1) I add a new timer
2) I open the Slect Task dialog box, by clicking the '...' button with label 'Timer assigned to:'
3) I select a Project in the dropdown list
4) I click the action menu 'Select'
5) I record time
6) I submit the recorded time
7) I go to my Activecollab website
8) On the dashboard I can read : xxx has recorded 0,25 billable hours for General Category
9) Link on '0,25 billable hours' is http://www/projects/6/time?time_id=1164
10) Link on 'General' is http://www/projects/2/discussions/categories/6?module=discussions

Two suggestions :
- Could it be possible to round to 5 minutes, and 10 minutes, instead of just 0 or 15 ?
- Could the Description of a new Timer be automatically filled as follows the 'Timer assigned to' selected Element ?

This is awesome! I wish you had a Mac version!

If you can share the details, is this a native Windows app? Or you have used Titanium / Appcelerator or other tool to build an HTML app and compile it as native? That will just give an idea on how fast you can build a Mac / Linux / Mobile version ;-)

@Antoine

Thank you for the reproduction steps, we'll look into that issue and see to have it fixed in the next release.

5 and 10 min increments do not seam natural (1/6 and 1/12). Does anyone else uses this type of increments and if you do, why do you find that better than 15 and 30 mins? Just curious :)

@Nirav

This is a native Windows app built using Nokia's Qt.

I never had a high opinion on platforms that use web technologies to build desktop applications. Native frameworks are always richer. Even when they are abstracted with cross platform library, they provide more than web technologies in a desktop shell.

Hi Antoine,

You can add custom round time options. Open actimer.ini file from user settings directory
- XP: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\AppData\Local\A51\actimer
- Vista or W7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\A51\actimer

find section:
[RoundTimeOptions]
tr00=1
tr01=900
tr02=1800
tr03=3600

This are Round time values in seconds. So if you want to round time to 5 min, just add next line:

tr04=300

Next time when you start application in options dialog you will have and 5 min value.

I hope this was useful.

Hi Nirav,

As Ilija already mentioned this is native Windows application created in Qt framework, so it is multiplatform app. OS X version is now polishing and will be released soon.

> a linux version would be great

A quick play - no serious use - shows that using wine seems to get the time working for Mandriva Linux just fine.

I just installed it but Kaspersky antivirus shows it as a PDM.Rootshell trojan

Can you guys please check it and confirm the same?

Hi,

We tested activeCollab Timer installation package with Kaspersky Antivirus, AVG, NOD32 and Microsoft Security Essentials. These tools didn't detect any threats.

Can you give us more feedback information on this isue? Which version of Kaspersky Antivirus you used?

For those waiting for a Linux version... while I've not tested it thoroughly, I did managed to install and run the activeCollab Timer on Linux using Wine.
