GTimer v1.1.4 - 04 May 1999
Copyright (C) 1998 Craig Knudsen, cknudsen@radix.net http://www.radix.net/~cknudsen/gtimer/

COMPILING: To build, just type "make". To install in "/usr/X11R6/bin", type "make install". The "gtk-config" program should be in your path.

The development environment for GTimer is Linux x86 2.0.36, libc6 (glibc), and GTK 1.1.13. It should build without issue on any UN*X that has GTK 1.1.13 or later. Send me email if you would like to be notified of future releases.

To run:

./gtimer

USING

Command line options: -midnight N If you work past midnight, then use this to keep hours up

until N count toward the previous day.

Example: -midnight 400 All hours up until 4AM will be applied to previous day. -nosplash Do not show the splash screen on app startup. -start taskname Start timing the specified task -resume Start timing the same tasks that were on when the application
last exited. -version Display the gtimer version -help Get help on usage

TO DO:

Add ability to group tasks by a group name.
Catch some signals (SIGINT, for example) so we can save date before exiting. GIMP does this, so it should be possible.
Show the GNU license on initial run of the app.
Online help.
Postscript output for printing rather than plain text.
GNOME integration.
Make a smaller main window (like gtcd)
Optionally store data in MySQL, Oracle, etc. instead of flat files
Add a configuration window to set things like print command, idle timeout, etc.
Export function (tab-delimited text file)
Ability to edit existing annotations
