great tool, just one thing though

Unread postby user » Wed Oct 21, 2009 2:53 pm

first of all, this is a pretty nice program. thank you for working on it.

i don't know if it's me or a real bug, but every time i click on File> Open and select a saved configuration or clock preference, (dunno exactly what it even saves/opens), the Timer crashes and disappears.

my only request/suggestion would be to make a more user-friendly interface for different sets of counters/timers/stopwatches so that you can enable/disable the ones you aren't using.. as personally i run multiple timers and i like to have them with different sizes and times, but when i re-run after shutting down/restarting the program i want to enable/disable a specific set of timers, but have to start from scratch in case one doesn't appear..

Presets >
Title 1 [x]
Title 2 [ ]
Title 3 [x]
title 4 [ ]

It is already planned for the next release.

that's great. looking forward to it.

also what about; inside options under the boxes that you can tick "Play audio file:" "Launch a file" "Raise a signal on port:" you can add something such as; "message:" where you can add a simple custom text dialog to prompt user once timer is finished. with also a short-cut somewhere to fast "edit message".

i have also sent it to support now. hope i'm not doing anything wrong to cause the crash.

Create a file ShowLine.js with the following content:
Code: Select all
WScript.Echo("Message");

and assign this file to Launch a file.

it doesn't show any message, just turns on dreamweaver with the line "WScript.Echo("Message");"

also the idea was to create more dynamic messages, so you can fast edit each one by a simple right click.

You have to associate .js files with JavaScript engine Windows Script Host (wscript.exe) not HTML editor.

I'm not sure simple messages are even useful. You might paint big pictures with any messages and images and associate them with Launch a file.
