Fusion Digital: Chronicle 1.1 Development Update 2 - Fusion Digital

Greetings again!

We've been working hard on our latest Chronicle update which we hope to have available sometime soon. Most of the improvements we can't show you as they are behind the scenes code changes to make Chronicle faster or more stable, but let's take a look at what we have so far as well as what's in the works.



Theme Support

As mentioned in our previous post, we have added theme support. Obviously this is a feature not everyone will use, which is why we will be defaulting to "Windows Standard".

Timer Decoupled from Selected Task

As you can see, I also have not selected even a project in this screenshot. In 1.1, the decision about whether the timer can be turned on or not is entirely up to the connector. Our three will not require a task to be selected, but will require a project.

Billable Support

Entries can now be marked as billable, if the connector supports it.

Minor UI Improvements

Sometimes, it's the little things that count. Now, when you quit Chronicle, the last used project/task will be pre-selected for you (configurable in options dialog) so you can just start right away on whatever it is you wanted to do. We'll also allow customising the font for the clock area, and if the timer is running you will now be prompted to submit your timer if you attempt to quit or change task. We're also changing our connectors to optionally only include assigned tasks, and to not display completed tasks.

Multiple Timers

Alright, this isn't actually in the release. However, we have spent considerable time re-engineering the timer framework to make it possible for us to add multiple timer support in the near future.

And if that wasn't enough, we're also working hard at new and improved features such as idle detection (a popular feature), G15 Keyboard support (if you have a Logitech GamePanel enabled keyboard such as the G15, or G19 then you will be able to have your timer displayed on the LCD panel rather than the screen).

Of course, feel free to suggest any features you would like to see in Chronicle. Just visit the Chronicle Feedback Forum or the Support Centre.
