Yes, it's working now

Not bad, thanks!

Benjamin replied on November 11, 2009 10:29 to the question "Twitpic, Retweet, URL-shortening?" in Iconfactory:

I gave Twitterific a try for the very reasons you mentioned, but sorry: The inconvenience of having to manually shorten urls, copy&paste messages for retweeting and not being able to just drag&drop images is just too much to justify sticking with Twitterific, at least for me.

Benjamin replied on November 11, 2009 09:50 to the question "Twitpic, Retweet, URL-shortening?" in Iconfactory:

Agree with the posters above. Got Twitterific through MacHeist, but without URL shortening, Image integration and RT button, it's a joke of a Twitter app.

Deleted quotes still visible to customers

I just checked the page that the customer is linked to from the invoice or quote email. I realised that it listed numerous quotes which I had already deleted. How can I remove those properly, so they're not visible to the customer any more?

I can't find the option to write off an invoice

I remember that there used to be a way to mark an invoice as bad debt and write it off, but I can't figure out how to do it any more. Help please :-)

Benjamin replied on September 21, 2009 12:59 to the idea "iPhone Interface" in Toggl:

I am very happy with the iPhone app, it's nice and easy to use. I am generally also comfortable with the nano timer. I have to agree with Ron though that it's confusing that tasks continue to count for a previous day when you continue the day after. This means I keep creating new tasks in order to artificially separate between days.

ok, I thought I read it before somewhere, but couldn't find the thread any more...

Benjamin replied on September 12, 2009 14:14 to the problem "Invoice had 35% VAT when sent" in Clear Books:

That's probably exactly what happened. I realised that the VAT rate jumps to "Manual" as soon as I enter the VAT text field. The thing is: I often press "tab" to jump through the fields, which leads to me very often ending up having to manually set the VAT to "15%" again. It makes it easy to make mistakes, unfortunately. Would be nice to find a convenient solution to this...

Invoice had 35% VAT when sent

Just a not that the other day, somehow an invoice that I sent out had a 35% VAT rate on it. I didn't double check, but the customer called me, and was a bit puzzled by it. I had to void it and make a new one. I surely didn't enter this number myself, so I'm wondering how it happened...

Add attachement to purchase invoice

It would be incredibly useful if I could add the copy of the original receipt for purchases and expense claims to the system purchase invoice. We are a company with people working in different countries, so actually filing the paper receipts in one place is impossible. Having them all nicely attached in Clear Books would be so great!

Fine by me. It's just puzzling when you have a 45MB app, and what you see is just the little time-tracker widget ;-) Then I realised that it's all the QT toolkit bundled inside which bloat the app. I expect a widget to be substantially smaller, as you can use all the system provided libraries...

Benjamin replied on September 09, 2009 08:52 to the idea "Make Toggl Mac Widget a Dashboard Widget." in Toggl:

I agree. A dashboard widget would be a lot easier, more accessible and probably prettier. As dashboard widgets are written in JavaScript, it should be reasonably easy to port the existing timer to Mac. I'm not sure about the HTML5 offline storage stuff, but maybe even that works, as Safari now supports that. So have a look at the Dashboard Widget Programming guide, you might find that easier to maintain than the current QT based widget!

Benjamin replied on September 07, 2009 14:20 to the question "how to deal with paypal charges..." in Clear Books:

I solved it by creating two separate items in the "re-create" window for the paypal account, one with the full amount of the invoice, the other with the paypal charges. Then, you allocate the first against the open invoice, and create a new purchase invoice for paypal against the second.

Benjamin replied on August 31, 2009 10:47 to the problem "Toggl Widget Stopped Working" in Toggl:

hmm, I just downloaded the latest Widget for OSX (0.3.5.1) and I did get a "white page" upon reload, too. Seems to be a sporadic problem. Restarting the widget fixed it for now.

Yep, I need the write-off. The payment was short a few pounds when it came in. Thanks for explaining!

Benjamin asked a question in Clear Books on August 26, 2009 17:18:

Foreign currency exchange rate discrepancies

I have an invoice that was issued in euros. When the bank transfer came in, the exchange rate differs from what clearbooks calculated when the invoice was created. How to I reconcile the discrepancy between the expected amount in Sterling to the actual amount? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything...
