Feature request - Filter out specific apps or tags from list view plus ability to add more tags with a + button #37

Open ThanosRD opened 6 years ago

ThanosRD commented 6 years ago

Is it possible to filter out (not stop counting, just not being shown) one or more apps or tags? (at least tags would be good enough). For example if I want to exclude Chrome from my daily feed, simply have an option (maybe a check button next to the surfing tab). Also since I like to be detailed and assign tags on tasks, maybe a + button to add a custom tag?

Keep up the great work, this tool is trully amazing

hey thanks. There are some simplistic ways to hide things in the treeview, see under keyboard shortcuts here: http://strlen.com/procrastitracker/

Wow didn't expect that fast a reply! Thank you for pointing out this for me, missed it between the lines.

One more thing I may add. Is it too much to ask to implement a really simple timer system? Just an add timer option for a specific app or tag (tag is better) and when it reaches the time specified, sound a notification or something. Nothing too fancy

Also I found out that for some reason, my time spent in Autodesk' s Maya is not calculated correctly... Program thinks I'm going idle (I've activated the show dialog when away in Advanced settings to pop after 15 mins). Maybe something to do with the viewport of Maya not registering clicks in ProcrastiTracker?

A timer would not be hard to add, no.

Not sure what is going on with Maya.. maybe it handles input in a different way from most programs, such that it doesn't register? I don't have the program myself to test with.

After switching off the show dialog when away from the advanced options, everything seems to work fine. Maybe a conflict there then?

Timer would be god sent since I literally replaced rescuetime and other similar apps for this one (also if possible to save the selection of the period filter - i have to select view Today every time the program is launched). I know i'm nitpicking but I like it so much, that I'm sticking with it instead of other options

The way the away dialog works is that it appears on the first user input after you've been idle.. so it should not steal time from the app you're using. Can't tell from the code why this would be interfering with a particular app (Maya).
