Use case for timetrace get? #154

Closed jwnpoh closed 3 years ago

jwnpoh commented 3 years ago

Hi there,

Wondering what's the intended use case for timetrace get? The logic of this command seems circular to me: the output displays the key, but I would already have known the key in order to use the command in the first place.

Thanks!

Hi,

you're right that there currently is little value in running timetrace get record compared to timetrace list records. This is because at the moment, all data stored for a record is already displayed in the table printed by list records.

However, this could change in the future: There might be data added to a single record, e.g. tags or descriptions (see #115), which will not be displayed in the list records table but only in the get record output.

Does this answer your question?

Yes, that makes sense now. Thanks!
