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..

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.
