Description Leonardo 2019-09-13 23:07:35 UTC 
SUMMARY
I would like to suggest a simple but useful feature. 
An option to track activities time.
Just a simple log where we can see time spent on each activity. 
When changing between activities, the timer logs it. 
And of course a report. 

Thanks

I would also like to see this feature request

This is something that kinda existed in Plasma 4.x (for Plasma Active) when kactivitymanagerd followed a 'let's add everything into it' kind of an application. KAMD grew too much to be maintainable, so the scope is now more focussed.

I agree that this would be a great thing to have in Plasma, but not as a part of KAMD. A separate time tracking application / plasma applet / system tray applet that integrates with activities* would be quite easy to implement.

If anyone is game, I could mentor the project. At least the activities integration part.


* Plasma Vault was also in a sense a part of KAMD in Plasma Active days, and now it is a separate applet that integrates with activities. And, IMO, much better than what we had back then.

I have already tried doing some script but unsuccessful. The log wasn't that accurate.
 My knowledge is limited.

It was something like that:
qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities SetCurrentActivity 20cddbba-d1b1-4e73-af18-8d84ef7980eb | python3 /home/username/.local/bin/utt hello | python3 /home/username/.local/bin/utt add ActivityNameLog
Comment 4 Leonardo 2021-01-27 18:14:28 UTC 
I tried to write a software to track activities and it is working pretty well. 

I am closing this "request"

Thanks
