Eric,
I was just reviewing the state of play on your timer work. It really is
fantastic. These features have being long sort after, a question and a
feature request if I may.
Question
- What function do you see the pause-able clock playing?
- One could click it when starting work and review it
- But I wonder if you have another idea in mind.
Feature request
- Perhaps this already possible, but is it possible to trigger some
actions defined in a tiddler or macro when a timer completes?
- I ask this because then any set of actions can be triggered.
- One could send a message to save 15 mins after the last save or
regularly.
- Or in startup set a count down to open a modal 10 minutes
- Perhaps even a timer to save and logout/check in after 30 minutes
of inactivity
- I assume we can just reset the value to restart the count down
when we save.
- Not unlike your SampleCountdownSequence one could use a timer
action to trigger another timer action
- This a set of tiddlers with expected times eg a calendar could
trigger and action/message and set the next timer on the next tiddler.
This solution really benefits from you being the author with you extensive
knowledge, because timing solutions can kill an app or software, if not
done correctly, so this is greatly appreciated.
Regards
TW Tones
