Add customization features #1

Closed toomeyDev closed 3 years ago

Implement basic user-experience preferences/customizations

Goals

[x] Support multiple entry formats (enter hours, minutes, seconds on three separate lines, all one one line, or in a simplified format with only hours, only minutes, or only seconds)
[x] Support user preferences for program operations (prompt/don't prompt for confirmation after typing an entry?)
[x] Support custom names for timesheets, saving multiple different timesheets in an option 'timesheets' directory

Entry format task is approx. 50% complete, needs further refinement regarding simplified formats, implementation of format-choice handling within the program.

toomeyDev commented 3 years ago

Basic functionality for custom timesheet names is working: intend to add a prompt asking if the user is sure they want to overwrite when writing to an existing file.

Added overwrite prompt, improved formatting of output (ie 60 seconds will now properly convert to 1 minute, same with minutes to hours) b9d27ec3db8c68fd0c86acaadb11ad4837ad0263

Added preferences.json file for user-configuration saving, will be necessary for functions relating to entry formats and saving to a dedicated 'timesheets' folder for customization and other user preferences. d008545cec3c934094d7cdc74c0fc55480a6ad36

Implemented option to save finished timesheets to an 'output' folder, can be turned on/off by changing the 'file_folder' preference to 'True' or 'False'. Commit: 94bc6973508030b892142dd4748c15ff78088d2f

Improved efficiency of preferences menu, removed redundant statements when checking for existing output folder after 'file_folder' is set to 'True' Commit: 139ff54e6172661eafadae9420bb9e2cdbd25f38

toomeyDev commented 3 years ago

Finished implementation of user-preference options, added a new reset functionality which will return preferences to default values -> DEFAULT VALUES: [file_folder False, entry_confirmation True, auto_txt True] Commit: 3b4129ed4ede35a399cc0c9ab78ad50a15bbd29b

Implemented the 'condensed' format for entry format functionality, prompts user to enter hrs, minutes, and seconds on a single line separated by spaces.

Custom formats (only minutes and hrs, only seconds, only minutes etc) will require separate functionality to work properly, outside the scope of this issue. Moving custom entry formats to a separate issue:

Simplified-prompt format implemented and working as-intended, all customization features successfully added.
