Remember/Sticky/Save timers across restarts #262

Open Wisdawn opened 2 weeks ago

Wisdawn commented 2 weeks ago

I just noticed that after restarting Windows, I lose all my timers and their titles. This is almost a deal-breaker for me.

I would really, really appreciate the option to remember/stick/save timers, or make certain timers permanent, so I don't have to name and organize them every time I restart my operating system.

Thank you.

Thank you for bringing the feature to my attention, @i2van! I have now ticked the option to "Open saved timers on startup," but how do I save any timer? I don't see the option to save anywhere, and as you can see in the screenshot attached, Hourglass says I have "No saved timers." I confirm that I have set up three timers, though.

@Wisdawn You don't need to save timers explicitly, timer is saved when you close not yet expired one (don't ask me why it was implemented this way). Just close application and run it again without any command-line and all timers you have should be automatically loaded (if the corresponding option is set).

By the way, please use the Hourglass modified by me, old one has a lot of bugs I've fixed already.
