Comment on Version 2.2 on the way… by Delft Bear

Thanks for the great software!
But two things confused me a lot.
1 Every time I try to specify one .WAV file as the alert audio, it comes to a error that ‘ Sound API only supports playing PCM wave files.’ I copy the audio file from the Win 7 media directory. like ‘C:\Windows\Media’

2 whenever I try to add an alert, the option window displayed that ‘ alert me after _H:_M:_S confused me most of time.
For instance, I try to specify a new timer with ‘ alert me after _H:5M:_S’, then I press start. It is working after 5 mins. But if I need to add 5 mins later alarm to existing running timer such as 01 : 21 : 53 with ‘ alert me after _H:5M:_S’, it is never working. Finally I figued out that I should input ‘ alert me after 01H : 26M: 53S’ to function as 5 mins later alram.
However, this tiny problem can be replaced by the coming ‘Countdown Timers’.

Last, is it possible to make a option to choose one specific sound by default as the alert sound. Otherwise I should choose the audio file every time I add a new alert.

Thanx

Great program! But …please tell me how to set an “alert” for after a certain time. Thank you.

Some requests :

1) the alert sounds only once – I would like a recurring alert, eg sounding every ten minutes
2) I do not want the WatchMe window to pop up when the alert sounds but to stay unobtrusively in the notification area
3) the WatchMe window width: I would like to have the option of viewing it as as a very small window showing just the time, nothing else

Thanks

Update: Found version 2.0.1.9 on Cnet. Thankfully it seems like it’s just the latest version that I downloaded today which seems to run excessively slow. Again…excellent timer…definitely worth more than free!

How can I download an older version? Love this timer but I just downloaded the latest version and noticed the timer runs far too slow on my system. I never paid attention to the accuracy of the timing on the prior version but always thought something was a little suspicious especially after the past month when it took me many hours less work to do a certain task that I know requires a certain amount of hours.

Love your software!

Few comments:

- Would like to have a shortcut to create a new tab
- Having Tabs on the left side, top to bottom, would be much more intuitive to me
- Being able to move a timer to a different tab would be great
- having the time of the timer displayed beside the trayicon would be nice (quicker, since no need to open the application)
- rather than deleting timers i would suggest to “close” them / archive them. maybe you want to have a look at them later on…

Keep the good work! – A fan!

What would be a great feature :
Possibility to recycle all the times automatically after the last one.
For example, you have tasks that are highly repetitive and on the clock, like 2 minute prep time, then a 6 minute activity, then another 1 minute to finish, and it would restart to the beginning automatically for the 2 min prep time again. Add then add a counter to count how many cycles passed.

Lot’s of schools and faculties use standardized tests or exams now, with different activity stations, this would save them a loooot of trouble!

Yeah, I like the simplicity of the design, perfectly minimalist, but without a countdown timer it is valueless at least for me. I’d like to use it for ebay auctions or other things that I know will happen at X:YZ o’clock and would like to set a timer to alert me. Implement that and EVERYONE will want this timer.
