About the mini-timer window. This is an annoying bug that we haven’t fixed yet but we have a work-around. To restore the size of the mini window, you will have to delete the setting that keeps it.

This user guide section http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com/user-guide/faq.html#faq-settings tells you how to change the settings manually. Follow the steps listed there and at step 4 delete the line that starts with ui.window.mini.bounds. This is the setting that remembers the size and location of the mini window.

This bug survived too many releases and should be fixed soon.

I’m playing with all the features and managed to maximize the timer window. Now I can’t figure out how to restore to the mini-timer. The restore button in the maximized timer switches to the fanurio view.

The maximized timer window remains the prominent window, so that won’t work.

I did see the instructions for using the timer in the system tray – will try that, but I’m bugged about this maximized timer and would very much appreciate the fix.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

Thanks!

> Could you have an option in the timer to round to the nearest interval?

That’s already possible. When you create an hourly rated item, you can specify how time is rounded in the Billing tab. You can round time up, down or to the nearest specified value.

You can also define a default rounding rule in Business > My Business Details > Billing. Once you do this, all project items will use it when created.

Something else came to me this morning using Fanurio. The time tracking is nice, but my clients don’t like having to wade through “4.03 hours” or “.79 hours” and such on an invoice. Could you have an option in the timer to round to the nearest interval (15 minute billing is common for many industries)?

Thanks.

Perfect . Thanks a lot.

> I kept inserting time against items in the “Pause” field.

This is interesting. Maybe we should validate the input and make sure the Time field is not 0:00. I don’t think anyone would want to create time entries with zero minutes.

> every where that I tried to right-click, nothing came up.

There are places where we display popup menus if you right-click the mouse, the projects tree for instance but this is not generalized. I’ll write this down and we’ll consider it for implementation in a future version.

> I only have 2 small critiques.

Actually, we love critiques. If you have more, keep them coming .

Sorry if this is off-topic to the 1.11 release, but I haven’t used any of the previous releases. First of all, I think this program is nearly perfect. It does everything a freelancer needs. I only have 2 small critiques.

One issue is because I did not even attempt to read documentation, I just clicking around randomly. But, I kept inserting time against items in the “Pause” field. I did this because the Pause field is right next to the “Finished at” field. The “started at” field is disabled by default, so my eyes when right to the enabled field, and I started playing with the hours and minutes right next to it. This perplexed me because all the items kept showing 00:00 time. My fault, not a real problem, but it might be considered a tiny tiny issue for UI.

Second issue is, again, just a minor minor thing. But, every where that I tried to right-click, nothing came up. It only took about 3 min to get used to the buttons being on the bottom, but I really felt like right-clicking things to edit them and some things did not have right-click menus.

Also, the template editor for invoices kinda blew me away. Unexpectedly powerful.

Totally great, going to recommend it to all my freelancer friends.

If you want to use automatic invoice numbers in Fanurio, go to Business > My Business Details > Billing to enable them.

You can number invoices globally or per client. To learn more about auto-numbering, please read this user guide section: http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com/user-guide/tutorial-describing-your-business.html

The *only* thing that GnuCash has that this doesn’t is automatic invoice numbers. But, gnucash doesn’t have a built-in timer. Hmm…
