KTimeTracker håndterer gøremål og tidsregnskab og er en komponent til KDE's integerede personlige informationsmanager Kontact.

Dette er den kanoniske KTimeTracker manual - og enhver kan redigere den.

Oversigt

KTimeTracker holder styr på den tid, du bruger på forskellige opgaver.

Udfordring: Du er en softwarekonsulent med adskillige kunder og mange opgaver. Når du afregner med kunderne, skal du redegøre for dit tidsforbrug på de forskellige opgaver.

Løsning: Lad KTimeTracker rumme en liste over projekter og opgaver. Dobbelt-klik på den relevante opgave, når du skifter fra en aktivitet til en anden og se hvordan dens tidsforbrug følges. Ved fyraften (eller månedsafslutning) kan du få en oversigt over, hvor meget tid du brugte på hver opgave.

Hovedtræk

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.
