Ability to Add 2 or More Tasks Together #209

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
It would be 5 stars if I could export my day's data, but I can see that's 
coming in the form of CSV export. Love the pie chart display. 

My idea:
The ability to add/merge the times of 2 or more tasks together would be helpful 
instead of keeping tasks running indefinitely and pausing and starting the 
tasks as I juggle (and return to) various ones during the day.  Perhaps any 
tasks that are 'linked' by way of the same name can be consolidated into a 
single total time represented onto the pie chart.

Thanks.

Or, use drag-n-drop to combine task times ?

Cool Idea

This is a great app as-is, but being a student and using it for studying 
different subjects in a sitting and seeing how much time I've spent on an 
individual subject through the app would be a definite boon.

I'm taking a programming course in school, but still need to finish off the 
mathematics prerequisites before I can get past my rudimentary understanding.  
With that said I would wager a simple and elegant solution is to change the 
text input box to a combo text entry/drop-down box that stores entries created 
(might have to create a way to clear them too for that "light and airyapp" 
feeling, LOL) by the user simply typing in the task they want to time.  The 
possible ease of this is (hopefully) when the end user selects the item from 
the drop-down menu it pulls that object ID and any "history" it has and then 
simply starts the time back up again giving a clear overall time for the task.

A real basic text example of what I'm talking about is I put in for a few hours 
of study, but I want to take a break between each subject and possibly bounce 
between subjects in a night and look back at how long it actually took me to 
complete:

Task Name     Task ID     Current time spent on task     Total time spent on 
task
MIC 101       UI123               XX:XX:XX                   XX:XX:XX
Break         UI124               XX:XX:XX                   XX:XX:XX
ITC102        UI125               XX:XX:XX                   XX:XX:XX
Break         UI124               YY:YY:YY                   XX:XX:XX
EvilMath      UI126               XX:XX:XX                   XX:XX:XX
Break         UI124               ZZ:ZZ:ZZ                   XX:XX:XX

Granted that is more from an understanding of database items, and not objects 
used in apps, however I can't imagine the concept if not the actual practice is 
too different.  I can mock something up in excel if a more interactive visual 
example would prove more useful/beneficial.

Sorry, I haven't actually gotten into much of the programming field yet, but I 
am so thrilled and I do have some understanding already, but I'm nowhere near 
your tallent yet. :-)
