pretty slick idea but it can get into an unstable state where tasks wont start recording time. Also, the placing focus on the right slider is difficult. PLEASE fix this up. its awesome?! and give it a little notes section like a 255 char string description/notes field.
I love the idea, but here are a few suggestions:
1) When I want to make a new task, I should be able to click on Add New Task and then be able to start typing immediately, naming the task from the get-go. I shouldn't have to double click on the item to rename it if I just made the task, because naming tasks is important and always be done anyway, so why not make it easier.
2) Once I type a name, I should be able to hit space bar to end the naming process (and possibly as an option start the timer). I love the way that Google Tasks works that way (just hitting space to make a new task). Makes making long lists easy. Like I said, the timer thing starting could be optional.
Thanks!
Manually changing the time while the timer is running will freeze it up. Have to remove and re-add, but the list contents will repopulate, so no biggie..
Used to work great and was an indispensible part of my Google Sidebar. Recently, however, it seems to have gotten erratic. Timers will often not start at all.
I am an attorney and I really love this gadget. Like a lot of other reviewers have said, it would be great if this could interface with other programs - especially Outlook tasks or calendar.
I have found a couple of bugs: 1) Sometimes my tasks disappear for no reason. 2) after the tasks disappear, they still show up when I copy the tasks to the clipboard, and I can't make them go away until I uninstall the gadget.
Even still, I love this gadget and I can't wait for it to get even better!
Great overall for time-tracking.
A few points/bugs:
- Timers are not accurate (losing as much as 10-mins each hour)
- Being able to edit the time is great!
- Editing a timer while another (or itself) is running will lock up the gadget (no more counting/editing until google desktop is restarted)
- Some sorting feature might be nice
All things considered still a 4-star, and makes my life easier when it comes time to fill in my timesheet!
I like using this gadget. I would appreciate the ability to have this appear in the "Save My Gadget Content" list so that my task data would appear on any of my computers.
I would also like to have the Green Triangle showing when a task timer is running and a red circle showing to indicate a timer is stopped (paused).
As a freelance contractor working on multiple projects throughout a day, this timer is exactly what I needed. However, due to all tasks randomly disappearing for reasons I cannot figure out, I have learned to keep a separate spreadsheet where I log my time to that point several times a day. If it were more dependable in this very important way, I would rate it 5 stars, and I am also keeping an eye our for another, more dependable multi-task timer.
