Bug ID: 170225
Summary: Feature Request: Track real usage time on documents,
not just the time the app is open.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I write a complex document, it is very handy to see how long I've edited
the document in total, especially when the editing sessions span multiple days.
When I forget to close the document, for example over night, when not shutting
down the notebook but only closing the lid to put it to sleep too, the counter
always continues to count even without editing anything for hours and adds this
non-usage time as editing time on next save. It's not unusual to work like
that.
I would like to change this time tracking behaviour to something like a new
option in settings for a user-defined value, that results (when not empty) in
ignoring the timespan longer than that value between editing changes being
counted? Example: I set this value to 1h, that results in not adding up the
counter between last saving the document before going to sleep and continuing
editing the (still opened) document the next day if longer than the value being
defined.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new document, save it, but don't close it.
2. Do something else without touching the document and come back later (in my
case very much later, like over night).
3. When returning enter anything in the still opened document and save again.
4. Look at the total editing time in the document properties.
5. Continue as long as you want.
Actual Results:
The timespan of the document being open (for example 72h, or 3 days, even when
the computer was put to sleep for hours in between making changes for seconds).
Expected Results:
Nothing else than always, since the proposed functionality does not exist yet.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Showing a more realistic timespan that echoes "real" editing time, not just the
time in the example described, maybe e few Minutes instead of 3 days.
