gtimelog 0.5.0

Switched from Glade to GtkBuilder. This fixes those strange theme problems GTimeLog had with Ubuntu’s Radiance and especially Ambiance. (LP: #644393)

Packagers note: src/gtimelog/gtimelog.glade is gone, it was replaced by src/gtimelog/gtimelog.ui. It needs to be installed into /usr/share/gtimelog/.

GTimeLog now supports Ubuntu’s application indicators. There’s a new configuration option, prefer_app_indicator, defaulting to true. Fixes LP: #523461.

GTimeLog tries to detect your theme color and make the tray icon dark or bright, for good contrast. This is a hack that doesn’t work reliably, but is better than nothing. Fixes LP: #700428.

Packagers note: there’s a new icon file, src/gtimelog/gtimelog-small-bright.png. It needs to be installed into /usr/share/gtimelog/.

Made GTimeLog a single instance application. Requires python-dbus. The following command line options are supported:

gtimelog --ignore-dbus
    always launch a new application instance, do not start the DBus service

gtimelog --toggle
    if GtimeLog already running, show or hide the GTimeLog window,
    otherwise launch a new application instance

gtimelog
    if GtimeLog already running, bring the GTimeLog window to the front,
    otherwise launch a new application instance

New option: start_in_tray. Defaults to false. Contributed by Bruce van der Kooij (https://launchpad.net/~brucevdk), as part of his patch for LP: #356495.

New command-line option: –tray. Makes GTimeLog start minimized, or exit without doing anything if it’s already running.

Added some documentation for contributors: HACKING.txt.

Daily reports include totals by category. Contributed by Laurynas Speičys <laurynas@pov.lt>.

The tasks pane can be toggled by pressing F9 and has a close button.

Alternative weekly and monthly report style, can be chosen by adding report_style = categorized to ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc. Contributed by Laurynas Speičys <laurynas@pov.lt>.

Bugfix: always preserve the order of entries, even when they have the same timestamp (LP: #708825).

Double-clicking a category in task list tries hard to focus the input box (fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/608734).

Change default mailer to quote the command passed to x-terminal-emulator -e; this makes it work with Terminator (also tested with xterm and gnome-terminal). Fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/592552.

Note: if you’ve used gtimelog before, you’ll have to manually edit ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc and change the mailer line from

mailer = x-terminal-emulator -e mutt -H %s

to

mailer = x-terminal-emulator -e “mutt -H %s”

Use xdg-open by default for editing timelog.txt and opening spreadsheets. Fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/592560.

Note: if you’ve used gtimelog before, you’ll have to manually edit ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc and change

editor = gvim spreadhsheet = oocalc %s

to

editor = xdg-open spreadsheet = xdg-open %s
