Stopwatch is a time tracking and invoice generation application currently in use by a number of NEXTSTEP consultants to automate their client billing. It should be of interest to anyone who bills hourly for their time. Stopwatch allows you to track time and expenses by entering them manually, and to automatically track time spent on the computer, by simply clicking a start/stop button. Invoice generation is remarkably simple. You create RTF "template" files for invoice detail, expenses and overall invoice, using simple pre-defined keywords, such as [rate] and [hours]. New RTF files are generated by passing the information from the time and expense database through these templates. In inspector window allows you to define client information (e.g. contact name, address, billing rate) and to view and edit data on working sessions or expenses. The app includes on-line help. Please send any bug reports and other comments or suggestions to: stopwatch@plevin.com Richard Plevin Oakland, CA 13 Feb 94 Bug Fixes for 2.5.1 (2/16/94) ----------------------------- * Performed upload again to repair unexplained bug in the Help.store file which caused the Help command to dump. Bug Fixes for 2.5 (2/13/94) --------------------------- * Made the ClientView form scrollable so you can see long client names, etc. * Changed Cmd-k (compact sessions) and Cmd-D (delete all) so that they don't expose the inspector. * Fixed HideOnAutoLaunch preference New Features for 2.5 (2/13/94) ------------------------------ * Added "Windows" submenu so Cmd-w closes the inspector window. * Consultant information is now stored in the defaults database and can be inserted into the various templates. The valid keywords are: [myName], [myCompany], [myStreet], [myCity], [myState], [myZip], [myPhone], [myFax], and [myEmail]. These values can be edited using the Preferences panel. * The last selected client is now remembered in the defaults db and that client is selected again at startup. * Session durations are now displayed in hh:mm format, instead of just showing elapsed minutes. * Added a "ShowEndTimes" preference setting, which will optionally show the end times for each session. * Added column headings to the Expenses and Sessions browsers * All dollar amounts in inspectors and generated files now sport commas in the appropriate places. (Of course for the Europeans, this should be decimal points, but we'll get to that later...)
