How can I view window_title data from the dashboard?

Although this is a fantastic product, being able to split apps out by window title would make it much more useful for me.
I work out of VMware boxes and need to split up my time depending on the box I'm working with.
Thanks!

Another example... I use Excel for work-related spreadsheets, but I also use it for my personal checkbook register, keeping track of tv shows recorded/watched etc. Not to mention the master Black Friday shopping deals spreadsheet! (Obviously these would be considered personal, and not work).

I just wanted to add that the window title data should be considered as a MUST have due to the way in which we all work. We most likely are "expert" in a few programs and therefore tend to do all our work in that program. Example Outlook and Word. If I spend two hours mailing friends then this simply shows as Outlook (and Word if that is my email editor), this doesn't really help me to see what I am doing. Only what tool I am using. BIG difference.

I use remote desktop application for approx 50% of my work (sometimes more) and it is essential that this is recorded with the window title rather than the name of the app.

In actual fact it would be really cool if you could enable or disable this feature on an application by application basis. Default is only to record the App name (as now), but you could say for any particular App, make the window title the primary information.

Would work a treat for me! :-)

Another thought on this one, it would be even more useful to have some sort of pattern matching for titles. i.e. Any window title including the word "projectA" is assigned to tag project-one.
mmmm that would be even more useful for me...

I would like to join in on these requests. I use MS Terminal Services Client (remote desktop) on many of my customers and therefore just telling me that I have used this program does not really tell me anything. I know that most of my day is spent on other servers from remote desktop, but I do not know wich ones. Adding the window title can be done easily if you do it in delphi:
ForegroundWnd :=GetForegroundWindow;
windows.GetWindowText(ForegroundWnd, capt, 79);
the caption will be in the capt variable. But i guess you knew this already. So to summen up: Please add the window title...

Same for me , rescuetime would only be useful for me if window title is used instead of application name ...

Same for me. Please incorporate this!!!

This kind of "granularity" would obviously extend the usefulness of RescueTime tremendously. The possibility of being able to assign tags based solely on the app being used, OR attributes like text patterns in the name of the data file the app is working with at the time, OR the window title of an application would be fantastic. We're asking the world from these guys, but hey, they may be able to deliver -- go, guys, go.....

Same request for me. I do not understand the point in Rescue Time to upload all window title information (in plain English: "file names"), if this information is made un-available in the dashboard, just sitting on Rescue Time's servers.

But for privacy issues, it is definitely better that all the tagging of files and folders is done locally on the machine by the Rescue Time Data Collector.
Instead of uploading

app_name: Photoshop
window_title: 'TopSecretClient_HomePageComp_01.psd'

then to upload

app_name: Photoshop
window_title: 'Work' (< - tags defined locally on the machine)

That would also reduce the amount of data uploaded to Rescue Time's servers, therefore reducing its costs (or allowing for more users for the same amount of servers).

ppgs, I have to disagree with you.

Disk space is cheap. Bandwidth is relatively cheap. If the users want a feature, and RescueTime has the technical ability to deliver that feature, then nothing else should get in the way of adding that feature.

It would probably be more expensive in the long term to build (and maintain) a client side UI (both Mac & PC) to do tagging locally, than it would be to just store all the data on the servers and have 1 unified UI to add tags from.

Agreed. I would love to know when this feature gonna be available...

I would like this feature too. Among other things, it would allow me do distinguish among Visual Studio solutions I work on.

Yes please! I have to track my time by project for work, and I usually have several projects open in Textmate, as well as different Navicat windows for different databases.

Any updates on this? I'm in need of this feature as well!

Bump. Really need to be able to tag based on window title as well as application. I use putty to connect to local servers for work and remote servers for non-work.

As a clarification to this, it would be useful to be able to specifiy a regex for the title as often the title will be changed during a single session (e.g. for unix shell current directory).
