TRINFINITY SOFTWARE RELEASES TIME TRACK 1.2.2 FOR MACINTOSH AND WINDOWS For immediate release. NEW YORK, N.Y. - - February 28, 2003 - - Trinfinity Software released today an update to Time Track, it's popular "time tracking" software. This update fixes a bug that caused Time Track to crash when printing all logs and a bug that caused Time Track to quit when being sent to the background on launch. This update also fixed the Undo & Redo code so that it does not fill up the application's memory and cause it to quit when editing large files. It fixed bugs in the Rate Calculator, the Log File selection dialog, and the Main Window as well. The popup menus on these windows previously showed invisible files from the Logs folder. All of these popup menus now use the same code, which does not show invisible files. Time Track now automatically checks to see if there is a newer version available and informs the user if there is one available. This feature can be disabled. The user can also manually check for updates via the "Check For Updates" menu item to the "Online" menu. This version has added a log file popup menu and description popup menu to the New AutoTrack window and added a Log button to the Rate Calculator to make it easier for the user to add the total time, rate, and total cost to their logs. The AutoTrack controls are now disabled when running on Windows because the AutoTrack feature only works on Macintosh. Time Track 1.2 introduced several extremely useful features including the new AutoTrack feature, which allows users to automatically track the time spent using almost any application without having to click on the start and stop button. This feature has been designed to greatly enhance workflow and prevent the user from losing time because they forgot to start logging. The AutoTrack Monitor window allows the user to see which AutoTrack applications are running and how much time has elapsed since they started being logged. New features have been added to allow Time Track to run autonomously in the background, including the ability to have Time Track launched when the computer boots up and the ability to send the application to the background when launched. Time Track is now AppleScriptable and the downloadable archive contains sample scripts for controlling Time Track. One of the included samples is a FolderAction script that can be used turn logging on when a folder is opened and turn logging off when the folder is closed. This is a great solution for users that want to track the usage of files rather than applications. Time Track's Control Strip Module (CSM), called Time Track Strip, is now complete. This CSM gives user's the ability to start and stop logging without having to bring Time Track to the front. Time Track Strip's icon reflects the current logging status so that user's can know at a glance whether they are logging or not. Numerous other improvements have been made to make using Time Track easier and faster, including a clock on the main window that shows the time elapsed since the user began logging, a window menu to allow the user to select between the open windows, the ability to export log files to other formats including TDF (Tab Delimited File), undo and redo support for log file editing, a recent items menu, a recent descriptions popup menu, a recent rates popup menu, and the ability to print all of the log files at once. The specific issues addressed in this and previous updates are listed in the "Time Track Version History" file located in the "Documentation" folder of the downloadable archive. Time Track 1.2.2 costs $24.95 for a single user license. This update is free for all registered Time Track users. New users can download and evaluate Time Track 1.2.2 for 30 days. Time Track 1.2.2 is available for the following platforms: - Macintosh PowerPC - Macintosh Carbon for MacOS X - Windows 32-Bit (98/NT/2000/Me/XP) Time Track 1.2.2 is available for download at: http://www.trinfinitysoftware.com/timetrack.shtml You can purchase Time Track 1.2.2 here: http://order.kagi.com/cgi-bin/r1.cgi?6DC&&; For further information, please contact: Eileen Newsom [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.trinfinitysoftware.com __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to MacDev-1, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to MacDev-1, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the SUBJECT line reading "SUBSCRIBE MACDEV-1".
