LazyCure 3.7 - a bunch of new features

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Congratulate you on new wave of quality and simplicity which LazyCure 3.7 brings to us! It contains a set of improvements and new features, comparing with 3.6 version.

New features:

  • Subtasks. Select menu Show->Task Manager and create a tree of projects/tasks/tags/areas which you want to use for grouping activities during analyzing your time logs.
  • Possibility to customize hot-key. Now you can use not only Ctrl+F12 but any imaginary combination of keys in order to activate LazyCure window and fix activity switch. Works only in Windows, but if you know how to do it in other OS, I’m appreciate your comment. In order to customize hot-key, go to menu Options and press button ‘…’ under ‘Hot key to activate:’ text.
  • Split activities by comma (’,'). This is the feature which I love very much, because it helps me to save a lot of seconds and make time logging process more enjoying. When I forgot or didn’t have an ability to mark activity switch, I specify all activities in one ‘Now you..’ text field via comma and press ‘Done!’ After that the magic happens - each activity appears in time log separately with time equally spitted up. It is not too much accurate, but if I don’t remember actual time of switch activities (or even if I was doing all of them simultaneously), it is accurate enough. And more important - it is very fast.
  • Possibility to disable option to switch time log at midnight. Automatic switch time log at midnight is a useful feature, if you practice continuous time logging, like Russian scientist Lyubishchev. But if you log only the current day and it ends after midnight, it is useful to turn off automatic switch at midnight in order to keep all activities in one place. So now we have an option.
  • Possibility to close TimeLog Editor, Summary, Task Manager by ESC. All for the sake of speed :).
  • Possibility to copy data via context menu from Time Log Editor and Activities Summary. Possibility to copy data via Ctrl+C and paste, e.g. in Excel, was always in LazyCure, but nobody knew about it. Now it is possible to do via context menu + small additional improvements of data representation in clipboard.
  • Possibility to rename activities on Activities Summary. The feature I was dream about for years. Record activity with mistake, record the same activity without mistake, then go to activities summary, rename misprinted activity - and see the magic.

+ fixes of the following bugs:

  • An exception when invalid time is entered on Efficiency tab.
  • An exception when activity is longer than 64 symbols on mouse over tray icon.
  • Post to twitter is not working.

Quality of LazyCure 3.7 release is proved by 303 green unit tests.

Enjoy!

LazyCure 3.6 - works under Linux!

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

Congratulate you with LazyCure 3.6 release! Here is what’s new in LazyCure 3.6:

  • LazyCure is working under Linux with Mono framework.
  • There is possibility to customize left click on tray icon - open LazyCure form or display list of resent activities.
  • Possibility to manage tasks via context menu, F2 hot key for task rename.
  • Info about current activity is shown when cursor is placed on tray icon.

There are also some improvements comparing with 3.5 version:

  • Switch activity on log off is made an optional feature, turned off by default.
  • Last activity logging when computer is shutting down. If you select in dialog box to log latest activity, main form will be active and when you enter activity name and press ‘Done!’, computer shutdowning continues.

Also couple of bugs were fixed:

  • At midnight new time log is created but is not switched.
  • An exception when linking activity with not selected task.
  • Efficiency is not auto-calculated when linked task is changed.

The great difference between previous version is that it is working under Mono framework and that is why available under Linux (tested under Ubuntu, really works!) and MacOS (not tested, but should work. If you have possibility to test this, please, drop a note in comments). Of course it is still working under .NET Framework under Windows.
