I was unable to reproduce the problem, but I will continue to investigate.

As always, it’s on the download page or via the “Check for Updates” menu item.

Timesheet 0.8.3 is here, featuring a few minor bug fixes:

• Fixed a layout problem in the Preferences screen that would block the scrollbar of the project list.
• Fixed a problem with the weekly report that could cause time entries to be excluded from the report.
• The project selection combobox in the time entry table shows only active projects.
• Added a “invert selection” button to the project list in the reports-screen.
• Reading the config file now uses a file-based approach to avoid problems with URIs on windows.
• Added a new report that generates summary duration info per project per week.

Happy timesheeting!

It’s not brilliant, hasn’t been updated in a while, but it’s a nice simple way to track time.

I could not have said it any better.

Anyhow, Timesheet 0.8.2 is here. It includes a couple of bug fixes and two new features:

First of all, I’ve added some importing functionality. You can now import entries from iCal, XML or comma-separated lists. The CSV-filter is not as smart as it could be (date parsing is not very flexible), but it’s working.

Also, the project lists are now sorted alphabetically. This should make lists with lots of entries easier to handle.

Happy hollidays, everyone!

This is a clean-up release. I removed some bugs concerning checks against overlapping timeentries, made editing of entries faster (notable on slower machines), and moved all HTML-based exports to the reports screen.

If you have been using the HTML export format to generate printable timesheets: You will find this ability now in the Reports screen, which is more consistent and gives you the benefit of all reports filters, which are more capable than the export filters.

If you speak one or more of those other 6,910 languages, can work with a text editor or word processing application (no programming skills required) and have a bit of time to spare, please read on.

Timesheet uses a simple localization mechanism. The texts shown to the user are stored in a file, one for each language. Such a textfile looks like this:

//from FirstStartSplash
TEXT_FIRST_START_TITLE = First Program Start
TEXT_FIRST_START = Timesheet starts for the first time. Please be patient ...
TEXT_LOADING_LOCALES = Loading installed locale information ...

...

On the left, there is a string that identifies a particular text. The program accesses all texts with these keys. To display the text shown at the first start of Timesheet, the program asks the localization system to produce the text called TEXT_FIRST_START. When the user selected english as her language, the system will return the string shown above. If she selected german, the german translation will be shown.

Writing new translations is a matter of creating a new textfile, using the same keys for identification, and replacing the english version of the text with a different one (for example, an italian one). There is no programming involved at all.

Creating the initial version might take some time (there are roughly 300 different text entries in the file), but since the texts change very little (and only a few are added per release) maintaining the file should not be a lot of work.

So, if you have a little time to spare and would like to contribute to Timesheet (and help all users around the world who would like to use Timesheet in their language), please drop me a line.
