Allow to specify Lunch break and show it on timeline

[gerodp]

Problem Statement

Currently, it's not possible to show the lunch break in the timeline. This causes that the timeline view and the task start times don't reflect the reality.

:grey_question: Possible Solution

Allow to specify the lunch break in the Timeline configuration (e.g. from 13:00 to 14:00 ) and show it on the timeline for each day. Tasks that fall in between should be split.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

Hey there! You can either create your lunchbreak as a repeatable task or you can add it to your calendar and import it into your timeline.

Hi @johannesjo!

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Regarding adding lunchbreak as a repeatable task, I wouldn't like to mark breaks as tasks as it can pollute the statistics. For example, it will compute this as working time, am I right, or am I missing something?

As an alternative I though of adding a config to specify the lunch breaks so they'll show up in the timeline and tasks will be split accordingly. I can implement this and submit a PR but I'd like to read your opinion first.

Thanks in advance

Hi @johannesjo,

I was wondering if you have any thoughts on that? As I said I can implement a PR for this feature.

Thanks

Hi @gerodp . Help is always welcome. If you are able to provide a PR with an implementation, I don't see a reason why not to.

I assume you would implement it similar to the timeline work time feature?

HI @Jagdfalke,

Exactly, my idea is to implement it like the work time feature.
