Thank you.
Interesting. I have a few questions/comments about the TracHours plugin, if you have the time: - when clicking on the total hours for a milestone on your demo site (total hours: 645...or soemthing) which calculates correctly I might add: the breakdown threw the following error: "Oops… Trac detected an internal error: KeyError: 'to_year' There was an internal error in Trac. It is recommended that you inform your local Trac administrator and give him all the information he needs to reproduce the issue. The action that triggered the error was: GET: /hours" does this happen in the current version, and is it planned to be fixed. - is this compatible with the Timing and Estimation plugin for the purposes of other plugins that rely on it? (assuming they only use the total_hours and estimated_hours fields) - what would it take to put back in the "add hours to ticket" option. the issue with directly editing is it doesn't prevent you from adding negative hours (ok, I think you can "add hours to ticket" with a negative, but it's less obvious - can we get the hour updates to show in the ticket history even when no comment is included? (is this configurable?) - any macro's planned to use this information and/or graph it. - any plan for totals/summations in reports and queries? - support for master tickets? (i.e., summation of esitmates/totals for child tickets.) Btw, I think it's a pretty darn good looking plugin so far. Similiar to the way Agilo does it, but their calculations are a little more advanced as they can operate on data from linked tickets, and do more than just sum. I am digging it, I may give it a try over the Timing and Estimation plugin if it proves compatible with the other plugins that use this data to do other things (reports, etc.) particularly the Mylyn plugin, which I don't actually use, but some here like that it can update total hours for them.
