tray, SLOT(stopClock()) );
connect( m_part->widget(), SIGNAL(tasksChanged(QList<Task*>)), _tray, SLOT(updateToolTip(QList<Task*>)));

These signals are sent by TaskView object but it tries to receive them from TimetrackerWidget.

I'll try to write a patch for this ASAP.

This should be fixed with KDE 4.10.1 to be released in March.
