exporting the data from time tracker

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hello

i've noticed that the latest version of time tracker doesn't have a print
feature any more.

exporting to pdf, was my only way to backup the data... i would like to see
it re-enabled!

on the other side i'd like to export all the data from a project (or at
least a task) to a csv file.
i will try to implement it before the end of the month.

Hi, thanks for you comments!  

I took the Print option when I updated the menus because I didn't realize that 
it did
anything, since there's no actual code to support printing, but now playing 
with the
older version, I see that it automatically knows how to print the currently 
selected
table.  I will make a quick 1.2.1 release that re-enables that functionality, 
and I
am planning better printing support in the future.

I will also plan to have an export feature in the 1.3 release.  If you are 
interested
in helping to write the code, you can use the subversion repository here on the
google code site, and email me your patches.  Thanks!   I will post here if I 
start
working on this first.

When I checked the project out, I just opened the existing project and was able 
to build without changing 
anything.

Can I suggest moving this up to a high priority? I REALLY like this program, 
and have
been using it religiously since finding it a few weeks back. For my uses it is 
darn
near perfect.

I only just now realized that there's no practical way to get the data out into
another program to work with it. (Excel being the obvious example). I need this 
for
billing, so need a reasonably easy way to turn the logs into a billing 
statement.

Question: I have not spotted where the data is stored. I'm assuming there's a 
log
file somewhere?

in the absence of reporting functionality, it would be great if Time
Tracker could export its data. One model for this would be RatRace,
<http://theratrace.eu/>, which can export as XML

Reply to comment #5:  Currently the data is stored in 
~/Library/Preferences/com.slooz.timetracker.plist but the 
data is stored as a serialized representation of the binary data 
structures--admittedly not a very friendly format 
for extracting the data in your own tools!

Exporting data will be addressed in the next release, which is currently in the 
planning stages.

I would like to see a conversion of the all the data out to csv.  Also possibly 
a couter of how many hours per day 
you have worked on a particular project or task.

I would also like to CSV export, so reports can be run in a spreadsheet.  No 
need to
add reporting to this app if it can just export CSV.

the current beta (http://rainer.4950.net) automatically writes the data upon 
shutdown
to <userhome>/times.csv. Its not really elegant but it works.
