Mac Support #2

Closed devnetkc closed 7 months ago

devnetkc commented 3 years ago

This supports windows only. Any chance of getting a version that works for both operating systems?

Yea, I'd like to use it on MacOS...

TedTschopp commented 2 years ago

The real issue here is that they decided to use add-ons that Microsoft has said are/will be deprecated and thus this add-on is Windows only. If they used the new Add-On approach for Office, they wouldn't have this issue. So what we should be pushing for is Wakatime to use the new API for Office Add-ons so it will work on any implementation of Office, not just the Windows one.

If I'm not mistaken it doesn't have support for events like saving documents, opening documents and so on.

The fact that these plug-ins are Windows-only should be made clearer on the Github welcome page. This would avoid us having to download and attempt to install it to find out that it will not work.

Can't agree more from a macOS user.

Adding on to my previous comment. This repository needs a README.MD file which could provide such valid information as which versions of Office and which platforms are compatible with this plug-in.

We can't support Mac because we can't use Microsoft's new JavaScript-based plugin framework, since it doesn't support running our extension code in the background on user events such as cursor moved or file saved.

I've added a note to the readme saying it only works on Windows.

fredzannarbor commented 7 months ago

Not good enough. What percentage of your users use Mac? Got to be pretty high.

DerekErb commented 7 months ago

There are probably more of us developers who work on Mac than you may believe.

When I work on documentation in Word I have to calculate my time spent manually.

When I work on files to import in databases in Excel I have to calculate manually.

Luckily I use memtime which is, miraculously, able to automatically follow both my phpStorm usage and my Office usage on my Mac. I don't completely understand why they can and you can't.

alanhamlett commented 7 months ago

You can use our Mac Desktop App as an alternative. We just need to know the bundleId of the office apps to enable tracking them.
