that's working fine now (with IE8) :Thmbsup:

minor notes from today so far:

# close to tray should be default setting for an app like this imo
# I get a tray-popup after 30 seconds idle time [after two minutes inactivity it automatically stops the timer] - this is too soon imo, I find it pops up more often than I want and considering the (default?) two min limit on inactivity I think it would be better at the half-way (one minute) mark
# I right-clicked the app and added login details to prefs - I didnt get to see any image at any stage of the procedure. I prefer this myself :up: it's a functional app, you just want to log-in and work.
# if you login in the initial window (rather than via prefs) does it offer to save the login details? If not, that would be a logical addition.
# ticking noise is nice but too subtle I find. I barely notice it unless the volume is quite high. (Volume currently @ 20 here - I can hear other stuff mostly quite well at that volume.) I got used to it :up:

Everyone: A new version of the GUI Client has been released 0.9 with a security fix. Please update immediately as there was a problem passing the username and password through the $_GET string allowing log files to contain it.

Hmm, I'll need more feedback to justify changing the default.

Yeah i was always wondering about this, i just kind of got used to it personally, how about at the 75% mark?

Of course... I dont want any non-mini pages showing up either. :)

Good idea! i'll implement that in the next version

Yeah it's nice because it lets you know it is still running and you are still "at work"
But on another note, if you want to change the sound just go to the /sounds directory and copy another sound file with the same file name. If you find a good one maybe i'll include it in the next release!



Gui Future Updates
Instead of wrapping the website in a mini web browser, I want to get a real web service for cworklog.com allowing development on other operating systems very easy. What do you all think?

tomos:
thanks for the update Jim :up:

at this stage, someone is either working (probably reading a text) -or they've gone on a break. In either scenario any popup is fairly irrelevant, so I think the 75% mark would be good. (If taskbar is on autohide, it's fairly intrusive - taskbar pops up with the popup.)

well I think it's that - or add a minimise button (probably with minimise to tray?). I suspect the majority of people will not want an app on-top. But even if I'm wrong there, I think there should be some option out-of-the-box to minimise, or make the on-top window disappear.

Work Log GUI Works on Linux!!!
Today I decided to test the gui 0.9 on linux (Ubuntu 12.10) using wine (if you don't have wine type sudo apt-get install wine)

Simply download and extract the zip then right click WorkLogGui.exe and choose
"Open With Wine Windows Program Loader"

Now you can log your time on the cworklog.com cloud using Linux AND Windows
Drawbacks
 - the javascript engine does not work, thus making these things not work and useless:
 - Automatic-login,
 - the pop up menu calling Start and Stop time log useless
 - The pop up asking for specific time log notes to not pop up (you'll have to log your notes using time_log_show.php
