Date & time of history items #537

Closed UlyssesZh closed 1 month ago

UlyssesZh commented 5 months ago

Is the date & time of each history item stored? Can I see it on the UI?

hanna-kn commented 5 months ago

It is not currently stored.

UlyssesZh commented 5 months ago

May it be a feature in the future? It can be very useful. Sometimes I want to see what I entered into the calculator back when I did a homework in the past.

hanna-kn commented 5 months ago

I will investigate the feasibility of this. I would probably prefer not to show the dates and only make it a searchable property. It might also be useful to be able to specify the maximum age of saved history items, instead of number of lines.

As an alternative I recommend that you try the bookmarks (in history context menu) or comments (text after # in expression) features. Note that bookmarked items will never be removed from history.

Thank you for the tip. I was aware of that, but it is kind of hard to predict whether I will refer to a history item in the future.

Done. Search by date has now been added to the context menu. The date of the selected history item is shown in the label of the menu item.
