    video and audio are always "fun"?

    Since I work with audio and video, the title of the particular Category - "Fun" - doesn't sound right to me.
    Something that you work with for hours a day (and nights) and gives you lots of headaches can't be exactly "fun"... ;-)
    Maybe the name of the Category can be just Audio/Video?
    What do you guys think?

    Using RescueTime Offline?? Last reply on June 26, 2008 15:51.

    This looks the the perfect app. It has everything I need, except that it posts the data to the web. I NEED an app like this, but I value my privacy enough not to send the info off into cyber-space. Any chance of creating a version of RescueTime that logs and processes all the data locally? I would be happy to PAY for an app like that.

    Also, often I use my computer (laptop) offline, and I still want to be able to log my usage.

    I have read the privacy policy, but blind trust is not enough. I really dont need my data going out into cyber space at all.

    Can't access the application when "hide dock icon" enabled Last reply on June 23, 2008 09:32.

    I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded RescueTime, installed it, and it was working fine. Then I saw a preference that said "Hide Dock Item," which I clicked, relaunched the application, and now I can't access it. I have a RescueTime menu item on my menu bar, but I can't click it (as I could when I had a dock icon). RescueTime doesn't show up in my application list or my force-quit list. Besides the menu icon (that I can't click), I'd have no way of knowing the program was even open.

    Help! How do I undo this, or at least get the menu icon to work?

    Thanks,
    Julie

    Project #'s Last reply on May 08, 2008 20:57.

    I'd like to track my work time daily by project #'s that I create rather than sites or apps. Is there a way to create some kind of numbered apps so that my time could be tracked by my own project # system?

    RescueTime mobile phone software Last reply on June 10, 2008 03:30.

    Track mobile phone calls with RescueTime. It would be great to have client software that's installed on my phone that sends usage stats to my rescuetime account so I can track all my activities

    Hibernating confuses RescueTime? Last reply on May 26, 2008 04:38.

    I put my computer on hibernate at the end of the day. It seems RescueTime gets confused sometimes and would record my usage as "Windows Explorer" during hibernation -- even after I close all applications and any open Explorer window. I can't reproduce this problem, but it happens about 50% of the time.

    How do I identify the "Unknown URL" untagged app? Last reply on May 26, 2008 00:06.

    What would "Unknown URL" possibly mean?, I consistently have this application every day, but can figured out the meaning.

    Allow users to download CSV aka spreadsheet and reupload to you

    See my previous post "Need better way to delete erroneous tags and favorite tags"

    Can you allow users to download a spreadsheet/csv file with three columns.
    App/website (or however you are recording it at finest level of detail)
    Tag (or tags)
    Classification (only to make it easier for me to chose my own tags)

    Note: if its simpler a separate record for each tag when an app is multiply tagged is fine.

    Allow me to manipulate this off-line NOT to change App/website or classification but just to retag the apps using (say) Excel to drag tag's to multiple apps etc.

    Probably a separate column where 1 means add and 2 means delete the tagging of an app

    I have my apps tagged as:
    AppA:tagA, tagB - AppB:tagC - appC-tagA

    eg you send me:
    appA tagA classA
    appA tagB classA
    appB tagC classA
    appC tagA classB

    I send back:
    appA tagA classA X
    appA tagK classA
    appB tagC classA X
    appC tagL classB

    result after you update is:
    AppA:tagB,tagK - AppB:<no> - appC-tagA,tagL

    ie. don't touch app-tag combos I don't send back and make requested additions/deletions.

    You mentioned in a separate post that XML could "somehow" be acquired by users. If that's a lot easier for you then I could probably generate a syntactically correct XML file to cover above but IMO using CSV would be a lot easier for most

    Need better way to delete erroneous tags and favorite tags

    I spent a couple of hours the first time I used RescueTime tagging applications and web-sites. After looking at my stats for the first week I realized that the "scheme" I was using "all wrong"

    I was hoping to find a "clear all tags" button so I could start over.

    I'm now going through the painfully slow process of trying to remove all tags. Uggh - getting server errors etc.(502 proxy error)! Also the web page "appears" to allow stacking multiple requests but I think in reality its only doing the first one I click [Remove It] on and throwing away anything else. I tried to short-cut the process by starting multiple tabs but its just gives me the above error.

    Finally I've got rid of all my existing tags ... how do I clear out my favorite tags ... will these just "age out" when I add new tags?

    See next post for a suggestion ...

    Edit add ... just discovered that when I [Select All] before removing a tag it only affects the current page .... sigh ... 5 more pages to go :-(

    Vista plus new installer still won't install update Last reply on May 21, 2008 15:28.

    I'm running Vista and can't get the latest installation to finish. I ran the RescueTimeInstaller.exe first per the latest instructions for Vista users. At the final stage of the installation, before clicking "Finish", if I exit the program the installation dialog disappears. If I don't exit and I click "Finish" the installation fails and it doesn't identify the error. Just says "Check log for details". (I am a newcomer so have yet to find where the log is.)
    What is the fix for ths?

    Why is RescueTime using 98% CPU time? Last reply on May 17, 2008 16:07.

    I work from home as a Customer Service Rep for a major credit card company. I use the PC exclusively for that 6-8 hrs/day 5 days/week. I just began using RescueTime this week,and today, about 1200local my RescueTime cpu usage went to 98%, severely impacting my ability to do my job. Right now, it is varying between 70% and 90%. Reported by Windows Task Manager. I will have to remove RT if i cannot resolve this issue.

    Rescue time lost my tracking data Last reply on May 11, 2008 20:09.

    Rescuetime tracked my time usage for a few days, and now says it has no data for me. I use firefox and have AVG spyware and Windows Defender active. I tagged many sites and that is also now lost.
