well we could create a default project and task to make it easier to get
started.

If the default project and task came up every time I hit command-T and there
was no project/task present, that would be perfect! My workflow is: I work for
a day, and then clear out everything at the end of the day and write down the
total number of hours on a timesheet. The next day, I have to create a new
Project and new Task again--I can't simply hit command-T to start the timer.

why would you delete all the records from yesterday? That is exactly the reason
why I implemented all of those smart filters in order to be able to keep old
records and look back.
My suggestion was that if you start empty I would create a default project and
task so that you can start recording. Deleting everything every day is not
really the use case I had in mind.

I'm not sure Smart filters based on time/day will quite fit the job...
sometimes I have a few minutes from the previous day that I need to add to the
next day (to bill the client in 15-minute increments each day), or I work late
into the next morning and charge it all in one day. It's easy enough to simply
use a program like Time Tracker (or something similar, if there's a better one
out there) to record my hours and then clear them out each day. After having to
switch between several time tracking programs over the years, I value
simplicity!

well the thing is that CMD-T does not work if you dont have anything selected
in there. The only thing I can do really is to create a project and task on
startup if I see you dont have anything. Simply creating a new project when you
hit cmd-T would be very confusing.

I might differ on that... why force a certain user to go through the steps of
hitting command-shift-N and command-N if they're only interested in timing one
project and one task? This was a major source of confusion for me for a few
minutes until I figured it out! I guess you're concerned that other users
wouldn't notice the New Project and New Task appear in the window.

Thanks, I'm fine with that. Though I'm not sure that these bug reports are
representative of everyone who uses your app... especially people who are
looking for simpler use cases. They may not be the ones who are likely to come
forward and submit bug reports! However, I understand if you don't want to
direct your app in that direction.

well for those I have the feature that if you start up empty it will create a
project and a task. I just cant create a project and a task whenever you want
to start the timer as this might lead to weird side effects.

1.3.8 will auto-create a project task on startup if you dont have anything
