I'm in the same situation. I work on Linux using Netbeans, Thinking Rock and SQuirreLSQLClient, all this applications appears as java-lang-thread.

+1 for this. i used Slife for a while - even contributed some AS code for it to do this in Aquamacs - but Slife was a horrid RAM hog. if you can do this and not suck, you will be my gods.

i can easily end up with a day that is tagged "sysadmin" because i've worked in console for three clients. each terminal window has a titlebar which i could match against to know who was what, but knowing that i was using "terminal" is no real value. (i'm sure others have the same - "photoshop" or "neooffice".)

John K. replied on May 14, 2008 02:26 to the idea "Feature request: Application renaming" in RescueTime:

I very much like this idea, but for slightly different reasons. I use a Mac and Linux. One of the programs I use a lot is jEdit, which is Java and is cross platform. From the Mac it is seen as jEdit, but from linux it is seen org-gjt-sp-jedit-jedit. I am hoping that allowing users to rename programs will groups these programs together on the website.

Just to clarify -- I am running ff 3.0b5 on Tiger, but my tracked time is only coming reliably from my Safari usage? So I should stop using FF?

I'm sorry, since FF3b5 didn't work (something I found out about on this forum), I went back here to see if Safari did work, according to forum users. I overlooked that your comment regarding 'issues with the most recent versions of Safari' is 6 months old. Thanks!

There should be no issues with Safari URLs reporting correctly. If you are seeing that as well as Firefox 3, then there may be something else going on.

Can you send me a couple of your uploaded logs with Safari and/or Firefox entries for me to review?

You're log files are located at Macintosh HD:[username]:Library:RescueTime:Logs

Send the last couple of log files from the uploaded directory to team@rescuetime.com and I'll see if I can determine what is going on.

Thanks

I'd like to add that this is becoming problematic. I have Firefox 3b5 and Safari, and it appears that both browsers don't report correctly. I feel too much for reverting to FF2...

Joe replied on May 07, 2008 18:02 to the problem "RescueTime doesn't seem to be able to detect the active tab for a web browser (Safari, Firefox)" in RescueTime:

Firefox 3 beta 4 and 5 broke URL handling on both the Mac and Windows. We have been looking into fixes and think we've got it fixed on the Windows side, but the Mac side has been more difficult, since it is not 100% reproducible.

Rescuetime seems to have become uncoupled from Firefox. The apps still report correctly, but there's no record of sites visited.

Running Firefox 3.0b5
on
OSX 4.11

Do I need to go back to the last stable version of FF?

Of course, there should be a selection for every app (or by pattern), if I want just the app name, just the document or both.

I would bow down and hand over my first born for this feature. It is by far the most important feature for my work... it would also be super useful for putting together time sheets.

EmGeneva replied on May 01, 2008 16:22 to the question "How I can see the filename I worked with?" in RescueTime:

Yay! I'm glad to hear that resolving filenames and directory info will be a feature, it would be great to "tag" time spent in popular applications (excel, word) by the directory that files worked in are saved!

Joe replied on April 28, 2008 13:51 to the question "How I can see the filename I worked with?" in RescueTime:

At the moment, RescueTime is not resolving filenames or directory information, but that is something that is on the near-term feature list. Look for improvements in that area soon!

Maddy replied on April 28, 2008 10:14 to the question "Ignoring Applications in RescueTime" in RescueTime:

Please, add Blacklist as well. So most of the stuff goes the normal way, and some specified URLs go into common "Other web-sites".
It would be close to impossible for me to specify a good whitelist, where I actually have just few exceptions.

I vote that all browsers and chats have also details reported. – Maddy, on April 28, 2008 10:06
