Огляд

KTimeTracker стежить за часом, який ви витрачаєте на роботу над різноманітними задачами.

Проблема: Ви є консультантом з вільного програмного забезпечення, у вас багато клієнтів. Деякі з клієнтів мають по декілька проектів. Протягом дня ви перемикаєтеся з одного проекту на інший. Вам потрібно стежити за вашим часом, щоб потім створити рахунок за місяць роботи.

Solution: Use KTimeTracker to hold a list of projects and tasks. Whenever you switch your activity, double-click on the respective task and see how its time gets tracked. At the end of the day (or month) you can obtain a journal how much time you spent on what task.

Features

The current stable version of KTimeTracker (4.4) can:

organize tasks into subtasks

KTimeTracker allows you to organize your work like a todo-list. You can group your work by tasks and subtask. Every subtask can still have a subtask below it, up to some 1000 levels.

track your time

Whenever you start working on a new task, just double-click the corresponding task in your todo-list. You will see a clock appearing next to this task indicating its time is now recorded.

edit task history and comments

KTimeTracker allows you to edit your task's history and to put a comment for every work-event:

pause detection

When going for lunch, it happens that you forget to stop timetracking before. No problem, the idle time detector in KTimeTracker will pop up after a configurable amount of time giving you the possibility to revert or continue timing.

Options

KTimeTracker 4 has not more and not less than the following options:

Configuration for PDA: Removes the search-bar to gain screen real estate. Assumes a touch-screen and pops up a context menu on every mouse click, even with the left button.

Compatibility

There have been 3 file format changes in the over 10-year-history of KTimeTracker:

KDE SC version	KTimeTracker file
-3.1	flat files
3.2-3.5	iCal files with X-KDE-karm fields, import possibility for flat files
4.0-	iCal files with X-KDE-KTimeTracker fields, automated import for iCal files with X-KDE-karm fields

Because of the iCal file format, KTimeTracker is compatible with korganizer. You can even work synchroneously on one file with korganizer and KTimeTracker. If one program changes the file, the updates will be propagated to the other application automatically.
