All of the tags in the "time spent" graph are not available. I have close to 30 tags, but only 7 or 8 show up in the "slice" dropdown box. Any ideas on what may be wrong?
I noticed that in the log files there is an attribute for both app_name (i.e. Photoshop) as well as window_title (i.e. TopSecretClient_HomePageComp_01.psd)
Is there any way to see reports in the dashboard on the window title attribute? Right now it seems to only expose the app_name.
I may work on several different client projects all within Photoshop throughout the day. If I'm smart about my file naming I could then track my time across projects VERY efficiently using RescueTime!
It would be similar to how you break up Firefox usage to show website data.
This sort of thing would be very important to us and would help me sell the idea to the CEO to pay for the Pro version! ;) ca-ching! $$
Is there a way to specify the end of the day, similar to choosing Sunday or Monday as the beginning of the week?
Namely, a lot of times I work until 5am, and I normally associate those hours with the previous day. It's all based on the idea that the day changes when I sleep, not at midnight.
Clearly not a huge issue, but what do people think?
Seems the problem with the high CPU load while viewing the dashboard is back with Firefox 3.
I installed the final version of Firefox 3 today and now the cpu usage rises again to nearly 100% when viewing the dashboard.
Flash version is 9.0.124 and OS is Windows XP.
List view and App/Site detail view still work fine.
"Blank web browser" is being logged as a "site" I spend a lot of time on. Problem is, my browsers (windows or tabs) are never "blank". Any idea what this refers to and how to fix it?
I use Firefox 2.0.0.14 on a MacBook Pro running 10.5.2.
im using rescuetime on win2k with mozilla firefox 2.0
last week all was ok, but now, after the last upgrade, there is no label at all on any graph (categories, tags and apps).
additionally, Time Spent and Goals dont show at all.
Efficiency and Productivity are ok.
i can see graphs (histograms), but they have no meaning for me now, as they are not labeled.
was this a bogus upgrade?
can i revert to previous version?
PS. ive checked in IE 6.0 and got a slightly different behaviour:
Categories, Tags and Apps: labels not shown
Time Spent: ok
Goals: not shown
Efficiency and Productivity: ok
It looks like there is a bug with Group tags. It is not possible to remove a tag. Once you have tagged something deleting all tags on an App and replacing with another tag adds the new tag without deleting the old one. The functionality works properly for personal tags. The work around at the moment is to delete a tag completely and then add it back.
Feature request: an option to change the default view from weekly to daily -- I want to be scolded for what I'm doing *now*, not what I've done average over the rest of the week.
Idea: make the month display show the last thirty days rather than or in addition to the calendar month.
At the beginning of the month, this view doesn't really show anything useful. It's April 1st but I can't display my "time spent" for any time earlier than yesterday unless I choose "this year" which is too slow on my computer. By contrast, yesterday I could see a lot of information in the "this month" view.
I think this should change because it doesn't make sense that the amount of info you see in "this month" should be so variable based just on whether the date is a low or high number.
On the dashboard, I have a Time Spent chart. It says that at 4pm, I spent 24 minutes of "discretionary" time. Discretionary is the tag that I used for all apps and URLS that are time wasters. I couldn't remember what I was doing at 4pm, so I tried clicking on the 4pm bar chart to see what I was doing then, but that didn't show me anything. How do I find out what I was doing at 4pm (I am trying to figure out what I was wasting my time on)?
Viewing RescueTime's dashboard maxes FireFox CPU utilization using either FireFox 2.0.0.12 or FireFox 3.0b4. First it draws the graphs nice and cleanly, and then spikes up to 99% and sits there.
I'm using Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115. (More plugin info below...)
The page hauls my browser to a halt; it's unusable afterwards. It happens every time.
Extensions in Firefox are:
Adblock Plus (but RescueTime is green-lit)
CuteMenus - Crystal SVG (just a menu hack)
Firefox Showcase (but not in 'continually render' mode)
Google Notebook (but not open)
Nuke Anything Enhanced
Session Manager
Web Developer
Plugins in 3.0b4 are:
Adobe Acrobat
Google Updater
iTunes App Detector
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U3
2 Microsoft DRM plugins
Mozilla Default Plug-in
QT 7.4.1
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115
Windows Media Player DLL
Might it be useful to be able to set an "ignore threshold" of sorts for apps or sites that are used under a certain amount of time? For instance, webpages that are open for 15 seconds or less (or some other user-definable number) are not logged. This might be useful to cut down on the massive amount of websites that I've visited for less than a few seconds but end up adding up to several hours in the 'undefined' category. Most sites I've visited for that little of time are popups or something, or very likely sites I'll never go to again, and thus don't want to take the time to properly tag.
Does this make sense? This may already be implemented, but I can't seem to find it.
Thank you for the great app. I love it! However, I've noticed that newly released Safari 3.1 hangs trying display these flash graphics on Rescuetime dashboard.
I don't know is this Safari problem (I'm sure flash object work fine on other sites), but think you should be informed about this issue.
Wish I could see if I'm spending more or less time overall in front of the screen given the specified date range. E.g. avg 10.3 hours/day and when I change the range: avg 8.9 hours/day or whatever.
