Timekeeper, a handy little application

Righto, must have been in a bug in the qt xml libs in 4.3.0 rc1.
I just built against 4.3.0 commercial and I can now open a previously saved file.

The timing issue persists though, after a 7 second job, the duration reads '12:00:07 AM'.
Seems a little odd that the duration has AM included as well as the 12 at the beginning.
I'm guessing a new date time object has a default value of 12:00:00 AM.

Seems like that's an actual bug in my program then. :-)

It's a QTime object. And I thought that it didn't know anything about locale. But this is easily fixed. I'll upload the fixed version in a little while.

Thanks for the heads up.

Edit: Ok. Could you try again now?

I just tried the old link from above and the file was different to the previous one I downloaded so I'm assuming it's the new one.

The duration is still formatted as 12:00:00 AM.
The weird thing is that I've now installed the final release of Qt 4.3.0 (Open Source) at work, but even this release version won't load the tkl file as with yesterday's experience, so it wasn't RC1 after all. Maybe my work PC is just dodgy.

PS
It's actually a runtime issue. I brought the binaries from the build I did at home along with the Qt binaries I compiled against, and it doesn't load the tkl on my work machine either.

Well, I'm not sure what to do with that.. I actually gave a string this time, not a QTime, using format "h:mm:ss". I feared the 12 might have stayed, but how could the AM still be there?...

I see I'm actually using Qt 4.2.3-r1 (open source). I'll upgrade later and see if that makes a difference for me.

Seems not. With Qt 4.3, I can still load the files and the duration correctly starts with 0:00. (However, compiling against Qt 4.3 does make the layout look a bit worse.)

Maybe if you have time, you could take a look at timekeepermodel.cpp, line 52. Try a few things until the duration format looks normal again. I can't do it myself, since I don't get the same bug.

Yup, now worries, I'll try to look at it this weekend.

Hi Michiel, great program... I just started using it to get myself more organized.

Was wondering if you have any report templates (.tkt) for summarizing total time spent in each category. Also, I am using the version in your .zip file (remember I couldn't open the tar.gz for some reason), so please let me know if you have a more recent version.

Thanks very much!
