Babis:
Hi. I migrated to tclock from tclock light, after I changed from XP to 7.
Although it is fully featured I have a couple of questions:
- Each time I launch a new timer, I have to re-enter the wav file, to check the Repeat/Blink checkboxes and the minutes to start count down always set to 10. Is there a way to remember the previous timer's settings? So when I press the hotkey there will be 3 minutes, 30 seconds, the alarm wav file selected and both check boxes checked?
- Tclock properties> time format>custom format: it does not accept the dash / key as a day separator, though it accepts \ Is this normal behavior?
Thanks & congrats for the app.

That is most peculiar as it is supposed to be saving any configured timer until the Delete Timer X button next to the configured timers drop down menu is clicked. Other wise all timer configuration should be stored in the registry under:
HKCU\Software\Stoic Joker's\T-Clock 2010\Timers\TimerX [X being the timer number]
Scrolling through the configured timers dropdown menu should automatically display the options selected for that timer. Can you confirm that the timer config is getting stored in that registry location when a timer is started?

It should accept any character you put in, unless the character is one of the format specifiers. In which case you need to encase it in "quotes" to ge it to display as-is. Note: \n is a line break. Can you post the string you are trying to use?

Thanks for your prompt reply.

The string is:
--- ---dd/mm - hh:nn
And at the taskbar it looks like this:

Nice, I can confirm confirm. I edited it through registry and now it "remembers" the settings.

Is it possible that the countdown timer instead of its own window, is shown next to the clock in the sys tray? Or to have the default option when I start the timer the window to show by default? Because now it shows only on demand.
Also what it is supposed to blink? As I do not see any blink.

Hm... (Sadly, I had to go read the help file...(memory going)) The system default regional settings formatting superceeds (/is used by) the T-Clock format specifiers. If you close T-Clock, does the Window's clock display dd/mm or dd-mm? If you put the slashes in quotes (dd"/"mm) does it display correctly (as you want it to)?

Before you edited the registry, was the info garbled, or missing? What regional & language settings are you using? I'm trying to figure out how to reproduce this behavior.

IIRC there was something like that requested before, but I haven't had time to address it yet. But yes, the default timer behavior is a bit coy/odd/annoying...and something I've been meaning to address at some point.

Clock text gets flashes bright, dim, bright, dim (it can be a bit subtle with certain color combinations).
Babis:
Stoic Joker, thanks for taking the time to write such detailed reply.
I will revert on Monday as at home I am still with XP and I need to access my work's PC.
However I am certain that I do not see any blink at the end of the countdown and I use the default color in the taskbar.
