Ted's dashboard

+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".)

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.

This idea extends to URLs, in addition to tracking local file access. For example, "spreadsheets.google.com" doesn't tell me which spreadsheets I was accessing. Same applies to wiki pages I edit. I also wonder if the URL in some cases might also somehow reveal (or hint at) whether I was reading or editing the page (so I might use different tags to differentiate them).
