SUMMARY
Currently each timer is an independent entity in KTimer. If I start a timer, I
can start other timer in parallel too. But there is no way currently to group
timers into a set such that they be controlled and run in an order or sequence.
So for example if we have 4 timers, Timer A, Timer B, Timer C and Timer D. We
should be able to group 3 of them, i.e. Timer A, Timer B and Timer C into one
group and then apply the various options like Loop, Consecutive tasks, etc on
the group. If the user selects Loop option and consecutive tasks option for the
group then the Timers in the group are run repeatedly in the order that they
are given. So taking our above example, Timer A is run for the period of time
given in the Timer, then Timer B is run for the period of time given in the
Timer, then Timer C is run for the period of time given in the Timer and then
this cyle repeats.
If the user selects only the option consecutive tasks and not the Loop option
for the group then Timers should run one after the other. Taking our example
from earlier, Timer A is run, the Timer B is run and finally Timer C is run and
it stops.
If the user selects only the option loop and not the consecutive task option
for the group then each timer in the group will be run repeatedly independent
of each other depending on when the user starts the timer in the group.
Please note that the grouping of 3 timers is just an example. It should be
possible to group 2 timers or 4 timers or more timers into a single group.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KTimer application
2. Create a few timers
3. Try to select the timers and then group them.
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no grouping mechanism. Each Timer is an independent entity. This
prevents the chaining of timers.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a mechanism to group timers and then chain them in an order. So
that various operations can be applied to them as a group.
