No "immediate notifications" for goals?
Hi folks,
I have a goal setup for the amount of time spent on very distracting activities (Score of -2). I've set my alert to "notify me immediately" when I reach this number. Unfortuantely, I'm not getting any messages for the last few days.
Version Info:
Collector - 2.0.0.643
OS - Windows XP SP2
Network - HTTP Proxy

Inappropriate?The "notify me immediately" setting does not send an email, instead it should display a message directly on your screen.
For Windows this will appear as balloon text over the RescueTime icon in your system tray and it should look similar to:
For OS X this feature requires Growl and will appear up near near the clock:
Depending on your screen size (and number of screens) the alerts might go unnoticed. I'm not sure if this helps at all. Let me know if you still don't notice your alerts.
An easy way to test this is to set a couple of test goals for < .01 hours per day and exceed those goals to see if alerts show up.
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?Hi Joe,
Desktop notifications still aren't working for me. Version 2,1.0,101 on XP SP2.

Inappropriate?Hi Joe,
I did some testing using the "alert if <activity> exceeds .01 hours" setting that you recommended above. Here are my findings:
1. If the RescueTime client setting in the taskbar is "hide when inactive", the alert shows up.
2. If the RescueTime client setting is "always hide", the alert will not display.
I know it's an odd setting, but since the client is mostly silent, it seemed to make sense to me to have it hidden. Not sure if you can fix it, but this might be a gotcha for some users.
PS: The genesis of this weird test was seeing your screenshot above and noticing that the client was active in your taskbar. It's always the oddest things...
I’m confident I've helped nail this bug down
