I ran through a full 1 hour sequence without any error occurring. In addition, I've run the AnalogClock and DigitalClock continuously for *many* hours. The clocks also tick once a second, so if there was a memory leak of some kind, they *should* have triggered it. Again... no errors appeared. If the error still happens for you, try to give as much info as possible to help me find the cause. Specifically, what *other* activities did you do during the CountdownSequence? Did you open/close the clocks? Did you pause/reset the Countdown? etc. > Another conceptual approach: I note that InstantBoss instead functions in > another way and which possibly makes more sense: It demands that the user > actively dismisses the popup *in order to start the next countdown*. > After all, if you're not attentive to the alert, then what's the point in > having it continue to count down on your next task?

When this checkbox is enabled, the CountdownSequence uses a modal dialog instead of the "inline message display" to announce the end of each worksession and breaktime. The countdown is automatically paused while the modal dialog is displayed, and only resumes when you press the "ok" button. You can even toggle the option while the CountdownSequence is running and it will be applied when the next event occurs. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
